The PS3 just lost yet another exclusive title. SEGA has announced VF5 as a summer release for the PS3. Pay $600 or wait a few months, you decide.

I didn't think it would stay exclusive, at the current rate things are right now I didn't believe for a second it would've been that profitable to have a game like that on just one system. Good for Sega, good for 360, bad for PS3. What's next, FF13?

I actually submited that story to Joystiq =P

Its really bad news for Sony, I'm not much of a Virtua Fighter fan, I perfered playing Tekken in the Arcade and I never got into the series on the console market, I liked DoA & Soul Calibur alot more. But I do know one thing... This is another "Exclusive" Playstaion game that just went Multi-console. =P

You, me, and several others. I have Joystiq comments about VF5 hitting 360 before they posted the story

Now imagine if they announce it for Wii just 2 months before the X360 version!!
But imagine how crazy it would be to play that game with a wiimote, I'm not sure I have that kind of energy.

I'm excited about this. We played the hell out of VF 1&2 on the Saturn, and I missed out on the PS2 ones though I heard they were great.

I agree I like Soul Calibur a lot more as a series, (though ever since they took Lizard Man out of it it hasn't been the same. Lizard Man FTW!) but as far as hand-to-hand fighting games go, this one's hard to top.

What, it's not360 exclusive? I thought Sega loves MS?

Smash_Brother · « **Reply #7 on:** December 21, 2006, 08:24:19 AM »

Ever since Sega fired all their programmers and replaced them with cattle, it's no surprise that all they produce is bullsh*t.

Sonic: SR is their LAST strike in my book. Unless it redeems the Sega name, I probably won't ever touch another Sega game.

Gamebasher · « **Reply #8 on:** December 21, 2006, 10:37:16 AM »

Yeah it seems that SEGA keep messing up their little beloved mascot. I WAS really hoping that THIS Sonic, on XBOX360, would have righted all the wrongs of the past 3D incarnations of same. But I was wrong. Don´t know what is happening to Sonic Team, but to me this sounds like a serious blow to their credibility!

As for Sony losing yet another exclusive is good news indeed. It´s like Dreamcast striking back at Sony from the grave, hopefully forecefully enough to give them some serious karma for their involvement in the death of the beloved little wondermachine from SEGA.

Nice. I love that idea.

Just waiting for the MGS4 and FFXIII Xbox360 announcements now. Kojima, your next

What credibility?

Luigi Dude · « **Reply #11 on:** December 21, 2006, 12:33:24 PM »

Every single member of Sonic Team should be thrown in jail for the brutal murder of Sonic. It's so sad what they did to him, first they broke his legs so he couldn't run anymore and then they took turns as they raped him over and over, while forcing us to watch the whole thing. And when that was over they pulled out a gun and shoot the poor hedgehog in cold blood.

And if that wasn't bad enough, those sick bastards returned to where they dumped the body several months later to once again take turns defiling Sonic's corpse.

Oh man, that mental image is so damn funny..

segagamer12 · « **Reply #13 on:** December 21, 2006, 01:00:42 PM »

Sonic Team doesnt exist anymore, they lost all ther developers a few years ago. What is now called SOnic Team is a joke.

But I still liek the new games they just arent as good as the old ones. Even RUSH had flaws.

IceCold · « **Reply #14 on:** December 21, 2006, 01:36:34 PM »

Sonic Rush was awesome. Too bad it wasn't developed by the Sonic Team, and rather by Dimps..

segagamer12 · « **Reply #15 on:** December 21, 2006, 01:59:13 PM »

I maent that even the best soinic game out there, wasnt saying ST made it duh, that even that game had flaws.

segagamer12 · « **Reply #16 on:** December 21, 2006, 02:00:11 PM »

and VF5 on 360 secured my buy, that is one game I really want and since I want a 360 anyways VF5 seals the deal.

Darc Requiem · « **Reply #17 on:** December 21, 2006, 02:23:50 PM »

Yeah AM2 is pretty much the only part of SEGA that still exists IMO. They have been the only part of SEGA that still churns out quality titles.

I'm glad SEGA decided to bring Virtua Fighter 5 to the Xbox 360. That's one less reason for me to consider getting a PlayStation 3.

Now, if Konami announces a 360 version of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of Patriots, then I really, really doubt I'll ever have to get a PS3.

MysticGohan · « **Reply #20 on:** December 22, 2006, 06:54:29 PM »

heh, funny you should mentioned that. in the latest issue of EGM's Rumor section apparently MGS is headed to 360, if the big wigs at Konami have anything to say. and it will.

GamerGeorge · « **Reply #21 on:** December 23, 2006, 05:03:06 PM »

Yeah, I heard that rumor, and I really hope that it comes true. Honestly, I don't know what Hideo Kojima is thinking; first he says the Xbox 360 can handle a game like Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, yet he, at least for now, denies the system the game. I mean, shouldn't you, if you're a developer, try to expand your audience as much as possible, rather than limit it to one particular platform?

KDR_11k · « **Reply #22 on:** December 24, 2006, 12:44:41 AM »

You're assuming Kojima is a rational individual. He sees himself as an auteur which means he thinks everyone will put up with his moodswings.

Smash_Brother · « **Reply #23 on:** December 27, 2006, 05:29:02 AM »

Yeah, Kojima has always been a bit of an emo b*tch...

NWR_pap64 · « **Reply #24 on:** December 27, 2006, 05:45:35 AM »

And don't even get me started on the Wii...

He BEGGED Nintendo and Hal to put Snake in SSB, he then bashed Nintendo and the Wii, and I wouldn't be surprised if he changed his tune after the Wii does well across the globe.
