History
Development
The NAOMI 2 arcade version of Virtua Fighter 4 uses up to 20,000 polygons for each character, while each background uses over 50,000 polygons, with up to 16 hardware light sources per polygon, at 60 frames per second. This was the highest character polygon count and lights per polygon for a video game up until 2001, giving it the most detailed character graphics and lighting effects of its time (such as dynamic search lights).[4] In comparison, the same year, Dead or Alive 3 on the Xbox used 10,000 to 15,000 polygons for the characters, while Halo on the Xbox used 2,000 polygons for Master Chief, with up to 4 hardware light sources. Virtua Fighter 4's character polygon count was unsurpassed until Virtua Fighter 5 in 2005.[5]
The PlayStation 2 version of Virtua Fighter 4, however, reduced the polygon count down to 7,000 polygons for the characters and had much fewer light sources.
Legacy
Like its predecessors, Virtua Fighter 4 saw several minor upgrades during the course of its lifespan, titled "Ver. B" and "Ver. C" respectively. It was ported to the PlayStation 2 in 2002 with slight graphical downgrades and online modes removed in exchange for more single player options.
Two major upgrades exist for the game, Virtua Fighter 4: Evolution and Virtua Fighter 4 Final Tuned.
