My name is Seiji Aoki and I\u2019m the chief producer of Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown. I\u2019m very excited to share the inside story behind development of the newest game in the groundbreaking Virtua Fighter series and delve into a few new features you can look forward to when it launches on PlayStation Plus tomorrow, June 1.*<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Virtua Fighter holds a special place in Sega lore \u2013 many of us on the dev team can still recall playing the original 3D fighting game when it first launched in arcades nearly 30 years ago. Its strategic depth, balanced combat, and realistic martial arts gameplay have stood out within the genre for decades, and it&#8217;s long past time a new game entered the ring.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/virtua-fighter-5-ultimate-showdown-remaking-a-legend.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/virtua-fighter-5-ultimate-showdown-remaking-a-legend.jpg\" aria-hidden=\"true\" alt=\"Virtua Fighter V Ultimate Showdown\"><\/a>&nbsp; &nbsp; <\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Sega\u2019s 60<sup>th<\/sup> Anniversary, a massive community project celebrating the most iconic games over our entire company history, finally provided us that opportunity. Sega put together a new team of developers from AM2, the original creators of the VF series, and Ryu Ga Gotoku Studios \u2013 combining extensive console expertise with a deep passion for the franchise to kick off development on a definitive Virtua Fighter game for the new generation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"\">Remade for a new generation<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\">When development began in 2019, we knew there was an entire generation of gamers who had never seen or played Virtua Fighter. To us, 2012\u2019s Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown represented the series pinnacle \u2013 the result of nearly two decades of fine-tuning and development. But many younger fans had never experienced the fluid 60fps martial arts combat, intricately balanced and grounded in reality, that game perfected in its day. We knew from the very beginning that we wanted to re-create that experience on modern consoles.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/virtua-fighter-5-ultimate-showdown-remaking-a-legend-1.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/virtua-fighter-5-ultimate-showdown-remaking-a-legend-1.jpg\" aria-hidden=\"true\" alt=\"Virtua Fighter V Ultimate Showdown\" width=\"47%\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/virtua-fighter-5-ultimate-showdown-remaking-a-legend-2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/virtua-fighter-5-ultimate-showdown-remaking-a-legend-2.jpg\" aria-hidden=\"true\" alt=\"Virtua Fighter V Ultimate Showdown\" width=\"47%\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Although Final Showdown was top of its class from a gameplay perspective, the graphics, UI, audio, and especially online play were due for an overhaul. Utilizing RGG\u2019s Dragon Engine Technology, we dramatically upgraded the look and feel of the game, remaking character models and stages entirely from scratch. Visual effects like lighting and shaders received a significant rework, while modern CG expanded the range of effects we could produce. An entirely new opening cinematic added the final layer to the presentation.<\/p>\n<div class=\"shortcode shortcode--youtube\">\n<div class=\"youtube-video\" data-youtube-id=\"Nu4HyxMPoe0\" data-title=\"\"> <button class=\"youtube-video__load-button\"> <svg class=\"icon icon--play icon--26 icon--play icon--blue\" aria-hidden=\"true\" viewBox=\"0 0 20 20\" focusable=\"false\" version=\"1.1\"> <title><\/title><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" class=\"icon-primary-color\" d=\"M0 1.75v17l20-8.5z\"\/>\t<\/svg> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Play Video<\/span> <\/button> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.playstation.com\/content\/themes\/playstation-2018\/images\/placeholder.svg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/virtua-fighter-5-ultimate-showdown-remaking-a-legend-10.jpg 120w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/virtua-fighter-5-ultimate-showdown-remaking-a-legend-11.jpg 320w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/virtua-fighter-5-ultimate-showdown-remaking-a-legend-12.jpg 480w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/virtua-fighter-5-ultimate-showdown-remaking-a-legend-13.jpg 640w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/virtua-fighter-5-ultimate-showdown-remaking-a-legend-14.jpg 1280w\" data-sizes=\"\" data-src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/virtua-fighter-5-ultimate-showdown-remaking-a-legend-12.jpg\" class=\"youtube-video__image-overlay lazy\" alt=\"Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown: Remaking a legend\" > <\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-video__iframe\"><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p class=\"\">In addition, we wanted to give the same love to the music. Many of our most passionate ideas came from long-time members of the Virtua Fighter sound team \u2013 in the end, we composed new background music for every stage in the game. Players who choose to purchase the new Legendary Pack (DLC) that releases alongside the game tomorrow can also check out the selection of classic and never-before-released background tracks for the full Virtua Fighter audio experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Although the basic gameplay systems from classic Virtua Fighter 5 remain largely untouched \u2013 combat balanced and perfected over years of development \u2013 we didn\u2019t want Ultimate Showdown to feel like a revival of a retro game. Every change we made had to serve our goal of bringing the series forward for a new generation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/virtua-fighter-5-ultimate-showdown-remaking-a-legend-3.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/virtua-fighter-5-ultimate-showdown-remaking-a-legend-3.jpg\" aria-hidden=\"true\" alt=\"Virtua Fighter V Ultimate Showdown\" width=\"47%\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/virtua-fighter-5-ultimate-showdown-remaking-a-legend-4.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/virtua-fighter-5-ultimate-showdown-remaking-a-legend-4.jpg\" aria-hidden=\"true\" alt=\"Virtua Fighter V Ultimate Showdown\" width=\"47%\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"\">New online competitive features<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\">While overhauling VF5\u2019s look and feel was important, re-envisioning online competitive play was vital. Competition \u2013 proving yourself against the best fighters in the world \u2013 has been at the heart of the VF experience since the early arcade days, and we knew we needed to add a ton of new online functionality to bring Ultimate Showdown up to a modern standard.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">New Tournaments and round-robin style League Matches, private rooms supporting up to 16 players, and entirely new room UI improving communication between players were just a few of the features we built to support our competitive community.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/virtua-fighter-5-ultimate-showdown-remaking-a-legend-5.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/virtua-fighter-5-ultimate-showdown-remaking-a-legend-5.jpg\" aria-hidden=\"true\" alt=\"Virtua Fighter V Ultimate Showdown\" width=\"47%\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/virtua-fighter-5-ultimate-showdown-remaking-a-legend-6.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/virtua-fighter-5-ultimate-showdown-remaking-a-legend-6.jpg\" aria-hidden=\"true\" alt=\"Virtua Fighter V Ultimate Showdown\" width=\"47%\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Along with the new modes, match types and UI, we also added new features to enhance the viewing experience. Upgraded hit markers make battles more satisfying and dramatic, while Spectator Mode allows participants to watch matches in real-time from inside their room. Stamps and other messaging tools make for easy communication and add a fun layer of participation. Automatic replay showcasing the recent matches between the top-ranked players in the world is built right into the main game UI. It\u2019s a tremendous tool for new players looking to learn from the best as they seek to master their own fighting style.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/virtua-fighter-5-ultimate-showdown-remaking-a-legend-7.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/virtua-fighter-5-ultimate-showdown-remaking-a-legend-7.jpg\" aria-hidden=\"true\" alt=\"Virtua Fighter V Ultimate Showdown\"><\/a> <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"\">Legendary Pack DLC<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\">Finally, we\u2019re excited to share that the new Legendary Pack (DLC) releases tomorrow alongside the PlayStation Plus and PlayStation Now editions of Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown!<\/p>\n<div class=\"shortcode shortcode--youtube\">\n<div class=\"youtube-video\" data-youtube-id=\"UFsKtc2SHa8\" data-title=\"\"> <button class=\"youtube-video__load-button\"> <svg class=\"icon icon--play icon--26 icon--play icon--blue\" aria-hidden=\"true\" viewBox=\"0 0 20 20\" focusable=\"false\" version=\"1.1\"> <title><\/title><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" class=\"icon-primary-color\" d=\"M0 1.75v17l20-8.5z\"\/>\t<\/svg> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Play Video<\/span> <\/button> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.playstation.com\/content\/themes\/playstation-2018\/images\/placeholder.svg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/virtua-fighter-5-ultimate-showdown-remaking-a-legend-15.jpg 120w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/virtua-fighter-5-ultimate-showdown-remaking-a-legend-16.jpg 320w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/virtua-fighter-5-ultimate-showdown-remaking-a-legend-17.jpg 480w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/virtua-fighter-5-ultimate-showdown-remaking-a-legend-18.jpg 640w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/virtua-fighter-5-ultimate-showdown-remaking-a-legend-19.jpg 1280w\" data-sizes=\"\" data-src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/virtua-fighter-5-ultimate-showdown-remaking-a-legend-17.jpg\" class=\"youtube-video__image-overlay lazy\" alt=\"Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown: Remaking a legend\" > <\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-video__iframe\"><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p class=\"\">The Legendary Pack celebrates the storied history of the entire series. A vast range of customization items (over 2,000), alternate character costumes, spectator stamps, and new and classic background music options round out the DLC. But our favorite items have to be the fully recreated UI and character models from the original Virtua Fighter! Our designers had a ton of fun rebuilding the old models for all 19 playable characters in such a modern game (two classic-style models for each character \u2013 including each new character from later entries):<\/p>\n<p class=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/virtua-fighter-5-ultimate-showdown-remaking-a-legend-8.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/virtua-fighter-5-ultimate-showdown-remaking-a-legend-8.jpg\" aria-hidden=\"true\" alt=\"Virtua Fighter V Ultimate Showdown\" width=\"47%\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/virtua-fighter-5-ultimate-showdown-remaking-a-legend-9.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/virtua-fighter-5-ultimate-showdown-remaking-a-legend-9.jpg\" aria-hidden=\"true\" alt=\"Virtua Fighter V Ultimate Showdown\" width=\"47%\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"\">To all of the Virtua Fighter fans out there, we are beyond grateful for the passion and loyalty you have shown over the last 27+ years.
