When VF5 first came out as a PlayStation 3 exclusive, to say 360 fans were gutted would be as much of an understatement as saying that the sun is a bit hot. But now, with the 360 version in hand and ready to hit shelves, the tables have turned and gamers should have no reservations about waving this new version in the faces of all those PS3 owners that have been rubbing this glorious fighting game in their face for so long. With newly added online play and all the updates from the Version C arcade machine, this is by far the definitive version of the world's best beat-'em-up and after a period of some uncertainty, Sega is now very much back on top.
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.
Awesome. Enjoyed the demo. Can't wait to play my friends online !
this game will own with online play , i cant wait
Tekken is next
Meh. Virtua Fighter 5 just doesn't have the same appeal as SC IV. I prefer fantastical settings for my fighters or fireballs ala Street Fighter and MK.
everyone knows that this game was built and truly belongs on playstation 3. hope you 360 owners like sloppy seconds
