Your First Look at Virtua Fighter PS5 Will Drop Jaws

Need to see more but yes, this looks excellent.👌

Damn it looks cinematic as hell.

Edit: damn a shame that isn't actual gameplay though

Looks great and i hope they keep it clean like this.

Come on, now. Is that title really suitable for a first look at PC footage, on a brand new graphics card no less?

My jaw is fine. Thank you very much.

That looks like a martial arts movie that's crazy

This will be THE fighting game to beat all others.

@Oram77 I think it might overtake T8 but difficult to beat SF6 with it's timeless art style and movement.

"NOT ACTUAL GAMEPLAY" My jaw remains in place, thank you very much.

Wow! I’m not into fighters but this could tempt me if it ends up looking like this!

Oh god I hope it plays like it looks here. I’ve always wanted a proper martial arts game where you can counter a counter of a counter etc and then it’s a battle of wits to who gets the actual punch. Main issue with that is speed + button mashing and how to make things play well. Dead or alive 5 countering well, but most games just are as you counter you then can hit on the next move, rarely if at all games have layered countering.

Both otherwise, the graphics here look great. Also lets hope it doesn’t do a tekken 8 adding loads of paid for stuff after release!

I'm really rooting for this game. I loved VF5 and while I respect Tekken something about it just doesn't click with me. I would like to see alternative choices for my 3D fighter fix.

@Oram77 More like a 3D fighting game to beat other 3D fighting games...well it's not like there still many of them. Outside Tekken, the rest of 3D fighting games are dead and buried...unless someone brave enough to revive DoA, Bloody Roar, Soul Calibur, Toshinden, Fighting Vipers, Tobal, or Star Gladiators.

When I read, “smooth as butter,” I didn’t expect that phrase to actually represent what I was about to see.

Let’s hope the game is close to this quality.

@PuppetMaster To me MKX is still the peak of fighting games, it's really sad to see how far MK has fallen. Also don't forget that VF is the grand daddy of the genre.

Engine and animations looks good, but its so choreographed that its hard for me to really get excited until i see some real gameplay

They did say, but this is clearly a cut-scene, not gameplay. Just cause i know not everyone reads or can tell.
That is why it looks so fluid.
Nevertheless it looks good so far.

Animations are too good to be true.
Excited because it's RGG studio but this doesn't really show anything

it excplicitly states it's "not actual gameplay" guys so take a breather haha. no fighting game can flow like that and likely never will unless its an orchestrated fight and both players have practiced together for weeks to time the counters haha.

If vf gets rid of mechanics like aerial juggles and other nonsensical moves that aren't possible, maybe we could get closer to such realistic animations. Question is how to do this and keep the gameplay fun.

I admit I haven't played any of the more modern fighting games. I'm an old SNES OG SF2 gamer. But, DANG, the kinematic response to the punch and block is impressive. I think most games just kinda overlay the models and do not try to adhere to the physics of bodies interacting with each other. Maybe I'm wrong. I don't play a lot of fighting games these days. But, that just looked impressive.

"This is a concept video created before development began." Oh, ok. Lol. I loved Virtua Fighter as a kid and have no reason to be skeptical, but this doesn't represent a product, just an idea of one.

Damn, RGG studio really cooked with this one.
