Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown/Ultimate Showdown/eSports - The Bear and Badger

ChopperByrne

So this is now out and I couldn't see a thread so here's one.

It's free on PSN if you have Playstation Plus and is only a 2GB download so won't eat up too much space on your HDD. It's also on XBL for 1200 MSP I think.

This is supposed to be the best version of VF5 and is considered as good as VF4:Evo.

I'll be starting from scratch with Lion because I've not played a VF game since 3:TB on Dreamcast.

I have a VF game but I forget which one it is. Was 5 released a few years ago?

Sasukekun

The vanilla ed is free on PS Plus, the complete edition still has to be said for.
What's the difference? Is it just all DLC included?

5 was released a few years ago yeah, this is the latest (last) version of 5.

Just all the costume DLC. Nothing important to the game.

Kow

Is the older version of 5 compatible with this new one for online mp stuff?

Was going to ask that. I'll just type this, instead.

pabloamigo

I have this. I haven't played a VF since VF1. Plumped for Jean and his luxury hair.

@kow - think this is standalone for the mp. Quite a few changes to the engine, moves, etc... from 5 I'm lead to believe.

ChopperByrne

Yeah it's not compatible, but it is dirt cheap and comes with a very good training mode.

Too hardcore for me. Tried VF5, couldn't do anything on it.

The standard retail version or the complete version with all the extra costumes?

The costumes are about 2GB.

Curtis

Just the 1200 point version. All the costumes are seperate on 360.

If there's no other VF thread, how about this one for Ultimate Showdown?

I grabbed it yesterday after it dropped by 65% and it's just as good as I remember, although I'm a lot worse at it.

Best bit is that it lets you select between all the VF soundtracks for arcade mode.

No fighting game track can ever stack up to the brilliance of VF5 original Statues (Akira theme).

ChopperByrne

Edited the thread title.

I'm up for VF games, despite being terrible at it.

I know Kneecap is too.

Netcode is odd. It's still using delay based, but routes through Google relay servers, so if you live near one, the connections are generally good. Probably the best delay based netcode we've ever had in a fighting game. If you don't live near one however, it'll be awful.

I do, so I generally get good connections. Also, I never have trouble finding games whenever I try, so matchmaking works.

kneecap

Yep I'm up for games.

A lobby some evening would be sick.

Dogfingers

I would love to play but I take it this is PS only?

ChopperByrne

Yeah, only got released on PSN.

Howdy, Stranger!
