With the PS2 edition drawing close to completion, Sega has of course prepared another visual screenshot festival for VF fans to oogle at until its release. Compared to its arcade counterpart, Virtua Fighter 4 retains the same graphic excellence, featuring high-polygon models bursting with exquisite details. New characters to the existing cast include Lei Fei and Vanessa Lewis...each with their own fierce distinctive style. Players can look forward to a bevy of secrets to unlock, a staple to home version fighting games as of recent years - by clearing various goals, special customizable items will become available, allowing players to learn a new complement of moves. In addition, Virtua Fighter 4 will include a Coach Mode, in which you can guide a computer-controlled character through a sparring session, a intuitive rewards system and allow you to customize a character's clothing; using the accessory system to change features from hairstyles to sunglasses. Expect this to be a fantastic package. Below we've provided over 2 dozen screenshots for your enjoyment! We'll have more details as they become available!     
Last Updated: 12/14/01 Sega has released a bunch of new screenshots and information about their greatly anticipated title, Virtua Fighter 4 for the PlayStation 2. While arcade lovers have been able to enjoy this game for the past couple of months (well, in most areas anyways), PS2 owners will have to wait it out until March 2002 to get their hands on Yu Suzuki's latest masterpiece, but for now chew on these tantilizing bits. Virtua Fighter 4 introduces two new characters in Lei Fei and Vanessa Lewis, who will accompany 11 returning characters from the past Virtua Fighter series (exclusing Takarashi from VF3). The VF series has always been known to be a benchmark for later franchises when it comes to graphics, and that's no exception here. With dazzling backgrounds and awesome detail (check out all the spectators in Wolf's stage!), this will certainly be a graphical showcase. But for those who have known and loved Virtua Fighter over the years, they know that at the core of this game lies the most complex fighting engine ever created. Sega has made it a little easier on beginners by including a special training mode which allows you to coach your own computer controlled character through sparring to receive rewards. For those arcade regulars who are wondering if Sega has included any VF.net (the Japanese online system for VF4) features, you'll be happy to know that not only will you be able to change your characters appearance (this includes hairstyle, and even their faces!) down to the smallest detail. Players will also be able to receive special customizable items that will allow them to learn new moves for their characters. The wait is on for this highly anticipated game, but don't fret because March is just around the corner!
