SoulGuitarist Report post Posted October 29, 2014 Wow. That's a shame. Cool but still a shame. In other news, They are apparently starting to pull out VOOT cabs out of Japanese arcades as of yesterday from a few tweets from VO players in Japan. Even the SEGA ran arcades are removing OMG and VOOT. Not sure about VO4 though. Certainly not a good thing either way. :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChexGuy Report post Posted October 29, 2014 sigh. they're supposedly doing a 20th anniversary event next year but we know nothing is going to happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soothesayer Report post Posted October 31, 2014 Really? Sounds cool if true but if something happens it'll be Japan only most likely. It's times like this I wish Sega stayed in the console market. On the subject of VF, Cypher/Viper were my favorite. Awesome design and Cypher turning into a plane was so cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SoulGuitarist Report post Posted January 4, 2015 It seems VOOT and OMG tournaments are becoming more common in Mikado. Think people are preparing for anniversary announcement hoping it's a new VO? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TAI-X Report post Posted January 5, 2015 PC version of Border Break seems more likely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SoulGuitarist Report post Posted January 7, 2015 Border Break wouldn't be too bad. It looked cool from the book that came with VO4. Is it like Virtual-On at least? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChexGuy Report post Posted January 7, 2015 Nah, it looks more like a standard third person shooter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TAI-X Report post Posted January 7, 2015 Border Break is more like Unreal Tournament with mecha. The arcade cabinet even uses a mouse. To my knowledge, it's also multiplayer-only, making it perfectly suited to becoming a freemium PC game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SoulGuitarist Report post Posted January 8, 2015 That's... kinda cool. I wouldn't mind giving it a shot if that's what will be released but I'll stay hopeful for VO or maybe they will allow you to use Temjin and other VRs in arcade version of Border Break... That would make me salty though. Lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TAI-X Report post Posted January 8, 2015 Temjin would be rather out of place, as the Border Break mecha are built to a different scale and are much less agile, with weaker and more conventional weaponry (hence the emphasis on teamwork). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SoulGuitarist Report post Posted February 19, 2015 Rumor of Virtual-On x Boarder Break on JP twitter! I hope it's a new Virtual-On game though. : Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TAI-X Report post Posted February 19, 2015 Rumor of Virtual-On x Boarder Break on JP twitter! Must be some dinky customization items. Sega recently closed all their websites for the VO series, and the rumors of a new game being revealed at JAEPO 2015 turned out to be hot air. At this point there's a good chance the series has been formally retired due to low sales and lack of publisher confidence, like Darkstalkers recently was. Sega has expressed doubt over their intentions to carry on development for anything other than smartphones and freemium PC platforms, anyway. If you ask me, Sammy is going to liquidate them within the next five years and put all their IPs up for auction, THQ-style. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChexGuy Report post Posted February 19, 2015 the website closures aren't that recent at all, actually. they were taken down around the same time as the PSO2 DDoS attacks back in May and they only ever put the One Man Rescue site back up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TAI-X Report post Posted February 19, 2015 I stand corrected; I only heard about them a short while ago. Maybe they were only taken down because of the DDoSing, and they decided it wasn't worth the effort to put them back up? Still, it cannot be denied that the future of the VO series looks bleak right now, especially given Sega's current financial situation. Even Sonic is in jeopardy.

SoulGuitarist Report post Posted March 28, 2015 VO Twitter hinting possible big announcement at a "major" event... I'm assuming E3 or TGS. "Get ready!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TAI-X Report post Posted March 28, 2015 VO Twitter hinting possible big announcement at a "major" event... I'm assuming E3 or TGS. "Get ready!" Most definitely TGS, since Sega America passed on the last two VO releases (Force 360 and VOOM 360/PS3). Still not willing to get my hopes up. At the absolute best, it'll probably be a PS4 port of VOOT. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SoulGuitarist Report post Posted March 28, 2015 I would be very happy with a PS4 port of VOOT and/or VO4. It's the only reason why I kinda miss having a Xbox. Lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NeoStrayCat Report post Posted March 28, 2015 I would be very happy with a PS4 port of VOOT and/or VO4. It's the only reason why I kinda miss having a Xbox. Lol Yeah, well, at least I still have OM/OT/Force on the 360, lol. X3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SoulGuitarist Report post Posted April 27, 2015 The VO4 360 Twitter stated something along the lines of "We are no longer sure about future plans but there is hope." Sounds like SEGA is going to pull a Capcom with the Vampire/Darkstalkers series. Get ready for VOOT HD folks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TAI-X Report post Posted April 27, 2015 Called it. Nothing more will happen for the series besides occasional cameos, and MAYBE another round of ports for PS4/One. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
