Re: New version of 5R (Version B)coming...

I never checked the Gallery section, I would never find this haha. Thanks LC!

 

Re: New version of 5R (Version B)coming...

This really oughta be on the front page.

 

Re: New version of 5R (Version B)coming...

Not really, since none of us have access to VF5:R

 

Re: New version of 5R (Version B)coming...

Must you remind me of that pain? /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif

 

Re: New version of 5R (Version B)coming...

Is anyone else sick of VF5R. Seriously, i'm sick of it. I wish it would just go away already.

 

Re: New version of 5R (Version B)coming...

VF5MegaRemix.

VF5 No holds bars


seriously when it comes it comes. i am okay

 

Re: New version of 5R (Version B)coming...

I say take down all links and pictures from VF5R and lets all pretend it never existed lol

 

Re: New version of 5R (Version B)coming...

What's this VF5R you speak of?

 

Re: New version of 5R (Version B)coming...

Its sad to think of but if we knew nothing about VF5r, I'm sure many of us would be more excited about just playing vanilla VF5.

 

Re: New version of 5R (Version B)coming...

The Tekken community is the same way with T5DR. No one wants to play it anymore.

The key difference is that they actually have arcades in the US and they've had console announcements.

 

Re: New version of 5R (Version B)coming...

Yeah I can imagine. I think the VF fans got banged the hardest though with the whole lease only deal for the arcade. I tried to buy a VF5r board directly from friends at am2 when I was there in jan but management said NO. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif

 

Re: New version of 5R (Version B)coming...

I think VF is better off than the DOA community. No word AT ALL if a new game is in the works. Hasn't Itagaki left Tecmo? /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/confused.gif

 

Re: New version of 5R (Version B)coming...

Yes and no. I liken Itagaki to Suzuki: Yu's last VF was the 4 series, yet we're possibly half way through the development of VF5's life cycle if we assume there'll be a "FT" after "R".

And with regards to Tecmo; Ninja Gaiden 2 Sigma has already been announced which is going to be superior to the intial 360 version (...Bastards), sans Tomonobu.

My point is that once the IP (Interllectual Property/concept) is made any hack can take over the reigns and run with it. We've just been lucky that Yoshihiro Tsuzuku (VF5's director) hasn't taken any big chances with the series. The argument that VF5 adds little to the series is fair (though it was Suzuki's decision to go backwards in VF4), but I'd rather have more of the same than a dud (though that too is also a matter of taste).

DOA5 might still appear one day. Ayane; a female ninja from that series is set to be an additional character in NG2S, so Tecmo still has a use for (milking) Itagaki's legacy.

 

Re: New version of 5R (Version B)coming...

Why did they not sell it to you and how much was it going to cost?

 

Re: New version of 5R (Version B)coming...

fixed

 

Re: New version of 5R (Version B)coming...

Was he basically reduced to figurehead status on this one?

 

Re: New version of 5R (Version B)coming...

They only lease it and when you lease the machine, you get the game as well as the special routers and stuff required to connect to vf.net. They told me that if the game isn't connected to VF.net it wont work but im sure they can easily bypass that if they wanted to. It's just sega being sega imo.

 

Re: New version of 5R (Version B)coming...

Yu Suzuki is credited as lead designer for VF4 and a producer for VF4,EVO,FT. He also did tons of interviews for VF4 (and even some for VF5 in its infant stages).

He had much less to do with VF4 than he did with VF3 and according to news reports he wasn't allowed much 'hands on' VF4, whatever that means. And then later was downsized by Sega and now is gone from the company I guess. Sega is so terrible.

So he was reduced to a figurehead, then basically was downsized then retired from the company. I mean he only created VF...

 

Re: New version of 5R (Version B)coming...

I wonder if this is why many of the ideas he stated early on in VF4's development never came to fruition (I'm pretty sure he wanted to do some kind of active auto blocking feature).
