On one hand, we finally have Rollback Netcode. On the other hand, VF5 IS ALMOST 20 YEARS OLD. I love VF5, don't get me wrong. I LOVE it, I love this entire series. However, we have to move on at some point. We practically missed BOTH fighting game renaissances.
I love Virtua Fighter. It and Soul Calibur are the best 3D fighters imo. But I can't buy VF5 again. We need a new entry. I want to support this to get a future release, I really do, but it'll probably just be another VF5 in 8k/120 fps 10 years from now.
They've talked about VF6 on multiple occasions and reputable leakers have confirmed it is in the works. This just feels like an extra release to help spread VF to more platforms and also test out networking things like rollback out. This is only a positive for the fans. Every franchise has to end eventually and so even if VF6 wasn't already in the works (and it is) it is totally fine to just port existing titles to more platforms.
VF5 final showdown 2 years ago on PS and then now a new update and a Steam version show there is a market for VF. It's slow, but it goes the way to VF6.
At first I was disappointed it wasn't a 6, but I have to appreciate the hustle. PSN exclusivity on 5US/es got Sony to foot the bill for the funding, which was a masterstroke.
I never thought I would see a fighting game franchise come close to the amount of versions street fighter 2 had. SEGA you’re doing your thing 🤣😭😭 I’m also crying
Yeah you're comparing a series that released an update game every years to a series that made 10 games in 30 years. There's more SF2 than the entire vf series. Come the fuck on.
I adore how Ryu Ga Gotuku Studio have been putting VF into yakuza/like a dragon games for so long that they've just kinda been given the series from SEGA
This is great, even the theme tune sounds like Jacky Chan badly singing on his old Kung Fu movies hahaha! VF always nails this vibe, I hope they never change it, it's too unique to die!
Maybe if this version sells X million copies. Which it most likely won't because it's a re-re-re-release. New audiences will be into this for two weeks and then it's back to just the few dozen VF hardcores that are still out there.
By the way, R had the best music in the series in my opinion, by a wide margin. In Final Showdown you could choose a soundtrack from different parts and I only had R!))
I hope eventually companies stop using remakes/remasters to gauge interest and just take a risk sometimes. I’m going to play this but we really want 6 most of us have bought virtua fighter five several times already and that should say plenty enough
Sure, easy to pitch the spending of millions of dollars and thousands of labour hours when it's not YOUR money on the line. Will you rescue the company from bankruptcy if the title fails to sell well?
This way they have an out for letting a franchise rot when nobody buys the same game for the 4th time, and they just say it's because no one is interested anymore. Making you buy an old entry with the carrot of a new entry and stick of keeping the franchise dead is a trick employed by a lot of these Japanese companies like Sega and Capcom, even though it never materializes even when the remaster/collection does sell well.

Thank you so much for listening to us and putting a mainline Virtua Fighter on Steam. I have friends who would love to try this series out for the first time but did not want to play on Playstation
I just realized that this makes 5 different releases of Virtua Fighter 5. Virtua Fighter 5 (original version) Virtua Fighter 5 online Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown (lol) Virtua Fighter 5: Ultimate Showdown Virtua Fighter 5: R.E.V.O.
@@arisumego They haven't announced it but I feel like it would be a selling point if it was meant to happen. The PS4 version is getting the balance update so there's nothing that would stop it, necessarily. The PS4 version would have to be retrofitted with some kind of cross-platform account system to make it work, though.
As you can tell, the word "Virtua" in the title of the game is an abbreviation for the word "Virtual", but the Franchise has evolved with fleshed-out characters, solid world-building and thematic lore, this Series wasn't virtual anymore. Turns out "Virtua" can also be an abbreviation for "Virtue."
