There have been a lot of rumors since Virtua Fighter 5 was announced for the Xbox 360. Would there be Xbox Live multiplayer or wouldn't there be? SEGA, at first, said: 'No, it wont', but today SEGA confirmed that the Xbox 360 version of Virtua Fighter 5 will indeed be featuring online multiplayer duels over Xbox Live.
And that's not all. The Xbox 360 version will feature the latest update in playmechanics from the Arcade version. Also, the Quest Mode has been expanded, with more CPU-opponents to fight with as well as more objects and articles to customize your character with. That's not all because the DOJO-mode will also be receiving an update on the Xbox 360 version. New functions have been added, like: rankings, training settings, throw- and defensive training as well as a feature to adjust the opponents health and position.
Probably the biggest improvement will be the addition of online multiplayer duels through Xbox Live. Players can compete 1-on-1 with any player from around the world. Players can choose from a total of 17 different characters, which are all individually customizable. Each character has four different costumes but more costumes can be unlocked by playing the Quest Mode. Release: Autumn 2007.
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.
SONY: Hey wat gives
SEGA: This is payback.
SONY: Payback for what?
SEGA: You destroyed or baby "the dreamcast" you made us go bankrupt. With your dammn PS2... You even made Pete M. leave us.
SONY: Sorry.
SEGA: Sorry doesnt cut it. Your Sonic sucked and now you have the inferior virtua fighter.
SONY: Ohhh Well. Their is always Tekken 6.
SEGA: NOOOOOOOOO
NAMCO: MUAHAHAHAHA
SONY: = )
SCORE!!! YEAH!!! ime definately picking this one up thank you Sega and welcome to 2007!
SEGA you idiots, you....... this really sucks no no no it wasn't on ps3 so it won't be done on the 360,,,,now this....you screwed me sega you really did....if mgs4 goes to 360 that's it I am trading in my ps3 for a 360 (now that ms have that 3yr warranty for redlight problem)
and Xbox 360 STILL gets the better version.
...and what do you know, ALL them extra features, and blu-ray was not needed. To bad lemmings, if you want the best version, you got to buy it again. Same goes for your NERF'ed version of GTA4.
Laughing At Lemmings.
