Virtua Fighter 3 tb

[MasterAkumaMatata]

Per RolfWrenWalsh's suggestion, here's Virtua Fighter 3 tb for the DC.

The legend continues.

The fighting game that revolutionized the genre returns in its most powerful incarnation yet. Who will emerge victorious in the Third World Fighting Tournament?

• All new "Team Battle Mode"
  
• 13 fighting stages in full 3D. Elevation and positioning dramatically change fighting strategy
  
• 10 classic characters plus two all-new characters

• Multiple camera angles including 1st person viewpoint
  
• Highly sophisticated fighting engine for incredible depth
  
• Advanced Training Mode - instruct computer opponent to do exactly what you want

All right!

This was THE game that made me want a Dreamcast, even when I was a die-hard $ony fanboy.

I had only played this game at my local game center two times, in the six year span between it's arcade release and when I got it for DC.

I bought my DC just for this game, yet, I didn't get the game until about six months after I got my DC. Then THAT copy went defective after a few weeks. I managed to get a complete copy a couple months later.

VF3 is widely regarded as the worst of the series. I kinda agree. It's a GREAT game, but it just doesn't seem as fun to me as the others.

It's really weird playing VF4 and VF Evolution, then going back and playing VF3...

Yup. It's a bad port and nowhere near as fun as VF2.

 

[racketboy]

it's a good game, but didn't quite seem as exciting as VF2.

It's also looks dated compared to Soul Calibur, which was a DC launch title.

I never understood why everyone says it's a bad port.

I know there's never been an arcade-perfect port of VF, but what made VF3 so "bad"?

 

[it290]

Well, for starters, the fact that it was not really enhanced for the DC even though the arcade game had been out for a loong time. Secondly, compared to the arcade, the control just isn't right.

 

[Pearl Jammzz]

control is different. My least-liked in the serious for sure. VF2 owns VF3.

Suzuki said it himself:

"VF3 was mainly made for the hardcore VF player." Basically, players like me.

I enjoyed VF3 a lot. I actually like it more than VF2 a little bit...

I think one reason as to why VF3 is panned so much, is because it wasn't as big of a leap forward in gameplay that VF > VF2, and VF3 > VF4 were.

Play the game for a while, then play VF2 on the Saturn. I think you'll agree that the controls just feel stiff. Also, in my opinion the elevation factor detracted from the gameplay.

:agree

I loved VF2 on Saturn and was really excited about 3tb, but after playing Soul Calibur to death, 3tb just felt pants. I liked 3 when I played it at SegaWorld, but this came out so long after and then felt worse :/

For somegames the pixelisation & saturated colors is good.

Exemple : Shenmue Sat & VF2 looks better than Shenmue DC & VF3 DC.

Its just my point of view but when you see the grainy/dark textures in Shenmue Sat and the flat/Ultrablur textures from Dream's Shenmue, there is a athmosphere very different.

So for VF its the same answer. To my point of view VF2 looks better than VF3 (taking count of the power of each system).

 

[axelblazeadam]

I prefer the look of VF2 over 3 also. The VF3 characters were so white they look like they've lived in a cave all thier life.

 

[it290]

Yes, and VF2 is stunning for a Saturn game, whereas VF3TB is mediocre for a DC game.
