Quest Mode is still Best Mode!

Any Fighting Game which brings something like that will win my heart.

Quest Mode is truly superb. However, I will say that Virtua Fighter 4: Evolution has the best version of it. I find that it possesses more depth and opportunities for the player than what's presented in VF5. I truly hope that, if VF6 ever becomes a reality, we get a mode that matches if not surpasses VF4:E's Quest Mode.

The only other fighting game I've played with a similar feature is Soul Calibur 1 on the Dreamcast. The mission mode in that was pretty great. Unlocking everything was a blast!

Come on SEGA, just release a PC port

May I say it? Ahead of its time.

If I want to get into VF, where should I start? I have 4 Evo on PS2, 5 on PS3 and access to the Naomi 2 versions.

Start with VF4 Evo's tutorial and quest mode. Pick up VF5FS from there.

Referenced in oneida's excellent article too, but yeah, AM2's tried to keep VF ahead of the curve and wasn't really afraid to experiment a little here and there. Arcadewise VF3 knocked everyone around a bit with the Model 3 graphics and uneven terrain fights.

I think it started losing lustre when everyone else caught up to it in graphics, features, and playability.

access to the NAOMI versions you say? hmm

VF4EVO tutorial and quest mode are the best place to start learning Virtua Fighter
once you're comfortable with that, peek this:

and then hit up VFDC for VF5FS matches.

They won't hurt as much as VF6 being outsourced to Team Ninja.

 

[Zaki2407]

Yup. VF5 is still the best fighting game for me. The first time I saw it at the arcade back in 2006, my jaw dropped. it's a beautiful game, even by today's standard.

i know you're kidding but as long as AM2 still exists and katagiri works for sega (producer/director of the VF series since 3) that won't happen

Playing this on the Xbone it's easy to forget how old it is. Still feels, looks and plays fresh as hell in 2017.

It's insane that Sega don't even make fighting games anymore considering they used to make some of the best in the biz.
