Backgrounds too have also received their share of this technical bounty, with much more sophisticated geometry, sharper assets and just more going on than what has been glimpsed previously.
In practice what this means is that Virtua Fighter 5 has actually had something of a proper high definition facelift.Įach fighter is now much more detailed than ever before, with the sort of muscle definition and facial detail that just wasn’t present in Virtua Fighter 5’s previous incarnations. Obviously familiar with the source material in question, the Yakuza studio is the perfect fit for porting the game across to contemporary hardware, and in doing so, has used its own Dragon Engine technology to get the job done.
Indeed, players of the Yakuza franchise will recall that Virtua Fighter often features heavily in the arcade side areas for those games, with Virtua Fighter 5 In particular receiving an arcade perfect port in the latest Yakuza (and Judgment) games. Co-developed by the same lovely folks that reliably bring us new Yakuza games almost every year now, Ryū ga Gotoku Studio’s part in this labor of love makes nothing less than perfect sense.
