Virtua Fighter 6

SEGA AM2 said they need to find out what would worth to make a Virtua Fighter 6... (lol we know it's all about money ¥ € $).


So let's go now, this is a couple of reasons to make a new VF.

 

A lot of good Ideas AM2 should look at here. Technically it's VERY important that VF6 continue to be ahead of its time.
A Graphically outstanding game could make VF a commercial and critical success.

A story mode could show off animations modelisations and stage better than in just replays .
Patchinko Slot Story mode highlighted VF5. it was the same 3D engine modelisation but the game looked graphically better.
Good cinematics can showcase the aestetic beauty of the game. (facial animations blood spots sweat saliva shedded wet clothes dirt snow eather time changes etc..)then it would be more appealing not only for casuals but also for new comers.
Casuals are important for the success of an AAA game.
And the only way to not casualise the system but bring to VF casual is killer Graphics and Story mode.

 

Some quick ideas I worked on, normal pic is top left.

 

Yes with a better lighting, with the sun or the moon, a torch of fire, floor lamp...

But also the 4 seasons and a lighting of wet autumn or morning spring, a lighting of sunset summer on the beach, a grey lighting in winter with the snow...

 

I always though this stage would look dope with rain on it, and this edit proved me i was right A stage like this would look too awesome especially with the characters going all wet.

 

How do you know?

 

Cause shiny knows everything.

 

What?... What the name of the faq?!

 

Looking at what Christian whitehead did with sonic, the only option is for nerds in our community who can code to actually make VF6

 

Well it was a bunch of fans who created the greatest SOR fan game ever so...

 

As VF fans we must do the same in other words. We have to truly understand VF ourselves to do it.

I'm coder but on the hobbist angle - don't have experience professionally. But I'd be interested in networking with folks here both on the design and coding angles - both are extremely important.

 

Just out of curiosity, did Sega ever have any official statement on VF in general. I thought there was something said a couple of years ago or so, particularly about VF6. I remember there was a petition that followed along by a fan.

 

You're all Idiots! AM2/Sega doesn't care, even if 1000x people outside of JP was playing FS won't make a difference. And yes even during the VF4 era. Why don't people play VF, it's not meant for Wankers & there's no real Comp. Anyone who knows VF especially outside of JP, would never care for the next installment. Top tiers, knew that playing the current version to its full potential was going to take very long time.

Lastly, don't use Akira.

 

VF6 Special "Not for Wankers" Edition:

Contains extreme "not for wankers" mode where all attacks are just frames and you die from a single hit.

I remember years ago they said this:

Q: Will we ever learn more about VF's mysterious story - for example, will Sarah ever recover from J6?

A: Please look forward to the future story development. Makoto Osaki

Q: Let's talk about the theoretical future for the series. Would you ever consider a radically different direction for Virtua Fighter 6, for example a realtime 'ragdoll' physics gameplay system - with dedicated physics hardware becoming popular, this could be a significant advance - could this ever work? Or could it be "realism overkill", as Suzuki-san once described it?

A: Though we cannot answer specifically about our internal technologies in detail, we would not like to rule out attempts at any and all technologies, if we are convinced that it would make Virtua Fighter new and fun. Makoto Osaki

And this quote from Haneda:

"Even if we were to make a Virtua Fighter 6, we would need it to have something to make it worthy of the number ?6' or we wouldn't be able to give it a number."
