Proof that Sega doesn't need an Xbox to fail.

[deadhorse32]

The game was gonna bomb as soon as they released the first screenshoot.

<INSERT "OMG WTF ?" PIC HERE>

 

[Deg]

SEGA never cease to amaze. In the wrong way fo course.

What happened to them making good games? Did they drop that too?

 

[JackFrost2012]

outsold by Oanechanbara?!

sexy cowgirls in bikinis >> OMG WTF

btw, are those really combined sales sub-3000, or am I misreading...

GOTY

Oh, I don't doubt for a minute that Oanechanbara is a better game than VF:CG. Simple 2000 or no - Dynasty Warriors + Westerns + bikinis = A+. Or at least an 8.0.

It's just kind of ... sobering.

PLEASE TAKE YOUR CYBERKIDS AND THEIR CYBERSIDEKICKS AND STICK EM UP YOUR SOON-TO-BE-BANKRUPT ASS, SEGA.

You know, it's funny the PS2 version sold pretty bad considering the userbase and the amount that both versions of Virtua Fighter 4 sold. I figured numbers would atleast be much better.

Not that I liked a lot of their games, but it really does surprise me how many wrong turns they've been making.

Sega is gone... Sammy ate them up and soon will use only their characters for things that make money... Pachinko!!!

NIS, Konami or whoever need to make this their next RPG pick up for the US.

THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR GAYING UP VIRTUA FIGHTER, MOTHERFUCKERS.

 

[snapty00]

I'm hoping both Sega and Capcom are just about over their stupid "style makes games awesome wai wai!" state of mind. For the past few years, it seems like they'd release the silliest shit to see if people would eat it up. I mean, people had to like them, right? Since it had style.

It deserved to fail.

Oh, shut the hell up. A shitty game is still a shitty game, even if it does bleed with style and SD flare. I for one happen to like silly, stylish games, but the only way I'm going to put $50-80 bucks down on something like that is if it's pretty good.

Some of the best examples of recent stylish games are Viewtiful Joe, Jet Set Radio and Katamari Damacy. Hell, it even worked well for Zelda.

There are some games that just don't work well with this type of style. Even if Vitura Fighter: CG looked like Shenmue it would still be shit, because it's just the wrong direction for this type of game. But I bet people would still eat it up, right?

It can go both ways.

Yeah, it was just a coincidence that 90% of those self-proclaimed "stylish" games sucked ass.

 

[GSG Flash]

Well, I hope Sega has learned their lesson, kiddifying Virtua Fighter won't get you more sales.

 

[Troidal]

Well there was Virtua Fighter Kids back in the days...

How did that do in Japan and other countries?

Nothing more needs to be said.

Ouch! The last somewhat high profile Sega game to bomb this hard was AstroBoy PS2 (which failed to break 800 it's first day iirc). :/

I think this concept would've worked out better financially as a GBA project, maybe as a side scrolling ARPG? Kid spinoffs like Rockman.EXE and DQ Slime Morimori thrive in this market...

 

[Kiriku]

Virtua Fighter Quest will eventually save the GC. Just you watch.

I agree with you Jarrod. I will still get the game when it goes down in price on the PS2 or GC. They should have made this game for the GBA side scrolling or made the PS2 and GC an side scrolling ARPG with a cartoon look.
