Downloading now.

I thought the Bee Movie demo was better than the Conan demo.

The game is looking very nice. Anyone who says DOA4 looks better, or even close, should get his eyes checked.

The gameplay? I' m not worthy enough to comment it because I haven' t played Virtua Fighter in ages. Wouldn' t want to give false impressions to you hardcore VF fans.

Ok, I have no idea how to play VF5.

But it looks eyegasmic gorgeous, no jaggies, smooth 60fps gameplay.

I definitely think it looks better than DOA4, te only thing DOA has on it is better
backgrounds.

Out of the charactrs available, I definitely love the monkey girl.

No because curiously enough I have never owned a pair, and no I don' t need to
buy a pair.

Seriously, I think the backgrounds in DOA are much more detailed, and the fact they are interactive is certainly a plus as well.

VF5 does have better textures, character modelling, animation, fluidity, funnier
diaoluge (start running NOOOWOWOWOWOWOWOOW).

DOA4 just has better backgrounds and a better story.

El Blaze, his dialogues are... who did the voice acting anyway?

I think the backgrounds in VF5 are much better looking. Both artistically and technically. The lighting sure helps the game look good.

Hmm, I might play DOA4 again just to make sure my memory is correct, because
you have managed to convince me that all is not as it seems, and seeing as you
are someone of sound intelligence I' ll chance another gander at DOA4 before
making a new decision.

I' m not saying DOA4 looks bad in any way, but I think the buildings and all the surroundings look less atmospheric than the ones in VF5.
Objects and buildings in VF5 seems to have some kind of realistic depth, they look solid somehow.
Surroundings in DOA4 look a little more like flat side-scenes.

Even if you break 2 legs from a crab it still runs!
What you gotta do is find its weak spot and do massive damage at it.

Just finished playing this and I cannot see for the life of me what all the fuss is about, it is nothing to really shout about, the graphics are of an arcade quality of about 5 or so years ago, seen better and this will not be making my ' wanted' list.

Yer Gin. VF5 is AAA star Quality. won' t find a fighter anywhere near it for gameplay, VF5 is soo F^cking tight. Graphically it' s elegantly beautiful. With perfect lighthening and the best motion capture to collision on the planet.

What was in arcades 5 years ago? I haven' t walked into an arcade in so long...


Anyway, we all know VF looks good. It always has. How about some significant observations? Animations, tight control, etc. ?

this guy is crazy , the game was released on aracad in 2006, and it was mind blowing at the time, today it still looks great... if you really think that you' ve seen soemthing similar 5 years ago , or 3 years ago, we probably don' t live in the same planet.

What absolute crap you talk sometimes, The graphics are no better than those of 5 years ago, with the Tekkan series and the VF series. The only difference is that it is in your home and you don' t have to load it up with coins. If anyone was playing those games back then they will agree.

Nothing from 2002 had realtime self-shadowing and the kinds of liquid and cloth physics seen in VF5.

What kind of games do you play anyway, Alijay? I' m envisioning a lot of wrestling games and Madden in your collection.

It says Virtua Fighter 4 2002 but it' s pretty clear that someone just placed a 4 over a 5 and put a 2 next to the 2006.

Well actually no you couldn' t be further from the truth.

Oblivion, MoHAA, CoD, Battlefield, NWN, Forza, Halo, PGR, TDU amongst a few I have in my collection from over the years. That coupled with the Intellivision I have lurking in the attic somewhere, the CBM 64, Amiga 1000 and 4000 Mega Drive and SNES lurking in boxes somewhere. I think that might just answer your question.

As for your images VF. Wow they added some brightness oh lets all bow down to the abilty to add a bit of brightness to the thing. I still find it hard to find the ' Innovative quality' or the ' Next gen' feel to it. It looks the same as it did 5 years ago just a bit brighter whoopie shit, lets make it game of the year shall we?

Ah yes, you are correct. But now I have replaced the detector with a new one, the Ultra 2000 X model with 512mb RAM. I am now a sarcasm master.

I fired up the demo yesterday evening and played against the CPU. Although my favorite characters, Lau and Shun, were unavailable, I had fun wailing on opponents with Akira. It seemed a bit on the easy side, but of course the real game is against human foes!

No, that model is three years old, the current Ultra 5000 X has 2GB of RAM.

While I' ll always prefer the characters of Virtua Fighter over Dead or Alive and Tekken, I like the backgrounds/environments of the Dead or Alive series more simply because they' re multi-tiered AND interactive. You' re not limited to the same background during a fight, one well-placed hit will send your opponents smashing through a wall, over a railing, through stained glass, down a long-flight of stairs onto a new locale with your fighter following. I' ve lost many fights against the CPU simply because my focus was in trying to see as much of the environments as possible.

Pff, nothing beats the old Mortal Kombat games when it comes to knocking people to another part of town, not to mention a SNES Dragon Ball game were you can knock people all the way to heaven

But it' s not just about knocking them to another part of town and the fight being over, it' s about knocking them to another part of town and following them to that other part of town to continue the fight.

I LOVED Fighting Vipers because you could destroy the arenas by sending your opponents crashing through them with a KO blow

The graphics are good, and they look better than DOA4. But it is really, really easy to make environments look nice when you can only see them from one angle.
The beach level graphics could use some work on the grassy area. That just looks bad, the rest of it looks good though.

The AI was piss poor easy to beat. I hope that was on easy, I didn' t even lose one match and I played through it twice, and I barely have any exprience playing VF. Would have been nice to have a harder opponent to get a feel for the depth of the game or something.

It seems like there are a lot of moves and the skill comes in from knowing what moves are good against other people at what times and such. I think I prefer the DOA with added reversals gameplay over it, I' m not really that big of a fighting game fan though.

It looks like it' ll be a good game though.

I finally downloaded this and will now provided you with my highly coveted opinions.

The game itself is pretty fun, but this demo was way easy... almost as easy as the final boss in Super Metroid on the SNES (though I think you can actually lose a round if you put down the controller in VF5). I used my power moves that I learned in the Sega classic Shenmueâ„¢ and totally PWNT every opponent.

As for the graphics I think that perhaps the characters are a little too shiny, but other than that everything looked pretty good. The music takes itself way too seriously and isn' t as fun as it was in the first two games, though Virtua Fighter music has never been outstanding.
