Though I would love to see Virtua Fighter 6, I have no faith that Sega would make it in any way marketable.
It would be completely bare bones, with next to no single player content. It won't have any over the top mechanics to wow people with in trailers. It will likely have sub-par netcode.
Purists will say none of the above matters because it's "so deep", but they're very, very wrong.
If Sega were even remotely interested in vf (and their other classic IP) they would've ported the series to pc and modern consoles. But that would need money, manpower and talent. Risk taking. Like in the Dreamcast days.
Sadly, the current Sega is not interested in that anymore. They're happy to let the current 3rd and 2nd parties do the heavy lifting. Only safe IP (sonic) gets the full treatment, the rest languishes in digital dust aka IP hell.

Shit, I think I shot down the thread.
Uuhmm, so yeah, vf6...
I reckon the only chance of this happening is when a 2nd or 3rd party picks up the ip. Like the Harada Tekken team. Or the Nagoshi Yakuza LAD team. Is Suzuki's AM2 division still around?

Well, Sega recently announced a return of VF3tb to the arcades in Japan with new online shiz, etc. Sega have also teased a big announcement at The Game Awards, whenever that is soon.
My favourite wishlist game. I've had enough retro flavoured 2D shinobi 'em ups recently to relegate Musashi to somewhere a bit lower down, but Outrun is right up there duking it out with a new pixel art Guardian Heroes. Would also accept anything else on my huge scroll of beautiful possibilities.
The recent DF Retro on Daytona 2 in YakGaiden mentions how current arcade releases are basically just hi-spec PCs underneath. The days of Segas own boards are gone. 2 SP DX was on their Lindbergh platform.
