Sega Europe informed us this morning that its released a new downloadable patch for Virtua Fighter 5 on the Xbox 360. The patch will include a number of gameplay additions and enhancements including...
Plus celebrate Sonic’s 30th anniversary with a trio of titles: Sonic Mania, Team Sonic Racing and Sonic Forces.
Although fighting games are entering a new Golden Age, there's a number of franchises that deserve to be brought back.
I think licensing is one of the major reasons Fight for NY hasn't been ported, since its original release. Def Jam had a poll on their Twitter a year or two ago asking if people would be interested in a new entry to the series. A surprise next gen release with AKI developing it would be cool
Definitely yes to Weaponlord, Bloody Roar, Rival Schools, Power Stone, Bushido Blade, Darkstalkers, and the Def Jam games. I was really big into fighting games when I was younger. I would Like Primal Rage, B.A,T., and Eternal Champions to come back as well.
It’s been a while since we got a new Virtua Fighter game. What’s going with the series?
Ask Sega. All of Yu's games haven't gotten updates. And they aren't helping to bring Shenmue 3 to console and PC. Spent most of their time on Sonic and Yakuza. Like they forgot the man that got them started. He was the "Miyamoto of Sega." Too many hits under hits belt.
VF is one of the best if not the best, technical fighters around based on real fighting styles. No supers, no finishers,etc. I wish there wasn't any juggling. It was fun as a videogame mechanic but I would like full realism for a fighting game. It's like adding nos to Gran Turismo. Would be fun. Just doesn't fit the realism Kaz wants in his game of winning through skill and perseverance.
I'm hoping for a new Sega surge of games in and out of VR and more respect for Yu and his properties. It's just not the same Sega I grew up with though.
As a side thing, Sega could have even updated Last Bronx to a modern fighter like Namco did with Soul Blade to Soul Calibur.

But they've sat on that too.
Loved me some VF wish they would update the game i still remember my first Jeffery power bomb on VF 1.
I don't mind if 360 users get the patch, hell I wouldn't mind if I had bought it on 360. However, the PS3 has gotten plenty of game patches, even from 3rd parties, so why don't they do the same? It's only customer service, SEGA.
SEGA hasn't really been doing many great games as of late, so I'm gonna pass on every game they make (like I'm missing much) until I get the online gaming patch, which should be possible on PSN as it isn't p2p , Tekken 5 was possible, and PSN isn't having the amount of problems that XBL is currently having.
It may be a hard fact to swallow for many here, but for the best gaming experience, you just have to Jump In, not Play Beyond.
Even if I didn't buy games, I bought VF5, which should be enough for SEGA to give me customer service on that game.
keep your virtua fighter...tekken is better, soul calibur rules all. Sega sure doesnt play nice with the ps3. First they snubbed the ps3 on voice support for ac4 and then snubbed ps3 of online for vf and now spraying lemon juice on it by giving 360 patches for vf. I know sony put them out of the console business, but that was a while ago. Cant we all just get along.
Have VF5 for the PS3. I would love to play online. I guess I understand priorities but PS3 has the bigger installbase.
