The environs in VF5 look incredible... but the actual fighters? Not so much. DOA4 had FAR less jaggies, incredibly better textures, and just look at the difference in the cloth. DOA4's clothing looks like real silk. Tekken's looks like... well.. polygons with textures on them.

As with previous installments, this game will deliver to core fans. But in general, Tekken's still lagging behind in some odd areas.

Anerythristic266979d ago

DOA 4 does look better. I think Virtua Fighter is the better game though.

Marty83706979d ago

Simply awesome.Japs love this game,VF5 will sell the PS3.

TheMART6979d ago

Another?

Like... which one at this point in time?

All games that were hyped up are or less then the 360 versions cross platform, or just allright to good games on the PS3.

Resistance is good, but COD3 is better. And the best version is on 360. Gears tops them all

Motorstorm is good, but not an AAA. And there are at least 2 upcoming titles that will kick it.

So well. First see then believe. As far as we've seen know, games on PS3 have less texture, less lightning, washed out colors as if wrong washing powder is used.

As far as I'm concerned, there are two allright games on PS3, Resistance and Motorstorm. And I wouldn't call them AAA titles.

Killer-app is defined as the application that is capable of being 'run-able' on that specific system only, and any other system running it would be bound to loose much content and features.

Here's around-up of PS3 killer-apps in the launch window:

"Resistance": is a killer-app because it features a record making 40 players online, and managing of 3D objects totally manipulatable onscreen like destroying of buildings and rodusing debris and NPC bodies that remain intact and not disappear...using Cell's potential, and no other system out there can do that easily, PLUS the game contentis 16 GB in size, even more that a HD-DVD, so this is PS3 potential specific feature as well, with all these exclusive feature set, Resistance makes one hell of a killer-app, even at launch. Everybody agrees that 360 had its first after 1 whole year(gears), and even that is a GPU killer-app only and does nothing more that that. COD3 Hah !, is a bugs filled game that uses Unreal Engine to try to reach there where 3d objects define the world rather than crappy normal mapped textures.

"MotorStorm": is a PS3 killer-app for it not only actually starts the next-gen with insanely interactive physical world, but also defines what RSX can do beyond any other GPU out there in fields of HDR, particle FX, hi-quality textures and hi-pallete colouring schemes. Total deformation of ground and vehicle destruction upto the level of MotorStorm can only be done on CELL...PLUS, its not only physics simulations, its procedural synthesis which I now start to believe that 360 can only dream of.

"Heavenly Sword": You know, Wow !!!, everything from hair, cloth, water and clouds are procedural, PLUS the NVA-32 colour system is a RSX only and is utterly not done-able on 360 and not existing on current PC GPUs yet.

"Lair": HaHaHa ! WOW !!!, man you need to check Wikipedia article for it to understand what level of next-gen technology is being done for this title all thanks to Cell and RSX and all procedural. 360 cries where Lair exists.

"Virtua Fighter 5": I know TheMart and other 360 fan-bs are accustomed to textures only, and what else have they ever seen ??? HaHaHa. Well, VF5 is been around 4 months before DOA4 launched and still it has features that Itagaki, due to in-competence, couldn't put into DOA4.
-VF5 has models detailed even to sweat and pores on skin !!!, DOA4 HaHaHa still plastic models.
-VF5 has simulated water, DOA4, well an animated texture !
-VF5 has perfect clipping and cloth simulation. DOA4 features utterly buggy clipping and ribbon like hair.
-VF5 features true and authentic Martial Arts simulation. Well, you know DOA4 is fun but its not worked even upon after first moves-set.
-VF5 has deformable snow and sand, highly dynamic backgrounds with windstorms and lightning, and beautiful tunable AI, DOA4's only true-interactive stage is the beach one, the rest is well...bland !!!

Now the only killer-app 360 has:

'Gears': Best use of Unreal Engine 3.0 ever, which is basically nothing special. No procedural synthesis, no physics simulation, no vehicular gameplay, only 6-hours of game-length, typical gameplay, only 3-4 NPCs onscreen, story bugs, story-mode done like god of war(PS2), camera like Resident Evil 4(PS2), so nothing special for PS2 owners at all who will be getting PS3. The only good of gears is the best normal mapped textures ever...big deal Hah !

Anerythristic266979d ago (Edited 6979d ago )

That was alot of OPINION there. Good damage control. I'm also glad that you seem to be an expert on what the PS3 can do and what the 360 can't do. One problem when 90% of actual video game development houses disagree with you , your argument tends to fall apart.

Oh and I'm impressed by the CELL but really the RSX is an underpowered joke.

Grown Folks Talk6975d ago

tried to give the ps2 credit for resident evil 4, when it was out first and according to most, better on the gamecube. it's also amazing to me how there are only 2-4 npcs on gears, yet there are 3 other people fighting with you most of the time. so that means there is only 1 enemy trying to beat your group at all times. my eyes must be tricking me into thinking there are more people.

THE TRUTH6979d ago

So far we have 2 of the biggest 360 fanboys doing "damage control"

All I have to say is DOA4 doesn't even deserved to be mentioned on this topic!
Any _real_ fighting game fan, you know the one that appreciates gameplay and depth over graphics, would easily tell you DOA4 and the DOA franchise as a whole is pathetic!

Come on fanboys stop acting ignorant! This game looks phenomenal!! And you know it will have truly awesome gameplay that GAMERS and fighting game fans will love!

Stop your whinning and complaining and your crying! Thank MS for bringing you such great fighting games to your 360, I'm sure they have a developer somewhere that could make a very good FPF/TPF (first person or Third person fighter) probably using the UR3 engine

All jokes aside though, anyone who thinks DOA4 is in anyway superior is an ignorant fanboy, might as well get a tatto of bill gates sack on your chin! Pathetic fanboys

calderra6979d ago

You can be in whatever gameplay camp you want (personally- I hate Tekken's control scheme, and that's just my preference)... but both DOA and Tekken have major followings and are huge parts of the industry. Ya gotta remember, they were both PS2 staples at one time, and Sony fans were all about the DOA back then.

But couldn't Tekken's developers bother to at least equal their competitor in graphics, considering DOA4 will be over a year old by Tekken's launch? Especially with the supposed power of the PS3, shouldn't they easily be able to demolish DOA4 in graphics?

And you can't say "oh, but they focused on gameplay"- look at those backgrounds! They spend a LOT of time making the environments look top-notch, but they left the character models looking like crap (comparitively)...

Wassupwitdat?
I bring up my points for Tekken fans too.

The great 16979d ago (Edited 6979d ago )

You are such an idiot, after eading your last five posts i can only say i've never heard such stupidity talk in my life each comment sounded like it was getting more desperate and hatefull then the last and it's clear this game is a cut above the rest of the fighting games out right now, so you really should stop talking crap, plus have you ever played RFOM, no i don't think you have so how the hell fo you know if it's a killer app or not, far as i'm concerned it looks really great and i will find out tommorow when my PS3 arrives which i purchsed off Ebay for £427 20GB version, i mean i never said GOW wasen't a killer app, but to me it looks like an iritaiting game, however just because i don't like the look of it doesn't mean it's a bad game, as for the comparison trailers i hope you watched them in HD because i couldn't watch them in HD because my monitor wont support HD, plus the normall versions looked good, but you need to se HD to see the real deal here!

Panzer Dragoon Saga HD ?? Shining Force 4 or 3 hd ?? Phantasy Star V ??..................

ZeekQuattro128d ago

Panzer Dragoon maybe. I don't see Sega touching those other ips unfortunately. I at least wish they would do a Shining Force collection that includes SFIII.

Pergele127d ago

Shining Force 3 collection or 4 with 2D graphics will always be my most wanted game.

Agent75127d ago

Please, no RPGs. Sick of all these SEGA games for the Japanese market.

Lightning77128d ago

jet Set Radio, Gunvalkyrie, Otogi, please let it be. Jetset is by far the most realistic one to show up. One can hope for the other 2.

Agent75127d ago

SEGA's game catalogue has been a bit naff after the Xbox 360 and PS4. Stop those Mega Drive/Genesis collections and move onto arcade classics, some which never got released on consoles. Not sure what's happened to the new Crazy Taxi and Golden Axe etc., but the likes of Virtua Racing, Super Hang On, ESWAT and maybe even Alien Storm are due sequels.

FinalFantasyFanatic127d ago

Persona 6 and Skies of Arcadia remaster/port please, there's heaps you could surprise me with, and I'd probably be happy with it.

Sgt_Slaughter1691d ago

What is?

Witcher III, Slay the Spire, Virtua Fighter 5, and Sonic Mania are an excellent lineup of titles to add.

Smok911691d ago (Edited 1691d ago )

Lol thanks for your thoughts. Let’s now collectively disagree.

waderae1691d ago

How can you disagree with virtua fighter 5? You haven't played it. It's not out.

Hawk1986661690d ago

All the disagreeing are fools. You thinking adding a 6yrs old game thats timed, that's on sale nearly all the time for cheap is a great addition as the main game?? 2 of the games are previous PS+ games so a lot will already have them. And Virtua Fighter nearly everyone will already have that through plus! You're all Clueless

SegaSaturn6691691d ago

Those are great titles. Real treat.

Rocosaurus1691d ago

Love witcher 3, but that game is six years old.

Eidolon1691d ago

Great great game. Would need another playthrough (Gwent and horse racing) to get the platinum, plus I never bought/played the expansions.

monkey6021691d ago

Slay the Spire is an incredible game

Highrevz1691d ago

Agreed but I almost slept on it if I’m honest.

It’s like a traditional turn based RPG without the dramatic story. Monster Train is another good game if you need something similar to Slay the Spire.

monkey6021691d ago

I've heard that actually. Not played it yet though. Good shout!

10 Fighting Games That Deserve To Be Resurrected Next-Gen

Although fighting games are entering a new Golden Age, there's a number of franchises that deserve to be brought back.

darthv722137d ago

I'd love to see Sega bring back Eternal Champions.

BlackTar1872137d ago

Why is there no Star Gladiator or Battle Arena Toshinden?

Terry_B2137d ago

Because the other 10 mentioned series were better. Star Gladiator 2 was just the first part with more characters, Battle Arena Toshinden went really downhill after the 2nd game.

BlackTar1872137d ago (Edited 2137d ago )

o got it. Cause you said those games aren't as good... Got it.

since Battle 1&2 were pretty damn good and Star Gladiator 1 was very good those sound like perfect games to remake.

Also saying a fighting game is the same as it's predecessor with more characters sums up like 90% of all sequel fighting games.

Also BA3 was not a bad game and wasn't given a bad reception.

Skuletor2137d ago (Edited 2137d ago )

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

Silly gameAr2137d ago

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.

BlackTar1872137d ago

Primal Rage was good. There was also another game that was kinda like Weaponlord that I used to really like but I can't remember the name.

Ready to Rumble was cool back int he day as well

Ninver2137d ago

Rival schools and virtual fighters
