10 years of Virtua Fighter 5 (SEGAbits Retrospective)

GOAT fighting game, IMO.

One of the greatest highlights of last generation, and it's kind of a shame SEGA has sat their hands and let the modern fighting game resurgence pass them by without using it to raise VF's profile.

I think VF5 has made SEGA enough money over the years to realise there is a strong future for the series if they want it. Even the digital release of VF5:FS exceeded sales expectations, and there's probably a whole new audience waiting for the series on the new consoles and PC. It'd be such a shame if the series was left to die, but at least they'd be going out on top.
 
The first VF game I ever took seriously, converting me into a life long fan.

As much shit as I give Namco for how they've handled Tekken recently, I should be grateful they didn't treat their IP's as bad as Sega treats Virtua Fighter. A real shame all that talent that created this great fighting game isn't being put to use evolving this IP further.

Soul Calibur breh....
