Nothing yet, considering it might not get released in Japan, its no wonder its not at TGS. The only territories that this has been confirmed to be released in is NA and EU.

also, fuck sega for not announcing the home port of vf5:r (yet)

Yeah, this. VF5 is probably the best game released this gen, so I don't get all the people talking about how awful Sega is these days.

VF5 isn't even the best Sega game this gen.

They also suck balls for us, since MS lied about 360 region freedom, so we can't import.

The region coding is UP TO THE DEVELOPERS. I think this is also one of the reason why all these shooters come out for 360 instead of the PS3 (aside from being easy to port). They'll release the games with Japanese-only region coding so overseas publishers would have more of an incentive to pick the game due to lack of import purchases cutting into their sales. As an example look at Tales of Vesperia, it's not a shooter but the English version works on both Japanese and US 360s, but is locked out for Europe because the game comes out next year there! Too bad a lot of import publishers don't give a shit about the games in the first place... but that doesn't stop the Japanese devs because all e-mails asking about a region free release always mentions them working on finding a publisher.

I can live with that answer. Even though Sumo kinda botched the port and made me play minigame RPG mode to make a character.

hells naw at Yakuza, though it's still an awesome series.

If MS could somehow guarantee that the 360 wouldn't red-ring, I'd do this.

But I'd rather just grab an American release. Or the MAME romset, whenever it's released. :icepick:

Right, which is a the lie I am talking about. Sony fulfilled its promise by not leaving it up to someone else they can blame later.
