Since I'm junior and I cant start my own thread...

Can you sell me this game GAF?

I mean, tell me why is it so good that so many people is multiple-dippping. I'm really curious. the first thing I expect is its potential to be in the VS mode with friends, but how does it stand as 1P game against other games like Mortal Kombat (2011) or Tekken?

Thanks.

Do you have a PS3? because if you do you can play DOA5U for free.. just look up core fighters on the store.

The game has a story mode and various standard stuff like survival, team battle, and versus. Its a fighting game you kind of know what to expect.. it doesnt have some crazy career mode like VF does tho. They use the online mode for you to build rank if you care to, its its own separate mode.
 
I prefer DOA5 over the cartoony look

Sigh... most likely will buy... for the 3rd time...

actually feeling more excited this time tho..last time it was just yeah more content, but now it also means I can move on to PS4 permanently and the game will have visual improvements.

Buying the game for a 4th time? I don't know man. I don't know.

If you buy the DLC packs its like you've bought the game several times over anyway...

Schweet glad I held out, although I'd almost prefer it on PC at this point since I've been enjoying USFIV on steam quite a bit.

Nice!
I've held off on picking up DOA5 (well, other than the Vita version & Core Fighters on PSN) in the hopes that they'd release a 'complete' edition.
Here's hoping it has all of the DLC/characters!

Its just a really really fun game. I like the counter system, even though i've always sucked a bit at it, i like the over the top nature of the characters and attacks..the stage hazards which have always been a staple of the series is back...its DOA. If you liked the other DOA games, you'll like this one too. If you never played, its a great fighting gamer series.


It's bonkers to me that people think DOA4 looked better than 5.

DOA5's characters were gorgeous. The meshes need no change when they move to PS4. They're already great.

I agree that DOA5 models are a HUGE upgrade to previous versions, and you can tell they maximized the polygon count of the models in favor of everything else. But even so, you can't really say the meshes don't need ZERO changes.

There's still the issue with legs clipping through clothes and other body parts. The shader quality, while 7th gen quality, still needs upgrading to actually look in place with next gen standards, and the actual polygons themselves for the models need to be increased a bit, or adaptive tessellation needs to be put in, because there are still sharp edges even on the naked limbs, which stand out like a sore thumb, and would do so even more at a higher visual fidelity.

I hope they take the time to properly address those issues along with texture work, the asset quality of the stages in general, and and overall once over of polish. Assuming they started after DOA5, there's been enough time to work on those updates if it comes out next year.
 
PC port begging is getting ridiculous on every PS4XBONE thread announcement.
In this case, it's warranted though. Team Ninja went out of their way to adapt DOA5 to a PC architecture with the recent arcade version, so why not use that as a base for a quick PC port?

Not that I care anyway because I only have a MacBook Air, but even from a strictly business standpoint, Japanese developers' stance on PC is baffling, and will only continue to be baffling since current-gen hardware is the closest to PC hardware it's ever been.
 
Just a little ps3 1080p upscale vs bullshot comparison to show how this game will look for current gen. I'm still expecting better lighting and higher-res character models.

Game isn't ugly and models are fine, it's just that they all look fake and doll-ish... And no extra power will change that because their art direction went this way... In the end it won't look better, but cleaner. And that's a bit of a shame.

the mod community would be out of control :lol

Hah! I remember how Itagaki got so pissed one time that somebody modded one of the naked Kasumi clones in the test tubes from DOA2 to be a Kasumi swap, he threatened legal action against the person involved.

He was a riot back then...

We should keep in mind that compared to how they looked before DOA5, this absolutely the base design of the characters taken to almost the limit of artistic realism. Until DOA6 that is. They aren't perfect, but no 3D modeling can really be. For what they were aiming for, its a great improvement.
 
Lame. So sick of all these cross gen port announcements. I know it shouldn't bother me but there are so many.

Anyway, own on 360 but would only buy again for PC.

I SHALL BE THERE AGAIN.

For the 4th time (5, Plus, Ultimate) and now this! It's like it's 2013 all over again. I'm hoping all the DLC is included, as I probably spent more money on the DLC for the past iterations than anything else. The game will be absolutely gorgeous.

NOW, they've got to release official support for the DOA5 Fightstick for the new systems! One more time!

I have this game on PS3; it's very nice.

I play fighting games using real arcade controls. Unless PS4 games start supporting PS3 USB controls I will not be buying any arcade style games for the system.

I use PS360+ boards; hopefully they will find a true solution to adapting to the PS4.

I really hope they improve the netcode for the PS4/XBone releases -- DoA5 and 5U online are atrocious, and it feels like Tecmo has been going backwards in that area over the last decade. That would probably gut any chance of cross-platform play, though.

This. The cartoon animu look was horrible. All of the females had damn near the same face just different eye colors and lipstick...some really advanced incest was going on. DOA5 by a country mile easily; I hope they never go back to that "art style" ever again.

Well, we don't know yet. I imagine there must be more than just the three current DLC characters though, why else would there be a such a delay?

Just give me some dudes and some speedos, and I'll be there day one.
It's nice to see a parallel to the common posts. I like you.
 
Well, 2015 is the year I'll finally get a PS4 then. I'll be getting this, Tekken 7 and MK X. Hopefully a new SF will come to PS4 too!

Riddle me this, GAF -- if I was never much into DOA but fell for it big-style with DOA5+ and DOA5U, is it worth getting DOA Dimensions on the 3DS as well? Or would that be too redundant?

I've dumped dozens of hours into DOA5+/U which is a big surprise for me, I was sure I'd be underwhelmed compared to my first loves VF5 and Tekken. But DOA offers a different style of fighting which I actually really enjoy.
 
All I want is Rig in bike shorts with glorious ass jiggle physics.

Dimensions lost me with the hit sparks. It's really lacking in single player content compared to DOA5+ and likely has even less active an online population (if that's even possible).

Unless all DLC is included in full retail price I'm out. Even if you buy the "full" version of DOA5U there's crazy amounts of DLC, mostly just costumes but still goddamn.

...

That's basically why I'm contemplating getting it. That and having Marie Rose as part of the disc roster instead of just being DLC (which I do own but am kind of weary of having one of my favorite fighters just as a downloadable add-on).

And damn it, I just realized I'll actually be buying it for the 4th time, not the 3rd. I have the OG PS3 ver., the PSV ver. and Ultimate PS3 ver....

Not happening, no way, no how.

Based on the incredible rate of new DLC costume releases and their relatively static prices since launch, it's obvious what's making this game profitable. As frustrating as it is, to part with all those waifu coins would be madness on KoeI-Tecmo's part.

The only costume I'll spend money on is this one anyway:

Yes, it was in DOA5U, but they ruined it so TRY AGAIN FOOLS

Be warned that Dimensions is just DOA4 downgraded for 3DS. Its still a fun game, like DOA4, but that's basically it. And there's a story mode for those of you who want to catch up on the DOA "lore". It goes from 1 all the way to 4, so its a good entree point for those who dont understand the story of DOA in 5. Of course, DOA isn't played for the story, but there are things you just pick up that make the experience better. Those of us who are veterans to the series are kinda lucky in that regard.



Also, does anyone know if Ayane still has her Kagero Deception 2 outfit in DOA5 or did they do away with that one? I can't remember...

This could be a revision much like Ultra is to SF4 so why not bring it to current gen? Even if it's not competitive Fgs should not shy away from getting their game out to many communities.

You're probably right, but I'm not really itching for more DOA anyway. SG and Xrd will be enough fightan game for my PS4 for next year I suspect unless this is either a great value or something else pops up. Like a Soul Calibur with online free of mashers or a good single player. Hah.
