An article posted on arstechnica.com goes into an indepth discussion of why Sega's Latest Blockbuster hit Virtua Fighter 5 would suffer from online play.
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.
But it is not as big of an issue as some may want you to believe. I play DOA online all the time and have has 2 games with lag issues. VF5 needs to have online BIG TIME I will not buy it if dose not.
Street fighter II has online and you mite have had a problem last year but it only took them 2 months to fix it.
In the article they defend the lack of on line play by saying the game is reflex based, so if we took that approach with every game there would be no online play for anything.
no online play is LAME and pathetically lazy...good job sega.
Yah! fighting other people in fighting games is so stupid man those people that grew up playing fighters in arcades don't have a clue I wish Killer Instict never allowed you to fight other people and world wide cred would be even be more ridiculous than arcade cred.
I have no idea about the mechanics of any of this...seems to make sense...but I'm not sure if it's because it can't be done, but because it would take a lot of money and development time to do so...Doesn't every xbox game have to have online though...?
No wonder you only see it on DOA4 and thats it and also
Mortal Kombat from current generations the online games for
fighting games is just a useless feature that doesn't even
need one.
