Sega have released some character artwork for their recently announced arcade title, Virtua Fighter 5
From Siliconera: "The latest Famitsu issue has special coverage to mark the release of Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown. It included an interview with chief producer Seiji Aoki from Sega. The interview revealed that Sega still has yet to make any plans for Virtua Fighter 6 as of Ultimate Showdown‘s release. "
Disappointing but I would think that the re-release of VF5 will play a large roll in if VF6 happens or not. Fighting games have went from "evergreen" coin eaters to e-sports competitions and I could see that making new titles difficult for the bean counters to justify. Still the current trends in fighters have me less then thrilled with the future of the genre. Way too much DLC, over priced season passes, $100 "day 1 editions" its all just become a bit ridiculous imo.
People want it, fighting games been releasing left and right these days. VF was like the only one that was a no show.
Well if they don't plan on using rollback netcode they might as well not bother. So far my VF matches have gone from "playable" to lag fests. I was really rooting for this game but they dropped the ball with the netcode.
Owners of Yakuza 6 can use this unlocker in order to play Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown without booting Yakuza 6.
Even though the Virtua Fighter brand has been a dependable one for Sega over the past few years, it doesn’t appear to be on the company’s agenda for the future -- at least, for the time being.
I am never too sure what to think about fighting games. They have always been tinged with a bad light for me, especially after some of the atrocious wrestling games I have played. It'll be interesting to see what this is like
Yessssssssss! Finally an updated version of VF5 so i can lay the smackdown on some jabroni online!
AFTER 3 YEARS OF SOLID FASTING! MY PRAYERS HAVE NOW BEEN ANSWERED! I AM STILL IN SHOCK AND CANNOT BELIEVE IT! YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW LONG I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS GAME!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOHOOOO!
