I can't wait to hear what news there will be, this is what i am hoping:
-Virtua Fighter 6 for next-gen systems.
-Virtua Fighter for Vita/3DS
-Digital ports of older games such as VF 1,3, and 4.
-Official DOA Vs. VF.

Well i'm glad Sega is doing something in honor of the series 20th, i don't believe they did anything for their 15th at least here in the US.

-Some updates for Final Showdown.

So excited! I try to be optimistic about what Sega will be doing over the next few years, but it's not easy when you don't hear anything from them for ages. Will be scrutinising this site for further announcements and developments. I'm sure they will put on a good show for this over there, and hopefully we'll see plenty of famous players and staff celebrating the series in the manner it deserves.

Does anyone know when will they announce anything? or tease more info?
UPDATE: I just came across this, apparently we will hear something Dec. 26th.

Update 2: I just realized u guys did have the info from this link already, silly me.

I WANT a RETAIL VF Collection with VF4FT & VF5R!!
VF6 also welcome!!

Maybe Sega Cup 2nd will be announced soon. It was announced around this time last year.

If all we get is another Special Bingo event for arcades, I'll scream.

F2P version of Final Showdown.

For start, I want that VF20th Anniversary in wallpaper size!

FS is already F2P. In fact, we are stealing SEGA.

DoA 5 Ultimate: Core Fighters is a F2P. Rotating available characters to test, and 4 totally free. In fact, my local DoA scene (Argentina), is slowly growing up thanks to this model. FS is just... a very cheap game.

Time to wait and see what happens next. Hopefully they announce VF6
Happy anniversary VF <3

I know the hate will come, but my guess is they will do nothing. Sorry I'm no longer optimistic when it comes to Sega. I put a $100 bucks December 26th will come and no announcement will be made. Six to eight months later they will announce that the announcement has been delayed with no further explanation or ETA for when more information will come. However, if an announcement is made it will only benefit Japan.

The proof is in the pudding....

Announced July 9th 2012 for Early 2013


After much backlash from the fans about Sega's silence they finally confirm that the game has been delayed with no further information although it has been stated that localization has been completed. *sorry can't find the source article at the moment*

Delay confirmation March 25th 2013

Sega says screw the Americans. Let's just work on getting it out to more Asian countries for 2014. Screw the Americans who love and support us, who has been spending crazy dollars for the import servers even though we just ban them for no reason. Yeah we did say anyone from anywhere could play, but we meant anyone except the Americans.

Gaijin go home you can't play here!

Announced for Asia 2014

Sega's biggest problem is they always keep their fans in the dark way longer than they should. Their other biggest problem is they never give fans what they want. Ask for a new Daytona you get Sonic with wheels. Ask for a new Streets of Rage beat'em up get Sonic and Knuckles co-op. Ask for a JRPG you get Sonic with RPG elements. Ask for a great puzzler like Chu Chu Rocket you get Sonic & Tails puzzler. Ask for Shenmue 3.... GET CRICKETS! Although FINALLY I do think a Shenmue 3 may be coming soon since Yu Suzuki will be doing an hour long segment on it at GDC 2014 and Shenmue 3 was recently trademarked by Sega.

Anyway I'm done for now!

i remember somewhere that the company bringing it to different parts of asia were working on enligsh servers. i have the link somewhere give me abit.

While it sounds good it still sounds like an empty promise to me. North America has been waiting well over 1 year for any kind of news from Sega. You would think that IF this company knew the NA servers would be going online in 2014 then Sega would also know this too. If this is a known fact within Sega then why haven't they taken the time out to relay this message to the franchise fans? If you head over to blogs.sega.com and check the PSO2 forums there is nothing rolling in there but tumble weed. The few that's hanging on is still making noise and asking for some kind of an update, but Sega isn't responding at all. One can only assume because they just don't care. They have botched this release so bad that most die hard fans have simply just let it all go and moved on to other MMO's.

Again Sega's biggest problem is they keep their fans in the dark way longer than they should. IMO it's so easy to please fans by doing the dumbest of repetitive shit. For example, the game is delayed but to hold everyone's interest and to keep their faith that Sega will deliver why not release a new trailer. The trailer can be something as simple as taking the JP trailer and doing an English voice over. Sure most people will see it and be like I already saw this, but the fact that it's an english trailer will only make a fan go "OMG OMG OMG OMG! YES YES YES YES!".

Just the fact that you are watching the trailer with an english dub voice over only renews your faith in Sega and their promise to deliver the franchise. Once your faith has been restored all anger and frustration related to the wait is thrown out the door. Also that same renewed faith will only help Sega in the long run gain more subscribers. Fans will be talking so much and so positively that they will be selling the game for Sega before it even comes out. How many of us have bought a game simply because of that one friend who just wouldn't stop talking about it like it was the greatest thing ever since VF? I can count like 20 friends who convinced me to buy a game I knew nothing about or would normally pass up.

This is the same route they could have taken with FS instead of keeping quiet for so long. Sega always keep so quiet that people often lose interest so badly that even when the game comes out they don't care anymore. While we gain a decent amount of new players with FS we also lost a lot of people who were around during vanilla.

The only exception to this is if you are within Japan. They speak so loudly to the Japanese market that's it's heard all the way over here and around the world. We are in 2013 man and when you are developing a major franchise like VF or PSO devs need to wake up and start speaking on a global scale. The time of simultaneous worldwide releases should be now in this generation.

When it comes to something you are passionate about like gaming. No news is bad news in my opinion especially if you the company puts it out there as a promise. I'd rather a company tell me "hey man we are sorry, but for reasons we can't disclose we are not going to release Reggae Fighter 16: Bloodcaat Remix in North America." than to always plead the fifth with bullshit like "no comment... we haven't decided yet." etc.

At least I know where I stand as a gamer and more importantly as a customer. I can then decide where I want to devote my time. Do I stick with Reggae Fighter 15 and be happy with that or do I move on to another game or genre until the next one is released that I think will be more worth my time?

Mods apologies! I'll stop derailing this thread! Sorry but Sega just pissing me off lol

I've been a fan since 1986 and while they owe me nothing I can't help but hate the Sega of today compared with the Sega of the past.

VF Collection for STEAM.

DO IT SEGA!!
