I haven't played the game yet, nevertheless I'll still comment. I don't think it's half assed but I don't think it reached the peak potential VF5FS did. Could be COVID related, we'll never know. Upgraded graphics are cool, but it seemed to still be missing alot of stuff on launch that VF5FS had.
HOWEVER, it's hard to complain about a game that was free at launch for a few months, so I'll give it a pass. I could only imagine the blow back had they charged for a game that had no lobbies @ launch, lackluster customization options (when FS had both), no rollback, and exclusive to PS (FS was also multi-platform at launch).
It's great that they're trying to bring in a new crowd. Unfortunately, it's still VF; the game comes with the title of having a steep learning curve that's only going to draw in a competitive scene. Whatever Namco is doing with Tekken, I think AM2 should look at and take note. Tekken is a complex game yet Harada is somehow able to grasp both the competitive and casual fan base whereas VF is supported by only it's competitive fan base really. I don't think Sega is going to gamble investing into a new iteration of VF if they don't think the game is going to generate revenue.
Maybe they'll pull a SCVI where alot assets were reused so production probably didn't cost much yet it was a success which will pave the way to SCVII which will probably have a higher budget.
