Man, Virtua Fighter 6 has to be happening at some point. They don't need a huge budget to do it, maybe something on the scale of SCVI would do.

Yu being a special consultant on Virtua Fighter 6 or a brand new outrun feels like a fever dream at this point
but Shenmue 3 is happening so I guess anything is possible

I also would like Yu Suzuki to return to Out Run, Virtua Fighter, and other IPs. It'd be a dream come true to see another great entry in those series these days.
I know everyone wants vf6 more, but damn, I would kill for new Outrun. Omg......come on sega, kiss and make up already. I cant believe a man of this calibur has to basically be humble and lowkey beg to work on sequels to his own masterpieces. Seems sad but at least the ball has begun rolling I suppose...
Why not both? both have been out of the spotlight for too long. SEGA should revive Zombie Revenge as well, in today's market it could be something special imo.
I would quite literally sell my soul for one or both of those games.
But who knows? Sonic Mania was one of those dream games that I never thought would happen, and now with Streets of Rage 4 and the recent shower of Yakuzas... I still believe.
Hey SEGA, wanna try something novel? Make them both PS5 lauch exclusives and watch those consoles fly of the shelves haha (which isn't too crazy of an idea, since SEGA and Sony have had a good relationship for quite a while now).

OMG, YES! YES!!!! GOD ALMIGHTY LET IT HAPPEN!
I would pass glass for Outrun 3 and Virtua Fighter 6!

If nothing else? Clout.
Who else at AM2 has the kind of seniority that could make Sega's upper brass even remotely consider getting the funding to bring VF back, if asked?
Please, please, please let there be another Virtua Fighter one day.
Or maybe a new Outrun arcade game along the lines of Ferrari F355 Challenge. That was a wild machine.

Yeah, this is a no brainer. The father of 3D fighting games coming back to revive a series that's been dormant for 10+ years.
A new Outrun for the arcade market might make sense, especially in Japan where they're still into that business. Fleshing it out for a console style game would be quite a task though, at least for modern expectations.
I could kind of see Virtua Fighter happening in a similar fashion to Shenmue: Ys Net licenses it and Deep Silver publishes it. In a sort of ironic reversal they could probably use some of the underlying Shenmue technology to build it.

Vast experience, He produced and directed the series until VF5 which was directed and produced by someone else, This series is his baby.
I see no reason why he wouldn't be able to return to a genre he helped create and make so popular as it is today (3D fighting) and be successful again.
I'd obviously love VF6, but I don't really need Suzuki to direct it. I think I'd rather see him do more Wild Arcade Shit (like his early years) than finish Shenmue, personally, regardless of if Sega and their IPs are involved.
Stop teasing a VF and just do it. This is torture š
Anyone saying no Yu on VF: He's the creator of the genre AND all the dope shit VF did first in their training mode and the customization.
Namco/Tekken made Brad and Goh as thanks to AM2 for permission to use the customization system. This is wrong, I'm suffering from mandela effect.
Boot up or look up VF4EVO or VF5FS training mode or replays system. Tons of details like frame data, combo builder and a glossary of terms in EVO. VF4EVO even had top player replays on disc for all characters to view.
I would love to see his touch and care for detail on a new entry after all these years.

Hope it happens. In the meantime, I was looking at buying the Street Fighter 30th anniversary collection the other day and it got me wishing Sega would do the similar collections for their driving and fighting games.
Would loooove if he came back for a VF6. Outrun is such a comfortable game as well, an HD remaster treatment with him overseeing would be sweet.
OutRun 2 is still one of my favorite arcade racers of all time.
I have been a fan of Virtua Fighter since playing Virtua Fighter 2 on thne Sega Saturn. I remeber seeing Virtua Fighter 1 in arcades before that, but the game never caught my attention beyound the technical aspect of it. There has never been a bad Virtua Fighter game in the main series. VF5 is top shelf. Virtua Fighter 6 needs to happen.
Suzuki had very little to nothing to do with those, he was phazed out of AM2 becouse he did not believe in VF.net and the customisations.
In short he was hindering the progress people like Kataoka(who replaced him) ,Osaka and all were making.
That's amazing. I had no idea that VF4 Evolution pioneered all these things that we took for granted now. Ever the trailblazer even in the later generations. Man.
EDIT: Whoops, just saw the post above lol
Can't imagine that there isn't a person who worked on 5FS there as a design lead
Seen stranger things, I mean ARIKA managed to do it
If you say so
