Re: VOOT 5.66 on XBLA this April, 1200 points

So I'm actually much better with controller (as my temjin proved, I used controller once during the meet). The controller can be very capable, to a point. Back when I was a newbie working on US VOOT as a game tester, when playing with Twin Sticks I was routinely beaten by the other tester who alway...

I wonder how many "newbies" will buy this game. It will be interesting to see what kind of community (if any) will form around this release. Will it mostly be the hard core players? Will there be many new players at all?

Re: VOOT 5.66 on XBLA this April, 1200 points

VERY nice post!! It's really helpful. If you think of it as 1600 points for $19.99, that's approximately $15 for VOOT 5.66. When you buy a new 360, you get a month of free access to Xbox Live Gold, which is required to play any online game that doesn't already have a subscription fee (e.g., Phantasy...

Re: VOOT 5.66 on XBLA this April, 1200 points

I performed an informal inventory. For just VOOT: Two copies of the Japanese DC release, two of the US DC release (one was free), extra link cable (one was free), one standard DC Twin Sticks (had two but sold one, and the one bought at the Japan launch was replaced free later), one complete VER.5.2 ...

Re: VOOT 5.66 on XBLA this April, 1200 points

BWS(cott) checking in here, after seeing off Scott R. this weekend. Consider me also pumped, and I'll finally have to scrape up the cash for a 360. Welcome to the forums! It seems this game will be pushing quite a few people to buy a 360 (especially in Japan, I imagine). :) Thankfully, the console ...

Hows it going, everyone, been a long time lurker, finally just joining lol. So, who was all at the recent gathering? Welcome to the forums. I'm from SoCal so I wasn't there. However I did get a call from Scott Robinson because he forgot how to do double napalm! I assume fun was had by all. It's fun...

Re: VOOT 5.66 on XBLA this April, 1200 points

It's hard to determine the improvements from the video because it's about half the resolution of the actual game (720p). Do you have a 360? I don't, but I'll probably be buying one because I'm pretty sure I can build working Twin Sticks. :D It's worse for Scott , he just sold his 360, so he'll be re...

Re: VOOT 5.66 on XBLA later this year, 1200 points

One more thing, are the various 3rd party 360 controllers any good (mainly performance-wise, since it may be easier to mod a 3rd party controller)? That I'm not too aware of, you'll have to go around other forums/sites and see their opinion on how each controller is. And yes, AFAIK, the buttons on ...

Re: VOOT 5.66 on XBLA later this year, 1200 points

That's actually the same link, but I didn't read into it too carefully. Also, all XBLA games are required to: 1. Be on both US/JP marketplaces at same time upon release 2. If it's a versus game, it must have netplay The question is more if the netcode itself is actually good or not. That's good new...

Re: VOOT 5.66 on XBLA later this year, 1200 points

I seriously may buy a 360 just for this, as long as both of the following conditions are met: 1) Twin Sticks are released, or it's possible to build some. 2) It has solid netplay. Here's my reasoning... 1) Virtual-On is pointless without Twin Sticks. 2) Virtual-On is pointless without competition, a...

Re: Welcome VO fans

The mid-boss in in VOOT is "Bradtos". For the replays on my site, you have to download them to a DC memory card, then use the VOOT replay feature to watch them.

Re: Welcome VO fans

EDIT: Another thought I just had would be to test out the Total Control 3 functionality when a regular Saturn controller is connected and the TC3 is set to the Twin Stick mode. Can you try this out? With this setup, does DC VOOT "see" the regular controller as a Twin Stick controller, and...

Re: Welcome VO fans

i actually had an interesting idea, many people are opposed to the next VO coming out on wii (if it would), but what if they made a base, just like the gun for wii, it would simply hold the wiimote. My main concern is having good controls. VOOT requires seriously precise input... high precision is ...

Re: Welcome VO fans

I think it would be difficult to do for the DC (I don't know about Saturn). I don't know what exactly it would entail, but because the DC Twin Stick electronics differ from those of a regular controller, it would require hacking the electronics, and not just soldering skills. The difficulty would pr...

Re: Welcome VO fans

The control is a key aspect of the game, so they would have to be good for me to buy it. If there was some funky setup using two wiimotes, I doubt I would bother with it. Also, I would be very disappointed if I couldn't mod my arcade sticks to work on whatever platform it was released on.

Re: Welcome VO fans

Thanks for the link. It would be interesting if SEGA released VOOT for a next-gen system. If it had online play, I might just have to buy the associated console.

hey guys, glad to find an at least partially active VO site, many of the other ones, such as Virtualon.net aren't active anymore. But hey, just ordered Total Control 3 and a pair of saturn twin sticks yesterday, after that it's going to be a 24-hour virtual-on-a-thon Sweet, sounds like a plan!! in ...
