So, IGN released the trailer for Virtua Fighter 5: Ultimate Showdown. This happened two days before the actual VF annoucement was supposed to take place (May 27).
Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown is set to release on June 1st.
Maybe the Tuesday presentation will be used to showcase more of the gameplay and features that weren't mentioned in the trailer? We have to wait and see.
Highlights from article:
The HUD looks low-effort. At least give us the option to change between different HUD designs.
PS4 exclusive? So that means no Xbox or PC version? Really SEGA?
I can understand lack of Switch version due do this version of VF5 using the Dragon Engine and the Switch not being able to run it natively (i.e No cloud version). If the Switch can actually run that engine then I'll like to be proven wrong.
"Why are people complaining about this being a console exclusive? You do realize that the PS4 is one of THE best selling consoles of all time, right?"
I'm sure everyone is aware of that. After all, it sold like 115.9 million units as of the sales latest sales report. The reason why people are complaining (myself included) is because there's a sizable playerbase who are based on PC. All the other fighters showed on PC. There is no major fighting game that has missed the PC release (the exception being Smash for obvious reasons). SEGA recently started expanding some of it's franchises such as Yakuza into Xbox and PC, so why make an exception with Virtua Fighter? Also, cross-play would prevent a split player-base during the games most important moment of their life-cycle (launch) which can help to show much more genuine, visible interest to SEGA for the VF series. To show SEGA that yes, people DO care about VF.
