Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. Graphics Comparison

[@vcdecide]

Information featured in the video: VF5 = 2005 = Location Test What is a "Location Test"? It is a version made available to a select group of people to test the game's balance before its official release. We can say that, although Virtua Fighter 5 was officially released in 2006, the game was already complete in 2005, during which several tests were conducted in various locations across Japan. So, there's nothing wrong with "2005" in the thumbnail. Yes, the Xbox 360 version was released in 2007 (as mentioned in the video), while the PS3 version was released in 2006. Keep in mind that both versions are based on VF5 Vanilla. VF5 Location Test = 2005 VF5 Version B = 2006 VF5 Version C = 2007 VF5 Ver. D / VF5R = 2008 VF5 FS Version A = 2011 VF5 FS Version B = 2015 VF5US = 2021 VF5 R.E.V.O. = 2025

Proof that Virtua Fighter 5 is from 2005 and not 2006 is this IGN article dated November 26, 2005: www.ign.com/articles/2005/11/26/hands-on-virtua-fighter-5

[@apollosungod2819]

Your bias for Xbox shows kiddo... The PS3 Virtua Fighter 5 was released in Japan and North America in the second half of 2007 and the Xbox 360 port was released in 2008...

Привет, а есть возможность сделать сравнение Omikron: The Nomad Soul?

[@michaelromeo9567]

Yes you're right. I was about to post it but you already did. Location Test 2005 , when we were still playing PS2..! 😨(SEGA AM2 are beasts )

[@apollosungod2819]

@@michaelromeo9567 hey back then Virtua Fighter 4 had gotten a couple of revision while running on the SEGA NAOMI 2 arcade hardware iirc as early as 2001 arcade version and they were building up to make Virtua Fighter 5 given the success VF4 maintained in Japanese arcades and on the Sony PS2 with it's massive install base in Japan alone and the potential for Western regions which was somewhat mishandled by Sega of America's decision to label the second PS2 revision of VF4 aka VF4 Evolution as a red label Greatest Hits line when it was a SECOND revision and unlike the first version was made on a DVD-ROM with much more advance SEGA-AM2 programming that was much closer to the arcade version. So because of Microsoft pushing next generation jump in 2005 it was that Sega made a guess or estimation of what the PS3 specs might be on the entry level and as such Sega decided to use a PC parts set up with one Nvidia GeForce 6800 256MB graphics card... If you ever see the graphics of the arcade version of VF5 it looked superior to the older NAOMI 2 hardware but when the first and initially exclusive to Sony PS3 version of VF5 released in 2007 for the purpose of the early adopters in Japan and giving westerners an early entry into Virtua Fighter 5 because SEGA was still struggling to build a VF fanbase so obviously the older adult gamer would have the money to buy a launch PS3 however all the mess of fear mongering and price whining and telling people that "wait and see" and "PS2 BC is not needed" was going around back then so when VF5 released on PS3 all the major corporate western reviewers decided to take shots at the game for not offering online battles when VF5 was still early in being released in arcades (note the main idea still was to have the home version to train at home to then attend arcades for the larger scope which was not a problem in Japan but those biased reviewers kept insisting like arcades don't matter so they even mentioned they took points away for lacking online play which is bias and shill behavior And later one of the Gametrailers reviewers or hosts kept telling a Sega Japanese representative to make VF5 for the Xbox which again was shill behavior... Sega gave in and made VF5 for X360 with online play to crickets on the Xbox crowd... unless the sales would have spoken, that shill treatment towards Sega and Virtua Fighter as a franchise and PS3 because some fanboy is trying to prevent PS3 from selling is the reason why we eventually lost physicial release versions for Virtua Fighter.

[@luigipongo]

It is so interesting to see, how the remastered graphics on the ps5 are much superior, but at the same time, it fits in as a "regular modern fighting game". On the other hand, imagine seeing the graphics on the 360 version on 2005, it was probably hard to believe it was real-time! I looks amazing on it's own terms.

[@RandomlyDrumming]

I can confirm it was _exacty_ like that - seeing VF5 for the first time back in 2006, I was convinced it's some kind of pre-rendered thing. Guess graphics have plateaued in the recent years.

[@mahditeymuri5650]

damn the graphic of the original looks amazing even though it's been 17 years since release.

[@gundamzerostrike]

The characters look better, but environments on the original look MUCH better. They cut a lot (and I mean A LOT) of details out of the environments on the new version.

[@epicon6]

The PC version looks pretty great at 4K

[@AndreasKopp-c1s]

I prefer the X Box 360 Version!!! To many downgrades in Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O!!

[@florida_sucks]

I definitely don't see these downgrades you all are talking about. They look similar but different and similarly detailed. It just looks like a different take. I'd prefer final showdown but it's definitely not a downgrade

[@AlphaSpencer-v9i]

@@AndreasKopp-c1s exactly

[@jf_paes1589]

Would it be crazy to say I think the original art style looks more appealing? Like, I know the new one has higher graphical fidelity, but I dunno, I kinda like the way the old one looked better, specially the hair. The new hair on looks very chunky, the original had this nice texture work that let you see the strands without making them a bunch of clumps glued together like the new one. Some of the characters faces and stage redesigns are also straight downgrades, poor Jackie looks like a neanderthal with his pronounced brow ridges

[@sdzero]

My only complaint is the skies aren't BLUE enough in R.E.V.O graphics. We need those 🎶 BLUE BLUE SKIES! 🎶

[@CarbyGuuGuu]

The lighting in the original is better, something about the 360 era focused a lot on lighting and how it helps set the mood. Halo 3 being another example.

[@theyouth2000]

US has bumped up the fighters' polygon count quite significantly, but I kinda like the Vanilla's level designs and overblown lighting. Very atmospheric.

[@taqiyyan]

I first played Virtua Fighter 5 as a minigame in Yakuza 6, I was blown away on how a whole another game exist in a different one, and it was fun too, plays kinda like Tekken. I think I'm gonna get the PC version if it's gonna come out there.

[@dreamares2911]

@@taqiyyan interesting you say that. As Virtua Fighters came out before tekken. in fact the first Tekken was designed by some of the designers of Virtua Fighters.

@@dreamares2911 Ya I heard that, but I knew Tekken first, hence the impression.

[@taqiyyan]

@@Albert-lj5jb I mean it's true, it would be wrong if I said it plays like Mortal Kombat 😅

[@WhatisaLee]

@@taqiyyan This plays very differently from Tekken. Even just having a guard button makes it play very differently. Then there's the fact that all attacks are throw-invul, or that throws are the fastest attack in the game, DM and OM, side-turned mechanics, etc.

[@chickenbites8877]

The 360 version looks more appealing to me, I prefer the colour scheme

[@AdminAndy]

Something about the light isn't as appealing in the newer version. Also, the hit confirmation effects now are too anime-looking

[@JohnCharb87]

For a 2007 Xbox 360 it looks quite stunning. Especially some of the stage elements like Shun's stage's water looks better for some reason. For facial features and clothing the PS5 version stands out. 11:27 Lau forehead shows he's aged quite a bit. Also I just noticed they pretty much took character's old stages and updated them. Shun's, Lau's, Wolf's and Sarah's in particular.

[@oak8194]

The characters is getting a big improvement on the clothes' textures, hair and especially their eyes. They're no longer bug-eyed like in the old version. LOL However, I prefer the stages' gimmicks like the mud arena, petal-filled Japanese garden or the foggy Chinese temple and the overall stronger lighting in the old version.

[@michaelromeo9567]

Yeah. Old satges had something very unique , and light special effects were better in the old games..

Almost 20 years between these two. New console generations ain't what they used to be.

[@pian-0g445]

I mean, you have to take into account this title has nowhere the near the budget to get a ‘current’ gen graphics. Compare Tekken 8 to Tekken 6, massive difference. Especially since this is just another updated version of the ported version of the game, to include rollback, it’s not going to look much bettef

Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O, is really impressive for a modern 3D fighting game released in 2024. But there is something special about first seeing Virtua Fighter 5 in 2006 in arcades.

[@thetechn1que518]

I never got to see it in the arcades. By 2006 almost every arcade in my state had shut down. We actually have more retro arcades now than we did back then. The last time I got to see a new coin op fighting game was Soulcalibur III.

the ps5 graphics are soulless and look like any other modern game, am2 games usually stand out graphically

[@davidsentanu7836]

They are trying to port VF5 from VF Engine into Dragon Engine (the Yakuza games' engine.) Almost the same as how Tekken 7 was made changing engine from Tekken engine to Unreal. The next VF should be the real graphical upgrade when the team will have already honed their tools by then. We just need to worry about the game mechanics / designs changes they will make.

[@Mohammed1000real]

VF5 R.E.V.O has better character models. Yet there's also gorgeous stage in the original. But overall, i'm picking this game up for VF6's sake!

[@123mathtutorabc4]

VF5US is a PS4 game compatible with the PS5, if you prefer VF5FS you can emulate the PS3 version on PC with RPCS3, there's even online play.

[@juststatedtheobvious9633]

They do more with the character models and lighting in the new version. They also do the same thing with every character model and the lighting, because Akira and Sarah looked too dramatic. And Pai's new stage needed to run on the 3DS, I assume.

I've always felt original VF5 looked much better than Final Showdown because of those changes in lightning and details cut from the enviroments. That's the big problem, Revo and all its content is based on Final Showdown/Ultimate Showdown, not the base VF5

As a VF player. VF5 Vanilla is actually graphically superior to VF5:Final Showdown. Yes.. Ultimate Showdown received a nice graphical coat of paint.. but the characters resemble Yakuza characters facially and some of them are awkward looking with flat noses. Studio who did Yakuza handled graphical duties for US and it shows. For all of its graphical improvements to the models. VF5 still shits on it with the details.
