As a huge VF fan i cannot WAIT to get this. No more having to hook up my PS3 to play final showdown, and i love the new "coat of paint" this version has. The Yakuza team did a great job with the models and stages. And the best part is that this is free for people with PS Plus. I can only hope this means we will be getting a VF6 soon. Thank you SEGA.
I’ll never forget those family get togethers at my Grandmas house. Especially Easter of 2002, bcuz my uncle had VF4 on PS2. 🤣 When u have a small room w/ about 15+ kids, ages 5-15, in 2002, playing VF4, you’re gonna have some memories to look back on. 💯 I hope VF5 has a big turnout next week. 🤲🏼🌹🤲🏼
Fun Fact: Virtua Fighter 5 first came out on July 2006 in the Arcades at Japan. It never had a PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 Release until 2007 and then was Re-Released in 2012 as VF5: Final Showdown
Also Fun Fact: In between the years of 2006 to 2012,Sega released a revision of the game called Virtua Fighter 5R that came out in 2008. It is where Jean comes into the series for the first time along with Taka's return. Sadly it was not only an arcade exclusive, but it was also a Japanese exclusive as well.
It feels like they're testing the water here. My thought, they are going to see how popular this gets and uses the Yakuza engine to continue the series if the demand is there. That's really the only reason I can see them revamping this using a new engine and redesigning the UI. They want to make this look REALLY good. Sony has the means to analyze the metrics of PS Plus, they know how many people get into this. If this is popular enough, we might hear talk about a VF 6
I wonder if they already pulled some metrics from the Yakuza series to gauge VF's potential success. Almost every Yakuza game had an iteration of VF in it, and perhaps with Yakuza's current popularity, they were able to gather up player data showing how much virtual yen people threw at the series within Kamurocho's arcades (I know I dumped my fair share).
Reminds me of when Capcom released the DarkStalkers Collection for digital download back in the PS3 era. They wanted to gauge the interest in making a new installment in the franchise. It topped the charts as I recall, but that still wasn't enough for Capcom. Virtua Fighter is popular in the FGC but has never done well in mainstream audiences, especially in the west. Hopefully PS Plus changes that.
The creator of the yakuza games has stated that kiryu will not be in any fighting games as it won't be right for him to hit a woman. But it would be cool though
@@danaltamirano2546 Not only a trans woman, but also a trans man, and also he slaps Haruka, so like, even if you're a transphobe he has overstepped this line in every possible permutation XD
Yeah having game company’s premiering trailers on IGN always kinda annoys me. I get IGN has a big audience but the visual difference has happened before, also unskipplbe adds 😔
“I got no time for you!” “I’m faster than lightning” “It’s like your moving slow motion!” “I’ll give you 100%!” “Yeah, less talk, more action!” Jacky main since VF4
this makes me wish they could establish that the Yakuza franchise takes place in the "Virtua" universe, have Judgement cross over with Virtua Cop and such
That would indeed be cool. Sometimes I wish that the "Fighters MegaMix" fighters could all be in the same verse, but on the other hand Fighting Vipers characters don't quite fit the tone Virtua Fighters is going for. Virtua Cop with Yakuza and Virtua Fighter feels like a way better match though.
Here's how your experience with VF will go. Ahem. You will play it for a little bit, and then you'll never touch it again for 5 years. Then you'll play it for a little bit again, and then you'll never touch it again for another 5 years. And so forth and so on.😆
@@TheSymbioteRagnoro Geese and Noctis were great though. Geese felt much better implemented going from 2D to 3D than Akuma imo and Noctis after some changes in S3 felt right at home as a Tekken character.
Namco: that's why TEKKEN is the number one fighting game right now, and Virtua Fighter is irrelevant and there hasn't been a new entry in the series for 15 years, because you want to "do your own thing", SEGA. SEGA: 😭 Namco: exactly😏
@@GetterRay I was mostly talking about it from a tech point of view. The JRPG change is still pretty great and as long as they improve Judgments combat then it should be good
Max seems to be one of the few RUclipsrs that know the difference between a remaster and remake. Unfortunately, lots of content creators/journalists/PR dudes in the past few years have completely confused the two terms. Just remember, if the game world assets are rebuilt from the ground up, it's a remake. If they just went into the old project and touched certain things up (in the latest resolution) it's a remaster.
VF5 is the only game in the series I've played, so it's funny this is the one their remastering. I remember enjoying it, it looks fun, and being free on PS+ there's no reason not to try it.
I’m glad Max got blasted for his assumptions. I knew it’d be a super upgrade considering the hype Sega was building. It was huge, but big considering it was VF
Me and my older brother used to play this game for hours every weekend. Then we got older and moved apart. It’s used to be a real pain booting up the ole ps3 to play with him once in a while. Now, fight nights are back. It’d be great if there’s a healthy online scene, but I’m just happy me and my bro can play together again.
I hope they add all moves from all VF5 revisions like vanilla, 5R and FS. I really loves the throws back in vanilla and in 5R when they added more exclusive moves we haven’t seen
The pioneer of 3D fighting games since its first release. What I love about the VF series is it doesn't need flashy effects like the Tekken and Street Fighter games (although they definitely suit the latter) but just two players fighting until the last breath before the KO. A great cast of characters, awesome and authentic fighting styles - although a pro boxer would be very welcome - and moreover, it just feels so good. Oh, and the ring-outs add another layer of strategy to the fighting. Bring it on! 👊

I can't freaking wait to play this. VF was a big part of my childhood and I spent so much time playing the original game in the arcade and on my 32X that I gave myself blisters practicing the moves. Day one play!
@@shinbakihanma2749 On original hardware? Probably... 2004. Emulated the game and played again a few years back. Played 2 and 3 back in the late 90's and early 2000's at the mall's arcade (which no longer exists). I hope we can edit the size of the arenas still to make them one square wide!
This made my entire week. VF2 was the first fighting game I ever played, so the nostalgia is strong here. Also, I finally tried out Killer Instinct, and I'm enjoying the hell out of it (thanks Max!!).
@@seanmcbay The problem is that the fighting is pretty shitty compared to the other 2. If the intention was a game for the old fans, why change it? Why? And if it was made by the Yakuza team the game would have a much bigger budget. Imagine the possibilities, not only in graphics but in gameplay too. Shenmue 3 is nothing compared to what Shenmue 1 and 2 were when they released.
These VF5US in-game models kinda looks like the promotional models for the 1st VF5 backthen when it came out. Which by today's graphics capabilities, would be possible in-game. This "upgrade" kinda reminds of the recent PSO2 "upgrade". I love that there's no meter. I wonder if there'll be any new mechanics or expanses from previous ones. More animations for sure.
@@mthsdcs Doesn't that means Kiryu should never appear in Project Zone 2? I found that kind of excuse are ridiculous and hypocritical. The dev maybe just too lazy to do anything.
@@313gwar I’m not shitting on the game itself? Moreso the subscription. It would be all well and good if ps plus operated like Xbox Gold and you keep said game forever without plus until the liscense expires in 40 years lol
@@leithazizpagy4699 Yeah Yakuza is definitely one of those games that has a slow start but once you get past it the game is amazing. Judging the game only within the first hour or so is really not experiencing Yakuza at all.
I haven't played VF in forever. I remember characters having such large movelists that you never even see like 80%-90% of their moves get used in a match. Either way, I'm definitely getting this. I know I've played at least to VF4 before, but my most vivid memories of the series are from VF2, before things got absurdly technical. This is probably going to feel like jumping into the series for the first time for me since it's been so long, so I'm looking forward to that.
You would think by now Sega would release a Virtua Fighter Collection, with all the VF's in one, art collection and museum and history. It's got such a rich history and is still well regarded. Maybe I'm the only one who would like that and buy it, but damn, it would be awesome to have. Also has Dural gone full 70's naked in that picture 11:16?
My prediction probably Majima or Saejima I know people really desperate want Kiryu need to be in there but the Creator itself doesn't want Kiryu hit women or into any Fighting Games that has women

I can't freaking wait to play this. VF was a big part of my childhood and I spent so much time playing the original game in the arcade and on my 32X that I gave myself blisters practicing the moves. Day one play!
When was the last time you played any Virtua Fighter game?
@@shinbakihanma2749 On original hardware? Probably... 2004. Emulated the game and played again a few years back. Played 2 and 3 back in the late 90's and early 2000's at the mall's arcade (which no longer exists). I hope we can edit the size of the arenas still to make them one square wide!
I just hope it gets a tutorial on the level of VF4E...
Gods, that game was a gateway to Fighting Game Arcade Heaven for what it offered to teach me...
There are so many fighting game concepts i learned from the vf 4 evo tutorial.I will forever be grateful.
I hope we get the massive color/outfit mode we got in Final Showdown. Not super bare bones. 🤞🏾🙏🏾
I want the Quest Mode to return too.
good to see a classic back in any way shape or form
Watching VF 5 tournaments back then were 🔥
There you go, Pat.
He only cares it has rollback at this point.
I was wrong about the franchise... Need to buy this instantly! 🤩😅
You weren't wrong about the franchise. Virtua Fighter is still irrelevant and no one plays it, nor cares about it.😆
A lot of people in the DOA community will be definitely trying this game out
This made my entire week. VF2 was the first fighting game I ever played, so the nostalgia is strong here. Also, I finally tried out Killer Instinct, and I'm enjoying the hell out of it (thanks Max!!).
If only the Yakuza team went to work on Shenmue 3.
@@seanmcbay The problem is that the fighting is pretty shitty compared to the other 2. If the intention was a game for the old fans, why change it? Why?
And if it was made by the Yakuza team the game would have a much bigger budget. Imagine the possibilities, not only in graphics but in gameplay too.
Shenmue 3 is nothing compared to what Shenmue 1 and 2 were when they released.
Finally!!! I was tired to see Akira and co only like guest characters
Love your stuff dood
These VF5US in-game models kinda looks like the promotional models for the 1st VF5 backthen when it came out. Which by today's graphics capabilities, would be possible in-game.
This "upgrade" kinda reminds of the recent PSO2 "upgrade".
I love that there's no meter.
I wonder if there'll be any new mechanics or expanses from previous ones. More animations for sure.
I just want Kiryu in the game so he can literally bash someone's face on the wall or knee them on the face.
7:19 seeing it now, Akira is starting to look Kiryu-ish.
I am so excited. When I played Yakuza 6 I spent so much time just playing VF5 again in the in-game arcade.
I’ve been wanting to properly play a Virtua Fighter game for a while now. I can’t wait to play it when it comes out.
It looks insane
Aww yeah Yakuza engine for Virtua Fighter, fucking love it!!!!
I've never played a VF game before but the gameplay and animations look amazing. Definitely gonna be checking this out!
It’s been a long time since I have played Virtua Fighter! It’s a CLASSIC!!😊💙💙👊🏾
Please let them add Kiryu. Dude has needed to be in a fighting game for 15 years.
The director of Yakuza doesn't want him to hit women
@@mthsdcs Doesn't that means Kiryu should never appear in Project Zone 2? I found that kind of excuse are ridiculous and hypocritical. The dev maybe just too lazy to do anything.
Next MS should get it on Gamepass for Xbox and PC.
This is the real thing in waiting for. Why would you remaster a niche fighting game in this day and age and put it on one console.
@@spacedandy6917 Cause Sony upfronted the cash for it, that simple.
Was hoping for a PC release but maybe that'll happen later.
Hope this does well and more older games can be brought back and remastered.
Next Tuesday cannot come fast enough
Just making a note that I am apparently one of the few that bought and own VF5 Final Showdown. XD
You're one of 5 people in the world who purchased that game.😆
And to make it even sweeter, it's free with PS Plus!
And it's on psNow too
It's not free, it's a rental. The game locks if you stop paying for PS plus
@@Rough_Estimates lol that’s one thing these people don’t understand
@@alejandromomota6934 do you have to shit on everything people like. Grow up dude.
@@313gwar I’m not shitting on the game itself? Moreso the subscription. It would be all well and good if ps plus operated like Xbox Gold and you keep said game forever without plus until the liscense expires in 40 years lol
I’m stoked. Can’t wait!
Max, i've been a fan since the original, i'm more than amped for this remaster.
Shame on you for not playing the Yakuza games. Absolute must
Yeah yakuza is a fantastic series having no bad games and is one the best video game series .
Pretty sure he has so he could play virtua fighter in game.
@@thebloodedge284 Unfortunately Yakuza Dead Souls exists
Never played / watched Yakuza
@@leithazizpagy4699 Yeah Yakuza is definitely one of those games that has a slow start but once you get past it the game is amazing. Judging the game only within the first hour or so is really not experiencing Yakuza at all.
*BITCH I'M WILD!*
*I WIIIIIN!*
As someone who is huge fan of Tekken and has never played VF...I am freaking excited to try it out.
I haven't played VF in forever. I remember characters having such large movelists that you never even see like 80%-90% of their moves get used in a match. Either way, I'm definitely getting this. I know I've played at least to VF4 before, but my most vivid memories of the series are from VF2, before things got absurdly technical. This is probably going to feel like jumping into the series for the first time for me since it's been so long, so I'm looking forward to that.
Free with ps plus
It's so sad that people are calling this a tekken clone lol. VF came before tekken and some people who worked on VF worked on tekken 1
I'd even argue that Tekken might not exist if it weren't for VF lol
You would think by now Sega would release a Virtua Fighter Collection, with all the VF's in one, art collection and museum and history. It's got such a rich history and is still well regarded. Maybe I'm the only one who would like that and buy it, but damn, it would be awesome to have. Also has Dural gone full 70's naked in that picture 11:16?
VF 5 always had slight hit sparks, I'm pretty sure, maybe even 4 evo too
Would be cool if they add dlc characters from other franchises like Yakuza
My prediction probably Majima or Saejima
I know people really desperate want Kiryu need to be in there but the Creator itself doesn't want Kiryu hit women or into any Fighting Games that has women
I wouldn’t mind yagami from judgement 🙂
@@ReiSyre62 imagine Saejima hitting a woman full charge...
@@guardian7106 he also good choice
His Fighting System is so Fun to use in Judgment
Plus in sequel he got new stance so shouldn't butt hurt to pick him as Potential Candidate
@@Rough_Estimates dealt almost ½ health bar
Return of the Jacky players also known as Ken players.
Related to Scorpion players...
While I never played a VF game, I'm glad to see an old classic coming back just like that.
Final Showdown is legit one of my fav fighting game
