The old game aged well. The new game looks great, but imagine if they designed it for next gen. VF6 please. Either way really enjoying the game. I hope people stick around for a while.
Good News-Bad News. Good news is that the company that makes these games said they will make Virtua Fighter 6 if FV 5 US does well. Bad news is, they have no plans for it yet and it's ONLY if US does well.
@Budgie Cat Well understand it from their point of view too. Virtua Fighter 5 sold rather poorly. Their job as a company is to make as many profits as popular. If the games they make don't sell well, then why are they making those games? I too want a VF6, but I also get a but of the hesitation Sega has.
I prefer how vivid some of the original stages look, and the use of bloom lighting. Some of the Ultimate showdown stages look so flat, and I think it's because they all utilise the same light source. You notice it in Goh and Brad's stage in particular, where it looks like there's a light above them in the arena; where as in the original VF5 the only light sources are the fires and the floor respectively. They nerfed the SHIT out of El Blaze, Jacky and Akira's stages.
A lot of the stages lost a lot of their "character" in this update. Brad's stage also has LESS color at a glance and a lot of the other stages do as well. It's a real shame cause the lighting on the character models looks great now and the detail on them and the stages alike is also a nice improvement. The stages are clearly suffering as a result, though.
I think Lion and Vanessa's stages might be the biggest let down for me. All that blue glowing was so cool before. Now it just looks like a plain cathedral (which ironically sounds like an oxymoron but still). That sunset jungle look was also one of my favorites. Not sure what they were thinking with that.
Fantastic comparison! You did a great job, it really shows how detailed the new models are. This could have been VF6 if they added a couple new fighters and stages.
...and rebalance the game, and add some new game-modes, and given all the characters new stages, and lots more customization options. There's so much more they'd need than just two characters. What they did here was more than enough to give VF5 some extra legs, but it's no-where near the level of what is needed for Virtua Fighter 6. Tekken 7, Mortal Kombat 11, and every other fighter offers so much more than what VF5:US is giving us. Hopefully sega gets it together.
@@Kensterrrrr and final showdown was bare bones compared to the original. No quest mode and less customization. They had to make the file size super small because it was just a xbla/psn game
A lot of the characters look much better in the Ps5 version, but there are a few that look worse (Wolf being one of them), and the stages are a mixed bag, some are as good or slightly better but some are much worse because of less interesting lighting.
The new faces are so expressive! I'm very impressed at the lengths they went through to modernize this game's graphics. Still, I'd gladly pay for a port of the PS3 version on the Switch.
@@sO_RoNerY Or spectating matches? The stages definitely took and hit in visuals and its because of the engine. I hope they give VF it's own look once the reboot comes out. I personally prefer the way final showdown looks over the remake. So you do have a point.
Of course the new one is better but they need to fix some lighting issues like Shun Di’s level (I’m talking about the columns inside the water). Btw final showdown has aged pretty well
Yeah SEGA AM2 were beasts. At the time there were the best studio in the world. So ahead of their times Since the 80's. VF5 was in arcde in 2005. When we were playing PS2... It's jusr amazing.
Jacky looks way better in the old version in the face and hair. Vanessa's face in the new game looks less realistic than the other characters as if she's a doll. They put in no detail on her skin tone. Also does anybody else think she looks like Halle Berry? Judgement still looks so good that the only thing they really needed to do was update the lighting and texture maps to fix their skin to make them look more realistic.
and have all character's eyes actually animated for all cutscenes at least. Like eyes looking at each other, & looking at camera more, anything other than than leaving them starring at nothing, which adds up to them looking doll-ish, regardless of poly/tex quality.
Imo most of the character models are improved. Going for a realistic look works for VF since it's always been on of the most grounded Fighting Games. Overall most of the models are a nice improvement. The only bad character model I'd say is Jacky, he looks almost unrecognizable, then again that could just be bad camera angles. Tbh, DOA5 perfected how Jacky should look in HD. Sarah on the other hand is honestly the most improved glow up. In the original VF5 and DOA5 they had her look almost, doll-like, where as here she looks alot more natural.
Very big cosmetic change. I was happy the moment they added Ryu ga Gotoku studio behind the redesign since I absolutely respect the yakuza series. Great welcome back to VF for sure. 5:45 Until they let you remove Kages mask, it's hard to call whether they improved his redesign much, but I will say I like the texturing on his Shinobi Shozoku and Zukin.
Yeah!!! It was time for an upgrade. The lighting, texturing, tones are amazing. Getting rid of those gross empty, lifeless areas with the mouth, around the eyes, and heavy eyeshadow is a huge plus.
even though eileen in the new one is much MUCH prettier but in some scene her mouth looks so horrible when she smiled, im talking with one of the winning scene, but other than that she looks great, just a bit too karaoke girl just like in yakuza game
Ultimate showdown is a great facelift ! However Final showdown aged very well for a 9 year old game . I wonder how base 2007 virtua figther 5 would look like in comparaison
The art direction was far superior in the original. Better color balance, interesting model aestehtics, etc. Traded for technical graphic improvements, a half-assed attempt a pseudorealism, and not much else.
I agree. The original already aged better, as way more consistent technically and artistically. It's sad, because somebody does great work on the textures, but lacks in lighting, color balance, composition, atmosphere, and overall art consistency, make it look worse, as somebody couldn't see a big picture.
I like almost all of the new faces. Indeed, Lei-Fei is pretty angry now, Wolf is missing his jaw and Jacky looks a bit different. Jean has been drinking a little bit too much before US :) But all the rest did benefit from the update. Not sure what people complain about.
One thing I have to say about this game is that this game is very bare boned... no quest mode, no single player vs computer, time trial, and due to the game being on a completely new engine, all of the cool customizable items have all been removed... also some of the other modes that were removed as well...
@@CANADAKRUSH1 The only dlc there is, is the retro polygonal models. They made everything from the ground up. Meaning that all of the customizable parts are all gone. Including the ex item win animations as well from final showdown. All gone...
@@ShinMegamiTensei1 is not only retro costumes, it comes with all the customizable things for the base roster aswell, but the customization is a bit toned down due to the new engine
Thanks for making this vid! IMO the chars that look better in US are the ones that look more old or tough like Lau, Shun, Taka, Goh and Brad. And also the exception is Pai and Aoi got lucky with pretty soft faces. Lei, Sarah and Lion don't look their best lol. Those eye bags on Lei, sheesh! But lets support VF guys so they make a VF6!!!!!!
The cristicism with some of the faces remembers me of Injustice 2 original Aquaman's face, which unlike Wonder Woman's one, had 0 concrete & clear complaints about what exactly was wrong with it, but NRS got the memo an used a younger and more holywood model (same with Super-Girls's original face, she was not exactly ugly but she had a too common face, definitively not the comic book heroine-style face). Except here it's more like people wanting the old "anime" style back.
@@СергейХалапов-ш7в Are you seriously claiming DOA6 looks better? If you're refering to artstyle, than feel free to think that way since DOA6 is way more anime compared to this, but graphic wise the character models are superior.
They kinda miss the mark with characters with european features like Lion and Jacky. Feels like they tweaked some generic faces from Yakuza to make them fit the models.
Yeah Jacky is hard to look at in US which is sad because he’s one of my mains. I guess updating American characters is tough for Sega. Although Sarah and Vanessa( gtfo of here with that “unknown country” bullshit Sega) do look pretty good.
The new VF is PERFECT! I just hope the next game will have more characters than 2-3. We need a story mode too! What kind of new fighters & martial arts you want VF to implement next?
Agreed, a story mode is long overdue for VF. It doesn't need to be much, a simple bit of text and some 2D artwork for the cutscenes would suffice. The cast of 1991's Street Fighter II has more personality than the VF roster, and the endings are a big reason why. I would like to see Capoeira, Boxing, and MMA added to the list of fighting styles.
In the old game, some faces looked much more simplistic and cartoonish than the rest: Sarah, Eileen, Aoi, Vanessa and Jeffry, mainly. Those are a thousand times better in the remake. The other characters also look much better now, although there are a few ones where I prefer the old version: Akira, Lion, Lei Fei and El Blaze.
For some reason I like the more simplified models better in a lot of ways. Some of the stages too. And is it just me or does ultimate show down have less customization?
Indeed. One of my favorite things to do in Final Showdown was to unlock costumes pieces and customize the characters so they resembled what they looked like in the previous games. (and unlocking Dural, which were really the only nuggets of content the games even remotely had.)
Jeffrey looks soooo good in US, but Lion's face got rekt, as did Lei-Fei and Jean's. Vanessa looks like a black woman again which I greatly appreciate, her old model was very strange. Pai, Eileen, and Aoi are so much prettier and clothes overall look more realistic.
Imo Akira, taka, lion, Jacky, and wolf's faces look better in the PS3 version also the textures in the clothes on the PS3 version has better reflections than the remake of the remake lol.
@Budgie Cat I didn't even know about the vf4 Akira looking different in the arcades so I'm gonna have to check it out, thanks. And I see that makes total sense with the dragon engine however you don't like lei fei's face model? He looks more asian and evil this go around in which is to my understanding his storyline as a evil monk like Feng from tekken.
@Budgie Cat I agree with the way that Sarah looks as well, but at least it looks more human like I guess however she could look a little more Caucasian than anime looking lol.
There are pros and cons to both honestly. Making games 'realistic' has really hit a wall. Modern graphics kinda are meh to me. i just dont care. They havent improved in the last 10 years really, I mean after PS4/Xbox One they reached such a level, that there really isnt much improvement with the new consoles, compared to the difference between former generations. Look at the difference between SNES and NES. Or between PS1 and PS2, between Saturn and Dreamcast, between SNES and N64, between Game Boy and Game Boy Advance, and GBA/DS,,, the improvements were always so big back then. Once we got to the PS3/Xbox360 era, it really hasn't improved a insane amount. Shit even some original Xbox games still look fucking amazing. And that's why I feel like consoles are obsolete. They only limit what you can do and what you can play. I cant possibly fathom someone wanting a PS5 or new Xbox, when a great PC can play literally any console anyways, Emulation has come so far that it's not even emulation anymore, you can literally load a game's files on your PC and play that game. Plus you get modding, editing, fangames, romhacks, 10000s of custom levels and gametypes, basically free DLC. Why pay for DLC when you can get user made content free with PC gaming?
* Some fighters look like they 're posseded or something . Before or after lol * Old levels had def. too much bloom * Some skin tones look better but they removed the silvershiny mask on "Hot dooog"-guy. Im still waiting for my DLC costumes :I
OK there’s two mistakes with lion he has a skull necklace in the old previous game but in the new game he doesn’t And wolf freeze breath was in the previous game but his freeze breath wasn’t in a new game
I am not sure about Ultimate Showdown, some of them side by side looks better, others look worse or as if the game is being run on low settings. For example 1:47 Final Showdown has some good post processing effects with their bloom/raytracing, the way the lights on the house are pretty bright and even reflects off of the character, where as Ultimate Showdown, all the lightings are the same which makes it look bland, I understand that the character is more detailed and it's UHD, but to me it just looks unpolished in some areas. It could just be my preferences, but some characters just look better in Final Showdown than in Ultimate Showdown, like [Lion] in 1:10; [Lei-Fei] in 2:50; [Vanessa] in 4:30. Seeing as it is a remaster, it has its own problems, but if I get to play it on modern consoles, I guess I'll take what I can get.
It's probably just me, but I love some of the color palettes and lighting more of the stages in the PS3 version over the PS5 version
Yea they were pretty, but they were hell on the eyes after a while
It’s clearly better
Definitely not here though 1:07 remake brings a lot more color and makes it less cooler in color as well
The new one looks like an iPhone game
Yeah, I totally agree
The old game aged well. The new game looks great, but imagine if they designed it for next gen. VF6 please. Either way really enjoying the game. I hope people stick around for a while.
I don’t like the new designs of the characters....... some characters look good and some look like they tried to hard and it looks terrible 💀

Jacky is slowly morphing into Billy Idol.

Huge huge improvement to the graphics and the stages update are outstanding now add more new character and dlc.
Very nice comparison. 👍👍👍
After so many releases, Pai Chan finally doesn't look like a monster. 🤣🤣🤣👍
Textures and stages look better but some character faces look noticeably bad compared to the old ones.
I preffer the faces in VF5FS. Other than that, the remake looks better.
You prefer the clay mudded look? Oh ok....
One undeniable problem here, but the only one imo, is the anti-aliasing choice. The characters' hair are very aliased.
I think that's a problem of the engine, because the Yakuza games have the same issue
Those who improved the look the most were Jeffry, Pai Chan, Eileen and Goh.
Wolf didn't improve almost at all, I was disappointed with him.
For some reason I like the more simplified models better in a lot of ways. Some of the stages too.

Thats dlc, it also includes every song from the previous games.
From VF5?
I'll stick with the original VF Final Showdown, thanks! A more natural, familiar and better character modeling.
Sarah looks way better. I hated those thick bangs she had in VF5, her new look in Ultimate Showdown matches up more with her look from older games.

Which is which, I can't make my mind up, which one is better, is the PS5 version on the left or the right???
I know this is a late response. The one on the right is the PS5 Version
their new nose is lit and curvy
Imo Akira, taka, lion, Jacky, and wolf's faces look better in the PS3 version also the textures in the clothes on the PS3 version has better reflections than the remake of the remake lol.

@Budgie Cat I agree with the way that Sarah looks as well, but at least it looks more human like I guess however she could look a little more Caucasian than anime looking lol.
desaturating the colors is sacrilege. Still though i'm loving that the game made any return at all.
Dragon Engine doing some _good_ work here.
Vanessa look fine
They look less like Shenmue characters and more like real people now. Not crazy about Lion's new look, but everyone else is fine.
I feel like it the facial expression being the problem more than the character models.
I don’t play the game, but I always love a graphics comparison

Plus you get modding, editing, fangames, romhacks, 10000s of custom levels and gametypes, basically free DLC. Why pay for DLC when you can get user made content free with PC gaming?
Final showdown is better tho. The old onr just gives so much memories in general but the lighting etc is always way better
Lol now they really look like the character photos from Final💪
Characters looked like they were from Smackdown vs Raw
Nice comparison !!!
* Some fighters look like they 're posseded or something . Before or after lol
* Old levels had def. too much bloom
* Some skin tones look better but they removed the silvershiny mask on "Hot dooog"-guy.
Im still waiting for my DLC costumes :I
I wish Vanessa's updated face sculpt was more animated. Her mouth barely moves when she speaks.
They should have just improved the lighting and skin of the characters.
Rather than to remake part 5, Sega Japan should've the courage to allow AM-2 to make part 6 a year or two after Final Showdown was released.
Uh, did El Blaze just change into jeans?
OK there’s two mistakes with lion he has a skull necklace in the old previous game but in the new game he doesn’t And wolf freeze breath was in the previous game but his freeze breath wasn’t in a new game
Anyone else kept thinking their video was lagging?
This made me miss that cornball dialogue even more
Kage's stage not taking place during Winter was a missed opportunity.
UFF! The New Umenokoji and Eileen
I am not sure about Ultimate Showdown, some of them side by side looks better, others look worse or as if the game is being run on low settings.
For example 1:47
Final Showdown has some good post processing effects with their bloom/raytracing, the way the lights on the house are pretty bright and even reflects off of the character, where as Ultimate Showdown, all the lightings are the same which makes it look bland, I understand that the character is more detailed and it's UHD, but to me it just looks unpolished in some areas.
It could just be my preferences, but some characters just look better in Final Showdown than in Ultimate Showdown, like [Lion] in 1:10; [Lei-Fei] in 2:50; [Vanessa] in 4:30.
Seeing as it is a remaster, it has its own problems, but if I get to play it on modern consoles, I guess I'll take what I can get.
What did they do to my girl Eileen?!
She’s still cute, but she looks awkward to me. I guess because she’s looked like that for so long.
Lol She now looks like Saeko from Yakuza 7
Damm what an visual update. Hope this game comes to PC.
So the US side is the remake? Most of the models look way better on the US side
Disminuyeron la iluminacion y detalles de escenarios para mejorar a los personajes,
Some of the face expression is kinda weird in the newer version tbh
1:27 Lipstick Wolf XD
Is that official update and for what platform?
you can play virtua fighter 5 ultimate showdown on ps4. as far as i know, it's ps4 exclusive.
