Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown announcement trailer and screenshots (PS4 Exclusive)
- Thread starter flashman92
- Start date
Massive meh from me.
In the age of crossplay, vs fighters should be on every platform.
I'm sure that this being PS4 exclusive is just modern Sega being extremely unambitious and unconfident about their product as usual, with no real moneyhat involved.
Also i'm not a fan of Dragon Engine so far, it's just so heavy and unreasonably demanding, and it doesn't even look that good. The new faces are weird as hell.
Damn, i don't have a PS4 anymore...

Street Fighter V. And I think Fantasy Strike had PS4/pc crossplay originally, long before Sony allowed it with the other consoles.
Strange choice in how Akira's face changed (much worse, though apparently everyone's was changed). I see VF5 Vanessa is ultimately still VF5 Vanessa, sadly.
And that UI is even worse than Guilty Gear Strive's. Whatever though, these are all idle criticisms, as I'll probably be like most fighting game players in that I won't actually be playing VF.

I think you're confusing the original VF5 with Final Showdown. In arcades, FS was 2010, and on console, it was 2012. It was also made BC on Xbox back in 2016.
Then people will just be angry about information that may never come out.
I, personally, think it's easier to believe Sega had zero intention of reviving VF and wouldn't have made Ultimate if Sony hadn't stepped in than Sony moneyhatting a niche (but history rich) fighting game to keep it off other platforms.
Ah, using the Dragon Engine for the graphics. That's interresting, however I found the visuals of the base VF5 not much worse. It just looks different?
I'll still say it's a collab for a future VF6 so that they can be more efficient - in the past say the PS3 Yakuza engine and VF5 engine were built indepedently. However Sega has been more keen on sharing technology between departments, as you can see with Sakura Wars using the Hedgehog Engine.
RGG Studio is ex-AM2 anyway, putting them back into the fold is a good thing.

All up in my veins.
Here's hoping that we're getting the fight intros from the arcade back and maybe training and quest modes more like VF4Evo and less like VF5/FS.

Akira: From Chad to Virgin - The Virtua Fighter Sega Saga.
Akira looks like a total whino now wtf.

Oh yeah I totally forgot they own EVO now. That is the kind of bridge burning flex I can seem them doing cause why the fuck not. I could see Japanese devs going along with it cause the numbers probably favor PS consoles anyway.
A engine is nothing more than a baseline set of tools that build a game on top of. An engine doesn't dictate art direction or gameplay mechanics.
Thanks for the fact check! 9 years certainly is shorter than 15, but still a long time between new/updated versions.
Fair. I wonder if they have different feelings about crossplay for fighters over other genres, since they seem very resistant to it otherwise. It's a bit odd.
This game will be launching on a platform with 120+ million install base (across PS4 and PS5).
And if it's PS+ (as rumored) a mere one percent of that playing the game would be a smash out the gate.
Sega has past history in basically giving exclusives to Sony for free so I wouldn't automatically assume a Sony moneyhat here. My default assumption with their platform choices is an excess of caution from a company that still operates like its the PS2 era at times.

Only complaint visually is Jacky's hair looks super goofy and stands out in comparison to everyone else's
Pretty sure that is the costume tone not the OG tone.
Original skin tone Vanessa, let's go!
Yes, it's all money.
Companies are guilty of taking software via money. There's nothing secretive about it.
Why do people continue to be perplexed by the behavior that has defined the gaming industry for generations.
If it's not on your platform, wait or go play something else. Literally what everyone else does for any other piece of exclusive (timed or otherwise) software.
The whole hand wringing over exclusivity deals has become absurd to the point of parody.
Thats a ridiculous statement even by Era standards.
Unless we know the detail behind the deal then it shouldn't be criticized by default. If this has only come about because of Sony backing/funding then what is there to be upset about? If you cant have it on your platform of choice no one should have it? Kinda Pathetic.
If it really is the PS+ game for June then Sega is probably being paid pretty well by Sony.
Yeah if information like this comes out earlier or at all eventually then it will be much better for all parties unless some actual moneyhat is involved and they don't wanna talk about it...
But how many times have you see these companies talk about exclusivity deals in interviews other than 'we have no plans for these other platforms'?
For these companies its just business and they don't want to come out and say shit that'll affect it in any way..
The most we get publicly is Sony clearly stating how long it'll be exclusive for(which i appreciate).
That's what we'll do, but it's not like we have lots of 3D fighters to play instead ;(
And PC players, who seem to always get caught in the crossfire of the silly console exclusivity deals nonsense.
If it's PS+, you'd be able to buy it straight up, of course…but are you not trying to play it online?
Like you need PS+ for online, so like…
Oh lord, Sega done Sega'd this up.
GOAT VF4 Vanessa for ref
Yeah sadly it looks the sameWhere'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.
GOAT VF4 Vanessa for ref
Indeed - would love to have this on PC for the permanent BC. I imagine it'll come.
Another PS exclusive from SEGA of a mostly dead franchise. Good luck I guess....
Going by this logic every game released on the PS4 should be a smash hit

For PS+ yes, that doesn't mean they paid for anything else. Final Showdown on PS360 was also a PS+ game at launch.
thank you.
People act like this shit is new.
games even "cheap" ones cost a lot of money to make and like it not these exclusive deals helps on that front.
you don't have to like it but it is what it is and it will only continue in the future with MS buying whole ass publishers. there are tons of games out there to play so you you can wait or just move on.
i only had a n64 and then only a GameCube....so this shit isn't new. You don't always get everything you want. Time to realize that now and save your self the constant bellyache over the next few weeks.
This is not an indie title. Sega can afford it. Wish ppl would stop coming up with silly narratives like this.
