Sega Virtua Fighter 5 (Merged)

As it should be. The PS3 isn't exactly rolling in the exclusives. It needs to hang on to what it can, though I don't think Virtua Fighter was ever that big a seller in the western territories, at least not compared to the more accessible fighters such as Tekken, Soul Calibur and Mortal Kombat, all of which are lesser games in my opinion.

Shucks
By the time I get a ps3, VF6 will be available

 

[TheCardPlayer]

This game looks freaking awesome. Sega made a big mistake making this a PS3 exclusive IMHO.

 

[Danalys]

you could play it at an arcade.

 

[블라스]

And go outside, with the sunlight and the real people?
Hell no!

 

[Danalys]

arcades aren't known for sunshine.

 

[블라스]

Surely the way to the arcade will be full of people, light and air

I love the fact that they're making Jeffrey and Wolf bigger in relation to the other characters to really put across their heavyweight status. Look at the difference between Wolf and El Blaze. If anything, he looks part giant.

Couple more shots:

The jaggies are there, but none the less, in motion, this game is going to look stunning. Virtua Fighter on the PS2 was known for it's detail in comparison to similar games, and they're only improving on this for the PS3.

Some more images:

I'm liking the first stage with Eileen and Pai, and also Vanessa's cheeky new outfit.

Not so keen on how shiny and plastic the character models look. We don't want to go down the Dead or Alive route. Virtua Fighter is better than that.

^Nice screens.

The key thing is how balanced the game is with all of the fighters. Unlike some fighting games where there's a handful of obvious choices that players gravitate towards, the thing that I love about the Virtua Fighter series is that it's all really balanced.

Err, no. Balance is not exactly one of the stronger points of Virtua Fighter. Maybe at the introductory level it seems like so (because of the steep learning curves of some characters), but when you're going up against expert-master level opponents only a bare few fighters make the cut if you want to win.

The screens for this game looks so awesome.

Nice.

Eileen has a very strange style. Feline based? Though whole paw licking was a bit odd.

 

[블라스]

That's actually Monkey Kung Fu Style

 

[Avalanche]

Hehe.

I can see me playing with her much more than El Blaze. His style really isn't my thing at all.

 

[Zenien]

I am going to master Eileen. She's so cute. *Pats Monkey Kung Fu girl*

 

[Panophobia]

This game is beautiful and amazing looking. Hopefully better than the POS known as DOA4.

 

[Melpomene]

I should stab you

 

[Panophobia]

I should stab you

[BenStiller] Do it. [/BenStiller]

I could watch Virtua Fighter 5 Matches all day, the painstaking detail, polish, and depth of the fighting engine makes the matches great to watch, the animations and character detail are almost unrivaled on top of it all.

Just click and start watching... it will automatically cycle through all the fights

I knew there was a reason I liked you Zenien. At first I thought it was your sensual touch, which just tingles me, but now I realise it's your ability to post videos I haven't seen before.

Looking at those, Virtua Fighter really is in another league altogether compared to the other fighters out there. There is nothing that can touch this.

Eileen looks like a great play. Such an odd style.

 

[Avalanche]

The stage in which Eileen and Akira fight. Absolutely stunning!
