What time does PSN usually update?  12pm PST?  I can't wait for it.

So, who's not playing on the LameStation 3?

You're just pissed because your console comes with shitty controllers, no blu-ray and the fact that you have to pay to utilize its online.

LameStation forever, yay! Oh yeah, i just read, i might be getting VF5FS for free since i have LameStation +, haha!

Xbox does have better servers... Just sayin'... I've tested this on numerous occasions. I have SG, HDR and T6 for both systems, and I fair better on 360. I'm only getting it for ps3 though because it "comes out earlier". To answer Proto's question, I'm still snagging it for my 360 though, as more players from VFDC are on there, and I like using my older madcatz round 2 stick vice my madcatz s stick, even though it's dual modded, but whatever...

It's only free until your sub ends. You don't own the license still.

Will you guys mind trying to do some chilean-northamerican matches to test connection?

DefensorVirtuoso is the name that the vf anime received here, which oddly enough translates to righteous defender

I'll help test the connection... Mine is pretty good, so it couldn't hurt to find out how good it is...

I'll end up with it on xbox eventually, I don't have a stick for xbox though.  I agree that the xbox live servers are better, but that's about the only thing I like better on the xbox though.

I own a Playstation 3. I like it, but its controller totally blows ass. Its analogs are flimsy and L2/R2/dpad are mushy as hell. The online is worse by the least 2-4 frames, lacks party chat, but you know what? Guess that doesn't matter, right? Way to show off that PSFanboy spirit! >_> (The Blu-ray was a nice touch btw. XD)

PS+ is a rental system, I would know by personal experience. :P

And on top of that. That was a joke son.

Anyways, back to reality. Who's gonna be maining who? I think I'll stick with Kage and second Jean Kujo because he looks rad as hell to play as.

[KarnF91]

It's been a long time since I've played VF, and when I did it wasn't very serious.  So I don't know who I'll be using as my main.  I agree with the controller Proto, it isn't as sturdy as the PS1 or PS2 and I hate it.  I've never understood why people hate the Xbox 360 for fighting games, I've never had problems with it.

Is out, search for virtua fighter

[Homies Over Shotos]

Played this game online.  I have a decent connection of around 30-40mbps down and 4 up.  I sensed a quarter of a second lag on some of the inputs.  People just seem to button mash to victory too and whoever can press the most buttons win.  The lag killed my

[desmond_kof]

This game is the shit. I played online and all my matches felt great. There was a little hangup once but that was it. I'm going to play more tomorrow and see how things are compared to today.

[The Fluke]

I was just doing a bit of friendly trolling.

I've allways figured xbox 360 ought to be better online since it is a premium feature so to say.

I think the ps3 pad is so so, as you say, the analogs feel imprecise, lower shoulder buttons mushy and as a bonus i'll add that me and my friends call the dpad "the grater" (cheese grater) though in our native language, since it is the number one thumb killer. Otherwise, i think it is a good standard controller.

I do love my blu-ray though. I have a friend who has a dedicated blu-ray player that couldn't play his game of thrones set, he lent it to me, i popped it in and voila, ps3 gets it done.


I'll be trying Aoi and Goh first hand as they are characters i liked in regular vf5 though i've been thinking of trying Jacky and/or Brad aswell. It all depends on how the characters feel now.

[KarnF91]

Most of the matches I played online were pretty decent for me.  I can barely play KoF XIII online, but I'm able to play some VF which is nice.  I'm sure the online is better on the Xbox version, I'll have to give it a try soon.

Oh silly ignorance.  Xbox having better servers?  NO Xbox games have severs.  Their entire infastructure is based on p2p.  The PS3 actually does use servers for games though.

Also the reason for "better" gaming on 360 is due to almost everyone being wired there while everyone on the PS3 is on shitty lagtastic packet dropping wireless.
