The 360 release is now mere months away, and identical to the PS3 version in every way. That means the same 17 characters, the same stacks of costumes to dress your fighters up in, the same fight system and the same range of play modes. Conspicuous by its absence is any hint of online play, a strange omission in light of some of the 360's other fighters - Dead or Alive 4, Street Fighter 2, Mortal Kombat 3 - all of which support Live play. It's not as bad as it sounds, though.
The hardest of hardcore games, Virtua Fighter 5 is so utterly timing-intensive that even the merest hint of latency or lag will strip the game of the pacing that makes it so great. Timing isn't so critical in, say, the Dead or Alive games, but in VF, where strikes can be as quick as a single frame of animation, online conditions can quickly render the game pretty much unplayable.
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 tried PS3 version but it wasn't that hard. VF5 is a great and deep fighter but not as hard as they say. But mastering it will eventually take a lot of time.
except for the added anti aliasing and rebalanced ai and difficulty settings.
