And the above fact is this - OFFICIAL. Scroll down and read the press release. It's all in there, plus it's arriving on Xbox 360 in "late summer" which means PS3's Reason To Exist List has just got massively shorter - ie, it's gone from having one game on it to having no games on it.


VF5 - Not just on PS3 any more!

While VF5 coming to Xbox 360 isn't quite as great as SEGA saying VF5 is coming to a new SEGA console it's making especially for Virtua Fighter (ie, the Saturn), it still means we don't have to even think about maybe getting a PS3 just for VF5 any more. And neither do you. Or anyone else!


Or we could just pay off the mortgage a bit :(

The money we save on not having to buy a PS3 just for VF5 can now be reinvested in SEGA plush toys. We'll even be able to afford a SUPER R@RE MINT WITH TAG Mecha Sonic now. And another Cream The Rabbit, to replace the one we've worn the arse out of.


'Real time fist usage!!!'

You could Photoshop Ken Kutaragi's head onto Pai's body for a hilarious joke to post on a video game forum! A speech bubble from Sarah Bryant could be something about her causing 'massive damage'! We have tears in our eyes just thinking about the potential for hilarity this news has unleashed.


An internet joke

Here's one we made in literally two minutes. The purple circle is meant to be a black eye. We are not artists.


The SHIT PS3 version

These are just PS3 screenshots we got off the internet, so don't get too excited too quickly. VF5 won't be out on Xbox 360 until a few months after PS3 - that's what "system exclusive" means these days. The press release says "late summer" for the Xbox 360 version, so that's only a few more months for the freetrade alternative to the evil PS3 game.


Happy days

We are all winners thanks to PS3's upcoming defeat. This also means SEGA's been working on Xbox 360 VF5 for quite some time. There has therefore been a small amount of "smoke and mirrors" surrounding its development.


And a Merry Christmas to you too

You have no idea how relieved we feel right now. It's like emerging from the bathroom having had a gigantic poo AND a wank AND the first shower in three days. Now we feel light and envigourated and clean and whole and invincible. Thanks, SEGA.


THE OFFICIAL THING ABOUT XBOX 360 VF5 FROM SEGA, SO YOU KNOW WE'RE NOT JUST ALREADY DRUNK FOR CHRISTMAS AND MAKING THINGS UP:
SEGA ANNOUNCES VIRTUA FIGHTER 5 FOR XBOX 360

Premiere Fighting Game Franchise Makes First Appearance on Microsoft’s Next Generation Videogame Console

SAN FRANCISCO & LONDON (December 21, 2006) – SEGA of America, Inc. and SEGA Europe Ltd. today announced that the highly anticipated arcade fighting game, Virtua Fighter 5, will make its way onto the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system. Virtua Fighter 5 is scheduled for release on Xbox 360 in North America and in Europe during late summer 2007. The game will also be available for the PLAYSTATION3 computer entertainment system on February 20th, 2007 in North America and will be available in Europe simultaneously with the system’s launch in March 2007.

"Those people lucky enough to have already played Virtua Fighter 5 will know that it's laid the foundations to become the clear benchmark for fighting games on all next generation consoles", said Matt Woodley, Creative Director, SEGA Publishing Europe Ltd. "Bringing Virtua Fighter 5 to the Xbox 360 offers us a platform with power to handle the astonishing visuals, the complex and varied fighting styles of all the customisable characters and will undoubtedly put Virtua Fighter 5 into the hands of a gaming audience craving for a highly polished and credible fighting game."

Virtua Fighter 5 features beautifully detailed stages from around the world where players face off in fast-moving martial arts battles against one of 17 characters. Two lively new characters join the elite group of fighters, adding two new unique fighting styles for players to try and master. With more skill and strategy than ever before, players are also given the opportunity to learn and employ the new "Offensive Move" technique to take down their opponents from different angles, adding a new dimension to the game and something for both new and old fans to master. Virtua Fighter 5 also includes the ability to customise characters by selecting from four base costumes and a wide range of unlockable accessories and earnable items. As players win more tournaments they will not only earn costumes and accessories, but also prizes and in-game money that will allow them to buy items from the in-game shop.

"The Virtua Fighter series from SEGA has one of the most prestigious histories in video games," said Jeff Bell, corporate vice president of global marketing for the Interactive Entertainment Business at Microsoft. "It's a franchise that has grown an army of loyal fans both in arcades and on consoles worldwide, and is consistently rated extremely high by the media. Fighting game fans have been hungry for Virtua Fighter 5 and we can now proudly deliver this game with SEGA to Xbox 360 gamers around the world."

Developed by the highly renowned Tokyo based development team, AM R&D Development No.2, Virtua Fighter 5 for the Xbox 360 will be available across Europe and North America during late summer 2007.


"PlayStation3 is totally fucked now. Even hardcore gamers don't need it for any reason at all. This is SEGA's ULTIMATE REVENGE" added UK:Resistance, in a small footnote at the bottom of the press release that definitely wasn't sent out with the proper press release.

And having Microsoft ruling the video game industry would be any better than Sony?

After all, it's done such a good job with the PC market, I'm sure we'd all be living in a lovely dream world if it conquered the video game market.

Although there isn't really much chance of that happening as: a) the Xbox 360 has sold worse than the original Xbox and b) even the PSP outsold this year in the UK.
Blogger Elliot said...
I see that the Wikipedia article has already been modified to reflect the news.
Blogger aporkalypse said...
Kikizo reported that the 360 version is based on revision C of the arcade machine, while the PS3 version is merely revision B.

The fallout at the shithole that is NeoGAF is beyond hilarious. Hopefully they bring out a spiffy joystick aswell.

Yes
Blogger phorenzik said...
I knew it would happen. I think I even posted something to this effect on your last VF post. Now all I have to do is predict a new Sega console. And maybe predict a good Sonic game.......and Nights 2. All our lives will then be complete.

This comment wasn't very funny was it? I'll add a random swear word to make it slightly less wank than it is........see what I did there? I included a swear word in the sentence that was predicting that I would actually swear. Clever eh?

Yes, because Microsoft didn't kill the Sega's Dreamcast.
Blogger psychospeed said...
Sony killed the Dreamcast? No sorry that was Microsofts doing, they pulled the support for the Dreamcast when they decided to build the Xbox off of the Dreamcasts design. Ever notice that? Its an oversized fuglified dreamcast down to the controller. Sega found they got screwed and knew they couldnt hold up to both Sony and Microsoft along with Nintendo. Sega pulled the plug, end of story.

Yes Sony hyped and sold the PS2 better, but you ignorant bastards are just a bunch of wantabe's on the lets bash sony train now. Look back and you see you fell into Microsofts old tricks that theyve been doing since they stole Dos from Apple.

YOU ARE A DISGRACE TO SEGA! FIGHT THE TRUE ENEMY, MICROSOFT! All your lie watches are twisted truths and misunderstood wordings, for what? The death of Sega? Inaccaptable expectations? PS2 graphics not being 'ToyStory' quality (which was met by the way). Or what?
Blogger phorenzik said...
Nice post Psychospeed. You clearly got so angry that you forgot how to spell correctly. Thus, making your argument look like the ramblings of an angry child. Why don't you go and visit that arse-awful PSP viral wank-site thing. It'll probably be right up your street.

DEAD OR ALIVE CREATOR ANSWERS TO SEXUAL HARASSMENT CHARGES WITH ENGRISH DEFENSE!

Tomonobu Itagaki, creator of the popular 'Dead or Alive' series, entered a 'not guilty' plea in response to allegations of sexual harassment by a female Tecmo employee.
Itagaki explained that the matter was merely a misunderstanding due to 'Engrish'.
"Hey...the only reason I asked her to 'clean my chimney' was because she kept talking about this 'loss soot'."
Blogger Ante-nah said...
Well since everyone seems to pour their heart out, I also have been reading this site since...I don't know but seems like a while.
I think I started reading around the time you posted a picture of a thing cumming on another thing.
Anyway I went back and read every article though so I am a 'loyal' fan.

I love Sega AND Sony when it comes to gaming though but you still have to appreciate good humour no matter at whose expense and that's what keeps me coming back. See, even on Christmas.

I am a bit worried about the support you give to X360 though. That machine is a total disgrace to gaming. And damn Microsoft. I hate them SO MUCH!

Sega, Sony and Nintendo. Yay. Would be the ultimate battle :D

This site is so beyond fanboyism that the likes of psychospeed and others are automatically huge weeping-seeping dicks for posting here and not seeing that.

Nodesofefyesad:

Dude, again, you are missing the point. This site is not meant to be taken seroiusly...it's hard to explain, like I said before you either get the humor or you don't...I guess if you don't have a sense of humor this would come off the wrong way to you.

Whatever I don't really have time to defend this site I just hope the site creator knows that there is a silent majority who enjoy his site and get his humor. Most of us just aren't "arse" enough to actually sign up to defend it ...
Blogger disinformativ said...
Getting angry at UKR is like getting angry at Borat for being Anti-Semetic. Just missing the point entirely...

OK I'm done hope that clears things.

Well done. Go and have a fag.

"PS2 graphics not being 'ToyStory' quality (which was met by the way)."

When?
