huge virtua fighter fan, and i remember looking at screen grabs in magazines from this video and being enamored with it. I also remember the first time I saw VF3 in motion, in person. I was blown away.
It must be pretty hard for a kid today to appreciate how mind-blowing this was in 1996. This was when the N64, which hadn't even come out yet, was considered jaw-dropping. This was almost a full generation ahead of that, on par with a lot of early PS2 stuff in a lot of ways. Sega's arcade hardware team was just amazing back then.
I remember reading about this promo in Gamepro Magazine, years ago. It was actually privately screened only for certain people and developers at E3, in '96.
This game was developed in the year I was _born_. I mean, the Model 3 hardware had some memorable games: Lost World (albeit really hard to play, especially in one credit), Harley-Davidson LA Riders, Daytona USA 2, Star Wars Trilogy and even Super GT/Scud Race. I had fun playing all these...
I remember seeing VF3 for the first time in 1997... It looks a little silly today, but to 1997 me, this was the first time I thought games might eventually convincingly represent reality. I don't think there's ever been such a huge leap in graphical fidelity before or since.
1996: People couldn't wait to get this game to fight with all of the characters and new ones. 2013: Since people don't have their Dreamcast anymore, they still want the game back for memories.
@GotNextVideo Model 3 hardware was designed by Lockeed Martin. Those guys worked for the US Military and had top-notch technology. I think Model 3 is even more powerful than Dreamcast/Naomi that came out 3 years later.
Rather than developing a sumo wrestler, AM-2 should've made a fighter that had a simple body size since they had realized Taka-Arashi was impossible to work for VF4 series and the first VF5.
+Yes Imsure Sounds like a dream come true if Suzuki Yu is to come back and lead to AM-2: now's impossible because Shemue is now back on track. Since Satomi Haruki admitted to Sega's failure on making better quality games, lets hope Virtua Fighter 6 brings back on what the series was with the first three. I hope the developers make the line-up even numbers since they only released one original fighter.
Bow down to the brilliance of sega's various arcade divisions and technology, untouchable.
Nobody can create the thrills and excitement of arcade gaming like... SEGA!
6:10 this part is creepy as hell. That environment doesn't exist in the actual game, but I'm pretty sure the cube map is still projected on Dural.
imagine going from super mario world, and sonic 2 to this.
this graphical leap was so brutal at the time.

hoy en día conserva todo su potencial esta placa, es increíble lo que montaron en el año 1996

Vol. 2?

@GotNextVideo I concur.
Ahhh, the memeories ;)

***** Agree though they ended up struggling to make Taka appear thoroughly in VF4's making.

2 years later. And it was not... But still even more impressive than Naomi/DC for its time.
They did jack so wrong in this 😂
