Virtua Fighter Mobile Announced
Glu Mobile is porting the ever-popular polygonal fighter over to our mobile phones, reports Pocket Gamer. This news isn’t exactly coming out of left field, seeing how Glu Mobile already has an agreement in place with Sega to bring a series of Sega classic games over to our cellular phones. Yes, Sega does more than Sonic.
There’s very little indication as to which chapter in the Virtua Fighter franchise will be sent to mobile phones, but I imagine that they’re not jumping into the realm of Virtua Fighter 5 just yet. The video above is from the original VF1 and it probably serves as the most likely candidate. I just hope that they don’t reduce the number of characters, forcing us to play as Jacky or something. I prefer Akira myself.
Virtua Fighter 5 Makes Top 10 PS3 Exclusives List
Sort of.
Handsome Tom and Stuttering Craig from ScrewAttack provide us with yet another hilarious video, highlighting what they believe to be the top ten video games currently available for the PlayStation 3. The catch is that the games on the list have to PS3 exclusives, meaning that they cannot be available on any other system. Oh, and the games have to be good. Virtua Fighter 5 is pretty good, but…
Virtua Fighter 5 for Xbox 360 is Better Than PS3
Virtua Fighter 5 is arguably one of the most technical fighting games available today. Although it only has three buttons — punch, kick, and block — Virtua Fighter 5 is incredibly complex and brings out some of the most amazing fighting games skills. Timing is of paramount importance, as is varying your strategy to suit your opponent. I’ve been playing the PlayStatio 3 version of Virtua Fighter 5 for some time now and while it is a heck of a lot of fun, it doesn’t offer much in terms of replay value. The Quest mode isn’t all that satisfying.
Contrast this to the recently released Virtua Fighter 5 for the Xbox 360, as shown above. Not only does the Xbxo 360 version feature online play — the PS3 version does not — some are saying that the graphics are even better than the PS3 Virtua Fighter 5. Imagine that, better than Blu-ray. When Virtua Fighter 5 came out for the PS3, Sega said that it just wasn’t possible to bring such intensely beautiful graphics to the Xbox 360. They also said that the ridiculous visuals would not be conducive to an online experience and that’s why they took the option out of the PS3 version.
I guess Sega is eating its PS3 Virtua Fighter 5 words now. Eating them all the way to the bank with vastly improved Xbox 360 Virtua Fighter 5.
