Some months ago, Sega had announced that Virtua Fighter 5 will hit the Xbox 360. Now they have stated that the Xbox 360 version will have an online two-player versus mode via Xbox Live as well as both analogue-stick and D-pad control, as well as vibration support.
Details about the online multiplayer of the Xbox 360 version of Virtua Fighter 5:
- Now featuring an online two-player versus mode via Xbox Live, Virtua Fighter 5 will allow players to compete online. Players will also be able to choose one of the 17 characters or customize them in Quest mode. Customization features allow players to modify their characters by selecting from four base costumes and then attaching a wide range of unlockable and earnable items. Gamers will not only attain victory by defeating highly-skilled opponents, but also by competing for prizes and earning in-game money which allows them to buy many items at an in-game shop.
Gary Knight, European Marketing Director, SEGA Europe comments, “For a lot of very good reasons, Virtua Fighter 5 is regarded as the deepest and most respected fighting game available on next generation consoles. Bringing Virtua Fighter 5 to the Xbox 360 will not only capture an entirely new audience, but will allow gamers to show their Virtua Fighter skills online against friends and rivals”.
Virtua Fighter 5 will release for the Xbox 360 in Autumn 2007. It seems that Xbox 360 gamers will have a great time playing the game on Xbox Live.
