Lol.

Why Why Why would they put Border Break on PS3 and 360. And not PC.

MAKES NO SENSE SEGA.

shintoki · Sep 13, 2011

I didn't know what Border Break was prior... now, *Drools*. I want.

LongDongJunon · Sep 13, 2011

oooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

Shingin · Sep 13, 2011

Border break is better fit for a pc game but i'll take whatever I can get of it.

This should give you an idea of what border break is http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/1283947443

I don't know why Border Break isn't already on XBLA.

Uh, because no one in Japan cares about PC?

sosage · Sep 13, 2011

VF4 training mode = getting new comers/casuals up to speed quickly. Every fighting game since should have ctrl-c'd that idea.

ThatCrazyGuy · Sep 13, 2011

You guys think this will be 1600 points?

Daigoro · Sep 13, 2011

i dont. im thinking $30/2400 pts.

also, ill drop that amount on this game without blinking.

i dont see the issue here.

Coxy · Sep 13, 2011

oh sweet mother of...BORDER BREAK? YESSSSSSS That's something I've been wantiong for ages and was pretty much the one announcement I wanted from sega

Development resources probably. The margins are probably pretty thin on these ports anyway, especially if they're aiming for digital distribution only. It's likely they simply cannot afford to allocate resources for development and QA to make PC versions. If Sega was better run, it might be a different matter.

Brobzoid · Sep 13, 2011

BORDER BREAK!?

SQUEEZE THAT LOVE JUICE OUT OF MY CHICKEN BUTT RECTANGLE MAN!

ThatCrazyGuy · Sep 13, 2011

That sucks jpn wanted a disc release and westside said NO. I want my disc! Hehe.

Crysis is the highest xbla game now at 20? Is their a ceiling for xbla prices? Will it do to games on demand? } know arcana hearts 3 was $30 over on psn. Ill pay whatever though.

Cool to hear about borderbreak. Hope this new arcade board next year brings some other older ip's back as well.

alstein · Sep 13, 2011

I suspect we'll see a $20 pricepoint, and lots of costume DLC.

I'm ok with that. If FS has an online scene, I won't need any other fighter (though I may keep up with KOF and SC if those games are great)

I'm holding out for some Daytona action, too. I hope this is legit.

HOLY FUCK, BORDER BREAK?

Please don't be bullshit!

What! This is potentially fantastic news! (followed by total disappointment as modern Sega messes it up)

It would probably have driven the price up to $29.99 to have a retail disc release. Unfortunately, we are not in the PS2 days anymore.

Nirolak · Sep 13, 2011

Split bump.

Pie and Beans · Sep 13, 2011

Border Break is literally pretty perfect for the Vita. as is Shining Force Cross Raid really.

I don't really put too much stock into TSSZ. It gets consistently trolled due to its owner believing in any crumbs thrown his way...

I bought it!

For $9 new on 360 a year after release. Total bomba.

TreIII · Sep 13, 2011

New arcade hardware already? Isn't the RingEdge powerful enough as it is? :lol

But anyway, Border Break would certainly be nice to play. Though I'm not exactly thrilled at the notion that much may hinge on VF. Especially if they're just going to dangle VF6 in front of us fairly soon, if this is all true.

Ah, well.

RPGamer92 · Sep 13, 2011

At least Sega finally remembered that Virtua Fighter existed lol

Shig · Sep 13, 2011

Border Break Might Come To XBLA/PSN

ShirAhava · Sep 13, 2011

I don't even like VF but buying VF5 just so I can get Border Break!

Tain · Sep 13, 2011

if this is true

NEW SEGA ARCADE HARDWARE

fuck yes.

VIRTUA FIGHTER 6 ON THAT HARDWARE

jesus christ, sega, you are saving modern videogames for me like this

BORDER BREAK AT HOME IN SOME FORM

goddamn sega why do people hate you i don't get it

people

why do you hate sega i don't get it

fuckin' jesus christ

the purpose behind RingEdge was to cut high costs, compared to Lindbergh it's not THAT powerful.

ultron87 · Sep 13, 2011

I would do 10x what I would do for a Klondike bar for Border Break on consoles.

Loomer · Sep 13, 2011

Can't wait to see some VF6 action, kinda makes Final Showdown pointless though, at least for me. But VF6's not gonna come out very soon.

I'm betting one of their foolish answers would be 'piracy'.

In any case, I was set on buying VF5S from the moment it was announced (hell, I was waiting on it) as well as GH, so no doubt I'd buy Border Break.

Don't waste the good will, Sega.

Sega really sucks at that shit.

I really, really, really hope the Border Break rumor is real; from what I've read in /m/, the game is genuinely awesome.

Kuran · Sep 13, 2011

BORDER BREAK!

Fersis · Sep 13, 2011

Ok whats the deal with the cute little blue pinguin? Is it from a game or something?

I think it's from some anime.

distantmantra · Sep 13, 2011

I played Border Break in Tokyo last year, it was fantastic. I wonder how they'd deal with the lack of a touch screen for PS3/360, though?
