Images of Virtua Fighter 5

Sega released these four images of Virtua Fighter 5, to be released next month on Playstation 3 (next week in the US). The Xbox 360 version is still many months away, so these screenshots are probably from the PS3 version.

TheMART6304d ago

Can anybody tell me how a game with these mediocore screenshots from the PS3 can get a mark like 9.5? Is it because a Japanese mag has reviewed it and love Playstation to death?

Even DOA3 looks better then this on the original XBOX... My god. I hope the 360 version will be better looking then this. Even the environments, everything. I was expecting a whole lot more when I heard the first review mark

joemutt6303d ago

This months EGM (the one with people throwing tomatoes at the PS3) gave it some 9.5's and one guy gave it a 10.

It must be the gameplay because the graphics arent mindblowing or anything.

But we all know the PS3 got the arcade version, and the 360 gets the better version which was optimized for the 360, the online play should be killer too.

you used to just post xbox 360 news.

do you now post ps3 news just so you can guarentee getting the first comment in?

...good grief...

You guys really have no life do you. Your guys are the reason, why xbox gamers have such a badname. You guys are the reason why xboxLive is known to be for white trash users, with no class whatsoever. Please, do us all a favor, and stop gaming. Just because you guys have no life outside of 360, doesnt mean you have to act like idiots. All you have to do is admit that your both losers, and cant get any girls in real life, therefore are filled with low self-esteem. Work on it guys, you have that in you, i know you do.

Who are you to tell them what to do?

dragunrising6303d ago

Sometimes TheMart might be flaming a little too much and overzealous but usually he has good info in regards to the 360. I personally (strongly) dislike Sony and don't mind hearing Sony bashing. Critiquing every game negatively for the PS3 is another thing though. All said, most people are going to react favorably to the games on either system. If the 360 has better graphics, then it validates my decision to purchase one. Other than the fact I dislike Sony, they have no games which truly stand out in graphics or online game play. TheMart might be beating the drum a little too hard talking about the merits of one version over another but he is honest for the most part. Word of advice to all posters: lets bring a little more positivity to the table. Everyone has preconceived views of what looks better or not. Seeing is believing for most people.

It must be said that Virtua Figher 4 has never been known for its graphics. If the 360 version looks better, thats good. The gameplay is where the pudding is.

TheMART6303d ago

Listen Jin, you can feel bad about the PS3, but don't bash others for it. It's the truth about these pics. Go watch them and say they are great please!

Here are some reactions on the site with these screenshots. They're not mine, remember!!! Oh yeah my girl watches TV, I play games, all in the same room that's when you have multiple TV's dude... We're not all locked up in a basement on ourselves, like Sony fanboys are

I was thinking the same thing. These games should look real by now considering the limited amount of on-screen action. I am guessing the animation should be top notch considering the graphics arent.

Okay, I know that graphics don't make the game. It's become a cliche' for us, but these shots are not impressive. There is no complex open world to explore and there are only two players at the most on screen at once. So the graphics become a big factor when were talking about a fighting game. To add insult to injury, it doesn't even have online multiplayer versus. This was Sega's chance to outdo the aged Dead or Alive4, but they blew it. It still looks like the enviroments aren't interactive and confined to a box with ringouts.

More impressive than Tekken 6. Sega must be pleased with the shots Namco released.

While I agree the skin shaders are a bit wonky, hard core VF fans are into the fighting system foremost above any graphical shortcomings.

The game just looks terrible in every screen shot released. In motion though, it just looks sick. This is a game that really doesn't transfer well to screens. Only screens I've seen that look decent are ones taken of someone playing the game on a tv.

He says he has a girl and doesn't sit in a basement, for fuk sake did anyone read that last post of his in this thread, he's basically taking quotes from articles from like a month ago, this guy is a big loser with no life and he's a virgin well that explains it, i hear the red light district is good in Amsterdamm, you should go there Marty, oh wait ur so boring i'm guessing they ask for like 4oo euroes, you could buy a PS3 with that, oh decisions, decisions haha loser.

MissAubrey6302d ago (Edited 6302d ago )

I was playing Ninja Gaiden Black last night on my 360 upscaled to 720 and I sh*t you not that old Xbox game looks better then this. What's reeeeeaaaally goin on?

ASTAROTH6303d ago

Whats up with all the negative guys?? this game looks nextgen enough. If it was shown for the 360 every fanatic must claim it looks amazing and will looks worse on PS3. I like the way the MART said: " these screenshots are problebly from the PS3 version". Yeah the one with a 9.5 rating on EGM!! Not good enough...FANATICS...

Xtrm L1481L1TY6303d ago (Edited 6303d ago )

The one with a 9.0 average and going down fast? It's just one of those sub-par games that come and go... Nothing special! A rental for me. ;-)

FeralPhoenix6303d ago (Edited 6303d ago )

No, No, No -those pics are crap, I can personaly tell you xbox 1 had better graphics than that. I think these are some old early build pics, because some of the early reviews like EGM said the game looked great on PS3....so I'm sure these are old pic's plus its from an xbox site, so I'm skeptical....hell even the site didn't sound sure if they were actually PS3 VF5 pics, for all we know they could be early pics of the upcoming 360 release. ????

What is?

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

Smok911085d ago (Edited 1085d ago )

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

waderae1085d ago

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

Hawk1986661085d 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

SegaSaturn6691085d ago

Those are great titles. Real treat.

Rocosaurus1085d ago

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

Eidolon1085d ago

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

monkey6021085d ago

Slay the Spire is an incredible game

Highrevz1085d 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.

monkey6021085d ago

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

10 Fighting Games That Deserve To Be Resurrected Next-Gen

Although fighting games are entering a new Golden Age, there's a number of franchises that deserve to be brought back.

darthv721532d ago

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

BlackTar1871532d ago

Why is there no Star Gladiator or Battle Arena Toshinden?

Terry_B1531d 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.

BlackTar1871531d ago (Edited 1531d 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.

Skuletor1531d ago (Edited 1531d 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 gameAr1531d 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.

BlackTar1871531d 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

Ninver1531d ago

Rival schools and virtual fighters

What Happened To Virtua Fighter?

ApocalypseShadow1768d ago (Edited 1768d ago )

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.
https://youtu.be/Wl8qIQKMsb...
But they've sat on that too.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1767d 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.

SierraGuy1767d ago

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

tulholdren1767d ago (Edited 1767d ago )

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

PhoenixUp1767d ago

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