Gamepro: Virtua Fighter 5 Review

Sega's longstanding fighting series finally arrives on the PS3. It can be described in one word: Amazing.

The Virtua Fighter series, in its more than decade-long history, has always been respected for its contribution to the fighting game genre. After all, the original Virtua Fighter was the first 3D fighting game to be released and essentially paved the way, blocky-pixels and all, for other 3D fighters like Tekken, Dead or Alive, and Soul Calibur. Now, after plenty of anticipation, the Virtua Fighter franchise is finally making its next-gen debut on Sony's slick black box and it's never looked, or played, better.

they are sold out over here makes me wonder if i should pre-order motorstorm hmmmm tommorow morning i will i want my copy :D

spacetoilet7043d ago

Kick ass! Beautiful presentation and graphics and timings are arcade perfect as far as I can tell. ( I played arcade version allot last summer in Tokyo). The graphics are so crisp and the colours are really full and nice. How come Sega (am2) can get games looking this good, but we are seeing washed out 'blurry' images on multi platform games such as cod2 and Nba street? Well anyway, if you like fighting games and have a ps3, (or a 360 for that matter as its coming out soon on that too) I highly recommend this game. Stay with it, learn the techniques, and you will really be addicted.

This game Should be online

I hope sony are Thinking about it.

Shadow7038d ago

No, it shouldn't

The problem with fighting games that require accuracy up to several milliseconds/frames is that it falls WELL into the latency of the average broadband connection. Games such as Soul Calibur and VF would need to be reduced down to their simplest forms (like DOA) in order to work online, and frankly, that's no game I'd want to play.

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

ZeekQuattro267d 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.

Pergele267d ago

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

Agent75266d ago

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

Lightning77267d 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.

Agent75266d 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.

FinalFantasyFanatic266d 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.

What is?

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

Smok911830d ago (Edited 1830d ago )

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

waderae1830d ago

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

Hawk1986661829d 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

SegaSaturn6691830d ago

Those are great titles. Real treat.

Rocosaurus1830d ago

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

Eidolon1830d ago

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

monkey6021830d ago

Slay the Spire is an incredible game

Highrevz1830d 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.

monkey6021830d ago

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

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

BlackTar1872276d ago

Why is there no Star Gladiator or Battle Arena Toshinden?

Terry_B2276d 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.

BlackTar1872276d ago (Edited 2276d 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.

Skuletor2276d ago (Edited 2276d 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 gameAr2276d 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.

BlackTar1872276d 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

Ninver2276d ago

Rival schools and virtual fighters
