VF5 for North America: Feb 20th '07; Launch title for Euro PS3 launch
- Thread starter mckmas8808
- Start date
I feel the same, and hereby bet one euro to PS3 being delayed to fall'07.
Well they are US PS3s... It's not like they can just re-route them over here...
But it does tell me that they can produce PS3's in volume now. So why would they further-delay Europe?
Hey i don't know, i just said i have a bad feeling about not having a set date now, less than 2 months before launch...
Well, they didn't have ANY production issues and everything was silky smooth and then bang, European launch delayed. As much as I like Sony products and love my PS2 and PSP, the EU delays have really pissed me off and I've started to take their PR rumblings with a big ass grain of salt. But that's just me.. and my one euro bet!
I think they will launch in march, but how much consoles is still unknown.
I heard that the Wii has launched in Europe but if you want to order it now (or even in Mid december) you got a "come back in mid february". So I will not get my wii before next month.
SAme happened with the ps2 launch. Seems that the launch dates are more PR than anything.

Europe has one hell of a launch line-up. Not to mention the potential firmware upgrades, of which there are suppose to be quite a few.
If I'm not mistaken, the hardware itself is not region locked (in terms of PS3 games), but publishers can set regional restrictions at their own discretion on a per-title basis.
Games are not region locked.

This is true, but no publishers have made a region locked game to date. Movies on the other hand have their respected region codes.
I think its server side depending on what version game you have. IIRC gripshift the downloadable can be played across continents. Resistance on the other hand has NA servers and JP servers, where players are "segregated". But an employee from insomniac mentioned that its definately a server side issue and that they might fix that so you can play with people across the globe regardless of what ps3 and game version you have. So it seems its up to the developer/publisher rather than hardware of the ps3 itself.
The only thing really bad thing about regions besides online servers are the rating system for each location. For example Resistance in japan has the hero moments cut out due to the graphic nature of itl; the NA version still has this. But of course there are ways around that.

This is good to hear, and I hope this trend continues. There's no game at the moment I'd like to import, but I like having the option.
Yes, it's definitely up to the publisher. RR7, for example, is open to all with its online races. Makes the battles quite interesting when you have players from across the globe racing together. However, it also makes breaking into the top 10 for a time attack annoying as hell.
Where?
Apparently it lists 720p and 1080p on the back of the JP packaging -- if it lists it there (and isn't just a typo), it implies that it would infact be 1080p (since there seemingly isn't any usable scaler, so they can't list all the resolutions like they do on 360 boxes). Wouldn't be too surprising, who knows though.
I wouldn't say it's completely confirmed, as I've seen typos on boxes before, but it should be well within the realm of possibility.

Not officially confirmed as Bobbler said, but seeing it on the package is encouraging.

I believe 1080p was confirmed a long time ago for this game... as for the scaler part, the game itself could support a number of resolutions if the developers so chose to. As discussed in the scaling thread, if they have the memory available and an available SPE they could scale an 720p or even 480p image to 1080p. With the 720p issues some have had you would expect all future 720p games to also support 1080i/p for this reason. That said I think this is probably a 1080p game.
You sure that wasnt Virtua Tennis 3? I dont recall any confirmation of 1080p for VF5.
