With its release for the PS3 only a short ways away, Virtua Fighter 5 is on the verge of upping the levels of next-generation fighting. While Dead or Alive 4 may have opened the initial doors for next-gen fighting games, it'll be Virtua Fighter 5 that defines the genre...possibly. Still, there's a new video of compiled battles that show off each of the fighter's skills.
Featuring 17 diverse fighters, each with their own style, combos and specials, plus an additional 2 new fighters, VF5 is the biggest Virtua Fighter game to date. Whether or not it will contain enough content and fighting depth to legitimately dethrone DOA 4 from the 360's defaulted king of next-gen fighters, is a whole other story. But it will be the first to set the bar for the Playstation 3.
More combos, more moves and new modes could either prove to establish itself as a veritable standalone fighter, or on the worse end of the stick, make the game a hold-me-off title until Tekken 6 for the PS3 arrives. Fighting to earn money in order to unlock new accessories and items for the characters seems pretty cool. But in the end, it's only the fighting that matters. So without further ado, check out the battle compilation video.
Plus celebrate Sonic’s 30th anniversary with a trio of titles: Sonic Mania, Team Sonic Racing and Sonic Forces.
Although fighting games are entering a new Golden Age, there's a number of franchises that deserve to be brought back.
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
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.
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.
