Virtual On:OT coming to Xbox Live!

Does anybody know if it'll be possible to download VOOT from the japanese marketplace, and then unlock it on an american GT?

 

You might be able to if you already have a Japanese account, however Sega has confirmed that VOOT will be released in the West.

 

As the subject states; Mircosoft has given Sega the green light and the port is now ready to be released. In a translation from the offical blog the director mentions that he's considering future Virtual On projects and would be interested in hearing the ideas of fans.

OT arrives on the US XBLA on the 29th of this month.

just kicking off a thread for VOOT players looking for online action. i'm finding it difficult finding non-japanese players at the moment.

add me if you like. gamertag: FreeScotland

 

Yeah, I'm finding it real hard to connect to anybody. I'm guessing 80% (maybe even 90%) of people playing now are from Japan.

Trying to relearn how to play using a twinstick method (I used to play this on default DC setup). Analogs for movement and buttons for turbos and triggers for weapons. Holding the controller in this fashion is so foreign to me. I really hate the X360 pad. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/mad.gif

 

Seems to me that the entire online lobby interface is the same as VF5's. Only difference is they made it so you can see other people hosting games while you are and it sorts them by connection.

Also i've been really suprised at how playable matches with Japs are, they come up as grey bars but hardly notice much lag.... Wish VF5 was like that /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif

 

I've only had one match with Japan where the lag was noticable, and even then I've seen far worse in other games.

My biggest gripe with the online is that there's no quick rematch option when you use the Xbox Live Party mode in Player Match (or at least I haven't seen one). You have to keep sending invites to the other players which gets a bit tedious. Hopefully they might sort that out.

 

I cant seem to get the hang of this game and therefore Im not very excited. Its nice that old games like this get published again in xbl though.

 

I've been playing this a great deal.

Hit me up! We'll play!

GT: SYSTEM Turn A

 

I like this game a lot, but I don't seem to *get* it in the slightest. No matter how much I play or how many advanced techniques I learn about, I get crushed non-stop. Invite me to play if you want to feel good about yourself!

 

I dunno if this has been posted already, but here is a good site for getting into VOOT: http://www.geocities.com/pigstacker/voot/st-content.htm

Thanks NeoKen for the link!

 

Thanks for putting the link here. Are the guides over at gamefaqs.com for the Dreamcast version worthwhile? I can't get to gamegaqs from work. (But I can access VFDC-- stange.)

 

Which VRs do you guys use?

I use mainly use Temjin, Specineff, Grys-Vok and sometimes Apharmd B. I may have to start using Dordray now that I've learnt that he has a throw.

Can anyone here use Bal-Bados properly? Setting up his limbs around the arena is fun (Pyramid Trap is awesome too) but I can't use him outside of practice mode.
