Producer promises the series will never go online
Fighting games seem a natural fit for online play, but one series will never surrender--at least if producer Hiroshi Kataoka has his way. The source of all things Virtua Fighter puts it pretty bluntly in the April issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly: "If we ever wanted to do an online fighting game, it would have to be called something besides Virtua Fighter," Kataoka says. In the magazine's interview, Kataoka explains how the team tested the game online during its development, simulating lag and timing issues that would accompany any online experience. Says Kataoka: "It wound up feeling like a completely different game!"
