As well as your standard graphics upgrade, there have been a few new additions to the game since Evolution. Two new characters are the most obvious - Mexican Lucha Libre specialist, El Blaze, and Eileen, who is apparently an expert in monkey kung fu, which will no doubt get Chris' pulse racing. Custome and character customizations will be available in the game - if you have enough money, which can be obtained by beating the tar out of your opponents. A new move - the 'Offensive Move' - will do something Sega promises will make the game more strategic. Just what exactly it is, we don't know yet.
"Virtua Fighter 5 will offer fans the ultimate next-generation fighting game experience," beamed the proud Scott A. Steinberg, Vice President of Marketing at Sega of America. "For years, the industry has talked about bringing the arcade experience to the living room. Virtua Fighter 5 fulfills this promise, and then some."
No doubt more will surface during E3. Until then, feast your eyes on the first pretty screenshots in the media panel.
