Nice, bet in the end when people start modding the crap out of this sad excuse for a port, the devs are still gonna resort to blaming that for their lack of future PC port instead of acknowledging that with a crap effort like that, they basically already sealed the fate of their PC presence pre-release.

Team Ninja finally made it official... same chart as the Japanese one... almost- http://teamninja-studio.com/doa5/lastround/us/info_steam_spec.html
Notice how they "accidentally" left the table for the missing soft engine blank. No achievements also confirmed.

I kind of like how the AA and shadows are toggle options. You want choices on shadow quality or what AA to use? Too bad! You'll like what we give you, or you'll get nothing! (At least you should be able to force the AA at the driver level.)

If the owner of the company that I worked for wanted to test the waters in a new market, and my direct supervisor said "fuck it, it's a waste of time," I would probably put out work of the same quality as this port.
Just a theory.

OMG. You deserve better than that game. But they are "real" women.
I got it for $13 so I can't complain too much. I can't wait for my women to look good.
It's fucking embarrassing.
At least people are able to cancel their pre-order easily through Steam.
Stereo audio? No surround mix? Someone really needs to give them a few pointers on how PC versions should be approached. :-/
Thanks for the link, by the way.

Blank space for boob engine cracked me up
Seriously I can see why Itagaki quit this company. I don't think TN is to blame here, someone at the top either didn't give them enough money, manpower, or time. And they're trying to push an incomplete port of a 3 year old game for $40

Wow, very impressive physics right there. The ps3 looks pretty bad in comparison. Boobies are supposed to be soft and bouncy but in ps3 they look like bricks. Guess I see where the "soft" in soft engine comes from.
You know, same shit happened with naruto storm 2. The engine was capped at 30 fps and the only anti-aliasing option was 2xSSAA. But the more developers make the move to pc, the better it'll be for us. I fully expect the new naruto game to be at 60 fps with proper/decent graphic options on pc.
I don't recall any ninja gaiden games for pc either, so if this goes kinda well, they'll definitely put more effort in next time. Can't wait until there are no good console exclusives, I hate missing out on great games because of 30 fps and no 3D vision support. Just imagine the order at 4k, or uncharted at 4k at 60 fps in 3D. That's almost like playing a whole new game.

No soft-engine.
It's like they don't care. Dynasty Warriors was also a port of the PS3 version.

I dislike how on the English website version, they don't list "yawaraka engine" (the soft engine) but leave it blank but still an "X". It's like oh yea "woops" we left out our selling point for Last Round on PC.

It does not seem like a "mistake", that was a selling point for the PS4. Dammit koei tecmo, I wanted to give you my money for a PC DOA...but now I don't wanna.
They only release the PC specs after ~4 months of pre-orders building up. All of us watching that pre-order bar on steam go up with our preorder money. Baka KT is baka.

PS4 version it is.
Should we be grateful that it costs as much as the PS4 version even though it lacks its features?Hey. Be glad they're porting it at all you ungrateful bastard.
Had to add that in, too.
"PC sales were quite low with Dead or Alive 5 Last Round so...."
Good riddance. We don't need shithouse developers like this on PC. Make the port right or don't make it at all.
this wasn't the case at some point?

I'm finding this totally baffling why Tecmo decided to do the extra work to port a PowerPC derived version (PS3 / 360) to x86 (PC)
When they ALREADY DID the same thing for the PS4 and XB1 versions.
Far be it for me to claim it would make FUCKING COMMON SENSE to use the existing updated and revised x86 version on the PS4 and XB1 and simply just adapt it to another x86 platform (PC)
But, nooo, doing the common sense and logical thing isn't what they do.
Fuck off Tecmo, buying the game on PS3 for the original release of DoA5 is one thing, but I don't tolerate laziness.
You get nothing and hopefully your PC "port" of the game is rightly criticized harshly for it. Incompetent fools!

Speak for yourself. This is a shitty port, no one is going to argue that. I however would like some of the games Koei Tecmo have to come to PC and to keep coming to the PC.
Maybe your info is wrong and the port is based on the arcade version that runs on an i3 and a GT545.

The port is lazy but the soft physics look ridiculous. Boobs don't continue to undulate for a full two seconds after a woman stops moving. They look like water balloons on the moon. And I hope someone mods in decent skin so it doesn't look like Doll Fighter 2015. Or maybe that's part of the appeal.
I'd like Ninja Gaiden Black and 2, and Toukiden but I'm not going to support bad games (with baaaaad ports) like DoA and Dynasty Warriors to have it happen.
Supporting this kind of disrespectful work is counter-intuitive. At least I have my principals.

Yet it still makes no sense when the x86 PS4 and XB1 superior versions already exist.
It's pure laziness if they decided to use an outdated Arcade version when a more recent version exists using the same architecture.
Congrats on your principals. I'd welcome Koei to bring as many games to the PC they can. There is at least a chance one of the ports is good. I'm not going to just say "we don't want a shit developer like you on the PC".
This is not me saying I will buy all the games they bring, I wont. Specially if they are shit ports. I'd just love to see them try, you know, a little harder than they've done in the past.
I want the same thing, but I'm not supporting a company that is deceptive.
But you could say "we don't want shit ports on PC"
...or just keep giving these companies money for their lack of effort. Your call.
Edited in my answer a little too late. I am fine saying I don't want shit ports on any platform. I am not fine saying "stop trying". Maybe every game they release sucks, but I'd rather them try than not try.
This is the new Team Ninja, not the old Team Nina. Odds are they don't even want to acknowledge Ninja Gaiden Black exists. If they do port anything, it'll be Ninja Gaiden Sigma... running at 30fps!!!!
