Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown announcement trailer and screenshots (PS4 Exclusive)
- Thread starter flashman92
- Start date
C'mon Alyx. It could be worse. It could be PS4/Stadia-exclusive
Bahaha, I'm joking. No self respecting fighting game would launch as a STADIA EXCLUSIVE before releasing a PC version
Hahaha
Haha
Ha....
Remade using the Dragon Engine... that's... concerning. Hopefully it means just graphically because I'm not sure I like the thought of them attempting to rebuild the combat engine of VF5 with an engine that has its own share of issues combat wise.
Otherwise, it'll be a nice PS+ freebie. I'd honestly have rather just had a perfect port of 5FS with quest mode added and good netcode.

Yep, this is what I was going to say. The recording quality and acting is notoriously bad, and it's what makes these games hard to play.
I've only played Final Showdown (through the Yakuza games). I'm trash at the game and fighting games in general, but that one is really fun. I managed to get through the whole game (no continues) and beat Dural just by spamming the basic punch combo :)
Is this really coming to PS+? Might bite if it is.

I don't really think that's how it works...like Yakuza combat has issues because of its game design, not because of the engine itself.
If Sega were confident about the IP, they would've made the sequel w/o a money hat from Sony.
I think it does matter how the deal is structured because if it really is the choices between A) Sony funds development and it's PS4 exclusive, or B) Game doesn't exist then I'd much rather have A.
It's strange because it seems like there are people who would actually choose option B.
Its the game that was relased on PS3 right ? with visual upgrade ? Super cool to bring it back to modern times and not have left it stuck on PS3 forvever
Why should i care a lot when iam the consumer and it affects me negatively? Whether i bestow my 'ire' on any company. It won't affect them in anyway that they stop making games at all or something lol..
And honestly.. its only a slippery path if i was beholden to any company or 'brand'.. you know.. 'if x company does this i won't mind but if y company does it then hell has become frozen'..
The onus is on the company to be not secretive about these deals and not on us customers to wait patiently just so they can tell us how much money they are making over this...
It was never stuck on PS3. I think you can play it on any modern Xbox console.
lmao an engine has nothing to do how with the combat will be designed, if you had shared concerns about the engine running at a locked 60 on PS4 it'd be more understable
That reminds me! I still gotta get a Brook adapter so I can use the Astro Mini arcade stick!
Beautiful stick! enjoy!

PS4 exclusive bahahaha
Keep your trash, SEGA

This is pretty clearly a test run to see if the RGG Studio can handle developing a new VF.
I'm not sure if this is the best way to do it, and I'm hoping Sega isn't using sales as a determining factor, but it's plain as day.

It was on 360, and is BC with One/Series, and it was in Yakuza games on PS4/Xbox One/PC, so it wasn't really stuck, but they're rereleasing it in a terrible way.
It might be because of the lighting, but she doesn't look nearly as whitewashed as she was in VF5. Guess we'll see
It's the same shit that keeps phantasy star off of PS4/5 in western markets. It's like they do nothing for something until they can money hat it.
If the netcode is crap then Sony and Sega have learned nothing about the importance of online play during COVID. Honestly I'd be shocked if that were the case.
I don't see any balance changes as part of this update, so I wonder if VF5 FS players can play this older version and still be competitive on Ultimate.

Yeah and VF has been on the shelf for so long that I could see Sega wanting to mitigate risk here. This release really feels like them testing the waters and if you're going to test the waters then why wouldn't you do it by partnering up with the company whose platform kind of owned the fighting genre last gen? Outside of exclusive titles for Switch or X1 tournaments generally used PS4 as their platform of choice for various reasons one of which being that most people who play fighting games were playing them on PS4.
That said, I would be shocked if this didn't eventually get at least a PC release. Also, I seem to be alone on liking the visual update. Maybe I'm wrong but I feel like them doing the work to get this game running on the Yakuza engine potentially shows intent to do more with this series if this release does well.
She's a little darker than VF5 for sure, but her facial features aren't as white either.
If you don't announce that your new fighting game has rollback netcode frame 1, then what are you even doing?
Cautiously optimistic. Obviously I'll be playing it, but not sure of it's long-term success like this. PS+ is a good way to get a large online player base for a niche remaster like this on day 1, but can they maintain it? I wonder if that PS+ deal is why it's not on anything else, at least to start with. And knowing Sony, if a PC release does happen, it won't be crossplay.
Not mentioning anything about the netcode at all makes me think it's not rollback and they don't want to be up-front about that because word of mouth for delay-based netcode in fighters is super damaging these days.

The last time we got a new VF game it was not exclusive, so it's pretty understandable plenty of people would be upset.
Exclusivity issues aside, it's exclusive to a console that's already outside the house, on the car and headed to the retirement home. At this point in the game if exclusivity was important they should of done a PS5 version as well. Or just do PS5 for longevity's sake. It looks like an af old game (which it is). And I don't even have a PS5! They don't sell PS4's anymore and they are not going to entice PS5 game sales with this either. What a waste.
Honestly both of your options won't matter if the market leader just wants to 'compete' and they show SEGA enough money to just keep it exclusive...
Like for example How Judgement is a Stadia exclusive and is the reason why it hasn't been ported to PC yet...
Money talks and is much safer to assume than just to rest on our laurels and wait for them to clarify it which they will never do lol...
The burden of proof is on THEM and they're guilty of taking money for it until they say otherwise.. because they're so secretive about these deals..
Where's this idea that Vanessa's skin tone has been reverted coming from? She still looks as bleached as she's always been in 5, but the lighting quality has changed.
