Kikizo talks to SEGA AM2's Tohru Murayama, Hitoshi Iizawa & Nobuyuki Minato for the most extensive discussion on the online-enabled Xbox 360 version of VF5.
Kikizo: The online play works better than we expected based on what we have played. We have looked into the technical difficulties with this - latency and server response - and are interested in how you have achieved a high standard.
Murayama: First, you should know that you have experienced online play in the game under the best of the best circumstances! But it is a realistic online circumstance, that you will be able to experience, if you buy the Xbox 360 version when it is released. If you play with friends living close to you for example in your city, you will get an experience like this. As to how to achieve this good online circumstance, it is because of AM's effort, but you know we just can't really share the details too much.
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.
yawn. where is my Soul Calibur IV?
Soul Calibur IV is Namco not Sega.
I am having fun playing tekken DR online. Thats a better game anyways.
Yeah. Who needs Virtua Fighter when Tekken is the much superior product. Sega knew they had no fighting game competition on 360 so they decided to add special features. Tekken outsold virtua fighter 6:1 on the PS2 anyways.
it goes deeper than just a PATCH!! sega would have to set up a server farm, probably of PS3 like warhawk, then release a patch that would allow users to log into those servers. now unless sony GIVES sega all the Ps3's needed to run the servers, I dont think there gonna front that bill on their on, considering the low sales rate of the game anyway!!
