Anyone else think that this reminds them of gotcha force?
Is anyone else totally psyched about this? It looks almost like a souped up version of Custom Robo Arena (DS)… without the Custom.
Another thing, though. I’m far, FAR more likely to grab this having seen 90 seconds of actual gameplay than having seen some cut-up, heavily edited, largely CG trailer like you get for most games. Do other people have thoughts on the matter? Do you guys prefer the blockbuster trailers that impress, or the simple gameplay that sells itself?
Man, it hurts just watching the person play Apharmd B so badly! I’m a B player, so I was just enjoying the vid of VOOT, but at the same time inwardly screaming “No! Go close combat you foo! Center trigger! Center trigger!”
A friend of mine is modding a pair of Saturn twinsticks for the 360, once he’s done, I’m getting the crossbox. See you guys online :)
All those knockdowns make this game look annoying
also, the video shown here sucks balls. Get some awesome replays thats continuously being uploaded onto the game's servers

stayed up til 2AM west coast time to DL it. Played for a few hours against japanese players. Funny thing was, with little over 5K total players, the number just kept going up and up everytime I switched pages!
whew...intense! I hearby urge any and all hardcore arcade players to GET THIS GAME

*this video* being the one in the article.
Ok first off, wassap to all you old skool VOOTers. You may remember this:
+ Watch video
Second, the game looks 10 times better, even on my SDTV, than this video does. It looks redone to me.
Wasn't there actual sequals to Ontario Tangram? I could've sworn that there were actual sequals. If my memory is correct, then there were sequels that let you play in 2 vs 2 (if enough cabinets).
Loved it in the arcades way back when. Not so impressed by the video. I think it's lazy of developers to take classic games and not boost the graphics and sound at the very least.
I'd rather see them create Virtual On 2.0, updated graphics, sound, gameplay, throw in a little single player campaign to round things out and make it a full fledged title. If they did it right, it would sell.

@Mit: "Was this not much of a competitive game?" Hand in your gamer card NOW!! No, it wasn't really played competitively just like SF4, KOF and Virtua Fighter. Pretty casual games the lot of them...

@Thassodar: That's no stick issue, the guy clearly has no idea what he's doing.

@FlameEye: And he is missing out on a world of ugly chicks. Ugly chicks need love too.

That player sucked something fierce. Gotta get close and melee that sucker!

I already downloaded this game and played it some. I got through most of the single player and did two online matches. I couldn't connect to any other games after those two for some reason.
At the same time, I developed a headache from all the spinning, and developed an ulcer from the intensity of the fights. Despite this, I want more. This game is like chocolate covered thorns. Definately worth the 1200 points.

@Neon: I liked the music. More happy, please!
I guess it's my fault for investing in a PS3...but really? Only on Live??? Come on! Guess I'm just gonna have to wait for some Marvel vs. Capcom....meh.

@LllusionX has a fanboy clone!!: no- but it was painful watching somebody who sucks at this game screwing everything up with an Apharmd and getting their ass handed to them for a minute and a half... :(
@dirtface: I assumed the age-verifier had something to do with the cowboy little person at the beginning.
@Neon: Yeah really, who the hell thought this music would be good for this game in the first place? XD
That was a less than spectacular video of VOOT. :(

@innuendo: That was a great match.
@Badmofo: Maybe use a /sarcasm tag next time.
@UltimatePancakeSensation: I liked the music too :/ Classic SEGA days.

@16bitman:
Its a ad about mid-
miniature cowboys.
@innuendo: That was pretty cool looking. I'd buy it if it were on PSN...
@got aroused by watching this. That must be why.

@Kyoya: But they gotta pay.

@dirtface: Damn...I am only 47 and I was terrified, I say TERRIFIED, that I wouldn't be old enough to view this clip....(then I'd just have to play it on my DC...nyahhhh ^_^).
@laser beams: Agreed. Whoever was playing... frankly just really sucked. ^^;;
