Something max missed in the Harada's Bar thing is that Harada had brought out some Takoyaki as a break snack a couple times during the interview, the ones on the first plate were placed in the shape of a V, the second plate later in the interview was placed in the shape of an F. Then Aoki held the plate up and made the statement "It kind of looks like a 6, doesn't it?" V F 6
I cannot stress enough how correct Max is about how every VF was a new benchmark in 3D fighters (if not all video games). Polygons, textures, reflections, tracking eyes, uneven floors and the physics involved, utilization of proximity moves close to walls, etc. the list goes on and on. It is obvious, with the series inactivity, it would be a hard sell to outspend every other 3D fighter on the market to deliver groundbreaking graphics. But Max is on to something here with the netcode and crossplay. Learn from others and the FGC's needs during the pandemic, but go even further beyond. That is where the investment could best reach a level of distinction similar to the prior iterations. Sega already branded the latest re-release as Esports, so why not go all-in on player connectivity? I kind of disagree with the posts about a story mode. I think the focus should return to essentially VF4: Evolution's Quest Mode. This time, instead of computer AIs in arcades across Tokyo, the game could focus on real online players in regional arcades across the world. VF's narrative works best on doubling down on the aspect of a kumite tournament and those results. Not so much anything to do with a cinematic conflict playing out with the fate of "Virtua City" at stake.
Id say online and offline quest mode seeing as doing it purely online gives it an exportation date and more over someone might not want to play with people
"killer Instinct" arcade was the most was a new benchmark in 3D fighters as long as graphics and gameplay.......for a start it was the first ever arcade cabinet to have a HDD (in my opinion)
Give us a fully fledged out "Story Mode" we need to be immersed into the characters and know what's going on instead of just instruction booklets from the past...
Yes. I also posted the same about story mode at Rooflemonger video. VF has badass anime Tv series and they even wrote lore / background story for every character inside the booklet manual. But it’s weird that Sega never make story mode in the game.
Yeah for real Virtua Fighter characters actually have really cool ongoing lore going on that for some reason is not showcased in any of the games outside of the manuals, Virtua Fighter Kids and Pachinko machines. Idk how they went so long thinking arcade endings being absent was cool despite all that effort lol
@@bumpyface228 Games take longer to make than they used to, and a lot of those 4-5 year old releases have sequels that are confirmed in every way except officially
@@LeiChaobruh So I've learned a little bit about the game making process over the years. Can you elaborate on how "games take longer to make than they used to?" I would think that games can be produced faster now with perks like day one update ability via the internet.
@@bumpyface228 I'm not gonna fully honor your question because you act like a pompous, arrogant ass. But, if you were alive and conscious in those earlier days you would know from experience that they came out more frequently. Tekken for example has released games in these years - 94,95,96,99,01,04,07,11,15 and the new one isn't even out in 21. Probably gonna be 23 or something. So no, you clearly don't know the first thing about development. And patches don't and shouldn't count as production, even if modern game studios use it as a way to release unfinished games.
I really really really love VF. Was one of the last few that stuck around on ps3 back when FS first came out. There's nothing more that I'd love to see VF back in the spotlight with good netcode. I'm telling you that's all it takes these days, give us the netcode we need and we'll support the HELL out of that game. I still play vf5 now on ps4, not as much as I'd like to due to the netcode not being the best, but I'll still support this game and sing it's praise. Virtua Fighter 6 would be an amazing thing to see.
@@MuhammadAli-xw4yc I did this too just before the ps4 one came out as a refresher! I could do Akira's knee online vs jp way easier than I could even on ps4. I really hope we get vf6!!
I really wish that Konami, who are getting back into the video game business again, possibly, tries this with Bloody Roar, because that's a game I would love to see brought back.
@@BIastProcX That's what I heard they were going to do, get back into the business, after the success of the Castlevania Advance pack and the new rules restricting the gambling games they pump out.
Honestly, the best of both worlds is to have a porting house (Hi M2 and Bluepoint, SPECIFICALLY those two porting houses, and only those two since Konami has a good working relationship with them and got quality products out of them) just compile the Bloody Roar games into a collection and re-release them, warts and all.
I just want to say to all - WE NEED MORE 3D FIGHTERS ON THE GOSH DARN MARKET!!! - We have 4, Soul Calibur, DoA, Tekken, Virtua Fighter. New 3D fighters, NEW Idea's. We have a metric F'ton of 2D fighter but too small of a selection of 3D fighting games.
There will probably never be any more brand new 3D fighter franchises. The legacy fighters we have are the last we're ever getting, and they can only make the numbers work because they're copy-pasting their moveset animations from previous games. Anyone creating a new franchise is going to make it a 2D fighter, because it's a lot less work per character, and they're mostly using licensed characters from anime etc that fans will buy regardless of whether it's 2D or 3D gameplay. So yeah, support VF, Tekken and Soul Calibur. We've probably lost DoA forever. We're down to 2 or 3 games depending on VF's future. If VF doesn't get rebooted, we're down to 2 games under a single company with Harada no longer in charge. Tekken will definitely get another game in the series, but after that nothing is guaranteed. Namco isn't committed to fighting games like SNK or ArcSys, they make whatever genre sells best for the development budget invested.
I'm not as big on VF but it's weird how it hasn't made a comeback when a lot of 3D fighting game counterparts like Tekken and SoulCal are doing really well in the mainstream FGC right now. I feel like it's long overdue since VF5 is like 15 years old lol
@@215jphilly Improve in....what way? You mean make easier/improve? SC definitely made some questionable choices while Tekken has done a good job staying true to the series in terms of depth, difficulty, execution, etc.
You gotta include many other factors. Like the ps3 version of VF5 vanilla not having online (which more of the fan base would play had they got the chance) yet the Xbox 360 version did (and it ain't exactly a household name over at Xbox especially in Japan) at a time where online with fighters were catching on since the og xbox Not to mention they've only released VF5 updates whereas other 3d contemporaries (or just fighting games period) kept up the numbered entries (quality of T6 aside which I found meh) plus FG audiences gravitating more towards more insane character designs and atmosphere compared to the more lax VF. And that's shit I can think of on the top of my head. Sega also tend to pay attention more to the Japanese arcades than console overseas. Hell, VF5R still has no console rerelease of any kind. All this is kinda funny that it was VF5 when the series started to REALLY fade away from popularity despite a being pretty polished entry in the series with many changes in gameplay. So it wasn't like the formula got stale.
I want VF6 to has a good Voice Acting with more cheesy lines like "Here comes my suplex" or "Presenting the Brad Show" or whatever they come up with, I'd love it.
Here are one of my thoughts about the best ideas for Virtua Fighter 6 (besides the obvious request for rollback netcode) -A Story Mode: that should play and feels just like the arcades while it only has story elements rather than being a storyteller -A Tutorial Mode: with all kinds of sensible ways to play the game the right way -A Demonstration Mode: were it shows off all the VF characters martial art skills -A Bio Mode: that recaps the characters previous days in their past life with the use of the narrator or text-only -A Museum Mode: that shows us the old days of sega developing Virtua Fighter, and their Artworks, and their Prototypes -A Survival Mode: were you fight your way by beating every opponent as possible in order to reach for the highest score, even if you lose just one match -A Time Attack Mode: were you play up to 30+ matches against the CPU players at a faster time rate -AND FINALLY! A Quest Mode: were it puts you through an accelerating journey by going through a full course run in the arcades before getting entered in the tournaments while obtaining rewards from each of those tourneys and then it plays a really interesting ending sequence for completing quest mode and it shows a surprised message from the VF team. Now can something like this become a dream come or what??? because clearly i want that to happen one of these days. i really do! I REALLY DO!
"Flashy", by its nature, kinda goes against the core gameplay of VF. All they could do is improve the camerawork and impact effects, because every other element of fighting game "flash" would result in ruining the game feel for some. Just like Tekken 7 and SoulCal 6 did, with their comeback mechanics, supers, guard break meter and soul charge installs in SC6, nerfing movement and defense in T7 while universally buffing wall carry and damage output, etc. As a long time fan of all the 3D fighters (for 19 years), T7 and SC6 are some of the worst in their series' IMO. They changed the game feel too much for me to enjoy them much. Meanwhile, DoA6 and VF5US feel the closest to the spirit of the entries that made me a fighting game fan.
Personally, I don’t think me and my bro deserve thanks (we downloaded it ASAP when it came out along with the DLC). I feel like the developers of VF4 and our father deserve thanks because without our father, we probably would have never gotten or known about VF (and thanks to the VF4 devs for making such an incredible game with the greatest, most in depth tutorial mode in fighting games history fight me). As for Max’s suggestions for the next installment, I agree up until the Free To Play aspect. It COULD work but I think the best option would be the Killer Instinct model. Free to play with a rotating fighter every week. More characters of the base roster to purchase either individually or as bundles. Same with future characters. Making them ALL free to use though just seems fucking insane. I think that’s Max’s enthusiasm getting ahead of him. Overall, I’m just fucking happy the series might be continuing. VF4 was my first fighting game as a young ass little kid and it’s been my favorite series gameplay wise ever since (Tekken has my heart with its style and personality but VF gameplay will always be second to none)
Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown is my game of 2021. Love the Yakuza dlc also. Hopefully we get 6 in the future, I also feel like they could add one or more new characters to this current game and people will pay 👍
I think it’s the best beat-em up this year. I loved Tekken 7 (when I was playing it in 2018/9 - I think it was 2018🤔). Tekken 7 got really old when Dead or Alive 6 had come out, and even that game didn’t do well (apparently?). In the interview, it looks like VF 6 will happen (just not on the Xbox), also VF US was a PC made game.
@@KevinLawson Yea Tekken 7 is one of my faves also. I mained Nina, Anna & Zarina, who were your mains? I touched Dead or Alive 6 a little bit, but I didn't enjoy it as much as 5. I really hope we get Virtua Fighter 6 with great online like Max stated, maybe even a story mode for it would be cool.
@@billydeez25 well, I use Asuka Kazama, in Tekken 7 otherwise I did love Kazuya Mishima and his son Jin (in Tekken 1,2,3). But Jun Kazama was most probably the one of the best fighting characters I had picked (along with Pai and Sarah form VF and Ryu from SF). But seen as she was only in Tekken 2, I was lost on who to use. I don’t feel like VF needs a story mode, give it a challenge mode or something like that. I’m just hoping it gets a western release along with a Xbox release (I’m not buying a PS just for one game laugh out loud).
I love VF, it was easily my most played game in college. Even though it was much bigger back then, it was still kind of the underdog. Now, hardly anyone has played it, but I'm glad to hear how relatively successful the new release of 5 was and that there is a chance more could come. Especially if they could get Yu Suzuki to be a part of it. Apparently in an interview just in 2019, he said if he came back to Sega, it would be to make the next Virtua Fighter.
I hear ya. But I think You Suzuki lost his talent(s). He is legendary. But his major cockup with Shenmue 4 in general, the fighting system, and perhaps crushing Sega back in the day with the series was maybe the end of his greatness. At least that's where I'm at. Not sure I want him anywhere near VF 6 personally.
@@gogreengameon2146 You have some valid concerns, but someone needs to lead it, and I still feel some random lead at Sega would even more likely mess it up than Yu Suzuki.
I remember trying out an old vf cabinet at a local pizza shop when I was a kid, but really got into it this year with US. I'm looking forward to what comes of all this!
I've never been a Virtua Fighter fan. But I did download the game & buy the DLC, because I want it to return. Having more series like this is good because it's better for them to have direct competition to push them to be better & improve.
VF really is like, a zero-narrative apart from Jacky and Sarah being brother and sister, so far as I can tell. There's no real lore or "what happens next?" Maybe there IS lore to it, and we just lose it in translation?
Max, I understand netcode is very important to you especially as a content creator. But aside from great online a fighting game should have a lot of content in general, as a video game. I don't want fighting games to go back to just arcade, training and online. VF4, VF4 evolution and the original 5 had loads of content and really showed how fighting games can have a lot of fun content as a video game not just as a tool for competition. Then the multiple versions of VF 5 came out and ruined that and became a bare bones fighter. Content and net code should be priorities but just hearing netcode being prioritized I think could cut down a fighting games longevity without the single player content and customization to back it up and give people more reasons to come back. Love your videos and streams Max, hope you have a good day. Just wanted to offer my two cents as a fighting game player who wants more single player content in fighting games.
That is definitely true for me. VF4E and VF5 are my absolute faves of the series because of replayability. The Netcode conversation is moot to me as VF is UBER technical and going by recent game experiences it will be a McDs Wi-fi frustration fest so my preference is to focus on the game's Quest and other modes
I'm Sorry to say It, but this game is Actually Dead, the developer was Hudson, which is now a subsidiary of Konami, so yeah.... Sadly this game is Dead, just like The other Konami Games, and only a true Miracle can bring this game back to life
@@arnaldoalange3869 I know sadly and I hate that. I do hope we do have more competition for 3d fighters. Also bring in new things too. I'd love to see a team base one that is 3v3.
@@arnaldoalange3869 I'd like it to be more like Marvel 2/3 in a 3d space. I'd like more of that air game and 2d mechanics they had in Tekken 7 with the 2d characters.
I'm not a massive fan of the series, but I bought the first DLC pack to support VF because I feel like 3D fighting games have been left behind while 2D is booming, and Tekken hasn't had a new game in nearly 7 years.
I understand how netcode and online play is important but also in my opinion of course offline story mode play is also important. Like I don't know anything about virtua fighters characters or universe and an actual story mode like what mortal kombat has done would definitely interest me in getting this game, same would have been for samurai showdown if only that game was the most basic full priced fighter to come out when it did
@@phenomenalfahad watch a bit, they made Akira a silly shounen character lol. Story is faithful to some but Kage And Akira's personality are switched. I think they made Akira younger than Kage lol considering how more mature Kage looks in comparison to Akira
Here's an idea: what if they added some other Sega characters as DLC? Imagine Ryo Hazuki, Majima or Makoto Nijima (or even Akihiko Sanada) in VF. Beautiful.
If they were ever going to add a single player mode, considering the involvement of the Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio with VF5 : US, the shift to e-Sports and considering VF has had...very little story, I thought it would make sense to have a fourth wall breaking story mode where you are a prospective VF Champion aiming to win the biggest VF tournament. Just expand on Quest mode from past games to include Kaumurocho/Osaka/Yokohama from the last few Yakuza games and edit it to include more arcades and simulate what Quest mode was like. Working your way up from local tournaments to the big one, where each tournament can culminate in fighting against a named character. Your childhood friend, the local rival, the Gary Oak character etc. Keep it all light hearted and in spirit of friend competition. Make the big rewards for each tournament be money to buy new costume parts and accessories, VF music, titles etc while also giving exclusive rewards. Essentially give players an esport like experience with a bit of glamour and 'dramatic' twists like favourites getting knocked out early etc. I dunno, I think that would work. But I'm fine with that not being there if some kind of Quest mode was in the game. And of course, rollback.
Funnily enough, Lost Judgment's school clubs had an E-sports club side story about VF. Allthough it was on a very small scale. You could use that as a prototype for something big.
VF4:Evo was my introduction to 1v1 fighting games, so VF holds a special place in my heart. VF6 with good netcode would be a dream come true. Nothing else feels and plays the way VF does.
I don’t think free to play should be a the main approach personally but maybe having a option for it might be cool.. I think a strong way to express the story of the characters would be amazing honestly and cosmetics. (And netcode)
Aight, we need more 3d fighters on the market so here me out: EVIL ZONE 2 BABY MAKE IT HAPPEN. Evil Zone has insane amounts of charm and it needs to come back
That would need a top to bottom reinvention. The mechanics and things in that are horrific, they outright don’t work and the ones that do work are not fun. I agree, it’s a well designed game in terms of the art, but the charm of the art style and characters only goes so far. The gameplay and how the game actually works, that’s…messy, to say the least. I would welcome a new one if it played anything like a fighting game from the last twenty years, unlike the disaster that it is.
The free to play model could really work out for them if they're will to invest in the up front costs. We already know games can been supported by just costumes(DoA). They just need the same breadth of customization they've had in the previous VF games. Maybe rollback on top of the server server strategy they used in the VF5 remaster would be the thing to improve online, though it seems more expensive.
VF doesn't need to revolutionize the 3d fighter genre everytime. More new characters, Character redesigns, good story mode, unlockables costumes on top of a big customization mode.
Gave this a shot since i love tekken and was not disappointed, never got into VF when i was younger but this has made me want to play some of the older ones and hope they release a new one in future! :D
I never knew much about VF. (only by name and that it was the sole reason why series like Tekken, my all time favorite fighting series, even exists) As a result, my first exposure of the games was through Yakuza and Judgment. I'm currently playing Lost Judgment and upon playing VF5 again in the series, its really solid. Everything really pops and the characters have such an distinctive feel to them. I personally enjoy it (I already love Sarah as my main). VF certainly deserves to gain more exposure and if they ever come out with a VF6, I'd buy it with no hesitation.
I want a story mode in Virtua fighter. There is no way it's going to be free. Global connections seem hard (maybe possible, but not likely). Unfortunately no one knows what this game is anymore better marketing for story and updates will help this game. There is now way this game is going to be free that's a dream😂😂😂
I really hope Virtua Fighter 6 will happen. I love this game. I also would love to see a story mode in it as well. I also would love to see an Adventure game for virtua fighter too, or an Adventure style mode for Virtua Fighter, It will be HOT🔥. Regardless, Please make another one!😭
I have a feeling a new game would be too early. If TMS Entertainment and Sega were to make an anime together again, then I could see a Virtua Fighter 5R anime adaptation that focuses an every character introduced in VF3-5R and tell events of what happened to them during the games leading up to 5R. The Virtua Fighter franchise can benefit from having anime series since the games lack story except for its instruction manuals. Once the new Virtua Fighter anime becomes a success, Sega and AM2 can greenlight a sixth mainline game and include arcade mode endings (like VF Kids) if TMS Entertainment doesn't feel like making a third anime.
Max is right on this one. Not only would that move fgs forward but it will put 3d fighting games back on the map and raise the bar for 3d fighting games in general putting pressure on tecmo and namco.
If they make Virtua fighter free to play, they're gonna sell everything and you'll regret ever asking for a game to be free to play. This one thing came off as very naive, no free game will ever give free characters, if the game is free, expect not only cosmetic but obviously characters to be sold and they'll be expensive, way more than the average fighting game character normally is.
"Won't ever" Fantasy Strike made that factually untrue on July 21 2021. Regardless of your opinion on the game, its a fighting game that did free-to-play AND gave all characters for free.
I agree on the totally free characters, look at the most popular F2P games, they all let you play the game completely free no barriers, only thing you when to put for is cosmetics/emotes. None of this DOA Core Fighters nonsense
I played the hell out of doa5 but 6 just felt like a downgrade. I love the series but I think they need to give it a break and come back with something truly amazing
tbf, League of legends is one of the most popular f2p games and absolutely has barriers on its characters. Same with genshin impact and other top ones....that said I agree it sucks and i'd rather they just sell cosmetics. Also selling cosmetics is what got DOA a lot of hate, so hopefully they can frame it better.
Virtua Fighter's Cross over into Dead Or Alive, felt ..... Tooo right. If VF6 went with a engine change to be smooth as DOA. I'd love it. it probably wont happen.
I dunno. Evo Japan featured VF5FS. KOFAS is featuring it in a crossover. And recently, Harada featured the director (Aoki?) on Harada's Bar. So there is SOME interest in it existing. Personally, I always preferred the exaggerated characterization/impact that Tekken brings, and always preferred it's control scheme, but it's certainly a relevant title that deserves explored more; so many things today would not have been possible without it. It's the "World Warrior" of 3D FGs, after all! That said... its appeal is founded in it's simplicity, and in an era where all of the big dog games are trying to get into some nice common ground with one another... the real question is what to DO with a VF6. Keep it simple, make it pretty, make the netcode kick serious ass with a simplistic engine behind it? Or get into meters/supers/mechanical depth to bring it on par with the rest of the party? I think that's the real discussion that needs to happen *before* VF6 itself does.
I'm thinking that Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown, might've been Sega's way of testing to see if people are still interested in the series, and if it's popular then they consider making VF6
man, it's a shame that not many people have heard of virtua fighter. I've been playing for years and you do not know how happy and excited I am for a 6th installment, looking forward to playing with you all:)
Aoi became my favorite fighting game character of all time with no previous VF experience The game is good and that should be enough to bring people in
I hope their future plans involve being multi platform, it sounds like they're successful enough on Playstation to stay exclusive but it feels like a missed opportunity to have a big come back and stay limited, especially since one of the most important parts of a fighting game is its community. They advertised a new VF with a focus on esports, which due to the pandemic now means playing online, fostering a large online player base has become critical to having a successful fighting game and being exclusive to one platform limits that, it ended up being a remaster of 5 which is great but they didn't do enough to the online, which for a game that has had so many versions is quite disappointing especially since they called it "Ultimate", Tekken 7 proved to be extremely successful on every platform including PC (4 and a half years later there are still 8k people playing on Steam every day, double that of Strive) and i imagine that fresh audience would like to check out other 3D fighters, OPPORTUNITIES!! Consequently since i don't own a PS5 i haven't thought about VF5:US since it came out, i emulated the PS3 version for a bit to get my fix, i feel like i've been watching Sega miss opportunities with this game its entire life, lots of people obviously want to play it, even Harada's begging you to do something.
My favorite 3-D fighter of all time. I love VF man. This is news I’ve been wanting to hear for a loooong time. VF is an amazing series and definitely deserves a 6th game. I can’t wait! I just pray they don’t ruin it and make it more over the top and unrealistic. No colorful hit sparks, fireballs, lasers, robots, etc. Please keep the realism and grounded-ness. That’s what I love about the series. Realistic and accurate hand to hand martial arts. It’s what makes it unique and refreshing compared to other fighters.
Something max missed in the Harada's Bar thing is that Harada had brought out some Takoyaki as a break snack a couple times during the interview, the ones on the first plate were placed in the shape of a V, the second plate later in the interview was placed in the shape of an F. Then Aoki held the plate up and made the statement "It kind of looks like a 6, doesn't it?" V F 6
These two and their subliminal stuff is hilarous. Like the T-Shirt thing!

I really really really love VF. Was one of the last few that stuck around on ps3 back when FS first came out. There's nothing more that I'd love to see VF back in the spotlight with good netcode. I'm telling you that's all it takes these days, give us the netcode we need and we'll support the HELL out of that game. I still play vf5 now on ps4, not as much as I'd like to due to the netcode not being the best, but I'll still support this game and sing it's praise. Virtua Fighter 6 would be an amazing thing to see.
Am still playing the game on the PS3 and 4
To help with the ps4 VF 5 version. I am still playing VF 5 showdown on PS3 with japanese players. Feels better on ps3 how ironic.
@@MuhammadAli-xw4yc I did this too just before the ps4 one came out as a refresher! I could do Akira's knee online vs jp way easier than I could even on ps4. I really hope we get vf6!!
I really wish that Konami, who are getting back into the video game business again, possibly, tries this with Bloody Roar, because that's a game I would love to see brought back.
They tanked hard with efootball
How did they go back to the video game business? By making card game simulators and shitty football games?
@@BIastProcX That's what I heard they were going to do, get back into the business, after the success of the Castlevania Advance pack and the new rules restricting the gambling games they pump out.
Honestly, the best of both worlds is to have a porting house (Hi M2 and Bluepoint, SPECIFICALLY those two porting houses, and only those two since Konami has a good working relationship with them and got quality products out of them) just compile the Bloody Roar games into a collection and re-release them, warts and all.
I’m with you, bloody roar was awesome. I’d like to see a reboot of Psychic Force too.
I'm happy that VF is back and it doing well I hope VF6 gets more single player content like quest mode or story mode not just online only content
I just want to say to all - WE NEED MORE 3D FIGHTERS ON THE GOSH DARN MARKET!!! - We have 4, Soul Calibur, DoA, Tekken, Virtua Fighter. New 3D fighters, NEW Idea's. We have a metric F'ton of 2D fighter but too small of a selection of 3D fighting games.
Maybe Capcom will bring back Power Stone.
Bloody Roar 5 with new mechanics
@@blahdelablah Power Stone is part of the big data leak that happened.
There will probably never be any more brand new 3D fighter franchises. The legacy fighters we have are the last we're ever getting, and they can only make the numbers work because they're copy-pasting their moveset animations from previous games. Anyone creating a new franchise is going to make it a 2D fighter, because it's a lot less work per character, and they're mostly using licensed characters from anime etc that fans will buy regardless of whether it's 2D or 3D gameplay. So yeah, support VF, Tekken and Soul Calibur. We've probably lost DoA forever. We're down to 2 or 3 games depending on VF's future. If VF doesn't get rebooted, we're down to 2 games under a single company with Harada no longer in charge. Tekken will definitely get another game in the series, but after that nothing is guaranteed. Namco isn't committed to fighting games like SNK or ArcSys, they make whatever genre sells best for the development budget invested.
sadly in german no one play fighting games....:/
I'm not as big on VF but it's weird how it hasn't made a comeback when a lot of 3D fighting game counterparts like Tekken and SoulCal are doing really well in the mainstream FGC right now. I feel like it's long overdue since VF5 is like 15 years old lol
Larger fan base for tekken …plus soul cal along with it always looked to improve VF never really did
@@215jphilly Improve in....what way? You mean make easier/improve? SC definitely made some questionable choices while Tekken has done a good job staying true to the series in terms of depth, difficulty, execution, etc.
You gotta include many other factors. Like the ps3 version of VF5 vanilla not having online (which more of the fan base would play had they got the chance) yet the Xbox 360 version did (and it ain't exactly a household name over at Xbox especially in Japan) at a time where online with fighters were catching on since the og xbox
Not to mention they've only released VF5 updates whereas other 3d contemporaries (or just fighting games period) kept up the numbered entries (quality of T6 aside which I found meh) plus FG audiences gravitating more towards more insane character designs and atmosphere compared to the more lax VF.
And that's shit I can think of on the top of my head. Sega also tend to pay attention more to the Japanese arcades than console overseas. Hell, VF5R still has no console rerelease of any kind.
All this is kinda funny that it was VF5 when the series started to REALLY fade away from popularity despite a being pretty polished entry in the series with many changes in gameplay. So it wasn't like the formula got stale.
I mean making a comeback is the whole point of this whole thing going on rn lol
@@blackwind677 Beautifully written
I want VF6 to has a good Voice Acting with more cheesy lines like "Here comes my suplex" or "Presenting the Brad Show" or whatever they come up with, I'd love it.
Im fine with the voice acting in 5 but its audio quality that kills me its like they recorded in the office instead of a studio
With massively updated character models.
@@force5926 I really want new models in the next game, some of them in ultimate showdown look like yakuza npc's cosplaying as VF characters.
The acting I. 5 is perfect
@@majortom331 Lion looks like a slightly altered Sugiura from Judgment, and Aoi…. It’s basically just Saeko cosplaying as her, like you said.
Here are one of my thoughts about the best ideas for Virtua Fighter 6 (besides the obvious request for rollback netcode)
-A Story Mode: that should play and feels just like the arcades while it only has story elements rather than being a storyteller
-A Tutorial Mode: with all kinds of sensible ways to play the game the right way
-A Demonstration Mode: were it shows off all the VF characters martial art skills
-A Bio Mode: that recaps the characters previous days in their past life with the use of the narrator or text-only
-A Museum Mode: that shows us the old days of sega developing Virtua Fighter, and their Artworks, and their Prototypes
-A Survival Mode: were you fight your way by beating every opponent as possible in order to reach for the highest score, even if you lose just one match
-A Time Attack Mode: were you play up to 30+ matches against the CPU players at a faster time rate
-AND FINALLY! A Quest Mode: were it puts you through an accelerating journey by going through a full course run in the arcades before getting entered in the tournaments while obtaining rewards from each of those tourneys and then it plays a really interesting ending sequence for completing quest mode and it shows a surprised message from the VF team.
Now can something like this become a dream come or what??? because clearly i want that to happen one of these days. i really do! I REALLY DO!
If it wasn't for VF games like DOA,TEKKEN,SOUL CALIBUR would not exist they should make another one i mean sega is still alive in software department
Honestly as long as they make 6 flashier, while retaining the core gameplay they should be fine. Rollback netcode and cool new characters are a given.
"Flashy", by its nature, kinda goes against the core gameplay of VF.
All they could do is improve the camerawork and impact effects, because every other element of fighting game "flash" would result in ruining the game feel for some. Just like Tekken 7 and SoulCal 6 did, with their comeback mechanics, supers, guard break meter and soul charge installs in SC6, nerfing movement and defense in T7 while universally buffing wall carry and damage output, etc.
As a long time fan of all the 3D fighters (for 19 years), T7 and SC6 are some of the worst in their series' IMO. They changed the game feel too much for me to enjoy them much. Meanwhile, DoA6 and VF5US feel the closest to the spirit of the entries that made me a fighting game fan.
@@s_factor_sam and they gotta make the sound effects more modern sounds horrible
Personally, I don’t think me and my bro deserve thanks (we downloaded it ASAP when it came out along with the DLC). I feel like the developers of VF4 and our father deserve thanks because without our father, we probably would have never gotten or known about VF (and thanks to the VF4 devs for making such an incredible game with the greatest, most in depth tutorial mode in fighting games history fight me). As for Max’s suggestions for the next installment, I agree up until the Free To Play aspect. It COULD work but I think the best option would be the Killer Instinct model. Free to play with a rotating fighter every week. More characters of the base roster to purchase either individually or as bundles. Same with future characters. Making them ALL free to use though just seems fucking insane. I think that’s Max’s enthusiasm getting ahead of him. Overall, I’m just fucking happy the series might be continuing. VF4 was my first fighting game as a young ass little kid and it’s been my favorite series gameplay wise ever since (Tekken has my heart with its style and personality but VF gameplay will always be second to none)
You're welcome for saving Virtua Fighter, Max. lol Hope an eventual Virtua Fighter 6 can be a reality with everything we want.
Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown is my game of 2021. Love the Yakuza dlc also. Hopefully we get 6 in the future, I also feel like they could add one or more new characters to this current game and people will pay 👍
A guest from Tekken would work. I propose Lars with his Shorinji Kempo inspired style.
I think it’s the best beat-em up this year. I loved Tekken 7 (when I was playing it in 2018/9 - I think it was 2018🤔). Tekken 7 got really old when Dead or Alive 6 had come out, and even that game didn’t do well (apparently?).
In the interview, it looks like VF 6 will happen (just not on the Xbox), also VF US was a PC made game.
@@KevinLawson Yea Tekken 7 is one of my faves also. I mained Nina, Anna & Zarina, who were your mains? I touched Dead or Alive 6 a little bit, but I didn't enjoy it as much as 5. I really hope we get Virtua Fighter 6 with great online like Max stated, maybe even a story mode for it would be cool.
@@flipkiller8521 I would like Nina Williams as a guest! Lars fighting style is fun as well, I mained him in Tekken Revolution.
@@billydeez25 well, I use Asuka Kazama, in Tekken 7 otherwise I did love Kazuya Mishima and his son Jin (in Tekken 1,2,3). But Jun Kazama was most probably the one of the best fighting characters I had picked (along with Pai and Sarah form VF and Ryu from SF). But seen as she was only in Tekken 2, I was lost on who to use.
I don’t feel like VF needs a story mode, give it a challenge mode or something like that. I’m just hoping it gets a western release along with a Xbox release (I’m not buying a PS just for one game laugh out loud).
I love VF, it was easily my most played game in college. Even though it was much bigger back then, it was still kind of the underdog. Now, hardly anyone has played it, but I'm glad to hear how relatively successful the new release of 5 was and that there is a chance more could come. Especially if they could get Yu Suzuki to be a part of it. Apparently in an interview just in 2019, he said if he came back to Sega, it would be to make the next Virtua Fighter.
I hear ya. But I think You Suzuki lost his talent(s). He is legendary. But his major cockup with Shenmue 4 in general, the fighting system, and perhaps crushing Sega back in the day with the series was maybe the end of his greatness. At least that's where I'm at. Not sure I want him anywhere near VF 6 personally.
@@gogreengameon2146 You have some valid concerns, but someone needs to lead it, and I still feel some random lead at Sega would even more likely mess it up than Yu Suzuki.
I remember trying out an old vf cabinet at a local pizza shop when I was a kid, but really got into it this year with US. I'm looking forward to what comes of all this!
I've never been a Virtua Fighter fan. But I did download the game & buy the DLC, because I want it to return. Having more series like this is good because it's better for them to have direct competition to push them to be better & improve.
I’m REALLY hoping that VF6 has an actual story driven narrative because I SO need it!!!
I hope so too. I wanna see some characters from these characters. I wanna know Akira
VF really is like, a zero-narrative apart from Jacky and Sarah being brother and sister, so far as I can tell. There's no real lore or "what happens next?"
Maybe there IS lore to it, and we just lose it in translation?
My dream is for a Tekken vs Virtua Fighter game, would love to see that.
It was going to happen but Sega told them No because Harada had mentioned it one time.
It call project x
VF vs Dead or Alive would be a better crossover fighter both games play very similar and they used VF characters on dead or alive 5...
I'd love to see a Tekken vs Virtua Fighter game too.
Max, I understand netcode is very important to you especially as a content creator. But aside from great online a fighting game should have a lot of content in general, as a video game.
I don't want fighting games to go back to just arcade, training and online. VF4, VF4 evolution and the original 5 had loads of content and really showed how fighting games can have a lot of fun content as a video game not just as a tool for competition. Then the multiple versions of VF 5 came out and ruined that and became a bare bones fighter. Content and net code should be priorities but just hearing netcode being prioritized I think could cut down a fighting games longevity without the single player content and customization to back it up and give people more reasons to come back.
Love your videos and streams Max, hope you have a good day. Just wanted to offer my two cents as a fighting game player who wants more single player content in fighting games.
VALID POINTS
That is definitely true for me. VF4E and VF5 are my absolute faves of the series because of replayability. The Netcode conversation is moot to me as VF is UBER technical and going by recent game experiences it will be a McDs Wi-fi frustration fest so my preference is to focus on the game's Quest and other modes
there needs to be more competition with 3D fighters hope we get other 3D series coming back. Ahem Bloody Roar
I'm Sorry to say It, but this game is Actually Dead, the developer was Hudson, which is now a subsidiary of Konami, so yeah.... Sadly this game is Dead, just like The other Konami Games, and only a true Miracle can bring this game back to life
@@arnaldoalange3869 I know sadly and I hate that. I do hope we do have more competition for 3d fighters. Also bring in new things too. I'd love to see a team base one that is 3v3.
@@darkherostardustchannel3699 like Tekken Tag Tournament?
@@arnaldoalange3869 I'd like it to be more like Marvel 2/3 in a 3d space. I'd like more of that air game and 2d mechanics they had in Tekken 7 with the 2d characters.
I was just thinking of bloody roar the other day! Would love to see a new rival schools
I'm not a massive fan of the series, but I bought the first DLC pack to support VF because I feel like 3D fighting games have been left behind while 2D is booming, and Tekken hasn't had a new game in nearly 7 years.
"Tekken hasn't had a new game in nearly 7 years."
God I feel so old.
Tekken is blomning sold over 7 million
I understand how netcode and online play is important but also in my opinion of course offline story mode play is also important. Like I don't know anything about virtua fighters characters or universe and an actual story mode like what mortal kombat has done would definitely interest me in getting this game, same would have been for samurai showdown if only that game was the most basic full priced fighter to come out when it did
I agree, story mode is a must or at least a quality long arcade endings
If you're interested in the Virtua Fighter story you can watch the anime. Hopefully VF6 will have story
@@phenomenalfahad watch a bit, they made Akira a silly shounen character lol. Story is faithful to some but Kage And Akira's personality are switched. I think they made Akira younger than Kage lol considering how more mature Kage looks in comparison to Akira
Here's an idea: what if they added some other Sega characters as DLC? Imagine Ryo Hazuki, Majima or Makoto Nijima (or even Akihiko Sanada) in VF. Beautiful.
Inb4 Sonic, or Hornet's Revenge
If they were ever going to add a single player mode, considering the involvement of the Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio with VF5 : US, the shift to e-Sports and considering VF has had...very little story, I thought it would make sense to have a fourth wall breaking story mode where you are a prospective VF Champion aiming to win the biggest VF tournament. Just expand on Quest mode from past games to include Kaumurocho/Osaka/Yokohama from the last few Yakuza games and edit it to include more arcades and simulate what Quest mode was like. Working your way up from local tournaments to the big one, where each tournament can culminate in fighting against a named character. Your childhood friend, the local rival, the Gary Oak character etc. Keep it all light hearted and in spirit of friend competition. Make the big rewards for each tournament be money to buy new costume parts and accessories, VF music, titles etc while also giving exclusive rewards. Essentially give players an esport like experience with a bit of glamour and 'dramatic' twists like favourites getting knocked out early etc. I dunno, I think that would work.
But I'm fine with that not being there if some kind of Quest mode was in the game. And of course, rollback.
Funnily enough, Lost Judgment's school clubs had an E-sports club side story about VF. Allthough it was on a very small scale. You could use that as a prototype for something big.
I do wonder how much of that 8 million was related to the fact that it was free on psn when it launched
I hope VF becomes the Street Fighter of Sega and canonizes some franchises in its world like Yakuza, Crazy Taxi and whatever fits.
It’s amazing the power the FGC has had on the industry in the past few years. Proud to be a part of it
I would like to see Virtua Fighter 5 get backward compatible, and after that they just announce a Virtua Fighter 6.
And also bring back the amazing Quest Mode from Virtua Fighter 4 Evolution. Easily my favorite mode in a fighting game.
VF4:Evo was my introduction to 1v1 fighting games, so VF holds a special place in my heart. VF6 with good netcode would be a dream come true. Nothing else feels and plays the way VF does.
The news for a new VF6 from the words of my boy Jacky Bryant….YEAHHHHH!!!!
The return of VF?!! Say it isn't so. Because that's what we've been waiting years for.
I don’t think free to play should be a the main approach personally but maybe having a option for it might be cool.. I think a strong way to express the story of the characters would be amazing honestly and cosmetics. (And netcode)
Aight, we need more 3d fighters on the market so here me out: EVIL ZONE 2 BABY MAKE IT HAPPEN. Evil Zone has insane amounts of charm and it needs to come back
I would pre order that instantly
That would need a top to bottom reinvention. The mechanics and things in that are horrific, they outright don’t work and the ones that do work are not fun.
I agree, it’s a well designed game in terms of the art, but the charm of the art style and characters only goes so far. The gameplay and how the game actually works, that’s…messy, to say the least.
I would welcome a new one if it played anything like a fighting game from the last twenty years, unlike the disaster that it is.
We need Virtua Fighter 6 and a home console version of Virtua Fighter 4: Final Tuned.
Yes! I always wanted to play VF4 Final Tuned!
@@BCDC123 and Virtua Fighter 5 Version R
Now imagine how much more that number woulda spiked up if the game had re-released on Xbox with crossplay...
The free to play model could really work out for them if they're will to invest in the up front costs. We already know games can been supported by just costumes(DoA). They just need the same breadth of customization they've had in the previous VF games. Maybe rollback on top of the server server strategy they used in the VF5 remaster would be the thing to improve online, though it seems more expensive.
Please make it happen SEGA !
VF doesn't need to revolutionize the 3d fighter genre everytime.
More new characters, Character redesigns, good story mode, unlockables costumes on top of a big customization mode.
Love when you cover VF.
I wouldn't be surprised if we get a VF6 announcement late 2022-early 2023
Probably late 2022 or 2023
We need a VF character in Tekken 8.
We need a Tekken character in VF6.
I really wish they brought this game to PC. Hopefully they do with VF6!
Virtua fighter 5 came out in like 2006 right? It’s time for a sequel.
Gave this a shot since i love tekken and was not disappointed, never got into VF when i was younger but this has made me want to play some of the older ones and hope they release a new one in future! :D
I never knew much about VF. (only by name and that it was the sole reason why series like Tekken, my all time favorite fighting series, even exists) As a result, my first exposure of the games was through Yakuza and Judgment.
I'm currently playing Lost Judgment and upon playing VF5 again in the series, its really solid. Everything really pops and the characters have such an distinctive feel to them. I personally enjoy it (I already love Sarah as my main).
VF certainly deserves to gain more exposure and if they ever come out with a VF6, I'd buy it with no hesitation.
Harada and Sakurai the definition of nerds with power
They recently made the yakuza dlc and it’s a no brainer. For $10 you get a lot of content.
VF6 hype HOLY SHIIIIIIIT. I would join in on the VF5.5 hype if I had a PS4 :(
I want a story mode in Virtua fighter. There is no way it's going to be free. Global connections seem hard (maybe possible, but not likely). Unfortunately no one knows what this game is anymore better marketing for story and updates will help this game. There is now way this game is going to be free that's a dream😂😂😂
I bet Yu Suzuki comes back for 6. He already said he is up to do it.
I'm not a guy that fan of fighting game but I love Max and his passion for fighting game it's heart warming and I love that ♥
Oh man, i really hope this comes to fruition one day, i'd love to see Tekken vs VF someday
I really hope Virtua Fighter 6 will happen. I love this game. I also would love to see a story mode in it as well. I also would love to see an Adventure game for virtua fighter too, or an Adventure style mode for Virtua Fighter, It will be HOT🔥. Regardless, Please make another one!😭
I have a feeling a new game would be too early. If TMS Entertainment and Sega were to make an anime together again, then I could see a Virtua Fighter 5R anime adaptation that focuses an every character introduced in VF3-5R and tell events of what happened to them during the games leading up to 5R. The Virtua Fighter franchise can benefit from having anime series since the games lack story except for its instruction manuals.
Once the new Virtua Fighter anime becomes a success, Sega and AM2 can greenlight a sixth mainline game and include arcade mode endings (like VF Kids) if TMS Entertainment doesn't feel like making a third anime.
We're loooooooooooooooooooong overdue VF6.
Virtua Fighter 6! huh interesting
It's 2023 now and it's VF's 30th anniversary in october. I hope sega has something planned for this series.
An Xbox and pc release would be amazing as well
VF6 in CS should have a story mode which somewhat contributes to progression, not so much like VF4 Evo but something brand new in terms of stories
The ironic thing is that for years Sega deferred online play, saying the infrastructure wasn't there and that "It wouldn't be VF."
Max is right on this one. Not only would that move fgs forward but it will put 3d fighting games back on the map and raise the bar for 3d fighting games in general putting pressure on tecmo and namco.
PLEASE BE , we need it
If it does it needs to be on all platforms and def need rollback netcode. That online is like playing in mud
VF5 is absolutely not dead either. You can find matches and lobbies even now.
VF is still the king of 3D fightings
If they make Virtua fighter free to play, they're gonna sell everything and you'll regret ever asking for a game to be free to play.
This one thing came off as very naive, no free game will ever give free characters, if the game is free, expect not only cosmetic but obviously characters to be sold and they'll be expensive, way more than the average fighting game character normally is.
"Won't ever"
Fantasy Strike made that factually untrue on July 21 2021.
Regardless of your opinion on the game, its a fighting game that did free-to-play AND gave all characters for free.
he needs to do this with soul calibur..we need another game
I'm pretty sure a SCVII is coming... with a proper budget this time. SCVI was quite successful.
Respectfully...I would love the vf cast included into a tekken built game. The same way sf became cannon in verse with akuma was included.
Oh boy, I love Capcom Tests.
VF also getting money from Yakuza minigames, you buy yakuza = you buy VF games
lol
just the thought of Harada egging on the VF devs like
(arnold voice) C'MON! FIGHT ME!
Amazing news to close the year. As much as I am a VF mark, I'm still surprised at the number of downloads for the latest version.
Even after getting the game for free on PSN+ I made sure to pick up the 30 buck DLC just to support the devs. I want more of this shit SEGA!
Huh? There’s only two DLC packs for the game and they’re only $10 each
Max don't do this to me, don't give me hope
4:51 Look for VF streams, we’re always looking for people to play with. And welcome many into the rooms, for free.
I agree on the totally free characters, look at the most popular F2P games, they all let you play the game completely free no barriers, only thing you when to put for is cosmetics/emotes. None of this DOA Core Fighters nonsense
I played the hell out of doa5 but 6 just felt like a downgrade. I love the series but I think they need to give it a break and come back with something truly amazing
tbf, League of legends is one of the most popular f2p games and absolutely has barriers on its characters. Same with genshin impact and other top ones....that said I agree it sucks and i'd rather they just sell cosmetics. Also selling cosmetics is what got DOA a lot of hate, so hopefully they can frame it better.
Virtua Fighter's Cross over into Dead Or Alive, felt ..... Tooo right. If VF6 went with a engine change to be smooth as DOA. I'd love it. it probably wont happen.
I dunno. Evo Japan featured VF5FS. KOFAS is featuring it in a crossover. And recently, Harada featured the director (Aoki?) on Harada's Bar.
So there is SOME interest in it existing. Personally, I always preferred the exaggerated characterization/impact that Tekken brings, and always preferred it's control scheme, but it's certainly a relevant title that deserves explored more; so many things today would not have been possible without it. It's the "World Warrior" of 3D FGs, after all!
That said... its appeal is founded in it's simplicity, and in an era where all of the big dog games are trying to get into some nice common ground with one another... the real question is what to DO with a VF6. Keep it simple, make it pretty, make the netcode kick serious ass with a simplistic engine behind it? Or get into meters/supers/mechanical depth to bring it on par with the rest of the party? I think that's the real discussion that needs to happen *before* VF6 itself does.
Really hope VF6 is on Xbox as well
I'm thinking that Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown, might've been Sega's way of testing to see if people are still interested in the series, and if it's popular then they consider making VF6
Well, that was the idea behind the video...
Lol
man, it's a shame that not many people have heard of virtua fighter. I've been playing for years and you do not know how happy and excited I am for a 6th installment, looking forward to playing with you all:)
Remember playing VF at the arcades , was so fun and fresh .
Good vid as always .
@16:06 Max is spittin'
2023 is VF's 30th anniversary. I hope they announce VF 6 or something good
VF5 US has been a blast.. and not in a nostalgic way.. just a really fun and intense fighter.
VF fighter inspired a while generation of devs and did a had a really HUGE fanbase at Japan specially with VF2, really the series deserves a chance
Aoi became my favorite fighting game character of all time with no previous VF experience
The game is good and that should be enough to bring people in
Yes! She’s so fun to use!
I hope their future plans involve being multi platform, it sounds like they're successful enough on Playstation to stay exclusive but it feels like a missed opportunity to have a big come back and stay limited, especially since one of the most important parts of a fighting game is its community.
They advertised a new VF with a focus on esports, which due to the pandemic now means playing online, fostering a large online player base has become critical to having a successful fighting game and being exclusive to one platform limits that, it ended up being a remaster of 5 which is great but they didn't do enough to the online, which for a game that has had so many versions is quite disappointing especially since they called it "Ultimate", Tekken 7 proved to be extremely successful on every platform including PC (4 and a half years later there are still 8k people playing on Steam every day, double that of Strive) and i imagine that fresh audience would like to check out other 3D fighters, OPPORTUNITIES!!
Consequently since i don't own a PS5 i haven't thought about VF5:US since it came out, i emulated the PS3 version for a bit to get my fix, i feel like i've been watching Sega miss opportunities with this game its entire life, lots of people obviously want to play it, even Harada's begging you to do something.
Yeah if they put this on game pass as well out would do wonders for them
My favorite 3-D fighter of all time. I love VF man. This is news I’ve been wanting to hear for a loooong time. VF is an amazing series and definitely deserves a 6th game. I can’t wait! I just pray they don’t ruin it and make it more over the top and unrealistic. No colorful hit sparks, fireballs, lasers, robots, etc. Please keep the realism and grounded-ness. That’s what I love about the series. Realistic and accurate hand to hand martial arts. It’s what makes it unique and refreshing compared to other fighters.
