The rumors were true. Neat. RGG does good work and hope it was worth waiting 20 years. VF5 is still amazing.
I did not know about that.
But what I know is Ryu Ga Gotoku (Like a Dragon/Yakuza) Studio is part of the Development Division 1 of SEGA, which is the newest encarnation of the last CS1 (another CS1 existed during the 90s, no direct relation), which was the new name of NE (New Entertainment R&D Dept), which was the new name of Amusement Vision (the people who did F-Zero GX in Gamecube and F-Zero AX in Arcades, for example).
And Amusement Vision was created around 1995 as AM11, being a direct spun off of AM2, the original creators of Virtua Fighters series, from the very first one to the 5 (apparently, AM1 did "VF Remix", with AM2 support).
So, they seem to be the most qualified, historically, to do the new entry.
Yu Suzuki has been gone from Sega fot a long time. They’ll probably still keep the AM2 logo though.
Best announcement of the show in my book, even with Witcher 4 and Outer Worlds 2. My favorite fighting game series of all time is finally back.
The GOAT returns at last. Excited to see more. Looks so fluid.
They revealed back in november that they were working on a new vf game. I wasn't shocked to see during the game awards. But glad its coming/
We want the arcade ports of first 5 virtua fighter games on Switch please. I can play virtua fighter 32x on my retroid as well as vf3, but they are no match for the arcade versions. The ps3 vf2 is arcade perfect but I want a mobile version, not to mention VF4 and VF5 model 3 arcade versions!
