decent beat-em up for the ps3!

kewlkat0076488d ago

Installment of this series and again, I used to play lots of fighting games in my SNEs/PS days. These fighters are offering nothing new.
I wish you could just play fighters like on XBL without having to purchase the actualy game. Then you could just play arcade style whenever you wanted to.

Prettier graphics as always but then again its just a fighter. Me and my old buddies 10 deep don't get together anymore like we used to to play MK2 on the SNES or Tekken 2(which was the best) on PSone and Streefighter....ect Any fighter without Online play doesn't have much replay value so I won't buy it unless....

specialguest6488d ago

yeah i agree about the online play issue. i found out that Tekken for the PSP doesn't have online network vs. capabilities. that really sucks and that was the deciding factor for me on whether to buy it or not.

ApocalypseShadow6487d ago

the game.yeah it's not that much that is new.but virtua fighter has always been a great technical fighter.i see he takes shots at dead or alive.i like dead or alive,but it gets old because it's not deep.so itagaki puts lots of fluff in it.(costumes etc).i know because i played every version.(jap and us). not having online doesn't kill any game.start inviting your friends back over.have a cook out and play games.

Phytonadione6487d ago

Possibly the deepest fighting game ever. This game has never been the most graphically superior game (that award probably goes to the second most technical fighter, Soul Caliber), but has given me countless hours of fun. I can't wait for this game to come out.

kewlkat0076487d ago (Edited 6487d ago )

I guess that was my Pre-gf, pre-2 jobs, pre-40+ hour weeks, pre-working out days. I used to a have all the time in the world. Now I'm a casual gamer, I like Racers, Online fighters(beating the computer gets old), Sports(my beloved 2K series), Rpg's(FF7, castlevanis SOTN type games eventhough the genre hasn't changed much)) and RTS on the PC.

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!

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

BlackTar1871531d 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

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.

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?
