Kino(?) has entered the 7th Gen.

A lot of things have been carried over and refined from 4, specifically Final Tuned (an arcade only update.)
Graphical leap is yet again on the revolutionary side despite being early in the gaming generation. And unlike previous entries ported to consoles, no such graphical downgrades to be seen.

Gameplay is just as good as ever. In some ways, better than 4 despite that one being my favorite entry overall. It's also a lot more emphasis on striking. The game's combos are a bit more floaty than before. Not Tekken floaty but more DOA floaty where some moves can bounce a "crumpling" opponent back up for more comboing.

Side content is a bit disappointing. No extra modes of battle like Evolution and Quest mode is a bit gimped. Customization, however, is a big improvement.

Great game and great fighter all around.... but I still like VF4 a bit more.
