So... was virtua fighter: cyber generation playable at E3?

[Damian79]

While, I could understand how most siters had so many other games to try, not a single hands on impression?

[MVS]

Has it even been announced for the US?

[Damian79]

I am pretty sure it was. It would be a damned shame if we didn't get to try one of Yu Suzuki's games.

[Frogacuda]

Yeah. It's Virtua Quest in the US.

don't know how involved Suzuki is. He's at Digital Rex now, remember?

[Damian79]

Yeah. It's Virtua Quest in the US.

Then who is making this then? Yuji Naka? Please don't say it is him.

[AaronChance]

Yeah. It's Virtua Quest in the US.

Yeah, he had zero to do with this and even said so in an early interview when this was first announced. I forget the name of the director, though it might have been the current head of AM2, since I'm pretty sure this is an AM2 project.

I will be shocked if this game turns out to be even halfway decent...

[Yoshi]

Agreed. It's more important than a Sega Rally sequel though.

[Geruto]

I played it, it was decent from what was playable (one city level and some training exercise with akira), but don't expect mindblowing stuff.

As for Digital Rex, their game on the show was Amazing Island for Gamecube. Looked cute but didn't play.

I saw it at Sega's booth and was quite underwhelmed.

It looks like Pokemon meets Megaman.exe meets Virtua Fighter. You play some spunky goofy-looking kid who goes into "cyberspace" to fight it out against the realistically rendered VF cast. Seeing a squatty anime kid fight Akira takes an edge off the serious angle VF has always had as a fighter.

I didn't get the chance to play it first-hand though, but if looks are anything to go by, do not expect another VF. Or an RPG based off Virtua Fighter characters and their world. It looks like what they pulled with Sonic in Sonic X - make a generic cast and world, and throw in the videogame characters almost as an afterthought.

Just my 2 cents.
