Virtual On:OT coming to Xbox Live!

I own Marz but never played it. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif

 

I had marz and it was fun, not quite as deep as the old school VO though. The duel sticks worked great though. It felt close to what it was like using duel joysticks like the arcade.

 

Damn....can anybody give a breakdown between the 2 different VOs?
I never heard of VO for the pc...anybody provide a link?

 

yeah it was released on PC. they hype needle almost got to the "ehn" point which was surprising.

here's good news: it's an M2 game and therefore nicely emulated by Nebula! It is also a verified LAN game, having native network support that has been adapted for use in both linked and internet play like Daytona.

 

Hang on, back up. Netplay Daytona? I'm so there.

Or better yet, Sega release it on XBLA.

 

Sweet...is it still for sale? Can you get sticks and make em work for pc?

 

honestly you'd be better off getting the emulator and then rigging up the twin sticks for it.

A) you can find the emulator and roms, really hard to find the PC version (if I still have my copy you're welcome to it)
B) the emulator is more accurate
C) it's online, son. I can't remember but I don't think the PC version is.

 

Cool...time to find the emulator...check pm or im or whatever

 

VO Marz was a home port of "VO Force" on the arcade, a much slower team battle orientated version of VOOT with a few new characters and some tweaks to the existing cast. What made Marz stand out was its story mode and the addition of character variants that had different stats or even weapons that the player could choose from.

I never played it myself but friends who were into VO at the time said that they preferred VOOT by far. I personally didn't like the look of the designs (Cypher>Myzer).

Does anyone know for sure if we're getting a port of the arcade version or rather the DC version with a v5.66 upgrade? I've seen some screenshots and they don't look like arcade quality to me (the lighting isn't as detailed imo).

Regardless, this is a nice surprise! And considering how much money I use to spend in the arcade 1200 Microsoft points is a steal.

If VOOT can get a port then perhaps there's hope for other old gems like Last Bronx...

 

A lot of people feel like that about Marz.

 

Maybe both versions will be available for play

 

Sounds rough man.

 

I'd guess it's a lot rougher this way round...

I never played anything but VOOM...so I can't comment on anything that came subsequent. VOOM was on the DC, right?

 

YAAFI.

VO-OM was on the Saturn. VO-OT was on the DC.

 

Well, to be honest....since VO series has more or less been DOA...I am looking forward to playing any incarnation.

 

It begins, modded DC Twin Sticks up for auction(In Japan....for now)Oh yeah, I'm hyped.
