Virtua Fighter 5 is coming to PlayStation 4

Eurogamer: Rejoice! The greatest fighting game ever made - and I'm typing this well out of earshot of Street Fighter obsessive Wes so I think I can just about get away with this - is coming to PlayStation 4 this year.

-_- it's not what you think it is.

JCW20052805d ago (Edited 2805d ago )

meh, clickbait asf. bundling it with that pos yakuza game that killed my beloved shenmue for so many years, ugh. hope it gets separate release.

NarooN2805d ago (Edited 2805d ago )

Shenmue is super over-rated lol. When it comes to gameplay and even story, those games are trash. Why would a young adult male in real life want to voluntarily play a video game where they have to have a menial boring-ass job of driving a forklift around, going back home, going to sleep, then doing it again the next in-game day? Come on lol. There's a reason those games didn't sell well when they first came out.

At least the Yakuza games are actually fun to play.

NarooN2804d ago

Yeah Yakuza is so bad that they keep making sequels even a decade later lol. Meanwhile Shenmue could never come close to recouping the insane development budget costs.

Mkai282805d ago

So this is just like with Shenmue, going to the arcades and playing old sega classics. In Shenmue, you could even pull out the old Saturn in game. I see you playing a dumb down version of VF 5. A quick arcade mode:(

"The greatest fighting game ever made"

That is a matter of opinion. So imho the two greatest fighting games ever made Tekken 5 and Soul Caliber 3.

NarooN2805d ago

TTT > T3

TTT had everybody from T3 and T2 except Gon and Dr. B, gave them updated movesets, new outfits, with an optional tag feature. Fantastic game.

Kal-V32805d ago

For me, its a 3 way tie between Tekken 3, VF5, and KoF13. Its like picking your favorite child...but it's really VF5. ;)

Tetsujin2804d ago

Tekken 3 is the first fighting game to pull me from Street Fighter (until I discovered SF Alpha 3), however Tag 1 Arcade is what made me realize Namco knew their fanbase over Capcom.

Gaming_Cousin2805d ago

@Inzo

Well that's just your opinion and I disagree

Movefasta19932805d ago

Soul Calibur 3 and mortal kombat 9

Malphite2805d ago

Yeah just to prove your point: Neither of those games would even be in my top 20 of fighting games. I'd argue that Tekken 5 and Soul Calibur 3 aren't even the best games in their respective franchises.

Inzo2805d ago

Well then, thats your opinion.

BLKxSEPTEMBER2805d ago

That's true it is a matter of Opinion but I don't think there is a better balanced fighter than VF5. It is pure skill based and no character is better than the next. It's my all time favorite fighter. It's to difficult for most Americans and not flashy enough which is why it never really caught on here in the states.

NarooN2804d ago

I agree man. VF is definitely the most balanced fighter out there. Tier lists are meaningless when it comes to VF. I really like that aspect. You can pick any character and be confident that you can win a match without worrying about meta-level bs.

Naughty_Cloud2805d ago

For me, that's probably Tekken Tag 1 and Street Fighter 3 Third Strike. I also really enjoyed KOF 96 and 98.

Tetsujin2804d ago

I'd debate your Street Fighter 3 3rd Strike for my Street Fighter Alpha 3. Both legendary Street Fighter games. Tekken Tag 1 I'd say the Arcade version.

Imalwaysright2804d ago (Edited 2804d ago )

VF5 is the best fighting game of all time.

people are still buying fighting games?

ocelot072805d ago

Am actually more shocked people actually buy games anymore. I thought we all just come here to argue about consoles and games. Not actually play them?

BlaqMagiq12804d ago

You must be very ignorant to even say that.

What is?

Witcher III, Slay the Spire, Virtua Fighter 5, and Sonic Mania are an excellent lineup of titles to add.

Smok911077d ago (Edited 1077d ago )

Lol thanks for your thoughts. Let’s now collectively disagree.

waderae1077d ago

How can you disagree with virtua fighter 5? You haven't played it. It's not out.

Hawk1986661077d ago

All the disagreeing are fools. You thinking adding a 6yrs old game thats timed, that's on sale nearly all the time for cheap is a great addition as the main game?? 2 of the games are previous PS+ games so a lot will already have them. And Virtua Fighter nearly everyone will already have that through plus! You're all Clueless

SegaSaturn6691077d ago

Those are great titles. Real treat.

Rocosaurus1077d ago

Love witcher 3, but that game is six years old.

Eidolon1077d ago

Great great game. Would need another playthrough (Gwent and horse racing) to get the platinum, plus I never bought/played the expansions.

monkey6021077d ago

Slay the Spire is an incredible game

Highrevz1077d ago

Agreed but I almost slept on it if I’m honest.

It’s like a traditional turn based RPG without the dramatic story. Monster Train is another good game if you need something similar to Slay the Spire.

monkey6021077d ago

I've heard that actually. Not played it yet though. Good shout!

darthv721524d ago

I'd love to see Sega bring back Eternal Champions.

BlackTar1871524d ago

Why is there no Star Gladiator or Battle Arena Toshinden?

Terry_B1523d ago

Because the other 10 mentioned series were better. Star Gladiator 2 was just the first part with more characters, Battle Arena Toshinden went really downhill after the 2nd game.

BlackTar1871523d ago (Edited 1523d ago )

o got it. Cause you said those games aren't as good... Got it.

since Battle 1&2 were pretty damn good and Star Gladiator 1 was very good those sound like perfect games to remake.

Also saying a fighting game is the same as it's predecessor with more characters sums up like 90% of all sequel fighting games.

Also BA3 was not a bad game and wasn't given a bad reception.

Skuletor1524d ago (Edited 1524d ago )

I think licensing is one of the major reasons Fight for NY hasn't been ported, since its original release. Def Jam had a poll on their Twitter a year or two ago asking if people would be interested in a new entry to the series. A surprise next gen release with AKI developing it would be cool

Silly gameAr1523d ago

Definitely yes to Weaponlord, Bloody Roar, Rival Schools, Power Stone, Bushido Blade, Darkstalkers, and the Def Jam games. I was really big into fighting games when I was younger. I would Like Primal Rage, B.A,T., and Eternal Champions to come back as well.

BlackTar1871523d ago

Primal Rage was good. There was also another game that was kinda like Weaponlord that I used to really like but I can't remember the name.

Ready to Rumble was cool back int he day as well

Ninver1523d ago

Rival schools and virtual fighters

What Happened To Virtua Fighter?

It’s been a while since we got a new Virtua Fighter game. What’s going with the series?

Ask Sega. All of Yu's games haven't gotten updates. And they aren't helping to bring Shenmue 3 to console and PC. Spent most of their time on Sonic and Yakuza. Like they forgot the man that got them started. He was the "Miyamoto of Sega." Too many hits under hits belt.

VF is one of the best if not the best, technical fighters around based on real fighting styles. No supers, no finishers,etc. I wish there wasn't any juggling. It was fun as a videogame mechanic but I would like full realism for a fighting game. It's like adding nos to Gran Turismo. Would be fun. Just doesn't fit the realism Kaz wants in his game of winning through skill and perseverance.

I'm hoping for a new Sega surge of games in and out of VR and more respect for Yu and his properties. It's just not the same Sega I grew up with though.

As a side thing, Sega could have even updated Last Bronx to a modern fighter like Namco did with Soul Blade to Soul Calibur.

But they've sat on that too.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1759d ago

I 100% agree with what you said about VF. As someone who use to play VF5 at a high level I want nothing more than VF6 however, I’m scared to see what would happen to VF in this day and age of super meters, rage bars and 100 hit combos.

SierraGuy1759d ago

Exactly...I love Tekken but I love VF a little bit more.

tulholdren1759d ago (Edited 1759d ago )

Loved me some VF wish they would update the game i still remember my first Jeffery power bomb on VF 1.

PhoenixUp1759d ago

What happened to a lot of Sega’s classic franchises?
