Virtua Fighter 5 demo up on Xbox Live
Everyones favourite PS3 fighting game, Virtua Fighter 5, is now available for download from the Xbox Live Marketplace.
From reading the description, this 674.39Mb demo, is said to contain many of the of the full game’s features, including online play… Though Kogen informs me that the demo is quite short, with only 4 characters and has no online play. Oh well, looks like we’ll have to wait for the full version, before we can have a massive Sega Nerds fight-off.
I’m yet to play this particular demo, but I did have a chance to play on one at the Tokyo Game Show, VF5 Live Arena, (check header image), using the official arcade stick.
Hopefully if the TGS version is anything to go by, the game will be looking very sexy - at least compared to the Ver3 arcade - which I have played on. I’m yet to play the PS3 version, (so I can’t compare to that) but according to Sega, the Xbox version is said to have some graphical improvements, plus the extra features.
No doubt, at least one of us on the site will play the demo over the next day or two, and give you a full opinion of it. For now, here are a few more images, of the TGS cabinet, for you to enjoy.

The demo only contains 4 characters, a very easy arcade mode with 3 battles and a 2p vs. It’s not very exciting and only lasts about 10 minutes. No online play.

hmm no online eh? I was just reading the details on the download - it insinuates it’s online… But I must be mistaken.
Shall edit post, thanks Kogen.

It is a lot better than the PS£ version which the fighters looked like they were struggling to move. :P
On this version the characters do move a lot faster and I noticed that the graphics looked a lot more polished, such as sweat on their faces by the end of a fight!
It only has 4 players but one of them is Akira which is just one of my favorites. :D
Can’t wait for this to get released on the 26th October and fingers crossed a post strike will not delay its arrival to me.
