VF always had many more moves than Tekken, this tells us you don't know how to play the games. Unlike Tekken, you actually needed to spend time with a character to master him correctly. Tekken was always style over substance, but this is exactly what the new audience brought by Sony wanted, so Namco read that right.
I've been hearing this argument about Smash for 25 years and it never made any sense to me.
the Dreamcast baseball game with no fielding is bad, but the rest are good yes.
well, we have some different tastes, the important thing is respect and dialogue.
Yes thank you i know, i have played the game. And the fade-in is horrible (but of course it's only on other consoles where this is an issue, on Saturn we don't care about that).
pc version, nvidia.
In the real world, this fading effect was fine for the time and the console. Sonic R had a PC version with additional visual elements, and was released on the Sonic Gems collection.
If VF had more moves, it didnt show it because the games were so boring with players tapping each other doing the same moves over and over again. Hardly any characters too. And VF2 had a weird thing going on because when I played it, it seemed like the exact same sequence of fights. I remember when I played VF2, Lau would always be the first opponent. And the blonde girl would be second etc...
I don't know about NFL but the last NHL game is very good.
Nah, it always bothered me you can see the floor behind the fading environments. Pop-up/fade always has this look where objects materialize in front of you but in Sonic-R is far more noticeable and distracting because of that.
It's their choice of having an actual scenery rather than a completely blue/dark sky that bothers you. But the effect is clearly the best on the console and perfectly satisfactory for this generation.
That's Virgin's Powerplay Hockey which Sega simply bought the rights and rebranded it after Virgin didnt want to release on Saturn.I don't know about NFL but the last NHL game is very good.
Same for NBA and Soccer, all very good games. Also the Baseball game.
Ok, I thought it was fine. Not as good as NBA Action or Worldwide Soccer for sure.That's Virgin's Powerplay Hockey which Sega simply bought the rights and rebranded it after Virgin didnt want to release on Saturn.
It also got meh reviews.

NBA Action 98 reviews hard to find. But 6.8/10 on GS. Not good either.
I don't think even a 3D SOR would have sold well. That said SEGA really should have ported Golden Axe Revenge of Death Adder to the Saturn with multi tap support.
Thanks. I thought the Jp version of Streets Of Rage 3 was the best in the Series but the 2D market was in decline even in the Arcades. I loved Die Hard Arcade and also SpikeOut on the Xbox doesn't get enough credit, in 4 player mode on LIVE it was some of the bets fun I had on OG Xbox .
The problem with those old school beat em ups is how shallow and repetitive they were.
It was developed by Visual Concept which would make the 2K games that were all reviewed extremely well.
It is not just mechanics that do not line up, it is the rules dictating the winner and loser. It is the same kind of criteria that separates wrestling from fighting.
That is funny considering half the characters are clones in the first two Tekkens have bugger all worth using combo-wise except sweeps, 10-hit strings, and jab juggles after launcher (first version of VF2 is also guilty of the latter unfortunately). Virtua Fighter in contrast has a myriad of variation in moves with utility in mind. The greatness of VF is in having responsive and reactive counters to every tactic. Early Tekken is about dialing in a sequence and hoping it connects first.
That sounds cumbersome as ideally you have the whole polished tool set at your disposal from the start and it is only the difficulty of obstacles that increases. Length is not a strength of the genre but replayability is. The more you stretch it out the less replayable it is.
