VF5 in 1080p?

A supposed box images suggests a big update for Sega's prized fighter.

One of the big selling points for the upcoming PlayStation 3 version of Virtua Tennis is its support for 1080p resolution -- a huge update over the arcade version's 720p. So the big question was, would Virtua Fighter 5 get the same treatment?

The answer was presumably no, until an image of the back of the Japanese version's box appeared on Japanese fan sites today. Shown below, the supposed box image indicates that VF5 will join the small list of early PS3 titles to support "true HD."

I like the title, PS3 version to have 1080p. Then you have to put PS3 ONLY!! on the end.
Can I introduce you to Ana?

Juevani6341d ago

So people wont get confussed and start talking about the 360 version when the console it self cant run 1080p, thats all kid.. Ana? she's just a nasty chick that cant get off bill gates oooooooooooooooww, na mean.

T-Virus6341d ago

1. Lets not argue.
2. I'm not a kid.
3. The Xbox 360 can run in 1080p, I don't know who told you otherwise.

Raist6341d ago

There's a whole world between upscaling and doing it natively in terms of hardware capacities.

Upscaling has a quality cost, too

achira6341d ago

T-Virus have you something heard that the xbox360 upscales to 1080p ? the ps3 makes it natively. you xbots cried about the sh!t quality of the ps2 titles on the ps3, and this has a reason, this comes from upscaling, lol. have a lot of fun with your upscaled 1080p on your crapbox, it does nothing more than double the pixels. lol

What is?

Witcher III, Slay the Spire, Virtua Fighter 5, and Sonic Mania are an excellent lineup of titles to add.

Smok911083d ago (Edited 1083d ago )

Lol thanks for your thoughts. Let’s now collectively disagree.

waderae1083d ago

How can you disagree with virtua fighter 5? You haven't played it. It's not out.

Hawk1986661083d ago

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

SegaSaturn6691083d ago

Those are great titles. Real treat.

Rocosaurus1083d ago

Love witcher 3, but that game is six years old.

Eidolon1083d ago

Great great game. Would need another playthrough (Gwent and horse racing) to get the platinum, plus I never bought/played the expansions.

monkey6021083d ago

Slay the Spire is an incredible game

Highrevz1083d ago

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.

monkey6021083d ago

I've heard that actually. Not played it yet though. Good shout!

I'd love to see Sega bring back Eternal Champions.

BlackTar1871530d ago

Why is there no Star Gladiator or Battle Arena Toshinden?

Terry_B1529d ago

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.

BlackTar1871529d ago (Edited 1529d ago )

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.

Skuletor1529d ago (Edited 1529d ago )

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

Silly gameAr1529d ago

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.

BlackTar1871529d ago

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

Ninver1529d ago

Rival schools and virtual fighters

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.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1765d ago

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.

SierraGuy1765d ago

Exactly...I love Tekken but I love VF a little bit more.

tulholdren1765d ago (Edited 1765d ago )

Loved me some VF wish they would update the game i still remember my first Jeffery power bomb on VF 1.

PhoenixUp1765d ago

What happened to a lot of Sega’s classic franchises?
