Character models looking good so far
I remember playing Virtua Fighter 3 in the arcades in 1997 and thinking characters would never look more detailed or realistic…

Their eyes moved with the camera. That was mind-blowing stuff back then.I remember playing Virtua Fighter 3 in the arcades in 1997 and thinking characters would never look more detailed or realistic…

Could be the sequel took so long to finally be announced or shown to the point where most of the crowd probably didn’t even know what it was anymore.

It looks amazing, but even the open beta of VF5 isn't being played by anyone right now. I'm afraid this game might face a similar fate. Maybe it's because I tried it on a weekend morning; I'll try again in the evening. However, this game series generally doesn't attract much attention. It's not as flashy as SF or Tekken(it's a plus for me). Maybe its graphics can attract some players this time. Crossplay is absolutely essential.

It's easy to forget how big a deal VF3's visuals were for 1996. It was absolutely state of the art and significantly ahead of anything else at the time.
Yeah, when the 2.0 update dropped for VF5US I thought 'well that's my weekend taken care of', but nobody's playing it. Welp, back to Tekken I guess.

Street Fighter 2 Turbo Remix was very popular on Xbox 360. PC players will be experiencing VF5 for the first time(without emulation), but there doesn’t seem to be enough hype. I also remember not being able to find enough opponents on PlayStation. It seems like the series isn't mainstream enough. I hope the 6th game fixes this (without compromising the core gameplay).
This is exactly the kind of stuff I always wanted to see in a new VF game. 3 did these interesting stages and Tekken and DoA also tepidly played with more interaction before giving up. I hope 3 takes it farther. Like a Jeffery beach that changes elevation from prior rounds.

VF5 already did that though so I'm expecting the new one to make even more changes. As long as their promise to focus on innovation and realism holds true I can put up with them continuing to dumb certain things down if it means the series survives. I'm sick of living in a Tekken only world.

Well what human rights have the Prince specifically violated? Or had a main role in violating?
I'll probably try looking this up sometime myself but sometimes I get the feeling people are blaming them for actions their parents or other family members in royalty did, or expect him to give away all their money to every citizen in the country. That kind of thinking isn't realistic.
If they have been directly involved in human rights violations then I can understand not wanting to see them involved in your favorite games. But also even in that case, well a lot of billionaires are investing or involved in probably almost all the big gaming companies and none of those people have clean hands, either. Even a certain one very popular online these days, it's a very similar thing. No clean hands.
So are people going to call those people out too and tell them to not associate with their favorite game companies? I don't think so. Are they gonna boycott all the consoles, Steam, EGS, Capcom, SNK and whoever else? No. So it just seems like theatrics to focus on one billionaire with tons of money in gaming when it's one specific game you're concerned about, and not all the other billionaires with dirty hands and tons of money in gaming among almost all the big investment firms, studios, publishers, and platform holders.
It's like the people who say they're gonna boycott a console because they use cheap labor in a Chinese factory to build them, but they type it from their iPhones which are built in the same factories and using minerals & gems stripped from poor African countries to help make the chips that go into those phones. The irony is palpable.

I am playing REVO Beta on PC and I am getting matches every 5 seconds in ranked...

I also played for 30 minutes like that tonight, but then I couldn't find an opponent for 30 minutes. I hope it's related to the beta phase and that this game attracts a lot of interest. I enjoyed it more and played it longer than Tekken 8, which I paid money for.

I still have a ton of love for this era of graphics. It's so clean.

TBF what personality did Akira have in the first place? He was always a Ryu clone, looking to improve his fighting skills in every tournament...

RGG did a great job, yeah, Akira never had an inspired design :/
