Virtua Fighter
• It is online and esports focused and has online and offline modes including customization modes.
• There are new characters with a modern art style and character artist.
• It is a game concept that changed many times since 2021 up to now.

• Streaming and spectating implementation is an important part of this title and Super Game concept.
• It is a reboot of the Virtua Fighter series in development by current Virtua Fighter staff.
• It is a title releasing on all major platforms with crossplay and rollback.

This is a Virtua Fighter title that is developed to be a modern competitor to Street Fighter and Tekken with esports concepts and mechanics that are similar to current Street Fighter and other fighting games. It is a concept that evolved a lot.

And there is all new main story and side stories with brand new characters.

And there is an evolution of ranked matches that is similar to modern fighting games. This is a title that is focusing on scaling with the player and their play styles when they play online.

why does it have to be a reboot?! why can't it be just, ya know, Virtua Fighter 6?!

and why do they have to add a story mode to a Virtua Fighter game?! not having an in-game story is part of Virtua Fighter's identity! give it a story mode, and it's no longer a Virtua Fighter game

god, that's about as garbage of a decision as removing insta-kills from Guilty Gear Strive was

That's the most nonsensical criticism I've ever seen. The reason Virtua Fighter didn't have a story is because games in general at time if it's first release didn't focus on that, but as time went on, that changed on other franchises. And that lack of story is probably why Virtua Fighter was dead for so long to begin with, it was just generic character archetypes with very little to tie them up. Tekken stayed strong through it's story, nonsensical as it was, and DoA kept itself alive through fanservice and got shit on as soon as it tried to drop that. Virtua Fighter may have revolutionized the 3D fighter genre, but once other fighters had that + something to set them apart, Virtua Fighter had no leg to stand on.

No, the reason Virtua Fighter was dead for so long was because it simply wasn't Sonic, and Sonic (and also Puyo Puyo and Like A Dragon) was the only thing Sega cared about for a long time.

Hell, by the time the first Virtua Fighter games got released, other fighting games already had a bigger focus on story (such as King of Fighters and Street Fighter Alpha), so the Virtua Fighter games leaving the story out of the game itself was a deliberate choice.

Virtua Fighter isn't the kind of game that serves you the story on a silver plater. You have to WORK for it by doing your own damn research, and that's what made Virtua Fighter stand out, and a dedicated Story Mode would take all of that away.

Like it or not, a substantial story mode is an important part of the package now.

We're not in the arcade days anymore when you could chip in a few quarters and play for about 30 minutes.  It's expected that purchasing a home release for 70 bucks or so is going to afford you more content.  Street Fighter V did not do that, and it was part of the reason why it had such a poor launch, and part of the reason why that mistake has not been repeated.  Sega does clearly intend for VF to be one of their flagship brands, so it's unlikely that they'll release a low budget meat and potatoes fighting game package for a discounted price.  They already did that with Ultimate Showdown, and it's great, but they seem to be looking to release something of a much higher scope.

A story mode will not deprive Virtua Fighter of its identity.  The only thing that could do that would be drastic changes to the formula.

Evo Japan is probably where we'll get the announcement. With a new VF and a new Fatal Fury in the horizon and with SF6 being such an amazing game, this might be my favorite Fighting games generation ever.

Partly related to that news: SooA, the "Queen of KOF" got sick after the past SWA tournament and got into hospital. She's getting better, but probably will miss EVO... I know about her thanks to Twitter and her KOFXV gameplays and she's just awesome, I hope she get well soon

Rest in peace, Toriyama-san...
