#VIRTUA FIGHTER 4: EVOLUTION SERIES#
The series has always needed some more close combat characters, and with Goh, we get exactly that.īrad Burns, too, is an effective close proximity fighter. His closest counterpart is Wolf, and even that is stretching it a bit. Goh, who brings a unique fighting style to the game, is a great and refreshing addition to the cast of players in Virtua Fighter 4 Evo. But further prodding and practice will reveal how powerful a character he really is (with a number of linking throws that can cause some heavy damage in just a few short moves). Try playing him from the get-go and you may find yourself frustrated by his seemingly lacking arsenal of combos and moves. Because of this, Goh is also a character that is less accessible and should only be used by more experienced players. Goh Hinogami, an orphan raised to be assassin by a group mysteriously named "The Organization," uses a Judo fighting style making him a more effective combatant in close encounters due to the emphasis on throws and grappling moves. Regardless, the two fighters' styles are drastically different, and that's what really counts. Maybe it's their "edgy" looks, or the fact that they don't really look like they belong in the Virtua Fighter universe. It's an oxymoron if I ever saw one, but maybe after looking at them you'll get an idea of what we mean. Both characters physically resemble each other in a strange, hard-to-explain way, while simultaneously looking completely different. Though there are some significant additions to the title, with the most blatant being the two new characters, Goh and Brad. Gameplay A literal "evolution" of Virtua Fighter 4, Evo is, at its core, the same game as its predecessor. But is it really that different than the already released VF4? Is the game really worth buying for two additional characters? Was Virtua Figher 4 ever that great to begin with? The answer to all of these questions is a resounding yes. Finally, after some worries that the game would not make it to our shores at all, Virtua Fighter 4 Evolution is here. Not long after, Sega released Virtua Fighter 4 Evolution in Japanese arcades, and again for Japanese PS2s. The game captured everything that originally made the first two titles great (first-rate animation, one of, if not the deepest fighting systems, and simple three-button controls) and put a new coat of paint on it officially upgrading the series for the 21st century. Obviously, I have to be there to get in the early practice so that I can maintain my high standard of international class gameplay /versus/images/icons/cool.Virtua Fighter 4 was released in the arcades and the PlayStation 2 to universal acclaim, and with good reason. Why do you think this game will remain interesting?ĭo you think this game will be interesting for players who are not hardcore? How different is it to the previous Virtua Fighter games? You have to be able to answer questions like: We can't have people who just keep saying "it's a wicked game man !". We need good players who can explain to business people why these arcade games should be released in Europe.
"it's a wicked game man, you gotta get it !"
So we can't have people who will just keep saying. These people will have to be able to explain to business people why the game should be released in Europe. I have been asked by SEGA to select 2 people who know about Virtua Fighter to go to the SEGA Virtua Fighter 4 Evolution preview near Heathrow.
