For once some news about a game that's not being delayed for one reason or another. From Gamespot (http://www.gamespot.com/news/6180770.html?om_act=convert&om_clk=newstop&tag=newstop;title;4):
While Virtua Fighter was one of the very first 3D fighting games when it debuted in 1993, it has been one of the last big brawling series to take the plunge into online gaming. The long wait for Virtua fans is almost over, as today Sega announced that the game has gone gold, and is on track to meet its October 30 launch date.
Originally released earlier this year on the PlayStation 3, Virtua Fighter 5 features 17 fighters--two of them new to the series--as well as the ability to customize characters with new items purchased with in-game prize money. In addition to online play, the Xbox 360 version of the game features leaderboards and the ability to download matches from the top fighters so would-be contenders can study their fighting styles. Players will also be able to purchase downloadable Virtua Fighter 5 content through the Xbox Live Marketplace.
I still like using Prophet of Truth's quote "There are those who said this day would never come, what are they to say now?" at a buddy who for the longest time kept hammering that Sega would never put the VF series online...who plans on getting the game?
-----
To Harvest or not to Harvest, that is the question;
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The pipes and bullets of outrageous Splicers,
Or to take arms against a horde of Big Daddies,
And by opposing, end them. To die, to sleep...
