Sega's longstanding fighting series finally arrives on the PS3. It can be described in one word: Amazing.
The Virtua Fighter series, in its more than decade-long history, has always been respected for its contribution to the fighting game genre. After all, the original Virtua Fighter was the first 3D fighting game to be released and essentially paved the way, blocky-pixels and all, for other 3D fighters like Tekken, Dead or Alive, and Soul Calibur. Now, after plenty of anticipation, the Virtua Fighter franchise is finally making its next-gen debut on Sony's slick black box and it's never looked, or played, better.
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.

But they've sat on that too.
Loved me some VF wish they would update the game i still remember my first Jeffery power bomb on VF 1.
.
they are sold out over here makes me wonder if i should pre-order motorstorm hmmmm tommorow morning i will i want my copy :D
Kick ass! Beautiful presentation and graphics and timings are arcade perfect as far as I can tell. ( I played arcade version allot last summer in Tokyo). The graphics are so crisp and the colours are really full and nice. How come Sega (am2) can get games looking this good, but we are seeing washed out 'blurry' images on multi platform games such as cod2 and Nba street? Well anyway, if you like fighting games and have a ps3, (or a 360 for that matter as its coming out soon on that too) I highly recommend this game. Stay with it, learn the techniques, and you will really be addicted.
This game Should be online
I hope sony are Thinking about it.
