Rumor: Virtua Fighter: Crossroads leaked footage.

/ship it.

Bruce Lee Fighting GIF
 
The game producer Riichiro Yamada hinted a while back it would be at Summer Games Fest. When he does that it usually shows up at the time he's hinting at.
 
I was never a fan of the 3 button Guard Punch Kick layout, but I have to admit the graphics and animations are outstanding. RGG's graphics team is really impressing me.

Hopefully they got yakuza characters in it
Great idea tbh.

If Sega throws Kiryu and Majima into the base game, they'll sell a lot more copies. Gimme Yagami from Judgment too. They could even put some Streets of Rage characters as DLC.

Just keep their move set grounded in VF realism.

Haven't been into fighting games since the 90s. Last fighting game I bought was vf4 Evo on PS2. I think it was a greatest hits bargain bin.

But this looks incredible. Temptation.
 
I'm #TeamReal because it looks like Will Ospreay is doing Wolf's motion capture based on that footage.

EDIT: Also, Samoa Joe and Hikaru Shida, also from AEW like Ospreay, did some work with the same development team for Yakuza, IIRC.

It lLooks pretty much like the previous real showing of the game in style, effects etc., so why assume it's fake? If it is, it's a very good one. Honestly it doesn't look like the revolution I hoped for but I'm sure it's gonna be great all the same, just more conventional than implied by the first tech demo.

Maybe toned down the weird glowy red status effects, that would be a good thing if it's the case.


You're tripping. This is exactly what we need in a 3d fighter. Less meters and lazers and 15 second combos.

There was a 4th button the evade button in VF3 which they took out never brought back. I wish they'd kept it. One of the old interviews on VF6 mentioned not being limited to the old control scheme so it may not remain 3 buttons. The evade button in VF3 allowed for some crazy movement without breaking your arm like you would in VF4.

I forgot about that!

I always thought a mix of classic Tekken and MK's layout seems good. Limbs and Block. It would translate well to most pads too. 4 face buttons and shoulder button for block.

I never played VF3 though. Maybe that's better.

I stopped liking fighting games once they included the cinematic in the middle of the game. Already the ultra combos in Killer Instinct were a stretch but at least the battle was already over then. That's one of the reasons DBZ games never clicked with me.

Okay, this is a leak. Now what will Sega do about it? There's absolutely no way they'll keep that presentation.

You're tripping cos a) I agree and b) it's unrelated to what I actually said (except the part I even said it's a good thing if they toned down the weirder effects).

Yeah, basically a mix of new and old characters. For example, Stella, who looks like Sarah Bryant, seems to be a new character. Possibly Sarah Bryant's daughter... or even Jacky's daughter? Cielo is also a new character. In some shots you can see an old Wolf Hawkfield.

There's a theory that Stella is a brainwashed Sarah, done so by the J6 organization. Dunno how likely that is; I am not acclimated with the VF lore, particularly since most of it is in supplementary material and not the actual games :/.

The game was announced at The Game Awards, so Summer Game Fest seems like the likelier bet? If they had a marketing partnership with a platform holder surely it would've included the announcement too.

Would probably be the most likely. Relatively neutral, and most people know the FGC is on PS5 & PC.

Looks gorgeous.



Yea, very likely for the Xbox June Showcase. It's safe to say Xbox has marketing deals for all Sega games.

Highly unlikely. Someone else already said the game got revealed at one of Geoff's shows, probably for a reason: SEGA don't want to anchor a VF comeback by console partisanship.

And in this case, especially not Xbox, given vast majority of the FGC is on PS5 & PC, and it'd be extremely risky to push Western marketing for a revival of an IP that's struggled to make it big in the West, on a platform that's basically dead in sales and dead for the FGC.

Then again, SEGA have done stupider things so anything's up in the air.

Hopefully they got yakuza characters in it

If they do that I hope they keep them to super-hidden guest appearances, or just as costume variants for the established cast. Or, as special seasonal guests.

That could work. Not throwing Kiryu & Majima in the base game, but having them as DLC guest characters or costumes for existing cast members.

At the end of the day I still want a VF that's a VF, not a Yakuza dressed in VF skin.
 
Looks like they are playing using a powerful pc. It looks so great it is almost like next gen. Maybe only ps5 pro console can run this game properly

They worked with Nvidia on this game. Jensen talked about being a fan. Probably on PC with Nvidia only features like path tracing. Although I'm sure console versions will be fine too.




Anyway this is definitely a legit leak. Devs are pissed lol.
