It would be cool, if some jap members could check it out and post some opinions.

Nice find, VF5 looks great!

 

[Spike Spiegel]

We're about to find out how you fix a game that didn't need to be fixed. A new chapter to a game that doesn't need one. I'm very excited, but nervous about this game at the same time. I bet you $100 I'll never EVER see this in any arcade here in the states in my life, not counting my own. And, with the super monitors they're using, probably not even there, either.

I hope they add like 16 new Fighters to make me actually care.

I'd love to have been there to give it a try. Although I find it difficult to see how you could really improve on 4.

if this is playable over xbox live i will buy a 360.

Exactly. Graphics? Um, sure. Balance... well, from Evo they could have made Goh a bit better, and they did in Final Tuned. This is still the most balanced fighter I've ever played. Graphics can always improve, but I've never thought that I needed more movement options or whatever. Never did I feel I was limited. Hell, there's too much to do. But, I welcome VF5 and can't wait to see what it's like. I hope to god it's still good, as I said before I don't think Suzuki's doing it.

 

[Verythrax]

That's really something to be excited about.

VF4 > All tekkens > all other VFs

If it see a console release, maybe I buy it just for that. VF4Evo is in my list of 5 games that would make me buy a PS2:

ICO
Shadow of Colossus
MGS3
VF4Evo
...
Ok, 4 games

Wow! This VF.TV sounds a lot like the new spectator mode on Xbox Live... That would be absofreakinglutely the greatest thing ever.

Why can't this country support the arcade industry?

Edit: I really like the look of the backlit move lists on the cabinet! Are there any other cabinets that feature this? Since I don't have a candy cabinet or any movelists (bar a photocopied one), are most movelists the same size?

 

[SPINMASTER X]

Jeffry and Goh could always use some tweaking to improve them.

 

[Magnaflux]

Gravity is an acceleration.

Here's a preview from Kikizo with 2 vids (poor quality unfortunately).

It looks like Rey Mysterio is one of the new fighters ( not kidding, check out the vid )

 

[EliteDoomMaster]

Whew, that game looks pretty good graphic wise I just hope the gameplay is good. Wouldn't want some silly game thats like Tekken.

 

[ViewtifulZFO]

Personally, I've never gotten the hang of VF4 (I own Evo); to me, it always feels really stiff. Maybe it's because I don't have enough time or whatever.

This, however, looks pretty cool. This new stuff (The side attacks, the announcer) make me want to play it.

 

[Spike Spiegel]

Personally, I've never gotten the hang of VF4 (I own Evo); to me, it always feels really stiff.

Funny you say that, because when I go from evo to the Tekkens, Tekken seems slugish. The double taps in VF are fast and effective. It seems so responsive in comparison. I wold say that it's anything but stiff when you get the hang of it.

 

[gamejunkie]

Man I hope this drops the price of Naomi 2 hardware down a little... Then maybe I'll be able to afford VF4.

 

[EVIL NICK]

VF4 ( not evo ) runs on Naomi 1, doesn't it?

 

[gamejunkie]

VF4 ( not evo ) runs on Naomi 1, doesn't it?

Not that I've been told. Does it? Cart? I've never seen one... Please tell me more!

 

[Spike Spiegel]

Naomi is much weaker hardware than Naomi 2. All the VF4 games are on Naomi 2.

Please don't have him tell you more, as he's wrong. VF4 and VF evo are both on either cart or GD rom. I have the cart of evo.... they are both going for about the same price, so why not just get evo? It's MUCH better.

 

[Verythrax]

I expected more graphical improvement. maybe it just the video.

But hell, if it at plays as good as Evo, it can look just like Tekken 5 or VF4, I don't care.

 

[RGP]

Ha Naomi 1 lol:

yeah, but Tuned full kits at coinopexpress are cheaper than evo or 4 so get tuned.
