 Virtua Fighter 5 Online for the Xbox 360 is great. No arguments there. But could it be better? Sega apparently thought so, and have released a new downloadable patch for the game. Better how, exactly? - Some characters will now be able to select costume-specific pants in alternate costumes, for example equipping Costume A pants in Costume B.
- Replays of online battles can now be saved.
- One additional item per character (appear as "Downloaded item" in Costume settings/Item edit dialog).
- Gamer pictures will now be shown in online battles.
- After winning the World Tournament Final, it's now more likely that rivals you have not defeated will be playing in arcades.
- When someone joins an online match, you can now see their connection quality.
- Various fixes for minor bugs, including a texture bug.
- Easier sorting of rankings.
- Rematches in Online VS. Player Matches now possible even when the players haven't added their opponent to their friend list
While we're not talking Earth-shattering improvements, it's nice to see Sega making subtle changes to the title so long after its release. Does anyone remember when the PlayStation 3 and arcade versions of Virtua Fighter 5 were technical marvels no one thought they'd seen on Microsoft's console?
