[De-mon]

 

[sixteen-bit]

Put Final Showdown on PC, cowards.

 

[DECK’ARD]

WHAT IS IT

 

[flashman92]

Betting on some kind of remake

 

[Deleted member 16876]

What the hell was that?

Why the hell didn't they explain?

 

[Deleted member 8593]

Stop fucking with people on this one, Sega.

 

[Issen]

I think they're teasing a new game too. One of the hosts said "I thought you were announcing a new game!" and the other replied with "oops, we'd love to explain it all but we're running out of time, stay tuned!"

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

That's it? D:

This
Also all modern console platforms
With cross play

 

[Aeroucn]

LMAOOOO WTF was that. There has to be a new game in the works right?

 

[Mugy]

I shall pressume you can't do anything eSports related with the Virtua Fighter IP unless it's paired with a novelty, right? This has to be they are working on a new game...

...Either that or SEGA's gonna launch a esports team that's called "The Virtua Fighters" or something like that who knows

 

[IvorB]

I can't really parse whether this is good news or not but since it's VF related I'm going to say it's probably not.

 

[Tailzo]

VF5 port?

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

I have no idea what this is. Interested though.

 

[IronicSonic]

My money is on Virtua Figther 6 with a huge focus on eSports.

Anyway more Virtua Fighter is always great news!! Hope we got more info soon

 

[Orioto]

SOmewhat i struggle to imagine Sega releasing a brand new VF with next gen worthy graphics.

 

[dedge]

Return of the King

Please.

Spoiler

Although it's technically included in Yakuza: Like a Dragon.

 

[Yudoken]

Please make it a worthy successor, we need more good competition in AAA 3d fighters.

 

[Gloam]

Ohboyohboyohboyohmanohgodohgodohman

 

[Vespa]

HYPE, BUT WHAT IS IT, BUT HYPE

 

[BasilZero]

That is a tease

 

[Waluigi's World]

The meltdowns if it were a Xbox Series X exclusive would be entertaining enough for me to not care about it coming to PS5, lol.

 

[jett]

Good translate indicates they're rebooting the franchise with a new esports-oriented game.

WELL SHIEEEEEEEEEEEEET

Knowing how japan always does this kind of shit it's totally the second one

 

[Laser Ramon]

Auto-translation says they're "restarting" VF. Sounds like a reboot to me.

 

[Tailzo]

Arcade exclusive?

 

[Transistor]

Holy shit. I can't tell you how much a new VF would excite me. Time to dig out the stick and start practicing with my Sarah.

 

[Tailzo]

This is awesome. Sega has been great lately!

THEY JUST ANNOUNCED NOTHING.

 

[a Question]

Anyone who knows Japanese? Dont trust Twitter translate, does word restart makes sense?

I've never been one for VF lore, but what would a reboot mean other than changing the game mechanics or giving Lau black hair again and having a small roster?

 

[The Anonymous Wizard]

DONT DO ME THIS WAY SEGA!

what does this mean!? Are we getting VF6!?

[Mistouze]

SEGA acknowledging Virtua Fighter.

There is a god.

 

[Arta]

Sega really isn't in a position to slow hype anything.

 

[saelz8]

OH MAN!

 

[liquidtmd]

Sega acknowledge Virtua Fighter

Coming soon: Virtua Fighter....MEGADRIVE VERSION TO ALL PLATFORMS

 

[RestEerie]

clearly, it's fighters megamix

More like "comes back".

But then it reads a bit like "comes back in the form of eSports!".

 

[IronicSonic]

...Either that or SEGA's gonna launch a esports team that's called "The Virtua Fighters" or something like that who knows

Click to shrink...

A Tekken 7 esport team called like that would be funny

If this is a reboot, hope they keep game mechanics and movements. So many memory muscle already

 

[Acquiescence]

The return of AAA Virtua Fighter would be pretty damn big news.

 

[Phoenixazure]

It's time the 3D fighting king comes and reclaims its throne

 

[Jarod McChicken]

"Virtua Fighter, which was created as the world's first 3D fighting game in 1993, will restart as an eSports title in celebration of Sega's 60th anniversary, starting in Japan," Sega said. "Details on the project will be announced in a future update."

Clearly not VF6, but it's not an arcade/japan only project either.

 

[sprsk]

Fucking finally.

１０年遅いんだよ！！！！

A multiplat release of VF5FS with online would already be pretty good, since the game is still damn good.

 

[XaviConcept]

hook it to my veins, its badly needed

 

[Karlinel]

After all, you can't spell SEGA without "fuck you, fans"
