Looks like a very ambitious story mode?

Day one either way.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

What in the goddamned fuck was that?

 

[Puscifer]

I need to see more. I appreciate it's return but I have to say I've grown to appreciate 5 for it not being bogged down with mechanics

 

[DeVeAn]

Is this another game or the sequel? Confusing.

JP trailer

Is this another game or the sequel? Confusing.

It's Virtua Fighter VI, didn't you notice the creative use of the roman numeral VI in VIRTUA FIGHTER?

Honestly it looks like it is going to have a story mode with Shenmue/ Yakuza inspired QTE cut scenes.

That's what I'm thinking the story mode plays more around the lines of a beat him up and the versus mode is straight up Virtua fighter. It's a smart move if they can pull it off

 

[RoboFu]

Now there is something to really get excited about

 

[Hadoukens]

I skipped 5 REVO because of Secure Boot Sega, don't you dare put that in this one!

Wait I just watched it now, what the fuck is this

 

[The Cockatrice]

Reminded me of Sleeping Dogs, the chase scene. Looks nice.

 

[I Love Rock 'n' Roll]

This trailer is massive! It's got some modern Shenmue vibes that are completely welcome. I can't believe it wasn't shown in the last State of Play. It's better than 95% of what Sony showed at their so called 'fantastic' event.

I'm so hyped for Virtua Fighter VI!

I feel like there is going to be a lot of Yakuza influence in the single player story campaign. The game itself is straight up Virtua Fighter 6. Sega is going to address the lack of story driven content in the Virtua Fighter franchise with this one.

Even going back to the days of Virtua Fighter vs Tekken, Tekken would be the series with the story driven elements, and Virtua Fighter would have nothing in terms of in game narratives or even proper character endings. With VF:VI, it looks like Sega is pulling that story driven narrative aspect from the Yakuza series (and a bit from Shenmue) into the Virtua Fighter series.

 

[NT80]

They did say this was one of their most ambitious projects and they wanted to widen the scope of what a fighter is. At the end of the trailer it mentions there's showcase of the game later today.

 

[Soodanim]

I said in another thread recently that I haven't played VF but something about it interests me. I might have to get this.

 

[Aggelos]

There is also a 25-minute showcase ahead of us.

Oh, yeah totally went over my head. I enjoyed SF 6 story mode and this is RGG Studio should be great.

 

[U n i o n 0015]

What in the goddamned fuck was that?

Looks like the Mortal Kombat reboot movie, where we follow a character we don't give a fuck about just so we can get introduced to the OG fighters.

Still, VF with more of a story is a win in my book. Looking forward to it.

 

[ShirAhava]

VF has never been this interesting and this is def better than that god awful/boring anime adaptation back in the day....count me in!

 

[Alexios]

Idk what I'm looking at, trying to make a Shenmue story mode I guess but the game could suffer trying to accommodate all these extra systems at the expense of the 1 on 1 fighting. Or is it a different game, like Shenmue itself was once Virtua Fighter RPG?

Still pointless to make "new" characters that look like the old ones, like why not just make Sarah instead of Stella if she's gonna look identical and the story's brand new regardless so it's not like we'll care if she's somebody's supposed daughter or whatever.

 

[Geometric-Crusher]

I liked the story mode; it reminded me of Sleeping Dogs in the prologue missions. It has everything to be the best VF in the series.

 

[Geometric-Crusher]

Will they show more today?

 

[MiguelItUp]

Looks like a pretty interesting story mode to include in the game. I'm definitely it. Grew up with VF, can't wait to see more of the fighting game itself.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

This felt like VF is getting a shenmue like story mode

 

[DeafTourette]

Will they show more today?

Yes. Look up for the tweet about it.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Different games

 

[SSfox]

Looks dope so it's gonna have a Tekken force bta like mode. Cool

Not sure what to think about the new guy, definitely not my type. Pai look mad clean. Now REVEAL SHUN DI SEGA.

Virtua Fighter Animation slander, I will not stand!

 

[MrCunningham]

There is also a 25-minute showcase ahead of us.

Starting in less than 28 minutes:

 

[Insane Metal]

That looks absolutely nothing like the supposed footage we've seen before. What the fuck?

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

That looks absolutely nothing like the supposed footage we've seen before. What the fuck?

there's a full showcase in a few minutes, that's probably what leaked.

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

It looked like Sleeping Dogs. It is not just a fighting game?

 

[NeverYouMind]

There is nothing Virtua Fighter about this.

 

[LyricalShrike]

I am completely OK with a shenmue story with VF combat.

 

[StereoVsn]

Love the SP mode. I am sure there will be regular Arcade or VS modes.

 

[MrCunningham]

I am completely OK with a shenmue story with VF combat.

Which is funny, because that's what Shenmue originally was. A sandbox calender based RPG with a Virtua Fighter combat engine. But this looks like it will borrow elements from Like a Dragon as RGG Studios is working on this.

Game showcases single player story campaigns with QTE's, fighting lesser 'thugs' in make shift arenas. Environmental attacks.. trailer shows a random 'thug' get punched into a vending machine.

The game will have a 'crossroads' of new and old characters.

there's a full showcase in a few minutes, that's probably what leaked.

Yup. Those leaked clips are from the Crossroads showcase. Which is premiering now. It is all pre-recorded.

 

[Xaeroxcore666]

Seems interesting, really hope gameplay wise turns out to be as groundbreaking as it promises.

 

[Judge Magister]

I'm not sure i care about this story stuff.

 

[Gitaroo]

Is this UE5? Really hope it's dragon engine because I this would be like the biggest upgrade to the engine ever and good for future Sega games

 

[Soltype]

Not feeling this so far, feels like they're trying to make a game with global appeal instead of a game for Japan. The game's giving 94 street fighter movie vibes and not in a good way.

 

[Kacho]

David Hayter working on this

 

[MrCunningham]

David Hayter will be involved in writing the script for the single player campaign. That's right, Solid Snake. he also wrote screenplays for Watchmen and X-Men and X-2.

 

[Kacho]

Crazy ambitious project. I'm beyond impressed.

 

[March Climber]

The fighting animations in this are just insane. They really wanted to match that target footage as close as possible.

 

[Geometric-Crusher]

The graphs are insane Stranger Than Heaven is almost old gen compared to this.

 

[MrCunningham]

I was expecting more. But the video didn't get into the 1 vs 1 stuff at all.

 

[Kacho]

Virtua Fighter likely to reach normie with this one. Robust single player is the way.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

Yeah looks great, basically getting VF+RGG story mode

 

[bender]

Not what I was expecting, but it's Virtua Fighter so EVERYONE must support it day 1.
