Virtua Fighter 5 For Xbox?
Director of Sega’s AM2 studio Makoto Osaki has been speaking to the US press about Sega’s future plans. Referring to the company’s plans to release Virtua Fighter Cyber Generation, Osaki explained that the game was aimed at a younger gamer - but more intriguingly he also revealed that Virtua Fighter 5 is in the works. Not much in the way of details was forthcoming, though Osaki confirmed the title would follow in the tradition of previous Virtua Fighter beat-’em-ups with one-on-one play. Speaking about the possibilities of bringing Outrun 2 to Xbox, he explained it would be relatively easy to port the title to Microsoft’s console. However, Sega is reluctant to produce a home version of the title, partly because of the rental market - due to the brevity of Outrun 2, Sega fears that the majority of players would rent rather than buy the game.Source: http://www.computerandvideogames.com/
