Funny you mention that, because the 1024x1024 it uses has more pixels per image than 1280x720
I do think conditions are ripe for this game to do well, despite VF5 being a mega-bomba on 360.
- online play that is well-done on both consoles
- fighting games being much more hype then 5 years ago
- spaced nicely between the two big releases this year (SFvsTK, and TTT2)
- new schoolers won't be as intimidated as old schoolers are of the series
And the tourneys keep going in Japan

The 2012 Tokyo Bay Area Cup season starts off this weekend! The Bay Area Cups 3on3 tournaments are unique in that teams made at the beginning of the season remains the same at the end of the season. At the end of the season, there is a Climax Series to determine the best team overall.

Games on Demand titles often exceed $20.

Is this a XBLA release or a Games on Demand release?

I don't think so? IDK. Didn't Deathsmiles 2 go straight to GOG? Then I remember Arcana 3 was $30 on PSN. I don't know if there is a price ceiling PSN, or if Arcana was classified as something else.
It's all confusing, haha. Maybe it will just be a flat $15,
Possibly, if there is replay support.
Sega of Japan has launched the official console website
http://amcvt.sega.jp/vf5fs/
with additional screenshots
The way they will do button checks looks great

This will be up on virtuafighter.com soon (site is down) but here's the breakdown of the recently launched page:
Online Mode: up to 8 players, spectator mode included. Traditional options for room size, region, as well as to allow playable Dural
Customizable costumes: Because VF5FS is close to the maximum size allowed for DLC games, all items other than the defaults are not included in the game and are sold as DLC. Items will be sold separately and in packs.
Training: Options for throw escapes, evades, rising attacks/speed and struggle from guard breaks.
Replays: You can save offline AND online matches. Frame data, etc. will be included
License Mode: Tons of challenges as you fight the CPU. There's stuff like "all moves can be canceled", "half weight gravity" and "opponent health doubled", etc. Clear a challenge and get a special license.
Button configuration: You can set up the controller at the character select screen, and there's also a "button check" option too so you can check to make sure your buttons are properly configured and working!
Virtua Fighter: Giving hardcore fighting game fans what they want even if they ignore the fuck out of the series.

My dream is that there is an arcade or practice mode interrupt feature (like SF4) so I don't have to sit in online menus all day waiting then this shit would be PERFECT.

DLC items are dumb.
Still day 1, regardless.
Dammit, I am part of problem.

fucking bullshit. They are lucky that I'm starved for VF. The packs better be character specific with the contents listed before purchase.
What problem? The DLC is entirely cosmetic, and even if they're bullshitting about the reason it's not part of the base package (I tend to think that there are probably elements of both at play - they don't have the space to include them off the bat AND they're using DLC to offset the low price of the core game) they've otherwise included basically every important feature you could possibly want. In the scheme of things it's a fairly minor complaint.
I have no qualms with my intentions to grab this on day one, because it's an example of devs giving me exactly what I asked for - and not just any old dev, Sega. Sega. That's some Twilight Zone shit right there.
4 Evo should come to US PSN. But given it's Sega, I doubt it will.
I wouldn't mind seeing the training mode Take-Out Bandit masturbates to. I thought Blazblue's was okay, but could be better.
4 evo has a awesome training tutorial

I'll wait to see what the pricing is like before deciding if Sega are trying to pull a fast one or not.
Sega really is doing everything we wanted.
Some folks will complain about the DLC, but I'd pay $60 or even $100 for this game, so DLC isn't a problem for me.
Hell, if this game was put out on MVS Cart, I'd buy a Neo-Geo cab just for it.
After this game comes out, I'm done buying fighters. Won't be any more need.

So, hang on. When I play people online, if one of us, say the opponent, doesn't have the DLC pack, they won't be able to see my customised character on their end?
If they can, then the "download size" excuse is bullshit.
The thing that depresses me is actually that by buying them, they'll just be available for us to use. I don't want them to all be there - I want to earn my items. That was one of the most fun things about the previous home versions.
Sorry, I'll have to buy Aoi's. I'll just have to.

Nope, they specifically said on the site that if you do not have the DLC item, then you cannot see your opponent's item, so it's not an excuse. I totally believe their reasoning btw, since MS still has the file size limit on XBLA games that PSN does not.
FUCK YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Day WON!!!!

Is this going to have the awesome single player mode from the previous games where you travel to different arcades?

Too bad. I enjoyed unlocking the customization items.
Going by the DLC situation I'm going to assume it isn't.

Well damn. Between that and the DLC situation I'm probably going to wait on this one.

On a disc pls. At least for international markets.
Wasn't going to bother with customization anyway so don't care about the DLC, its nice to be able to pay a lower price for the main game though.
That button config sounds pretty sweet, they took it a step further with the button check, the dev team clearly has tournaments in mind.

It sounds like they're including the epic training mode, and the arcade mode was really overrated and a grind for items. The VF5 AI wasn't that good.
I could destroy all the AI's by spamming Jeff's 9K+G, or any circular since it tried to evade everything.
VF will be about playing folks of your skill level online and self-improvement. It's a game that gives you a ton of different ways to work on improvement, and rewards you fairly for doing so.
Wouldn't this mean you would have to download the DLC to be able to see peoples custom characters, much like costumes in Super Street Fighter 4 on PS3 and DLC characters in Mortal Kombat? That's a shame.

It's still not as many pixels as 1024x1024. They used some good framebuffer tricks.
