      I noticed most characters looks close to their CG in-game. Sarah looked a bit weird in the trailer but maybe was the angle. And the trailer could be from an old build (It said work in progress)

      I also won't mind some change in the lifebars design.

      It’s been ages since I last posted here. Forgot my old password so I just created a new to avoid all the hustle.


      Like many of you guys I’m excited for announcement and at the same time I have many concerns. I’ll give my opinion from being in the gaming industry in general and a 3D character artist in specific.


      Some guys here liking what they’re seeing and some are disgruntled with the looks of the game. And this is pretty much understandable. So let me explain why (how) the game looks the way it looks now. What can be fixed and vise-versa.


      First, the original game is over 15 years old if we put into account the time it took to develop. So many of the tools and techniques are outdated. ZBRUSH wasn’t wildly used at then and SoftimageXSI was still the main tool to develop on. Autodesk stopped support of XSI around 2015, so many Japanese companies moved to Maya as their main 3D tool. So if your hoping for a whole new models and animations, most likely not gonna happen, due to the fact of the character rigs and joints are outdated and the knowledge of using XSI is mostly lost. Unless you’re an old geezer that is. Which brings me to the next point.


      Looking carefully at the character models, it’s clear that whomever worked on them probably 2~3 people, maximum. They didn’t build new models, they just sculpted on the originals and backed the normals and probably they added few vertices here and there to smooth the jagged edges. Although I somewhat know the reason for the to do so but still I was disappointed of the end result.

      The renders are pretty good, but looking at Dural one

      "Dural character is not playable in this game"

      The first victim of the so called esport :(

      Personally i'm glad Dural is no playable. One of the thing that I love most about VF is that it's grounded with realistic looking characters using real martial arts without being over-the-top. Making Dural playable would have break a bit this core aspect imo.

      I hope so much for Sarah that she has a better face because that was a bit shocking lol.

      I don't know what is the problem with people for the lifebar ? I think it's good and modernized, it's a bit Yakuza style and it fit well for VF. It reminds me the one of GG Strive too.

      I'm not that bothered about the way it looks, it's the gameplay that concerns me. If there not going to change anything it makes me wish they'd stopped at VF5R. R is touted as the best in the VF5 series and the one I most wanted to play but we never got it on consoles. This would've been a remaster of VF5R.

      Lifebars looks a bit too basic imo, but it doesn't look ugly either.

      But I will be quite annoyed if there won't be costumes options tho.

      I have never played VF5R, why some people say it's best vf5? What made it better than FS? I can say for sure that FS was huge improvement over vf5 vanilla in many ways.

      You never know, vf5us may and will probably surpass vf5r and vf5fs for sure.

      The lifebars look kinda generic, basic and low quality. VF always had, in addition to high end graphical quality, top quality UI that feels leaps ahead of competition. If you looked at VF4- onward life bars you will understand.

      VF5R's UI was top notch... Look at the life bars of that game to understand what we mean.
      These things tend to grow on you. I'd not be surprised if people call for these lifebars whenever a higher end one ends up being shown for whatever next VF project. People tend to un-hate and change their minds about a lot of things.

      The old throw system and movement system were much more interesting. You can't even back crouch dash cancel in FS. I also personally liked the idea of throw attack clash which used to be there even if it may have needed a bit more refining.

      I don't know, nowadays it seems that "fun is not allowed" in fighting games, thanks to esport.
      Dural was very fun to play even in VF5 vanilla, especially to wind down after more serious VS matches.

      The single player content is already barebones in VF5US, if you get rid also of the classic unlockable Dural what remains?

      If they make her kind of Mokujin or eleven without the broken stuffs I don't mind her much. Or if they keep her broken they can make her playable is solo modes, like Inferno in sc6.

      I see, can't speak really as I haven't play R but if it was this good and a lot of players like it this much, they may bring back some of its unique aspects in US maybe?

      Yes I believe you.

      People will have different opinion about things. People say the new life bars are cheap... I don't think of them this way personally. I prefer the older more sophisticated ones, but they are fine

      VF1 VF2 VF3 lifebars were simple af.

      VF5 lifebars are just VF4 lifebars again with that art style from the 2000's, so i'm ok for some change and evolving a bit.

      Why no one didn't shit at all on GG Strive lifebars ? It's kinda the same style of lifebars...

      Thanks for the link, those images do look better and even the screenshots look nicer than what we saw in the video. I'm not sure why they would put out a video that looked so bad, but after seeing these images I'm going to be hopeful that it will look better than what we've seen so far.

      The infinites are awesome in it, lol. It's a game that didn't release anywhere outside of Japanese arcades, so it'll maintain mythical status based on that and it helps people trying to gatekeep the series.


      I'm ready for next week. I'm hoping for rollback. Game is looking nice and I want to see more. Excited to hear the music, too!

      Pointless to remake FS, but seeing as they have it's especially pointless to not release it on modern consoles and P.C.

      Looks like it was developed by interns :/
