− | | | + | {{stub}}'''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' (バーチャファイター4 エボリューション) is an updated version of ''[[Virtua Fighter 4]]'', and was released for [[Sega NAOMI 2]] arcade hardware in 2002. The NAOMI 2 release was available in both standard ROM board and GD-ROM forms. |
− | + | ||
− | + | It was subsequently brought to the [[PlayStation 2]] a year later, curiously under Sony's "Greatest Hits" range, basing its record off the earlier ''Virtua Fighter 4'' PS2 release. [[Sega Logistics Service]] announced it would end service on the arcade machines on March 31, 2017.{{fileref|SegaProductsTerminationAnnouncement 2016-11 JP.pdf}}{{fileref|SegaProductsTerminationAnnouncement 2016-12.pdf}} | |

+ | ==Gameplay== | ||
{{Cleanup}} | {{Cleanup}} | ||
− | ' | + | The game introduces two new characters; the Judoka-assassin, Goh Hinogami and the Muay Thai boxer, Brad Burns. Various other tweaks have also taken place - for example, Vanessa Lewis's alternate Muay Thai style from ''Virtua Fighter 4'' has been removed, and replaced with a Vale Tudo "Offensive" style, making her a solely Vale Tudo brawler. Every stage has also been adjusted, for example, Lei-Fei's stage in ''Virtua Fighter 4'' previously took place during sunset, but in ''Evolution'' it takes place during the morning. |
− | + | *Improved Graphics: better anti-aliasing. | |
+ | *New item store in Quest Mode. | ||
+ | *Currency system in Quest Mode. | ||
+ | *Opponent tracking log in Quest Mode: kept track of which opponents were fought in Quest Mode. | ||
+ | *Increased number of character items. | ||
+ | *Improved ranking system. | ||
+ | *Special gameplay modes (i.e. Hyper Fighter, See-Saw, Wrestler's, etc.). | ||
+ | *Emblem collecting: placed special incentive to defeat certain opponents or to avoid being defeated by certain opponents. | ||
+ | *New ring type: Semi-open/semi-walled. | ||

Virtua Fighter 4 Evolution (バーチャファイター4 エボリューション) is an updated version of Virtua Fighter 4, and was released for Sega NAOMI 2 arcade hardware in 2002. The NAOMI 2 release was available in both standard ROM board and GD-ROM forms.
It was subsequently brought to the PlayStation 2 a year later, curiously under Sony's "Greatest Hits" range, basing its record off the earlier Virtua Fighter 4 PS2 release. Sega Logistics Service announced it would end service on the arcade machines on March 31, 2017.[6][7]

The game introduces two new characters; the Judoka-assassin, Goh Hinogami and the Muay Thai boxer, Brad Burns. Various other tweaks have also taken place - for example, Vanessa Lewis's alternate Muay Thai style from Virtua Fighter 4 has been removed, and replaced with a Vale Tudo "Offensive" style, making her a solely Vale Tudo brawler. Every stage has also been adjusted, for example, Lei-Fei's stage in Virtua Fighter 4 previously took place during sunset, but in Evolution it takes place during the morning.
- Improved Graphics: better anti-aliasing.
- New item store in Quest Mode.
- Currency system in Quest Mode.
- Opponent tracking log in Quest Mode: kept track of which opponents were fought in Quest Mode.
- Increased number of character items.
- Improved ranking system.
- Special gameplay modes (i.e. Hyper Fighter, See-Saw, Wrestler's, etc.).
- Emblem collecting: placed special incentive to defeat certain opponents or to avoid being defeated by certain opponents.
- New ring type: Semi-open/semi-walled.
