I just saw this at IGN and thought it was interesting news to share.

quote:
Virtua Fighter 4: Evolution
In a surprise maneuver, the American version of the popular fighting game upgrade will be released, not as an all-new full-price game, but a budgeted Greatest Hits release instead. For the unfamiliar, Evolution is the kick-butt upgrade to IGN's 2002 Fighting Game of the Year, and offers better A.I. (modeled after Japan's top players), new arenas, 1500 extra costume additions, and two brand-new characters. (PlayStation 2)

I already knew I was getting this game, but now I know I will get this game as soon as it comes out. Wasn't there a massive price drop of the Japanese evolution because of lackluster sales? Hopefully people who bought the first version of VF4 will know that evolution is a step up and worthy of a $20 investment.

I was probably going to pick up VF4Evo anyway but if Sega is going to practically give it away I'll be sure to pick it up the first day it's avaliable. Has there been an official US release date set yet?

This is great news... I will probably buy a PS2 again once Evo comes out in the US. I wish I knew when it would come out, but any news about it coming to the States is relieving to say the least.

Quest Mode is wayyyyyy fun.

Goh Hinogami, Brad burns, better Quest mode 'n no (or very few) aliasing is the main arguments.

Also many characters were changed or had moves added. Vanessa especially.

Although if this is what Sega is doing, I'm skeptical that all the features of the Japanese version will remain intact...

They could cut quest mode since it would take a significant translation effort. I honestly don't think they will though. They're not Capcom, after all.

Well, I wasn't planning on getting EVO, but at $20 with a quest mode it might just be worthwhile.

Now sega just needs to get off it's ass and release Virtua Cop Rebirth.

Be kind to goblins.

Not just translate it; they'd have to redo it completely because of all the Japanese locations.

They can't have real japanese locations on a US release?

They already did. They were called VC1 and 2. What they need to get on is the console release for VC3, which from all reports is the greatest light gun game ever.

From what I understand they are planning on releasing VC3 for Xbox. I don't have a Saturn so I can't play the virtua cop games.

Most US players aren't going to know where any of these places are anyway. The point of quest mode is to feel like the best player in your country, so it stands to reason that for the US version they would want US locations.

But seeing as they're pricing it down, I don't think they will do the extra work. They may just leave out the locations entirely.

I think that's better with Japanese location (I prefer to be champion of VF4 Evo in Japan than in US ^_^).
Besides if they renamed the locations, they should change the A.I. of the best jap' players in best US players.
