A recent interview with the minds behind Virtua Fighter 5 reveals the game's development history, the reason behind its switch to multi-platform, and an interesting perspective on the present state of the fighting game industry.
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.
So how can we address this one?
"It's already been confirmed by numerous sources that the Xbox 360 version won't feature online play as of yet, and I'm surprised that the interviewers didn't address this. However, if you watch somewhere in the middle of the interview, one of the developers states that Xbox 360 users may be able to "view live matches". But how can you view live matches if there's no online play? I guess we'll just have to see."
Sounds a bit strange, able to "view live matches". Might the company have a surprise up its sleeve?
EDIT

You only say that because VF5 went to the 360 also.
When Tekken 6 is going to the other side also, you would make up another story.
NOTHING on TEKKEN. I cant wait for that game to come out. If its online, that would be just awesome, but then again, i sort of understand about the lag and timing. But PSN has HARDLY any lag, and we all know about the abhorrent XBL lag issues. Even if its not online, i cant wait for Tekken 6, I'll just get a bunch of my friends and have some crazy tekken matches.
Thanks for using my tip.
As for the game: Possible online play: Bring it on!
online play would make the reply value better
360 gamers got to be in Gaming Heaven when developers are jumping at the chance to bring their franchise games to the 360. Then you couple that with the fact that its relatively easy to develope for and has superior development tools this "Next Generation". 360 gamers have invested in a next gen console that developers love to develope for. When developers enjoy developing on a platform...they can put out their best work....and "Gamers" benefit from this.
In regards to the online play...Sega has always been an advocate for online gaming. They pioneered it with the Dreamcast and they continued on the original xbox....Though they haven't announced it...I would assume that VF will be online. They are probably play testing and making sure it will work to their standards....Dead or Alive did it flawlessly, and Virtua Tennis does as well along with many sports games. But, we will have to wait and see. I'm excited about it. I have played it on my ps3 and its a solid game. I have a feeling Sega will show some extra love to the 360 version. Its already been stated that it has better anti aliasing....Which will make it look smoother than the ps3 version. And with all the 1080p games thats been released this year for the 360....its a no brainer that it will be in full 1080p at 60 fps.
To the guy who said they tried Dead or Alive online and it had lag....well, I haven't expereinced any lag with that game. People have to understand that their experiences differ from others depending on their online connection. I have the highest connection possible through comcast cable. And I very rarely get any lag on games. And I'm always online. I have even played in games to where the guy on the other end was complaining about lag and from my side there was no lag at all. So everyones experience online will vary depending on your connection. Me....I don't have the lag issues that some may have on xbox live.
