It's already exclusive to the PS3, so no reason to dream.

jarrod said:I'm just saying, the markets are different this time around. About the only solid reason for keeping VF5 off 360 is moneyhats, which I'll admit is rather somewhat likely even.
If your reasoning for VF5 staying exclusive is chiefly a VF4 comparison though... well then I'm not the only one pushing "weak speculation" around here.
nah the reasons I would think it's exclusive are
1. Japan's the biggest market for VF games, and there are no 360s to sell to there.
2. Sega seems intent on keeping VF an offline experience, and I can't imagine MS wanting a non Live fighting game.
3. Sega seems to be making a big push on the PS3 version, with the specialized joystick and all.
Also has any VF game not been console specific. Genny version of VF doesn't count

God I swear you put GAF on earth just to make me hurt myself.
VF being PS3 exclusive is really disappointing to me. Didn't matter last gen since I had all the systems, but I just don't plan on nabbing a PS3 anytime soon, which means I'm choosing to pass on my favorite fighting series (at least for a while). Still, I'm trying to keep a *little* hope that it makes its way to the 360 - as utterly doubtful as it is.
Where's Arne? Come on man... make it happen for us. VF5, SC etc... oh, and how about another missing genre while you're at it; some high quality car combat mayhem - Twisted/ (original) Destruction Derby/ Rush 2049 multiplayer/ Vigilate 8 style, not that shoddy Full Auto crap. I really miss the arena style vehicle games.

No it wasn't, go find an actual press release or even a comment from UBI where they ever said Assassins was an exclusive. You won't find one. All they ever said is "All we've announced it for at the moment is the PS3".

jarrod said:Actually, the only comments I can find concerning exclusivity pre-360 unveiling is Ubi confirming a PC port and reconfirming only a PS3 version before that. I haven't found any "for the moment" mentions though.
What i'm saying is that they'd never use the word exclusive to describe the PS3 version. Sega has used the word exclusive to describe VF5 for the PS3.

as people keep pointing out in other threads "exclusives" mean very little these days, given the technical level of lindbergh and the fact that the arcade game ships on a DVD make the comment seem odd...
Talking to the Norwegian game site, gamer.no, Product Manager of Ubisoft Nordic Harald Horsberg says that the game is announced exclusively for the PS3 after he had been in contact with the French HQ.
doesn't use the word but....

this really might be the first arcade perfect VF on a console. Sega's own home hardware always lacked the power to keep up with their arcade releases.
I'm tempted to get a PS3 at launch even though we won't see VF5 until March at the earliest.
I love VF so much.

I doubt Namco will release Tekken and Soul Calibur in the same year, especially when we don't even know when in 2007 we'll see Tekken. Also, MK8 won't be released until 2008 according to Boon from E3 interviews. Def Jam I don't count as a fighting game in the traditional sense.
Here's my take...
Xbox 360
2006 - Nothing
2007 - Nothing
2008 - Mortal Kombat 8, Soul Calibur 4
PS3
2006 - Nothing
2007 - Tekken 6, VF5
2008 - Mortal Kombat 8, Soul Calibur 4
Wii
2006 - Nothing
2007 - Smash Brawl, Budokai Tenkaichi 2, Mortal Kombat Armageddon, Bleach, Naruto
2008 - Mortal Kombat 8, Soul Calibur 4

God DAMN this thread is depressing. I'm actively scooping up all the best fighters I can from last gen just so I can get my fix.
C'mon. Somebody at MS has to be reading this. Make it happen, people. We want Street Fighter 4 for sure if its not a rumor. You'd better not let that one go PS3 exclusive. You hear me? They already have Tekken and Virtua Fighter. Make sure you have SOMETHING. And hardcore fighting game fans KNOW that DOA and Mortal Kombat aren't shit compared to the big guns. Land us a Guilty Gear or something. PLEASE. We're dying here.

I haven't heard much of anything concerning the SNK and Arc fighters, which is why I didn't include them. Although since Xbox got the only US port of GGX2#R I guess it's possible that 360 will get the upcoming GG arcade title. Still nothing concrete though.
I still want my KI Rare... even if it's just KI1 on XBLA. Just make sure the netcode isn't as bad as Hyper Fighting and give me ranked quarter matches please.

No, SNK *USA* seems to favor the Wii at the moment. In Japan, they release all their games for the Playstation 2.
If you look at fighting games only released in the States, I guess it does make the genere look depressing and close to being "dead," but that's not true, and there's a ton of import-only releases out there. If you want fighting games, you need to have a way to play Japanese PS2 games. It doesn't look like that's going to be changing either; future (2D) games will either stay on PS2 or move to the PS3.
Bleach is in 2006 and I doubt Wii gets SC4. It may get a SC game (likely an upgraded SC3 or an exclusive Ridger Racers style "best of") but not SC4 I'd wager.DrDogg said:
Wii seems to be a likely home for SNKP ports too.
So it'll basically be like the previous Xbox/PS2 dynamic. Wii gets SNKP USA funded ports with exclusive western online play plus all the titles that fail SCEA Product Approval as exclusives.Lyte Edge said:
