Hi @ll
IGN.com dementiert die Veröffentlichung von VF4.
Da IGN Bekannt für Gerüchte News sind würde ich gerne wissen ob AvF oder auch Superfrog dazu nähere Infos haben

Virtua Fighter 4 Fighting its Way onto Xbox??
Sega of America gives us the official response on whether or not Virtua Fighter 4 is Xbox bound.
February 28, 2002 - You may have heard that several European magazines, like OXM UK, are reporting that Sega is bringing Virtua Fighter 4 to the Xbox. Well, we spoke to Sega of America and they gave us a real bummer of an official response. Bryce Baer, PR guru of SOA, said "Virtua Fighter 4 is a PlayStation2 exclusive. We will let you know if there is any additional news."
Well, don't cry for me Argentina. The truth is, VF 4 may still be Xbox bound. Often "exclusive" deals are for a specified time. So, it could be that Sega has agreed that VF 4 will only be on PS2 for six months, or some other time variant. Once that time's up, it can come out on another system. This happens a lot in the video game world, and I have a hard time believing VF 4 won't be on Xbox by the end of the year.
So why would some mags report it as a sure thing when SOA is denying it? Well, we all have friends in various companies, and sometimes they leak things. My guess would be that OXM UK got the truth, but that Sega's official response must be denial for the time being. And even if VF 4 remains exclusive, that doesn't mean another VF game can't come out on the Xbox.
We will hound Sega on this until they relent and tell us VF 4 is coming to the Box. We'll keep you up to date and as soon as we know anything new, you'll know.
