virtua fighter 5 was released over 10 years ago

Virtua Fighter 5 should've been released on PC years ago. They should release it or make 6 and keep the lootboxes since that shit is hot fire right now in PC gaming.
 
Quest Mode is still Best Mode!

Any Fighting Game which brings something like that will win my heart.
 
While T7 is my favorite 3D fighter I would still absolutely welcome a new VF, and more so now because of T7.

Sega could just give the rights to Harada or some shit, and make $ off of it.

VF vs Tekken. NO tag system. Just add together the rosters and systems somehow.
 
VF4:Evo taught me all the fighting fundamentals I need.

Still, that FG renaissance was mostly for 2/2.5D fighters while 3D has just Tekken and DoA these days :<
 
i remember watching location test videos and going crazy at how good it looked.Sega really knows their stuff, it still holds up on all fronts today.

I friggin' miss that mode a ton, I would play it for hours and hours in both VF4Evo and VF5. Sega NEEDS to bring VF back, it's been waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too long.
 
I have a tiny bit of hope for a VF6. Tekken's sudden rise to prominence with Tekken 7 might get SEGA's attention and they'll realize they still have a decent IP to make a fighting game out of.

Seriously, if they made a VF6 filled with microtransactions for items and costumes, I would buy all of it.
 
VF is, and always will be the apex of the fighting game genre.

VF4 EVO. Still to this day, has the best and most thorough tutorial of the genre. And should have been the model that all other fighting games copied.
WHERE IS VIRTUA FIGHTER 6 DAMMIT

Fun fact: I wrote the win quotes in Virtua Fighter 5

Quest mode is god-tier.
 
Virtua Fighter is the greatest 3D fighting game series.

No other fighting game has done so much with so few inputs, just P/K/G

I've had a soft spot for VF2 and its soundtrack since I got it on Saturn.

VF4: Evolution is the single most feature rich fighting game especially for the value with the original price of $20 iirc

Jeffry announcing "I Win" still echoes in my mind sometimes when i finish a game.

Its also responsible for why i love Shenmue so much as it was originally ment to be Virtua Fighter RPG.
 
I never loved the presentation of 5.... the series really lost the "shiny future martial arts sim" feel starting with Virtua Fighter 4: Evo.

The buttrock soundtrack didn't help. And I think the models had drifted into being pretty ugly with 5....

Underneath the hood, it's still VF though.
 
the fighting game genre is in a shitty state right now with seasons, guest characters and microtransactions and loot boxes.

I will be so sad if vf6 happens and succumbs to these things.
 
Still so gorgeous - ten years later. The designers had great aesthetic taste.

Totally agree, not too over the top, down to earth and normal looking characters.
Though I like the game it's too technical for me, but didn't stop me from buying it.
 
Man Final Showdown was so good. It was my first VF experience, and I loved how snappy an fas paced everything was.

I'd be in day 1 for VF6... if it ever comes out :(
 
I'M GONNA WHIP YOU IN NO TIME!

Virtua Fighter 4 was my introduction to the series (And my first game on PS2, along with Jedi Starfighter)

What a fantastic series, easily the greatest in the fighting genre in my opinion.

Still play 5 regularly, awful at it. Would be there day 1 if a sequel ever comes out.

we should get regular gaf rooms going, weekly or something. I love to play but no one is online except for one guy who just slaughters me.

Xbone here so I imagine the playerbase on this side is a lot smaller.

I'd be absolutely keen. I miss playing this game with others.
