Woops. Guess I should have posted that Vanquish info here.
But I think it might be this year's Sega PC port.
OMFG
Windows 10 exclusive
THE FUTURE OF PLATINUM GAMES
KOTAKU: It’s long been that the Japanese games industry has been centered around consoles. But you’ve just mentioned how you are interested in releasing titles on PC. Do you think the Japanese game industry has changed regarding PC?
INABA: Perhaps. But to be honest, we’re good friends with Valve and often go to their studio. We go there, hang out, talk about many different things, and we are very interested in Steam and would definitely like to release games on Windows. Right now, we’re at a place in which publishers ask us to make titles. So, if the publisher doesn’t want to release a PC version, then there won’t be a PC version. It really comes down to that.
AARON: Is there any possibility that Vanquish will get a PC version?
KOTAKU: It would be a good idea to release Vanquish on PC.
INABA: (smiling) Hrm. I wonder... If you stop recording, I can talk about that. (laughs)
KOTAKU: Platinum Games is very much a global game studio. If you compare Platinum to, say, your typical Japanese studio, Platinum seems very different.
INABA: Thank you very much.
KOTAKU: Like, in Japan, there really aren’t that many game companies that say they want to make PC versions.
INABA: That certainly seems to be true. I think the reason for that is that in Japan, the PC versions don’t sell much. Outside Japan, they do, but within the country, they do not. But, if you look aboard, everyone is playing on the PC. It’s something you cannot ignore.
KOTAKU: So, do you think because Platinum Games has had the opportunity to hang out at Valve that there has been some kind of influence?
INABA: Well, when we go to Valve, they’re always showing us new things, such as Steam VR while it was still in development. It was quite impressive.
KOTAKU: So for you, someone who has wanted to make games since he was a child, what do you think of mobile games?
INABA: Since I want to make [game] software, I think even smartphones are a wonderful platform. I’d like to make things that run on it. However, I think it’s a platform that is still being worked out. I think after a number of years, as a platform it will come into its own.
I think increasingly it will become such that only the very best stuff survives and the stuff that isn’t quite up to snuff will die off....We’re definitely interested in mobile. We also think if you put games out on Steam and whatnot, you can do interesting things. We’d like to do that.
Bayonetta, Vanquish, and VF5 would all be incredible.
Also, is there any chance Platinum could get Bayo2 back from Nintendo or do they have it locked down?
Nintendo funded the development of it dude.
Bayo 1 is better anyway, if they get Bayo 1 on PC and next gen consoles with some enhancements I think that will be more than enough. That game had so much replay value, so whoever wants to play Bayo2 could just get a WiiU2 cheaply or wait for some deal to be cut with Nintendo and Sega to allow the title on other platforms.Bayonetta, Vanquish, and VF5 would all be incredible.

Fuck VF5 - I want VF4: Evo
The implied /s wasn't obvious?Well no, it probably isn't. It helps to actually read the context that read selective snippets.
Not Final Tuned? That one never left Japanese arcades. Regardless, VF4 is better than 5 by a hair.
Fuck VF5 - I want VF4: Final Tuned
I mean, wasn't Sony putting money into SFV?Nintendo funded the development of it dude.

Sure it's Nintendo and they're averse to this sort of thing, but there's no real legal reason it couldn't show up on PC is there?
Sony has not considered the PC to be a direct competitor for whatever reason. They're perfectly fine with letting games, especially indies, be on PC as long as PS4 is the only console on which they're available.I mean, wasn't Sony putting money into SFV?

This. If Bayo 1 came to PC, it would be my fourth time buying the game (I re-bought the 360 version because I was too impatient to wait for a friend to return my original copy to me). However, I probably wouldn't bother buying a port of Bayo 2 despite the fact that it's a great game and I bought my Wii U for it in the first place. The combat is just lacking compared to the original and just doesn't pull me back in the same way.Bayo 1 is better anyway, if they get Bayo 1 on PC and next gen consoles with some enhancements I think that will be more than enough.

I had to correct you there.
Evo is the one will the best training/tutorial modes in any fighting game ever made, plus, it's already fully localized.Why the hell do you want Evolution over you know the best version of VF4, Final Tuned?
Yes, Evo was on PS2, but there was apparently a PS2 FT Sega made and just sat on.
VF5FS is my favorite VF from a gameplay perspective. I feel it merges the freedom of movement from VF3 (with some compromises) with the "checks&balances" mechanics of VF4FT (with some compromises). I've made a lot of good friends through VF5FS, and while I can happily play VF4 and genuinely admire what that game is, I feel that Final Showdown is more a part of my "VF story" than 4Evo is.
On top of that
- newer game
- already has online
- has more characters
- looks prettier
I would buy VF4EVO or FT and gift as many copies as I could afford if it came to Steam (hear me, SEGA?), however if given the choice between the two I would choose Final Showdown over it.
Gotta think bigger brah
Let Steam be the great preserver of the Virtua Fighter Legacy
VF Collection Vol. 1: V. Fighter 1+2+Kids
VF Collection Vol. 2: VF3+4
VF5
THE WORLD MUST KNOW THE EVOLUTION OF THE KAGEMARU-RYU OUGI HISSATSU-WAZA: JIGOKU GURUMA!
I mean, wasn't Sony putting money into SFV?

Here's a fucking good gaffer folks. This gentleman obviously knows his shit. VF4 is THE fighting game. If they want money thrown at them they should release both 4 and 5 in a bundle on Steam. Make a bigger bundle that also includes Vanquish and some Yakuza games and Ill email Sega my account and routing numbers.
I would throw down 60$ easy for VF4/5 bundle on steam.
best fighting games imo
Can we get that PC port of Panzer Dragoon Saga that the old Gamersgate (no relation) storefront apparently had? We're going to end up forgetting that thing exists if we don't hassle Sega to put it out.
Fuck VF5 - I want VF4: Evo
So this is basically a year now since they teased new PC ports.
What's going on?

Fingers crossed for Skies of Arcadia with Legends content.Pretty sure that they teased more PC ports earlier this year in a Sega Central video. Aside from that, I dunno.
EDIT: Checked and last May they teased that more Dreamcast games are coming to Steam: https://youtu.be/FdyAgPDe9rI?t=37s

I'm always checking PCSX2 every few months just to see if VF4:Evo works any better.Yeah I was disappointed to find out it runs poorly in pcsx2, so a PC port would be quite welcome.
