quote: So when does it get "perfect"? How many revisions does THAT take? I'm not making fun of VF. I'm dying for a Final Tuned home port...it just seems like whatever they're tweaking should have been tweaked already, since it's "final" tuned and I thought that was the point.
Personally, I'd prefer a team that takes 3 years to make a game they consider perfect to a team that releases a half finished game because it has 2003 in the title so you have to release it in 2003. ... If the VF team consider they need FT, then a version B, and betatest each version until they consider THIS was the game they wanted to make, then good for them as long as they have the funds to do so, and good for me as well. Since I decided I'll wait for the PS2 version of FT to try the series, I really like the fact they take all their time. I also like those Game FAQs kids who scream because a game is pushed one month back then scream because the game is not finished and should have had this and that.
AMAI!
It's impossible to forsee all the bullshit that gets found in a game during the course of its lifespan. Compare how the Japanese play Street Fighter Zero 3 now with when it first came out. Who would have imagined at the time of release that V-ism would be so powerful? Not only that, but almost everyone has infinite juggles also. Obviously not what the creators intended.
It's interesting though, because finding shit like that is what kept the game popular for so long. People had a lot of fun exploiting the game engine and abusing shit.
Sega is taking a different route. They are releasing patches to fix bugs and balance issues as they are found and it has been really successful for them. People are still playing because Sega is willing to address their complaints and fix certain issues. It's a solid investment to put time into learning VF in Japan. You know the game is going to be around forever and that there is going to be a lot of people playing. You can also count on the game to be updated so that it doesn't get out of control.
I just hope the same thing happens with Tekken 5. Namco tends to be lazy about balance patches. Tekken 4 was rediculous.
