VIRTUA FIGHTER 4.1 PLANNED FOR XBOX: FIRST DETAILS

With the PlayStation 2 version attracting rave reviews, first solid word of an Xbox outing for Suzuki's fighter reaches our ever twitching ears

16:47 Virtua Fighter 4 is a PlayStation 2 exclusive, right? Not according to our sources. Whispers are emerging that a new version of Sega's acclaimed fighter is on the way to Xbox, and will include extras over the PlayStation 2 version, due for release on May 10.
Sources close to Yu Suzuki, the legendary creator of the Virtua Fighter series and driving force behind Shen Mue, have confirmed that the developer has been speaking of a version 4.1, for release late this year for the arcade and Xbox. The current game, released in the arcade and on PlayStation 2, is version C.

Virtua Fighter 4.1 is to include at least one new character and new arenas, but very little is known at this point. The news is likely to rattle Sony's cage, even though the new version is expected in Japanese this autumn at the earliest.

What sucks about it???

hmmm...sounds more like a rumour, but whatever...

I'll tell you guys if it's any good in a few weeks ;)

[fanboy]Hahaha, that sucks! They call it Virtua Fighter 4.1 just like a computer program. Xbox is just a PC lol lol lol.[/fanboy]

*realizes so far GameCube just has Bloody Roar*

:(

I'm not a big fighting game fan, but its another rental at least.:)

Xantar, this positive XBox topic was immediately replied to by a XBox hating fanboy. Gee, that doesn't happen much.:rolleyes: :D

Great... were are getting tons of games.

I'll see how good the PS2 version is and drool until the X-Box version.

Virtua Fighter 4 Fighting its Way onto Xbox??

Sega of America gives us the official response on whether or not Virtua Fighter 4 is Xbox bound.

You may have heard that several European magazines, like OXM UK, are reporting that Sega is bringing Virtua Fighter 4 to the Xbox. Well, we spoke to Sega of America and they gave us a real bummer of an official response. Bryce Baer, PR guru of SOA, said "Virtua Fighter 4 is a PlayStation2 exclusive. We will let you know if there is any additional news."

-ign

just something to think about

KABOOM!!!

Perfect Stu shoots down another rumour and restores faith in the gold old PS2. Good job Stu!

:sneaky:

As a gamer, what does the idea that Virtual Fighter 4.1 isn't coming to the XBox have to do with the PS2? It doesn't make the PS2 version any better. Hmmmmmm:unsure:

Well, it just recomfirms the exclusiveness of the game. I don't remember anybody saying anything about it not coming out on XBox making it better...

I don't know, sounded awfully fanboyish to me.

I think every game should be on every console that can handle it. I don't get my jollies from hearing that Halo won't be going to the PS2.

I cannot congradulate Sega on keeping their promise for the game to be an exclusive?

That makes no sense. :confused:

Yeah, I'm sure that's what was going through your head when you wrote that.

Anyway, as i said I'm not a big fighting game fan. The franchises that I really hope end up on the Box are MGSX and GTA3. I know that MGSX probably has a 30% or so chance of making it on the XBox, but I think GTA 3 is actually coming late this summer. I can't wait to play that game.

I actually went down to blockbuster to rent a PS2 so I could play GTA 3, but they don't rent them anymore. DAMN:D
