A question for you sir, How come VF4E and even VF4 still look good and are fully playable around 20 years old ? There are even certain animations that look tons better and smoother than anything produced nowadays and I won't speak about the arcade version because it looks phenomenal. I have been playing VF5 since release and jumped to FS and later US. The games are super responsive thanks to their on bullshit animations and realistic approach. Really, when I go on vacation, we have some premium times playing VF together and it just feels like awesome everytime. Back to your videos, thank you so much for them... don't be mad about lack of big hits, they will age so well and benefit many people who will eventually discover this hidden gem
Sorry for the late reply! I've seen interesting discussions about how the later iterations of 4 and 5 had much smaller development teams than their main, numbered release,, resulting in less design influence. There's historically a push/pull in older games between whether it'll be a game driven by design or technology and the balance (for me) in the games you mention actually feels pretty great, where both the design and tech meet at a point where it looks and feels great, but without sacrificing too much from a competitive standpoint. Sometimes constraints like that can be a good thing, I guess!
@@WireManFGC AM2 was really known for their technical strengths back in the day. With 4 and 5, they had to put on arcade boards that produced those amazing visuals while maintaining the technically excellent gameplay. I think having to focus only on the looks and gameplay vs bringing in tons of fillers (story mode, characters endings..etc) helped maintain a certain quality of it. I love the arcade vibes I get when I play the games... Hope they maintain these quality elements if they ever decide to do VF6.... which I'd love very much.
