All right!

This was THE game that made me want a Dreamcast, even when I was a die-hard $ony fanboy.

I had only played this game at my local game center two times, in the six year span between it's arcade release and when I got it for DC.

I bought my DC just for this game, yet, I didn't get the game until about six months after I got my DC. Then THAT copy went defective after a few weeks. I managed to get a complete copy a couple months later.

VF3 is widely regarded as the worst of the series. I kinda agree. It's a GREAT game, but it just doesn't seem as fun to me as the others.

It's really weird playing VF4 and VF Evolution, then going back and playing VF3...

Yup. It's a bad port and nowhere near as fun as VF2.

it's a good game, but didn't quite seem as exciting as VF2.

It's also looks dated compared to Soul Calibur, which was a DC launch title.

I never understood why everyone says it's a bad port.

I know there's never been an arcade-perfect port of VF, but what made VF3 so "bad"?

 it290 Sep 12, 2004
Well, for starters, the fact that it was not really enhanced for the DC even though the arcade game had been out for a loong time. Secondly, compared to the arcade, the control just isn't right.

control is different. My least-liked in the serious for sure. VF2 owns VF3.

 Cloud121 Sep 12, 2004
Suzuki said it himself:

"VF3 was mainly made for the hardcore VF player." Basically, players like me.

I enjoyed VF3 a lot. I actually like it more than VF2 a little bit...

I think one reason as to why VF3 is panned so much, is because it wasn't as big of a leap forward in gameplay that VF > VF2, and VF3 > VF4 were.

Play the game for a while, then play VF2 on the Saturn. I think you'll agree that the controls just feel stiff. Also, in my opinion the elevation factor detracted from the gameplay.

:agree

I loved VF2 on Saturn and was really excited about 3tb, but after playing Soul Calibur to death, 3tb just felt pants. I liked 3 when I played it at SegaWorld, but this came out so long after and then felt worse :/

For somegames the pixelisation & saturated colors is good.

Exemple : Shenmue Sat & VF2 looks better than Shenmue DC & VF3 DC.

Its just my point of view but when you see the grainy/dark textures in Shenmue Sat and the flat/Ultrablur textures from Dream's Shenmue, there is a athmosphere very different.

So for VF its the same answer. To my point of view VF2 looks better than VF3 (taking count of the power of each system).

I prefer the look of VF2 over 3 also. The VF3 characters were so white they look like they've lived in a cave all thier life.

 it290 Sep 18, 2004
Yes, and VF2 is stunning for a Saturn game, whereas VF3TB is mediocre for a DC game.
