EGM has awarded Virtua Fighter 5 on the PS3 the prestigious honour of game of the month, scoring an insanely high overall Mark of 9.5. Looks like Crackdown has some strong competition on its hands. Interestingly, this is the HIGHEST score EGM has awarded over the past six months.
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.
That game must be laced with crack or something, EGM is a tough magazine. I like the magazine because its fair and actually cuts into the meat and potatos of a game. Gears of War, while a great game for its genre is nothing revolutionary. Its basically Killswitch with updated graphics, the story doesn't really evolve nor does the characters have any real depth to them. Based on that I can't believe that some magazines scored it 10s and 9s for just looks alone. I'm not saying that its not fun, but ratings should reflect more than just graphics. Cliffy B did revitalize the genre with his creation, I just like a little more meat with my potatos.
I like the virtua Fighter series, real die hard fight fans will eat you alive. I have to say this is the most indepth fighting game ever made and it only uses three buttons. Button mashers have no chance against a seasoned pro and timing is everything. I can't wait to check this out hopefully it will be up for download on the PSN.
A game on the PS3 actually broke 89% on gamerankings.com score (Resistance). It's about time! Can't wait to play it on 360. :P

However, it's an average based on only 2 reviews. This game could easily drop dramatically as more review come in. Or it could increase.
its that good folks!!!!!!! I mean its just a stupid fighting game.....but who knows,though highly doubtable
I intend picking up ths game at some point(I love Beat'em'ups).
HOLY SHIZ-NIT SON.. Your mad smart yo. Like for reals .(Just busting your ballz)lol. Anyways lets see system launch Nov. 2006. Date of "Finally"- Feb. 2007
Xbox360
System Launch Nov. 2005
Finally(as you put it) Came around March 2006
It would appear that PS3 is right on target if not slightly ahead of the game. More ooooo's and aaaaaaa's to come. Stay tuned kiddies.
Im a little shocked though. I wasnt even lookin out for this game. Bring on the Tekken 6 baby. But this will be a nice AAA fighter to hold me down and by the time they port it I should be rocking Tekken 6 by then. Timing is everything. lol
