This is the Patch Summary:
Various issues, no idea what they fixed.
There is no sign of any advertising
For rooms in League and Team matches, there are times when they do not work properly
Normal room works fine
I have not tested Tournament mode yet
Maybe more connection errors? Maybe a compatibility problem between Ps4 and Ps5?

Hoorah!

Virtua Fighter 5 1.50 Patch Notes | Virtua Fighter 5 December 19 Patch Notes
The only patch notes that we have so far come from the PS4’s update history. You can read the full details below.

• Added a feature to display advertisement.
• Fixed various minor issues.

So we get no new game modes, none of the rest of the customizations from VF5FS , no option to turn off hit sparks, but we do get a feature to fucking display in-game-advertisements

Unless those ads are only advertising VF6 or updates to VF5US Sega and RGG are sending us the biggest Fuck you they could possibly send

At the moment VF5US is still on my PS4., the minute I see a non VF related ad, I will delete VF5US from my PS4 and it will never see the light of day again

Seems like an Update for VF5:US is coming soon (Content Update?), possibly in the next few days before the end of the year.

Updates from Aoki san via 4Gamer (Google Translation):

<Question 4> Please tell us your aspirations for 2024 and a message for 4Gamer readers.

In 2023, as a new development for the VF series, "Virtua Fighter 3tb Online" will be launched in arcades nationwide, and at the end of the year, "Virtua Fighter esports / Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown'' will be updated. In 2024, as part of the development of "Virtua Fighter Esports", we will hold the "VIRTUA FIGHTER esports SPECIAL CUP", an official tournament open to professionals and amateurs alike, in February. We would like to make the VF series even more exciting this year (2024)!

Were the interviews somehow updated after publishing? Now, that statement reads in past tense, meaning "was" updated.

It's about time to update it.

Outd**r G**r ads are up and they look horrendus in the stages that use them. They are there on the on Screen Replay too. Please Sega, let us take these off at the very least.

Btw, putting the asterisk are there to prevent the company from getting any kind of mention in posts, and hits if one were to google the name and see mentions of it.

Outdoor Gear probably isn't a real company. Anzu is another name that was seen in ads and they are a company that offers a service to add blended in-game advertisements.

Safe to say that Sega has no real sponsors at this point in the game. I expect this will be used intermittently and this is a test. Perhaps during the next VFeS cup thing they have going on they will have a sponsor and the ads will appear on those stages.

Un F*CKN Believable Sega/RGG Give us a watered down, stripped down version of VF5FS with Tekken Skins, Tekken Music, Tekken UI, and Tekken Hit Sparks and they have the Ballz To Take away features from Virtua Fighter but add
in-game-ads

WTF

I've deleted VF5US from my system. The dozen or so folks that I play locally with have also deleted VF5US from their systems.

We swallowed the removal of offline ring names, win/loss stats, off line ranks, offline profiles and PR statements from VF5FS because sparring mode, and license mode did offer a little relief

Buf VF5US is a bridge-to-far. The level of disrespect and f*ck U coming from Sega/RGG
to the loyal fan base is simply more than I can stomach.

If I don't see any dramatic improvement with respect to the customer's interest from Sega's future offerings they'll never get another penny from me. And I'll spread the news that Sega are bums to any and every body that will listen

Wait until the new SEGA TOYS company starts pulling old arcade games then reissuing them with advertisements and commercials in them. So you play VF3 in arcades and before each match you have to watch a 30 second commercial. This is the future of gaming.
