[Ono]

Gamespot = hyperbole central.

 

[Yaka]

well the reviews more or less spot on

 

[Wij]

When's it out ?

 

[Yaka]

dunno

/me strokes his jap copy of VF4 and chipped ps2

 

[Wij]

bah

 

[old.rapture]

I read somewhere its been put back to mid may :/

Was meant to be first week of april iirc.

 

[Wij]

Have to make do with DOA 3 then for a while. :/

 

[Skyler]

Yet again Sega proove they are the daddies of console gaming by producing another stunner!

I read the gamespy review personally, and they had a nice little taunt of Tekken lovers... regarding the move repeating aspect of Tekken...

Either way, Tekken R TEH SUX!!1!!

Virtua Fighter r0x

 

[Wij]

I wouldn't say that. Tekken is good. I just tend to prefer VF when I'm really feeling hardcore

/edit: please note - i am not hardcore in fighting games. i just wish i was

 

[Skyler]

heh tekken was poor
i got bored of it within 20minutes of playing

however vf2 i was addicted to for weeks
and then fighters mega mix after was just sublime

i spent ages perfecting my moves and techniques on it i became pretty damn good at it

vf2 is soooo much better

 

[bodhi]

Tekken pour hommes.
VF pour girly shirt lifting tosspieces.

 

[Skyler]

lol bodhi

Tekken is poor

Virtua Fighter 0wns it

 

[Wij]

Bodhi always has to take a side on an issue. He would implode if he ever had to utter the words "hmm, both are quite good really."



*fluffle bods*

 

[bodhi]

Tekken is the don.

 

[Yaka]

both games play dif so its not really a fair comparison

 

[Skyler]

car tycoon plays different to rollercoaster tycoon.....


rollercoaster tycoon still 0wns it sideways


poor example
but

who cares
vf 0wns

That's true. Great game. Best one Namco made so far.

 

[Skyler]

Aye Soul Caliber is good, miles better than Tekken, as just as fun as the VF series, they are both good

But Tekken is still very much teh sux

 

[nath]

VF 2 was fun, and VF 3 was ok, but then I discovered tekken, which was great. tekken 3 was brill too. then tekken tag *unf*. I reserved judgement on VF4 because people said it was good and stuff. I played it this weekend.. omg never a bigger pile of over hyped pap has there been.

Everyone talks about how great the graphics are, and at least on the playstation, they're SHIT. fucking lamo graphics, personally I prefer tekken tag's gfx, even though they're 'technically' worse. VF4 suffers from terrible blockyness (i believe the tech term is aliasing) and plays really really boring.

God, I find it quite amazing that people can say the VF series is better than tekken, vf doesnt even use motion capturing and it shows :/

Roll on tekken 4.

[Skyler]

lol
Tekken is just so crap... and boring....

and graphics dont make games
now kindly die

 

[Wij]

You both take the argument too far. Tekken has it's good points. So does VF. Personally, from the brief gameplay I had on each of the latest installments, I think I will prefer VF but just cos someone else prefers Tekken don't make em a retard

 

[old.PCG79]

And those were Wij's wise words.

I would honestly prefer it if you died first.

I used to be a massive fighting game fan .. I've had em all....
The whole VF series, Tekken Tag, most of the SF series, Fighters Megamix, DOA2, Marvel vs Capcom 2, Marvel Super Heroes and the list goes on. But nowadays they don't really appeal to me (even though I'm *sorta* looking forward to playing VF4). In every single game it's 2 people standing looking at each other. Strong/Weak punch. Strong/Weak kick. 2 buttons together make a throw. They're all getting the same, and bore me to hell
Unless something really revolutionary pops up to reform the fighting game genre then I can't really see myself buying them again

 

[Yaka]

the beat em up genre has been standing still on the same spot fer some time same prolly goes fer the FPS genre too. But everything in VF4 just seems rite when playing dunno if im the only one feeling this way

 

[nath]

imho, I think there's a lot more to tekken 4 than that (I would say that though, being an avid follower of the series) but the fact is, you do need to give time to these games to get more depth out of them. You can't just sit down at them and get that unfortunately

Nafe

 

[Skyler]

I can see people enjoying playing Tekken, I mean I did once... for about 10minutes... It was also piss easy, and with 4 buttons on the PSX it felt bollocks....

Compared to VF2 with its 6 button config and better gameplay/more skillfull gameplay....

And what 0wned Tekken even more was Fighters Megamix.... I spent ages unlocking the characters and completing that game...
Was sooooo good

A huge array of characters with pretty much unique moves, huge amounts of moves per character, excellent controls system... it was just great....

I never managed to master BM's finishing combo tho.... it was like a total of 40 buttons.... To be pressed in a specific sequence rather fast

 

[wolfeeh]

heh

/me twats skyler with the game that 0wns them all... powerstone!
