From 1up: "At a special press conference in Tokyo today, Sega let attendees play Virtua Fighter 5 on the PS3 for the very first time. I'll sum it up in two words: arcade perfect. While no VF freak like Milky or Shane, I wouldn't be able to comment on every intricacy (missing or present) in the version I played, but for all intents and purposes, this looks and plays just like the arcade game."
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.
So hard to wait for this bad boy
Man I cant fricken wait looks so good.
Looks good, but not as good as DOA3.
.....
Yeah, I meant 3...
lol!! still your opinon though but i'll respect it... what i dont respect is you being a fanboi... because the doa4 doesn't look that much more improved over 3.. the characters look the same... it's like team ninja spent more time with the bgs than anything. the game is good but it plays just like doa3 on xbox and doa2 on ps2... it's a wonder why Sega Didn't port this to the 360... simply because the linhberg Arcades are stronger than the 360 coustom multicore processor and the linhberg arcades use a coustom NVidia GPU so thats why this game is a ps3 title and in that regard anyway VF is regarded by many as the great 3d fighter out there, with tekken and Soul calibur and then DOA following behind it,. so be baised and exemplify why you are a fanboi/kid what ever... a personal taste in slow games i guess guess
Itagaki stopped making games for the PS2 simply because he couldn't compete with Tekken and VF, which are both superior. Just look at the sales, the numbers do not lie.
Jealously is a powerful motivation tool.
