Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown pre-release hype thread

It still remains the most technical 3d fighting game. Id never say no to bouncing boobies...but id take game play any day over watching some dumb blond with huge tits in revealing costumes doing round house kicks
Played many times, but I could never get into VF series. Early DOA games were way too easy and button mashing (esp the counter system). Later on the refined combat demanded a bit more accuracy in timing. So basically, I'm with bad Mofo on this one... gimme DOA 5!
VF is not everybody's piece of cake...specially people who'r more used to tekken....VF plays very differntly, it has a niche following...but its pretty big amongst some circles...
Yes. Virtua Fighter series is still the most technical fighting games ever made. For the brief time I played it, actually defeating a skilled player was more rewarding than any other fighting game I've played. DOA and Tekken (DOA for the most part) have spoiled me in that regard
...although technical on their own merit, there a rookie CAN defeat a skilled player by luck. That just can't happen in VF.What they need desperately now is to port this on consoles and give us an ONLINE MODE!!!
Cool game. I used to play it quite a bit back in VF2 days. This is like real old though. I am hardly in touch with later installments. This game really does need a good online mode.
Something that was interesting in the few vids, I watched later on, was how quickly the players seem to stride forward and do a fairly difficult throw within a fraction of a second, during a real game. One example would be that Akira's throw which goes like hurricane kick of ryu (with some PKG combination instead of kick).
Another interesting trivia is that one of the players who was sbo winner few years back was also a player in the super play dvd of dodonpachi dai ou jou.
There was also this UK show that I saw sometime back which was presumably back from VF2 days. They called in a japanese player (some tournament winner) and hundred different kids, who were all VF players, from all across UK. So the challenge to the japanese player was to defeat all 100 of the kids in one single sitting. They arranged the opponents in increasing order of skill (easier to harder). Interestingly the japanese player did manage to win all 100 of the games, although he did lose quite a few rounds near the end. The last opponent was also probably the best player since he managed to give a real scare.

I totally agree... VF5 was a let down in terms of online play.Yes. Virtua Fighter series is still the most technical fighting games ever made.

Virtua Fighter 5. My first game on the PS3
Played a lot of it. And I really appreciate it. It's much much technical and believable than either SF or Tekken games. And it's insanely hard. And it also has the best graphics I've ever seen in fighting games. Yes, I'm talking about VF5 which released in '06 or '07.

Exactly what I noticed. Theres still a PC gamer in you^ Graphics look really good. Character models are detailed and cloth movement looks realistic. But take a look at the sand after 1:00 minute mark
Yep... together with the port, an online component is badly needed. The excuse of slowdowns affecting the hardcore gameplay simply isn't enough now.

It was one of my best Franchise but left playing it from long time. Hope to try it because I liked it before.

Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.

SolitarySoldier:
if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff. -
SolitarySoldier:
Phil keeps talking about breaking barriers to gaming, making it accessible on all platforms yada yada, while killing competition and creativity at the same time. the fact that i actually believed him for a second lol

"These changes are not a reflection of the creativity and skill of the talented individuals at these teams or the risks they took to try new things" ... seems to me that's exactly what it is

Microsoft deserves all the hate they can get. Seriously i can't explain how much i want to curse them out. -
XPremiuM:
They could've sold the studios instead of closing them, but the nazi bastards just didn't want competition down the road.

XPremiuM:
What's the f*** is wrong with them? I mean really? Have they completely lost it? F***ing retards.

XPremiuM:
So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.

Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.
