Virtua Fighter 5 is nearing release (in Japan at least) as further details about the port became apparent in the latest issue of Famitsu.
Perhaps the most notable revelation is the fact that the game can be installed on the PS3 HDD to bring loading times closer inline with an arcade fighter. Exactly how much of the 50GB blu-ray disc will be installed on the 20 or 60GB drive, however, remains to be seen.
Plus celebrate Sonic’s 30th anniversary with a trio of titles: Sonic Mania, Team Sonic Racing and Sonic Forces.
What is?
Witcher III, Slay the Spire, Virtua Fighter 5, and Sonic Mania are an excellent lineup of titles to add.
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
Great great game. Would need another playthrough (Gwent and horse racing) to get the platinum, plus I never bought/played the expansions.
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.
Although fighting games are entering a new Golden Age, there's a number of franchises that deserve to be brought back.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
Loved me some VF wish they would update the game i still remember my first Jeffery power bomb on VF 1.
The fact that a game will have to eat some gigabytes of your precious and limited hard disc space due to Blu-ray speed limitations isn´t even remotely an advatange.
This option is actually possible on a couple of the PS3 games already out, like Ridge Racer 7. It's just a nice option to speed up loading times, and when you start to play it less you can uninstall it to free up space. But even without installing it, the loading times aren't bad at all. A couple seconds longer than 360 titles maybe?
its an option and as far as i can see it is very usefull..
umm... 20GB non upgradeable is precious and limited *cough M$ cough*. 60GB is called room to spare. lol get it right. and even PS3's with a 20GB can easily upgrade being PS3 is universally compatible with 3rd party HDD's. Come on this is a plus stop makin it negative please. dammn haters.
He's been saying the same things over and over, so I'll try and keep this info clean and simple.
Dual-layer DVDs read at half the speed of single-layer DVDs.
2x Blu-ray (on average) reads faster than 12x DVD due this important detail.
If all 360 titles were single layer, the 360 would have the drive speed advantage. But they're not.
Hard Drive Installation is a great feature that significantly cuts down load times since consoles/PCs access their hard drives at exponentially higher rates than physical disc media. It'd be nice if Microsoft allowed this to happen on their console, but that's their choice to make.
