No plans for Virtua Fighter 5 online play on PS3 |
Ó
Sometimes simple explanations work best. That much we reaffirmed when we heard Sega's reason why Virtua Fighter 5 for the Sony PlayStation 3 has no online play, while its yet to be released Microsoft Xbox 360 counterpart has the juicy feature.Kotaku was able to talk to Sega's Tohru Murayama and Noriyuki Shimoda and they explained that time constraints had the PS3 version trading off online play for an early launch.
"Well, the PlayStation 3 version was developed first so the online was missed, but because the 360 version came later we could add that feature," says Shimoda.
Murayama was then queried on whether a future download could add the feature to the PS3 version, but the idea was quickly negated. "If we wanted to, we'd think about it, but the point with the PlayStation 3 version was to release the game as close to the console's release as possible. So we have no plans for that," concludes the Japanese game maker.

The thought process was "gimp the PS3 version and lie to fans about it so that we can get money earlier"?
