Virtual On: Marz info.

Oookay...so, nobody here has played the game, and it's already "fucked up"? People have been practically begging for a mission based VO, and now that it's here, it's a bad thing? And who knows, maybe the control scheme will be an improvement - the old one was hardly intuitive. Given the team's track record, I'm willing to wait and see what they do with this one.

I've heard from people that have played the game -- this very interviewer, in fact -- that the control setup is pretty horrid. One button for a jump cancel? It might not be that bad, but I kinda wish they would just adapt the DC VOOT setup into Force/Marz. Though, it's far from finished.

...And I never really wanted a mission-based VO. :p

I'm still looking foward to it. Chances are it'll be a fun single-player game, and as I said, it'll give me a glimpse of how Force plays.

What the hell is Sega doing?

I was afraid that Sega would change to become this way once they moved to third party status. This title shouldn't even be mentioned as part of the VO series. Same with JSRF. Dumbed down for the masses. Look at their major GCN Christmas title, a freaking emulator running 7 freaking games. Is this how they aim to be the #1 third party in the world.

Sorry, had to get that off my chest. I really don't like Sega much anymore. I used to buy all their games at launch, but other than VF4, I really haven't had the urge to go out and pick up any of their games, at all.

At this point, I really hope they do get bought out as an exclusive first- or second-party. I think this is what they need at this point. Get all their fragmented fanbase supporting one system, and developing for them, but without the massive losses incurred by selling hardware.

OK, I was expecting changes, but why a limited versus mode? Really, VO is one of my favorite two-player games, why not order a simple two-player mode and a regular VO two-player mode. Really, unless budget is a concern why pass off the entire series to first time players in a dumbed down form? At least offer freakin options to your players! *-neo

Some questions: Does this game allow the dpad and face buttons to act as the digital twin sticks? (left stick being represented as dpad, right stick being represented as the four face buttons)

Or does it use the analogue sticks as the the twin sticks?

How does it control with the analogue? Can you do all the moves properly or is it like trying to play a 2d fighter with an analogue stick? :D

What's actually been simplified in the control setup?

Don't be dissing on JSRF. The Concept of Love, What about the Future, and Sneakman kick ass! I don't care if it was "dumbed" down as some people like to say. I enjoyed that damn game!

I always hated the control of VO.
