If you have ps+ the game is free.

IMO VF has always been a masterpiece, adding a hit spark feature that can't be turned off, would be a blemish on an otherwise perfect record afaic I know there are players that like them, players who don't care one way or the other, and players that hate them. If the feature is something that can be turned on/off then everybody wins

I just noticed that the red and blue were for the RGG studio and the AM2 studio...

The red part of Yakuza, and the blue part of AM2. Because they worked together.

This is lit !

Who was the black mask Sarah player? Was he a dev or a VF veteran?

Otorii Zara...smaller kanji above his name translated to developer and "strong player"

And wat was that mask all about

Kind of kinky if you ask me!

What a negative asshole you sound like. I don't know what you are looking at but I am seeing VF stuff pop up everywhere and the overwhelming response has been positive especially among more casual players or players that have not played since recent titles. Not seeing how you can think it DOA already when there is hype everywhere atm. The only negative comments I am seeing are mostly from people like you on this site that expect Sega to give them everything they dreamed of because the series was dormant for so long. Why can't you guys be happy that the series is coming back and this is most likely a move to garner interest for an eventual VF6 release.

Say what you will but this goofball Legacy DLC is all I could ever ask for. Excited!

I only wanted two things. The Victory screen going back to being both players being having selection choices, which they didn't do....

And push to bind button config, which they didn't show.

dohohho

Bad netcode is a deal breaker for a lot of people.

I think the hitsparks are an UI improvement to better follow the game because attack hit types are so important.

I wonder, do we know anything about customization items from Final Showdown making a comeback as well? I don't have anything against default costumes, but I really got attached to "my own creations".

this is awesome VF news!!

Any idea if there's any single player content besides Arcade and Training? Also is team battle like the one from VF3TB? Hopefully there will be new customizations items/costumes, even if it's DLC, I'll gladly buy it.

If they didn't say anything about rollback at this point... it's safe to say it's not going to have it

Yes, it sounds like as "download-o contents":

Thanks a lot, I must've skipped this.

They only show the VF1 thing as a full-game make-over--characters, stages, and UI--so probably not. Destructoid uses the term "skins" and their phrasing suggests you can do these on a per-character basis, but there's no evidence of that in the footage, and they get things like the arcade release date wrong, so I'm taking their phrasing of anything with a bit of salt.

This "Legendary Pack" VF1 thing *could* be an entirely separate game-within-a-game mode, like Virtua Fighter 10th Anniversary was in VF4: Evolution on PS2, where you found it under "Special" in Evo's Options menu and it launched a separate game (10th Anniversary had been a separate, pre-order release bonus in Japan): selecting it launched you into a completely separate game where you fought using low-poly versions of the VF4:Evo cast, and their Evo move lists (except for evade stuff, mostly), in VF1-style stage graphics, UI, and music, and with VF1 mechanics such as no side stepping, and huge slow jumps:



"Legendary Pack" could be a similar mode, only using the VF5US character roster (in low-poly form) and move sets instead of the VF4:Evo ones you got in 10th Anniversary.

But, you could also unlock low-poly VF1-style characters and at least one stage separately to play in local VS mode in Evo, and you could mix and match those, so who knows. I don't think Evo let you mix in the 10th Anniversary VF1-style UI a-la-carte, though.

One thing the Legendary Pack UI does better than the 10th Anniversary UI: 10th Anniversary had an obnoxious red flashing effect in the life bar each time the character took a hit--a 60 fps flash that wasn't in the 30 fps VF1 original, so why they added it just to gouge out eyeballs in 10th Anniversary, who knows. ; P Nice to see they didn't make that mistake in the Legendary Pack.

I can't even play my usual games, i only have vf5us in my brain right now.

I tried to play T7 to test the new balance update but the online is so trash, man i hope VF5US netcode will be solid, SEGA PLEASE

the most stupid words i heard last 10 years
VF5FS was nearly a final tuning with almost ideal balance, so no need to balance more (the best is the enemy of the good).
Changes? yes, but in new VF6. VF5FS is the end of all tunings and changes.
