Virtua Fighter 5 REVO: World Stage

Do we have to buy the game again? Or is this just DLC? Some details would be nice. How many times are they going to re-release this game.

*Vanilla VF5 and Final Showdown are for PS3/360; Ultimate Showdown is PS4 exclusive; and this high definition update to Ultimate Showdown with rollback netcode only released on PC.



I am just happy that Dural will be playable. More excited about Virtua Fighter 6 being in development but it looks like that won't release this year.

Cool to see they made a proper single player mode with various AIs per character, this is what they had done already back then on PS360 with VF5. Might give it a try thanks to this mode !

It's a major overhaul of Final Showdown with balances and visual tweaks, and is being released as a separate game. If you have Final Showdown in your library though, you can buy it at a discount.
 

In November it will have been 20 years since 5 had it's first location test....
 
-October release, september beta
-Crossplay with current gen consoles(with already introduced rollback netcode)
-New single player content+improved training mode+AI based on real players
-Final boss as playable character
-Free for steam owners of VF 5 revo

I said wtf at first too but this is great. I bought it because I had so much fun in beta, these features will make it more fun. Thanks to crossplay, we won't struggle with a lack of opponents for years to come.
 
i semi-quit fighting games for a few years and only played vf 4 and 5 with friends of various skill levels. SF5, T7, and ggst brought me back and made vf feel boring after playing so much of it. I am super pumped for vf6 though. Looks like finally something different.

But its been a long time now and i might play vf5 just to get away from meters. jfc. So sick of that shit. Seriously, "meterless fighting game" could be its own sub-genre at this point.

Ultimate Showdown shouldn't have been released. This is the problem. US had terrible netcode, and didn't target current-gen systems. Revo is the game US should've been, with rollback etc. But so far it was only released on PC, and this are console versions of it.

The reason I dropped US was because of the majority of matches were laggy. Because the game itself is much better than Tekken 8.

Revo will probably pull me in again, until VF6.
 
I actually think this is one of the best Switch 2 games in launch window.

1.) VF5 with all the updates is the best VF yet.
2.) Rollback netcode
3.) It will be a much smaller download size compared to many NS2 games!
4.) if it is anywhere near the Steam price, it is a bargain!


Sega really doing work this year across all platforms and pc!
 
I expect we'll finally get good image quality on PS5 after the flickerfest that is the 1080p-only PS4 version (never even got a PS4 Pro mode). Let's hope they'll also give us decent reflections in puddles and such, cause the faked ones in the old version look distractingly wrong whenever the camera shows the action even slightly from above.

We can't blame Sega for trying to make the game popular, VF6 will need new fans because I assume it's an expensive game, maybe $30 million which requires sales of 500,000 just to recover the investment, in the past VF had 1.7 million players and that was decreasing year by year, that's why Sega needs to evangelize VF5 as a thermometer for a killer app like VF6.

vf1 + vf remix 1.5m
vf2 saturn 1.7m
vf3 dreamcast 374.000
vf4 ps2 624.000
vf4 Evo 261.000
vf5 flop

My guess is that Sega's expectation with VF6 is to sell something like 1 million quickly, any number less than that and the game will be a failure.

tekken 8 3M (1 year)
mk1 5M (2 years)
sf6 5M (2 years)
