Plus celebrate Sonic’s 30th anniversary with a trio of titles: Sonic Mania, Team Sonic Racing and Sonic Forces.
What is?
Witcher III, Slay the Spire, Virtua Fighter 5, and Sonic Mania are an excellent lineup of titles to add.
All the disagreeing are fools. You thinking adding a 6yrs old game thats timed, that's on sale nearly all the time for cheap is a great addition as the main game?? 2 of the games are previous PS+ games so a lot will already have them. And Virtua Fighter nearly everyone will already have that through plus! You're all Clueless
Great great game. Would need another playthrough (Gwent and horse racing) to get the platinum, plus I never bought/played the expansions.
Agreed but I almost slept on it if I’m honest.
It’s like a traditional turn based RPG without the dramatic story. Monster Train is another good game if you need something similar to Slay the Spire.
Although fighting games are entering a new Golden Age, there's a number of franchises that deserve to be brought back.
Because the other 10 mentioned series were better. Star Gladiator 2 was just the first part with more characters, Battle Arena Toshinden went really downhill after the 2nd game.
o got it. Cause you said those games aren't as good... Got it.
since Battle 1&2 were pretty damn good and Star Gladiator 1 was very good those sound like perfect games to remake.
Also saying a fighting game is the same as it's predecessor with more characters sums up like 90% of all sequel fighting games.
Also BA3 was not a bad game and wasn't given a bad reception.
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.
Primal Rage was good. There was also another game that was kinda like Weaponlord that I used to really like but I can't remember the name.
Ready to Rumble was cool back int he day 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.
I 100% agree with what you said about VF. As someone who use to play VF5 at a high level I want nothing more than VF6 however, I’m scared to see what would happen to VF in this day and age of super meters, rage bars and 100 hit combos.
Loved me some VF wish they would update the game i still remember my first Jeffery power bomb on VF 1.
nicccee....
So much for all the posts saying VF5 was'nt selling in Japan.
after nearly 4 months (4) of being released, this is the Ps3's first No.1 selling game, that's pretty POOR :[
wii sports has been out ages, and has sold just 3,000(also just past the 1 million mark) copies less!
Dead or Alive 4 sold 80,000 copies (we all know the japanese dont favour the 360 much) in its first week :]
so, when you put things into perspective, it's NOTHING to shout about really :]
MEH
I posted one of those articles just to show how everything "pro-Sony" does not get a chance to flourish. Its attacked and bashed right out the gate. No one ever gives anything on sony anytime. I guess thats what happens when your on top.
NINTENDO'S on top in a BIG way!
360 > U.S
Europe is Sony's last hope!
