Latest Virtua Fighter 4 News

Find out about the new character and AM2\'s decision to support PS2.

May 24, 2001

Yu Suzuki knows how to tease. The head of AM2 revealed at E3 that his team would be able to bring Virtua Fighter 4 to the PS2 without a loss of detail or quality. If this means that VF4 is going to mirror its arcade counterpart, the PS2 is going to have one of the best looking games ever later this year.
So why exactly did AM2 chose the PS2 as the recipient of its crown title? Apparently, GT3 had something to do with it. Suzuki seems to be very impressed by the Polyphony racer as a showpiece for the PS2 system and was anxious to unlock the PS2\'s potential for himself. However, Suzuki admits that working with the PS2 system is a bit different from working with the Dreamcast, forcing AM2 to think how to best use the system.

In addition to this bit of info, AM2 has also revealed the second new character to be featured in the game. Her name is Vanessa Lewis, and she\'s joined the tournament (yes, once again, there is a "tournament") in order to avenge her father\'s death. It\'s unclear if one of the other Virtua Fighters is actually to blame for the death, or if Vanessa\'s joining the tournament is just a metaphor for her finding her true self. Whatever the case, Vanessa uses a form of Muay Thai as her fighting style.

We\'ll have more on VF4 in the near future. Get ready for Virtua Fighter mania later in the year!

Sounds like he\'s going to have a very nice looking game. I wonder what he can do with the ps2 it ought to be very nice.

Suzuki is one man I commend. Instead of *****ing and whining about how difficult things are, he enjoys the challenge. I have nothing but faith in AM2 and their conversions.

That\'s great news, but I expected nothing less.

Again datamage, you miss the point that Suzuki has a big budget for what he\'s doing, the \'whiners\' don\'t.

\'Your an asshole\'  summed up my point pretty well. Seriously, it\'s unfair not to take the companies size and the games budget into consideration. From Lannings position, his remarks and decision for the most part, were warrented.

I\'m sure Konami and Kojima aren\'t exactly a charity case but they sure seemed to be "whiners".

Both of you shut up. he, he just ignore one another, all it\'s all about peace and love man.

how kool,Sega is into PS2 full throttle!!

If TheOgodlyThing is even trying to make peace then so should you guys

why o why does something negative always seem to come from something positive

oh well thats the way it is

Opposites attractin\' or something, I think...

I read this a long time ago (at least well before anyone posted about it) and that part about no lost detail in the conversion really caught my eye. If they can deliver what they\'ve promised I\'m gonna go kiss Suzuki\'s feet. Or. Well I\'ll probably be too buzy kissing \'Lady\'s feet anyways so strike that

Who knows, maybe Sony\'ve been helping Sega with the title now that they\'ve become one of the biggest (if not the biggest) 3rd parties in the industry.

I really really want to see what he can do with the ps2,i mean F355,was one of the best games on DC,and to think that was running off 3 Naomi boards in the arcades,and he got it running on one DC,i think you will see something pretty stunning.
