@UnwantedSpam As a former Gametap subscriber, and current 360 owner, that really is a GREAT feature of PS+. It would be nice/smart if MS copied it. Anyhow, yeah, its up for a month, so get it, play the heck out of it, and if you like it? $15 isn't much to pay at all! ^_^
Well, some people would've preferred to pay more and get more. I think Sega went this route since VF is a niche title, even among fighting fans (crying shame, that). I'm just happy to get it...
VF4 and VF4 Evo was a high-water mark for the genre, IMO.
That said, I think the problem with fighting game reviews is that the true measure of a fighting game is measured years after the fact. Is the community still playing it? Have they destroyed the engine? Has it held up? Stuff like that.
I think for a $15 title, this is a bargain. I would've preferred VF5 have been upgradable to this, though :(
Probably feedback from players. Notice that they also prettied her up compared to VF4? She has lighter skin, a bigger bust, softer features, and isn't ripped/muscular in VF5.
Right now Skullgirls and Virtua Fighter 5:FS have the best tutorials. Skullgirls' tutorial is supposed to an excellent one for fighting games in general, actually, showing what and why you do things.
VF is probably one of the worst possible games to just jump into. The system is quite deep (even after some of the simplification changes they made), and like many 3d fighters all characters have extensive move lists and character vs character specific matchups. However, the tiers between characters (worst, average, good, best) is fairly narrow compared to other games, so its very well balanced.
Worth trying, IMO. Just take your time! I've been playing since VF1, and have loved it all these years ^_^
Gah... darn patent legal spaghetti. And since they're going through the ITC, that means its less likely any invalid patents will get struck down. The patent system really needs to catch up to the digital world...
@lewser5 Well, they got who they could get. I suspect she might not have been interested, or getting her there wasn't feasible (ie, most of those guys lived there, and she moved, no contact information available).
