Anybody remember about that ?

I mean..its nice "artwork" but thats all it really is. Non-gameplay aesthetics, you're not foolin anyone Sega

Obviously I would love to be wrong...but im not

It does remind me of MK in development concept arts... They all look like cheaply fan made pieces... But who knows.

Yeah it might be fake but still it was pretty right :

Tokyo Game Show announcement, on consoles first and cross gen, and remixed stages...

"Apparently this is supposed to be in the prototype phase of development"​

And i think that the stage looks pretty good (even if the arena seems a bit too small), but overall it's great and well made, it would fit perfectly for VF.

I'm not sure if i'm right but i think there was also more pictures about that leak ?

We don't even have information yet. The game has a new title. There's a big chance you're actually wrong on this

Believe me, I pray that I'm wrong. The game having a new title doesnt really mean a thing if the number 5 is still attached.

But still for that artwork to be in-game? Highly doubtful that picture is simply promo artwork.

You need gameplay to get me hype not pictures.

Anyway, I for one, am hoping the graphics get updated.

I can't come up with a reason why, but, unless I'm being crazy, I seem to remember the graphics taking quite a big hit from VF5 Vanilla to VF5FS, at least on the PS3 versions. Especially when it comes to the character's skin and body; I remember them looking far better in Vanilla.

You right. VF5 much better graphics than VF5FS - mostly b/c of it was DIGITALLY released (while getting digital games size limit rules) = nerfed graphics. Many players even dont know this fact. VF5 vanilla even now has an awesome graphics (2007 year game).
> So, even if it will get Vanilla engine with bit enhancements is will be good.

Thank you for that simple yet, in the end, pretty logical explanation.

I'll have to go back to VF5 Vanilla soon, as, yes, I'm sure it's still a gem for the eye.
I'd like Ultimate Showdown to at least reach Vanilla's level when it comes to the graphics. Could that really happen if it's once again digitally released, though?

You can blame MS for that, they had strict limits on file sizes for digital games back then. It's the reason we got all the DLC as individual packs as well.

Honestly, back in the day, VFR looked as if it was the latest iteration not FS

With Final Shodown they changed the shaders and used a different kind of illumination, I remember AM2 said this, but it's also clear by looking at it (the skin shader is different and more opaque for example and way worse in FS).
Unfortunately the result was inferior to vanilla vf5.

Also it doesn't help that the VF5FS on xbox 360 and ps3 was graphically inferior to the arcade version as well, luckly it was partially solved with the version included in Yakuza games.

But in general VF5 vanilla remain the best VF5 for graphics, stages and music (and in my opinion gameplay as well).

Very interesting. That explains quite a lot regarding FS looking way worse than VF5.

I thought
Visually with the character models they were identical... They really don't look worst off. It was the trailer that had the characters looking less detailed especially in the faces. The stages lost a bit of details I.E. floor breaking. But the lighting was waaaaay superior.

I know there is tons of speculation by us in regards to the next project, but honestly, this is uncharted territory for the series and such a situation has never occurred before.

I was trying to make a point of how VF mechanics are really fun and rewarding to a friend and he was like " I won't touch Ultimate Showdown if it was a port even if FS was a perfect game". I think this is what many people think of VFUS

Yea I did noticed that the og cast was placed in the middle. I was also thinking there's some meaning behind that and I thought of this..

It could still possibly mean Sega is "restarting" the series in some way. Not in the "starting with the 8 barebones characters then unlock more" kinda way but maybe paying homages to each individual game where they debuted? Adding all of the features that made each game special. Like the "Ultimate" package I dunno..

I know I may sound fickle but I will take back all the bad I said about Sega if they can give me all the outfits of VF1-5, ALL stages from 1-5, all of the moves stripped and then some from 1-5 and most important all the features from 1-5, get the graphics updated to that artwork quality level or better (because they definitely can do better) and I'll probably give it a shot.

Theres just so much on how you can interpret how the game can be and the possibilities they can do with it. Worst case scenario for me would be the same game just with better graphics.
