Very. In fact, if it doesn't come out for the Box, I'll probably buy a PS2.

Most people who care about arcade perfect conversions would buy the xbox to play this imo. Although Yu did a great job with what he had on the ps2 and the time given, it just wasn't powerful enough.(despite people's hopes of a perfect conversion. Mainly those who hadn't bothered to research the naomi 2 hardware in comparison to the ps2 limits)
And why would it be so hard to believe sega releasing this for the xbox? They are a third party software company now with no loyalties (apart from thier 1 year exlcusivity thing). If they want to make money they'd promote this later down the track so as not to interfere with arcade and ps2 vf games. It happened with Tecmo's doa2 (exclusive to dc for a while until they changed the name to skirt around it) and doa2:hardcore (the ps2 game) and it's going to happen with this. If I were sega I'd probably do the same thing. The demand is certainly there and it would make perfect sense to capitilise on both platforms. I'm a believer that third parties like sega and stuff should just be given thier freedom to work on whatever they want instead of caterering to the lowest common denominator only.
Hey now... Let's not jump the guns, shall we? :DQuote:

From what I can gather from both Famitsu & Game Watch reports, VF4 Evolution was shown at Sega's own private show (Sega Private Show 2002 Spring), not as the part of MS conference (Xbox Conference 2002 Summer)...
However, both shows were reported back-to-back on both Japanese sites, so I can see how someone could mistake as being the same show.
Xbox certainly is a good candiate for VF4 Evo port, but we should wait until Sega themselves officially announce it...
Keep dreaming EThugg. While your positive thinking is commendable, the X-Box is dying a quick death in Japan. Stores are already getting in used X-Box systems and it's quickly becoming a distant third in the console wars over in Japan. However, I won't hate on someone who is so heavily believes that it will some how do well over in Jap town.
With all that, I will say that the possibilities of VF4 Evolution being on the X-Box is very high, but I personally would rather not see it on a dying system. Heh. Gamecube or PS2 please.
I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to see it released on Xbox, no matter how vehemently Sega has denied it. This wouldn't be the first time we'd see Sega swear something and then do the exact opposite. Their corporate word is as hollow as the plot of a Tom Green film.
I'm not sure that's correct, especially since several other sites are reporting it being shown at the Xbox conference.Quote:

Okay, can we quit the games now? VF4 was announced on Sega's new XBOX FREAKIN' BASED ARCADE HARDWARE!!. That was before E3. Magazines of all sorts and several websites have been rumouring it for months now. It's definitely coming. Sorry Dori, that's less directed at you than the haters...Quote:

personally i think some thing like this will hurt sales more than it would help them [/quote]Quote:

This last week's Japanese sales figures. They're all over the web. Check Magic Box or any Xbox forum, where they're all crowing about this, I'm sure.Quote:
Thugg, box outsold gc in japan? source please for that one.
It wasn't huge - the numbers were like GC: 3K, XB: 6K, PS2: 50K.
Anyway, I'm pumped about this news, since I can't wait for a perfect home version. My list of reasons to buy a PS2 is down to like 5...
I do believe we just had a thread on that. "Xbox losing money blah blah" or some similar title.Quote:

The new fighters do look very Tekken, I just hope they don't play like them. I'd hate to lose such a great game to such crap, but at least I have the regular VF4 if that's the case. A boxer could be fun, though I'd really prefer someone looking more along the lines of Dudley's style. He was cool.
It was Neoalpha with the thread.
About two hours ago yesterday.
Hmm... interesting, I wouldn't mind seeing VF4 on X-Box, with the new announcement of Spikeout on the machine, I'll finally have an excuse to import the console, especially since I would like to get Shikigami and Tekki.
Geez, what to import next..?? :)
I'm sorry, but I tend to trust the reports from established VG news sites like Famitsu, Gamespot Japan, Game Watch, Dengeki Online, and certain Japanese company called Sega's official website than some western fansite reports. :pQuote:

Famitsu
Game Watch
Dengeki Online
GameSpot Japan
Sega of Japan
All of the sites above mention that VF4 Evolution was shown at Sega's PRIVATE SHOWING that showcased their new arcade games.
Just setting the records straight... We don't want another Ikaruga debacle now, do we? :sweat:
