Virtua Fighter 6

I'm enjoying all the DOA scrubs moved this to the VF6 Rumors thread. ROFL!

 

It is as much proper definition as "mashfest" is for CERTAIN other FGs.

 

Sometimes I guess that the real challenge to Sega isn't about Technical Features of Virtua Fighter 6 but how will be the best way to publish VF6 !

1. Physical Copy ?
   
2. Download only ?
   
3. DLCs characters like Killer Instinct ?

 

1. Yes please, but most likely won't happen.
2. Probably, but we don't have the 2gb limit today fortunately.
3. No thanks, *shudders if that would happen*, i could agree to DLC in the form of visual fluff and stuff not being gameplay based - but to focus on extra characters only gainable by DLC is not a route i'd like to see. Better focus as usual on balance of the core cast.

 

1. I'd rather see it crowd-funded with an alright set goal price.
since f2p is a sary tendency to an old geezer, hopefuly it won't need to happen. I'd rather they sell addons or such, it wouldn't bother those not interested in shelling out, but still i'd rather pay for silly dressing capabilities then being forced to do so to have a real experience, then i'd rather pay a sane price from the start. Subscriptions are also something i'd be against.

But 2: Yes please, console division favours no one other then the companies selling the close-in systems, no matter what one tells himself - so i'd be all for PC or multiplatform.
And while i'd be glad for having many people playing it, i wouldn't care if it was popular or "down with the cool kids" or whatever expression, though those can sometimes be tied in together.

Hopefuly they have a budget allowing for another game without needing to resort to desperate moves, by focusing on the core arcade audience first as are their habit (i think).
And both consoles and arcade are PC as it is now, there are no excuses - other then if say some corporation throws dollars at them for the costumer-anatomical-part-insertion-practice known as "timed exclusive" (or even real exclusive)

Bottom line, the hope is that they keep the core VF feeling intact (even though FS was a big change of that) while still trying to be inclusive enough to see benifits. They just don't need it tuned to fit every grandma and her toddlers. balance.

 

If it was just as an alternative way, and as you say you could buy it fully as any other game aswell - in that case i wouldn't have objections though alright.

 

16-18 jun E3
17-20 sep is Tokyo Games Show

 

CHUNITHM? Wonderland Wars? Maimai? Man, what's going on with arcade games, these days? I know that arcade games aren't as popular as they used to be, but all these new titles make me feel very sad. I miss the good old days. Oh well, I guess we won't see VF6 at this year's JAEPO Show.

 

I love the new arcade games. My only regret is that I don't have direct access to japanese arcades. They look creative and fun. For the few times I went to the arcades in Tokyo, I was flabbergasted on just the sheer amount of...stuff that was in there.

Lights, noise, music, randomness...EVERYWHERE! For every serious fighting gamer with a scowl on his face, there were 3 schoolgirls in the corner giggling and playing some form of DDR, or some dude dressed up like his favorite character in some mech arena game. It was bonkers. And I loved it.

Stuff like JAEPO makes me sad that arcades died in the west

 

I don't have problem with games like Maimai or Wonderlands Wars. I like diversity, I like to have many options. But, it's been years since the last time I played an impressive racer or a great shooter.

Wait, doesn't that mean that VF will most likely be an arcade only game?

 

Really sad news I died a little inside after reading this, I really feel for Sega and my childlike self keeps repeating to me "it's just not fair"

At this point I would rather a huge company like Sony (don't flame me) come along and buy them out...if only to preserve the jobs of its workers and keep their IP's alive. I've grown up playing Sega's games and it kills me to see them in this situation.

I won't cry at my own mother's funeral but I'll weep like a baby when/if Sega ever close their doors for good
