I like the new visuals. Hope the environmental enhancements don't slow things down.

Seems fucking cool. I'll always prefer the frantic counter battles of DOA 1 tho.

Motherfucker, wonder who else from VF will crossover. The fighting systems are similar enough for a full blown versus title.

Not digging the cinematic cuts during stage gimmick events, utterly unneeded.

Love the new graphics engine, none of that 'doll fighter' thing from before.

Awesome.

I tell you what would really make me mark though, some Fighting Vipers characters. Throw Candy in there fo sheezy.

LOL, just picked up and played DOA4 for the first time on 360 like a couple weeks ago. But yeah, when I saw it was made in 2005, I figured they couldn't wait much longer for a sequel. Glad to see it's finally been announced and worked on a bit, looks good so far.

They can do without the camera cuts before the stage interaction but otherwise the game looks pretty wild.

Rumoured roster list:



I'm not sure I know who everyone is on that list as I've only played DOA 1,2 & 4. So are any of these characters new or from other DOA games?

There's fucking three Virtua Fighters in there.

Mila and Rig are new.

Akira was confirmed awhile ago, but the other two VF people are interesting.

I've also heard something about costumes getting wet from sweat and falling into rivers. They become more transparant as your outfit gets wetter.

lol christ

Actually the new models and designs are way less sexualized than DOA4, breasts actually should move differently between outfits, and clothes getting wet during a fight is actually a cool effect for a reportedly grittier fighting game.

I don't see contradiction at all. But this is internetz.

Trying to move away from stylish and sex-crazed by talking about how costumes get transparent when wet and how boob physics change with costumes, yeah. No details on game engine changes, story direction or roster confirmations.

Engine looks unchanged from the demo vids I seen. That doesn't bother me too much. Story lol. I think there's a leaked roster around somewhere. Reveals somemore Virtua Fighter characters if its true.

Meet Rig, who confirms the leaked list:

4 player tag battles was a norm for this series for years, and it's still a selling point for me.

"Tag Team Action", eh? :naughty:

I like the English voices.

Helena sounds like Michelle from 'Allo 'Allo.

A brand new character named Mila was supposedly leaked recently.

Boxer maybe?

The girl on the right (is that Mila?) looks like a female Heinz from Kensei. If she is German and/or a pitfighter, she'll be an obvious rip-off, in my opinion.

Fighting games do that. A lot.

I know. Akira and Ryu, for example look similar with their outfits. It's no big deal if Mila just looks a bit like Heinz. If she turns out to be a pit fighter, that's when I'd get suspicious and think someone at Team Ninja had been looking to failed games for "inspiration".

Incidently, Kensei is a pretty cool PS1 3D fighter. I prefered it to Tekken, myself. Worth giving it a spin if you come across it. It's not big budget so there are no endings and, in all honesty, almost all secret characters are just clones of other characters but it's still fun, I feel.
It has a lot of counters and reversals etc.

Never got to play that game.

Just preordered the Limited Edition. It's not out until the 28th of this month, here, so I could always cancel it. Hopefully I wont have to, though.

So, anyone else getting the game at launch?

I could have sworn there was some kind of character editor in the game but I can't find any mention of it.

It's not really an editor but you seem to be able to add accessories like glasses:

Won't be getting this at launch, I wouldn't pay full price for a DOA game.

I've enjoyed most of the DOA games I played. I had DOA 1,2 and 4. 1 was fun, 2 was fantastic and I had gotten really good at that. 4 was a let down for me, maybe because I picked it up years too late and had played better fighters that had been released since.

I'm hoping 5 will be as enjoyable as 2 was.

Not the best example of the game but, still.

I played them all. Was really deep into part 3 and 4. DOA2 was my first. Love the tag mode with four players.
