Man... Hitomi's breast got an upgrade hahahaha

 

[GreggTheGrimReaper]

I'm so amazed at the faces, it looks so alive. It really looks like something out of a CGI trailer.

Seems like Ayane just discovered the virtal camera guy:

 

[Meccanical]

I know, the modelers for this one really out did themselves, I mean, if I ever were to imagine the old Ayane out of her anime look and into a realistic one, that would be it.

 

[hikarutilmitt]

I just want Ayane's casual outfit with the black and white top and white miniskirt.

GIMME

 

[Hours Left]

I really don't see the problem with Hitomouse's new look.

 

[raven777]

The close-up face of Kasumi and Ayane looks stunning.

They already revealed 3 of my favorite female cast in the game, and so far its better than expected, maybe except Hitomi.

I hope they polish Hitomi's face on the final version.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Really hoping Kokoro is not made redundant by Akira.

I could live without either Bayman or Leon getting cut (they're different but not so different that I care) and don't really need the boss characters like Tengu back.

I, on the other hand, need Bayman and Leon in my life. I think this is the perfect time to really differentiate the two of their playstyles.

akira kokoro tag team <3


I need:

Gen Fu (probably out?)
Christie (I think she is save)
Kokoro (Probably in)
Hayate (in)
hitomi (in)

 

[rockman zx]

As many of you I'm looking forward to see how the other characters look in this new style, but I'm very excited for the new characters too, something that nobody is talking. As much as I like the ninjas, I hope they don't introduce more ninjas and more unique fighting styles like they did in DOA4 with La Mariposa and Kokoro.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Need to see more Ein and Jann Lee.

I would be genuinely surprised if Momiji is not added in.

whats that

google only had some animu stuff that looked like nothing related

add Ninja Gaiden n there and you will see.

I think all female characters are safe if Helena was saved from suicide.

 

[rockman zx]

I like Momiji a lot but I personally don't want them to mix NG and DOA, even if they are set in the same universe. Ayane is OK in NG because she was there from the first game but that's all. I don't want other DOA characters to show in NG and the other way around, I prefer new characters for both games.

Said that, it will be interesting to see Momiji fighting style taking into account that he is a naginata user in NGS2.

Honestly, if we had gotten this leap with a next gen DOA game i'd have been happy. Amazing they're pulling it off on current consoles.

I totally agree! Finally we're seeing the Team Ninja quality we used to see last gen. Once again they are at the very top.

I wouldn't mind Momiji, but I'd honestly rather see Irene/Sonia, instead. After being made Ryu's designated damsel in distress for so many years, it'd be nice if she actually could fight for herself, for a nice change of pace.

Plus, to say the least, she wouldn't be yet another ninja. She's supposed to be a CIA agent, right? Let's have her fight like one!

 

[Skilletor]

Tae

Fighting with the feet.

I want this in DoA more than ANYTHING EVER!

 

[MjFrancis]

Put everyone in there. Rachel, Sonia, Momiji, Muramasa, a resurrected Doku, hell even a nameless Black Spider Ninja.

Make it happen, Team Ninja. Please?

This too. I don't even care who its practitioner would even look like, so much. I just want to see what Team Ninja's animators could do to represent the style.

Yep! DoA has my favorite animation in any 3D fighter. Watching Brad Wong is amazing.

Agreed. I played a lot of DOA3.1 last night with Mr.Wah for the first time in many years (yeah, I sucked, it's been far too long!). The animations in even that old game still are amazing.

 

[raven777]

Because the visuals look too good to be true, I am worried it might not be native 720P, or it might have AA problem

Hope it is like Soul Calibur 5. I loved the native resolution and sharp AA in SC5

 

[Imm0rt4l]

I've always enjoyed the spectacle that comes with DOA games.

We'll find out in 5 days.

Is the demo on the NG3 disc or is it a download voucher?

 

[Skilletor]

Is the demo on the NG3 disc or is it a download voucher?

I'm assuming it's a download voucher, though I haven't read about it anywhere.

Edit: Amazon description says voucher.

[raven777]

Yea I got NG3 pre-ordered.

The first thing I will play is DOA5 demo, not NG3 lol.

I will play NG3 while the DoA demo is downloading.

 

[TreIII]

Same. Though, after seeing how much farther things have come along in the milestone used for "Akira v. Kasumi" footage, my hype to play this upcoming demo based on the older build has diminished a bit.

 

[raven777]

I will play NG3 while the DoA demo is downloading.

Oh yea, its gonna be DL voucher...

well I guess I will do the same.

But I need to play NGS2 before 3..

 

[louie]

More new videos:

Ayane vs Hayate

Ayane vs Hitomi

 

[Endo Punk]

Best use of Sixaxis.

 

[shink]

I've been wanting to play DOA since playing DOA2 on the PS2. So glad it's finally coming to the PS3, it looks fantastic.

 

[InfiniDragon]

Don't know what the heck people are talking about on Hitomi, she looks just fine once you actually see her in game.

This looks really good so far. The new artstyle is absolutely KILLING the old one.

 

[rockman zx]

More new videos:

Ayane vs Hayate

Ayane vs Hitomi

Not sure if I like the character selection screen. The stats are kinda funny, how come Ryu only has 3 blocks in attack and Hayate, Hitomi and Ayane 5 blocks?.

The Hitomi player on the second video did some good stuff. One week to go!.

Especially considering traditionally Ryu wrecks shop over all of them, it is kinda hilarious.

 

[abstract alien]

The juggles still look like weightless, empty crap when light attacks connect...but still better than the atrociousness of VF. However, everything else looks pretty cool. The speed has been slightly reduced, which actually lets you see some of the nice animations while giving impact to the moves that do come out an increased velocities. Still looks like a few of the light combos using japs or weak hits looks paper thin, but over all its a pretty big improvement over what we have usually gotten from DOA. Loving the backgrounds and all the movement though.

Will probably buy. Can't deny a good game.

I admit I haven't been this interested in DOA since the Dreamcast DOA2.

[TreIII]

Certainly nice to see lifebars and what looks to be a "real" match, at long last.

 

[EYEL1NER]

Argh, can't wait!
Just got my new copy of DoA Ultimate in the mail yesterday and my buddy gets off work in half an hour, so we'll be playing some DoA2 all day.
I am so damn tempted to get Ninja Gaiden so I can get the DoA demo.

Too late. Kasumi was in the ending for Sigma 2. Expect more females from DoA in it.

 

[TreIII]

The Hitomi vs. Ayane match-up is probably my fave of the bunch. I believe the comments on FSD sum up my feelings well enough on it.

Surprisingly, this is probably the most interesting gameplay video yet - in my opinion. That's because the player using Hitomi is certainly knowledgeable about the game, using jab pokes, crouch dashing (both forward and backward), proper setups, and poking. It's definitely good to see and makes me wonder who it was who played Hitomi. In this it also appears the cliffhanger doesn't do that much damage, not even killing, and you can also opt not do direct the Power Blow attack which would cause the player to just fly backward by default. I can see a competitive player just not caring at the point in time it's shown because it would kill the opponent anyways. Also, we see that sidestepping can evade pretty early in an attack - something suggested by virtuaPAI in a previous thread.

Edit: And lastly, G4 also had their own interview with everybody's favorite Ninja Dog Hayashi, which technically was conducted before the Akira trailer reveal. If you want to read the whole interview, follow the link. The most interesting bits that haven't been reiterated, however, can be found below.

Is this approach being adopted to appeal to a broader audience than the genre generally attracts?

YH: Yes, that's true...that's one thing. Some fighting games are very hardcore, which we have in here. We're not ignoring our hardcore audience; they will still get the same experience they've gotten in the past. We have the deep fighting game systems, but we also wanted to make it so the more casual crowd could also have fun with the game.

Fighting games typically don't focus on narrative. Will DoA5 's fresh approach also translate into a deeper story mode?

YH: Yes, it will. It will be more like one whole intertwining experience rather than just little cut scenes.

Can you talk a bit about what you have planned for online multiplayer modes?


YH: We'll obviously have multiplayer as we've had in the past. We're planning a huge online mode, but we're not talking about it just yet. We're also still experimenting to see what will fit best. We'll also have lots of the favorite characters from the franchise, but I will put some new ones in there as well.

Okay, great, and when can we expect to see more of DoA5?

YH: Well, we&#8217;ll have the demo that you just saw included with Ninja Gaiden 3 pre-orders. It will also be in the collector&#8217;s edition. Before that, at the end of March, we&#8217;ll also have some new announcements.

Hopefully, that "deep gameplay" he speaks of is more like DOA2/3.1, and less DOA4...

 

[twobear]

does anyone else think that anime people look really weird when they're rendered like real people?

Agreed. But I don't really like the camera pan water effect to signal the environment change. :/ Too much like SF4 and it's a bit jarring. I'm sure I'll get used to it eventually while playing the demo but still...

Also Faceless you better be getting this on PS3. :3
