Virtua Fighter Interview - Pushing Reality and Innovation | EVO 2025







https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cc9t0fP3YQ

Quote
At Evo 2025, IGN had the chance to sit down with Riichiro Yamada, the producer of the new Virtua Fighter Project, and ask him about his vision for the series, how gameplay might change from the older games, and who the heck Stella might be!

The concept gameplay that we've seen for the new Virtua Fighter project has been very fluid with guards going for each individual attack, the arms moving to block each individual attack. How close to this do you expect the final game to look?
In terms of how it looks, yes, [the battle system is] 70% there, and tomorrow there will be an announcement made at EVO [Editor’s Note: This interview was recorded the day before the trailer release]. So I really feel that I’ll be able to showcase what the current situation is. And from a vision perspective, I really have a very strong vision and really feel that we are getting very close to that vision.

So fighting games are in a very different place than they were when Virtua Fighter V was released. What are some of the ways that you're ensuring that the new Virtua Fighter project will modernize the series?
Virtua Fighter originally was a very simple game. It only has three buttons and everyone could basically touch and play it, but as the series went on, it became very complicated. And in terms of that and in terms of the progression, I feel that Virtua Fighter 5 is the complete version. In terms of a new Virtua Fighter, we need to keep progressing even more, not just in the gameplay but function as well.
I really feel that I need to look towards how do we progress this game, how do we improve this game, in terms of functionability, gameplay and how do we make it more modernized? Otherwise, I really feel like it won't sell. So those are the ...

Happy "Respect for the Aged" Day 2025!









Quote
Respect for the Aged Day is a national holiday held in Japan on the third Monday in September. It is a celebration of longevity and an expression of regard for the many years of contribution to society made by senior citizens.
The holiday had its beginnings in a village in Hyōgo Prefecture called Nomadani (now part of the municipality of Taka). On September 15, 1947, shortly after the end of World War II, the mayor hosted a dinner with entertainment for older residents as a way of honoring a generation of parents who suffered the emotional toll of sending their children to war.
The following year, Nomadani independently declared the day a holiday. September 15 falls in the agricultural off-season when the weather is becoming cooler. The idea spread, and in 1966 Respect for the Aged Day became a ...
