Virtua Fighter 4 PlayStation 2 update - Create and fight virtual selves!
But no online play... Full details inside
Sega AM-2 team has revealed some intriguing new details of the PlayStation 2 version of Virtua Fighter 4, Sega’s smash hit Naomi 2 arcade fighter. Sega has employed the AI technologies developed in the porting of previous games in the series to PC, that enable the computer to learn your fighting style.
The game engine will then be able to mimic you as a fighter. The more you play, the more it learns until, according to Sega, it will become as accurate a representation of your fighting style as possible. You will then be able to have fights against yourself, which is, we are sure you’ll agree, very, very cool indeed.
Even better than this, will be the ability to fight virtual representations of your friends. You can take data from other people’s game saves and copy it to your own memory card. You then simply load that specific profile and fight your friends, even when they aren’t there. It is even possible to pit your own virtual Virtua Fighter fighter, against your friends’ character profiles, saving you the trouble of actually having to play the game.
Sega also stated that there will be no online support for the title, other than the VFNet forum that it provides. Net play support in the PS2 version of VF4 has been long rumoured, with talk of real-time broadband fighting gathering momentum on a daily basis.
VF4 is due out for PlayStation 2 early next year in Europe and is in the arcades now.
