I'm not even trying to be a dick here, really!
But how does Virtua Fighter even matter anymore? Its only draw back in the day was that it was it was 3D when nothing else was in 3D. What's so special about it in 2007?

The fact that Virtua Fighter 4 was the greatest fighting game in the world and was only dethroned by Virtua Fighter 5?
And by every iteration of Tekken, Soul Caliber, DoA, Mortal Kombat, and pretty much any other fighting game I'd like to pull out of my ass.Originally Posted by Roto13
Seriously, the only thing VF ever had going for it was being 3d when everything else was still 2d. Once other companies started making 3d fighters, VF became pretty much a footnote. I am with Kane on this.
Oh, and it's good to see that we all know what's going to be worth getting a console for over the next what, five years?
Because ICO, Shadow of the Colossus, God of War, everything by Nippon Ichi, the Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance games, Conflict: Desert Storm, Destroy All Humans!, Stubbs the Zombie, Psychonauts, and god only knows how many other games came out for the last generation of consoles, which weren't known about in any significant manner (If at all) when the the consoles were released, which weren't killer apps, which weren't hyped up massively; yeah - everyone saw all those games coming and made decisions on which consoles to get at release time based on those.
It is a demonstrable fact that exclusive games from popular franchises sell consoles by their own strengths. Less exclusives, less consoles sold.
Also,No.
I didn't realize we were talking about what was going to sell costumes, I thought we were talking about what was worth buying a console for.
And yeah, it is. VF is average, on a good day.
FFXI was pretty crap on the XBOX.Unless FFXI did good enough on the Xbox for them to want a creation of FFXIII.
Virtua Fighter 4 was crap, it was sluggish good thing I didn't pay for it. Tekken knocks it out the box. DOA which I really don't like just because it's on Xbox, is even better than it.

I dont think anyone here actually knows anything about VF when they say that, its all about the execution and the limitless possibilities you can chain your combos into another one. I personally dont play alot of 3-D games, but to say that VF4 was just a footnote or just slow really shows you dont know much about fighters in general...and i dont mean anything offensive by that too but it just shows...try some competition searching in your local area maybe...VF4 is very deep..so deep in fact that some say its not even worth to learn because its that hard.
One thing i loved about VF was the updated AI where they could mimick top players and 'learn' from them...while is no replacement to actual human competition, does give people more incentive to play single player and improve themselves. I hope that makes a return.
FFXI on xbox was ok...it was just a lil old Dx
People still play fighters?
Don't know anything about fighters, I've been playing them since the 80's son!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Does a game get worse because it is on a platform you don't have? ;_;
I think DoA3 on the Xbox is better than DoA2 on my PS2, and I don't have an Xbox. Both are eaten by SC though.
everything is wrapped in gray
i'm focusing on your image
can you hear me in the void?
You are only two years older than me Dx.. And it really doesnt matter about how long..its how you play them really....i know someone who used to be quite newb...he trained alot and has the right mindset and i think he is like #13 EVO or something..Charlie is the name. Thats crazy...
i dunno if you guys are being sarcastic though and i dont mean anything offensive of course, but it just feels the way people view the game as if they didnt play it at all competitively which is what it should be played as.
and people still play RTS/FPS?!? X3
I was going to say "RTS> urface imo", then I remembered I play fighters more than RTS nowadays.

Nah it was a joke...unless i completely missed yours...>_>; I love RTS and FPS too if done right.
On a seperate note to try to keep on topic and off....I hope VF5 is EVO compatible...#1 way of getting competition if its famous. And Guilty Gear Accent Core is out since Wednesday on the a-cho arcade in japan. I cant wait til people import the machine sooner or later.
I've said several times on this site that Virtua Fighter should be its own genre. It stands out far apart from the Tekkens and Soul Caliburs. They really shouldn't be compared, because they are on very different levels.
Tekken and Soul Calibur are very newbie-friendly games with a lot of depth for people who like to get deep into the system. They are accessible enough so that even the average non-skilled gamer can go in, kick some butt and have fun.
Virtua Fighter on the other hand doesn't have the same level of accessibility of those other 2. There are a couple of characters that are easy to use and be fairly effective with, but it's not until you really sink your teeth into it and get past the button-mashing stage that you really see how deep it is. VF is a game you have to commit to to really learn, and a lot of people just can't handle it. So they write it off.
It's a shame.
