Talk:Virtua Fighter 5

message: Question on something:
"The reason Virtua Fighter 5 will appear exclusively on the Playstation 3 is because Microsoft requires all Xbox 360 games to use Xbox Live in a way that allows online competition to occur."
Is there a source on this? I find it hard to believe since there are several Xbox 360 games that don't have Online play.

thread_title: Why edit???

message: This current version sounds like it was lifted verbatim out of Official PlaystationTM Magazine, it really needs cleaned so that it doesn't appear to have been written by a hopeless PS3 fanboy.

thread_title:  NPOV? 

message: I categorized this as a Playstation 3-only game, since, as is the definition of the category, it's to be "released on the PlayStation 3 without being ported to or from other video game consoles."
Update: Now that Sega has confirmed Virtua Fighter 5 will be released for the Xbox 360, this just goes to further show that Sony has a terrible reputation for telling lies in the videogame industry. Reasons like this are why USA Today, the New York Times, and TIME magazine have called the Playstation 3 the Biggest Disappointment of the year. Mike mgoblue 20:45, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, that's certainly a question of the definion of "PS3 only". To me it would mean that I can play this game only on the PS3 and nowhere else. I doubt anyone would call a game PS3-only when there would also be a PC version available, for example. --Conti|✉ 14:38, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Is there a Wikipedia precedent for this? Does being available in arcades disqualify a game from being considered single-platform? -VJ 02:42, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: There isn't any precedent that I know of. Maybe we should move this discussion to a more fitting place, as this doesn't only concern Virtua Fighter 5, but a number of categories and how they should be used. What about moving this discussion to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Computer and video games? --Conti|✉ 03:12, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  PS3-only release 

message: Once again, we see that the words "at this point in time" mean that a game previously announced only for the Playstation 3 "has 'now' been announced" for release on the Xbox 360. There is no definition of what "late summer" means, so I think it is inapproprate to list August as the release date for the Xbox 360 version. A more generic term such as "summer" is what should be listed in the release date box. Mike mgoblue 20:41, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Virtua Fighter 5 is now scheduled to be released for the Xbox 360

message: The new characters section can surely be updated now that the game is released. It seems the information there is based off of the end of a trailer, and is indicated in the text this way also. Chopper Dave 00:12, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Where is the proof that the Xbox 360 version features the bugs stated in the gameplay section of this article? I own the 360 version, know the game very well, and have never encountered any of these ridiculous bugs. Anyone care to elaborate? Leonard McCoy (talk) 16:39, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Xbox 360 Bugs ? 

message: Are they trying to make the "game" more like Dead or Alive, if you know what I mean ;) 
Ive heard this mentioned from a few people in various gaming sites, blogs, etc do you think we should add something about this "change" into the article if enought evidence can be collected? --Elven6 (talk) 01:35, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Unless you can find a verifiable source (news article, interview, etc.) that speaks on this, no.  I don't understand how the game is anything like DOA in the first place, though. King Zeal (talk) 02:27, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

text: Yeah, well definitely need those sources.  Otherwise, I would say VF isn't any more "DOA-ish" than Soul Calibur.  After all, have you seen Ivy or Sophitia's Soulcalibur IV costumes?  It's just a reflection of the times.  In the new High Def world, developers can render boobs in ways that they never could before. King Zeal (talk) 02:25, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

text: That's beside the point, and this is isn't the right place to discuss that.  The Talk page is meant to discuss the article's content and ways to improve it.  As I said, you'll need those sources before this conversation can go any further. King Zeal (talk) 16:47, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Is it just me or? 

message: For some reason, the European Game authority (PEGI) says that there are drugs in this game. Any info on why that is?
I notice a bottle icon next to Shun's portrait in videos of the game. Is there some special mechanic related to alcohol for this character, besides his fighting style? --Jules.LT (talk) 08:34, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

message: Is this the last Virtua Fighter installment? I'm not sure if the press acknowledges it, but logic highly suggests it is. 104.172.119.172 (talk) 18:13, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: In TV series articles, we can add the end date if the show does not air a new episode within one year. Looking for a source indicating the show's cancellation is just another option. If we would determine the status of a TV series based on time, why not video game franchises? 104.172.112.209 (talk) 22:04, 6 July 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: WP:WHATABOUTX? Because those are two different kind of media. Just because a latest entry in a particular video game series was years or even decades ago doesn't make it the final or last entry. If we're saying something will not happen that's reverse WP:CRYSTAL. For a similar discussion I had years ago, see Talk:Bubsy#Bubsy 3D. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 19:30, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Another reason why Virtua Fighter 5 can be called the last game in its series is that there has not been any news regarding a sixth installment. If it is so-called WP:CRYSTAL to call this game the last installment, would you say the same thing about the one-year rule about TV articles? The one-year rule is something widely agreed upon by users. If the latest game in a franchise does not have a successor for years or decades, and there has not been any news about a successor either, shouldn't that imply that the franchise's developers have implicitly quit? Yes, there are a handful of franchises (like Bubsy which you added here) that released game after such a period, but those are very exceptional cases. 104.172.112.209 (talk) 00:03, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Again, WP:WHATABOUTX. We're not talking about a TV series, this is a video game. Wikipedia has different guidelines on television and video games. That a latest release in a franchise was a long time ago does not mean that will be the last. It's your own conclusion that because there is no news it means the latest one will be the last one somehow. 2020's Doom Eternal is the latest entry in the Doom series; 2013's BioShock Infinite and Grand Theft Auto V are the latest entries  for their respective series; 2008's Turok in the Turok franchise; 2003's Star Wars Rogue Squadron III: Rebel Strike is the latest in the Rogue Squadron series. And so on. We don't say it's the last game, because there's no way for us to know that. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 06:59, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: In the case of Doom Eternal, because that game was released only 2 years ago, there's a considerable chance for a sequel. As for BioShock Infinite, there is information about a sequel. Anyway, are you saying that a video game series lasts forever even if it stops releasing games? 104.172.112.209 (talk) 13:55, 9 September 2022 (UTC)

text: No, I'm saying you shouldn't add "final" or "last" because that would be your own personal conclusion. I WP:CHALLENGE you to find a source that says so. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 14:38, 9 September 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: To say that this game will have sequel is the one that needs sourcing because people usually don't expect sequels unless they get news about it. To say that this game is the final one only requires an absence of a sequel over a long period of time (Ten years should be quite long enough.) as well as no news regarding the series' future. And besides, developers don't always announce if their done with a game series. 104.172.112.209 (talk) 19:07, 10 September 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: "x amount of time passed equals no further release" or "developer or publisher hasn't released any news regarding a possible sequel of a particular franchise so that means that the latest one is the last one" is your own personal thoughts on the matter. As I've shown, that's not how Wikipedia works. Don't add your own interpretation. In this article or any other. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 20:19, 10 September 2022 (UTC)
