I've been hoping with every iteration that they'd make a throw escaping system more like VFs, so maybe we'll see something like that implemented now that we've got some crossover to the series. Sidestepping actually being there and not total ass makes me think this may be the case.

We don't really have confirmation that stepping is good. All we've seen are a few videos with one sidestep each. Every step is only to evade a single attack so we don't know how stepping works against longer combos. We also don't know the recovery on whiffed attacks to determine if you get a free launch after stepping.

Can't wait to get this. I play DOA2 hard core on the PS2 once or twice a month. I'm still a beast at that game.

I recently played DOA4 on a friend's Xbox and owned him and his brother every round. I should be good to go on this new one... especially considering how beastly I am at Virtua Fighter 4.

No offense, but there's a huge difference in skill between an average, casual player, and a tournament savvy, competitive player. I haven't touched DOA4 in two years, and I'd probably be able to beat you if you've never traveled to tournaments.

for a few more days, yep.

 

[AlphaDragoon]

Oh wow, Hayate has Ryu-style advanced counters now (aka he can hold you into a Raijin).

 

[Dead]

lol at the extended out of breath sequence

 

[lazybones18]

So you can move the camera around the slow-motion power blows...that's interesting and kinda cool

 

[Master Thespian]

Called Hayabusa having Izuna advanced holds for all levels. Team Ninja can't help themselves. Still, the game is seeming legit so far. I like the changes I've seen so far.

 

[raven777]

how did he get the demo early?

 

[TheSeks]

how did he get the demo early?

It's up for NG3 buyers, I thought?

Yes, they haven't "stated that the public will get a demo" but I think it was heavily implyed at the announcement that the demo will be split two-characters per-platform for the public with NG3 owners getting it like a week or two early and Collector's NG3 owners getting the 4 character early demo.

I know its up for NG3 bnuyers, but I thought NG3 is not out yet>?

 

[Dynamite Ringo Matsuri]

Man those dynamic stages are sooo awesome

 

[raven777]

Watching the stream makes me wanna cancel my NG3 preorder and order CE from gamestop.

 

[TheSeks]

Content is on the servers. Just not available "to the public" yet. It's similar to pre-order codes for PSN/XBLA. They're "active" but the codes won't work (or will work but the content isn't there to redeem yet). I assume the demo is already there and someone redeemed the NG3 code.

Also stream is stuttering for me, like all Justin.tv streams do. Hopefully it'll be on archive so I can see it tomorrow.

 

[raven777]

I really want NG3 CE now.....I want the demo with all 4 characters!

 

[Skilletor]

Holy wow this game looks stunning. I can't believe all the stuff that's going on and the overall quality of the graphics at 60fps. Just crazy.

 

[Dynamite Ringo Matsuri]

Is the construction site the only stage on the demo? I watched about ten minutes of the live stream before bowing out. Looks like I'll be maining Ayane again, she's like a whirling tornado of awesome

yes he said there is only 1 stage.

 

[Kincaido]

Wow, the game looks really good. Can't wait until September.

 

[dreamfall]

Is it wrong that this is the only reason why I'm getting NG3 CE?! So excited!

 

[abstract alien]

This game looks so much better than every other DoA...I mean holy shit...

Edit: dat stream quality, etc

 

[Skilletor]

If it weren't for this demo, I would be waiting on NG3 to drop in price.

I will be putting hundreds of hours into this demo, though.

 

[abstract alien]

Wait...that sequence between level transitions isn't completely scripted!? What the fucking fuck...my mind just blew a little lol

Edit: Flying car out of nowhere

 

[The Faceless Master]

hundred dollar demos... what is the world coming to?

 

[Skilletor]

Same place it was when I imported ZOE to play MGS2.

 

[rockman zx]

Well, you can resell NG3 and make the demo cheeper

 

[raven777]

Finished watching the stream. It convinced me to cancel my NG3 order and preorder CE from gamestop. The only problem is I want it on Tuesday, so I will have to call my local Gamestop store to see if they will have it on tuesday, otherwise I will have to preorder it online with extra shipping cost.

As for the demo, it looked amazing. I am not a big DOA player so I don't know the technical stuff, but it looked fun and different. The stage interaction was the best I have ever seen in fighting games (Not just how you interact, but what is actually going on in the background)

My only concern is same with many others, that the power blow is taking too much time and after a while it might get really time consuming.

But other than that, it looks amazing.

 

[SMT]

I always wanted to amalgamate Virtua Fighter and Dead or Alive, in fact, I had been constantly harassing Team Ninja on Twitter to do it these passed 2 years.

THEY CAVED!

 

[TacticalFox88]

uh yeah, about that Sigma 2 ending...NG3 spoilers from the other thread:

Spoiler

apparently it meant nothing. Kasumi's not in.

Speaking of Kasumi, what's with her connection with Ryu? I mean I know he's her "guardian" and all, but what was the purpose of her appearing at the end of Sigma 2 with her face not being shown? There's a lot of other hints that it *might* be romantic, but Irene pretty much negates that...but then again, it's never been outright stated they were together only in the original NES games which were ignored. Hell, even the movie (despite it being terrible and non-canonical yes I know) heavily hinted at romantic feelings between the two of them. Yeah, sure the movie isn't canon, but something had to happen in the games for them to go that route...right?

Am I reading into it, too much? Cause I'm getting different vibes from all of the DOA/NG mediums.

 

[Skilletor]

Powerblows don't seem longer than ultras in SF4, Supers in SxT, or supers in SC5.

They will get old on repeated viewings, though.

My guess is NG3 DLC, or NG3 Sigma character.

Watch Dead or Alive the movie, and then it will all make sense.

 

[raven777]

buying CE from gamestop will cost more than double the normal edition of NG3....just for 2 more characters. But from the stream demo looked so good. Still deciding before I go to sleep.

 

[TreIII]

• Power Blow is
  
• Wall Crumple is like in the Akira video where you get a guaranteed follow-up hit.
• Side Steps are
  
  
  
  and
  
  
  
  and you can do side step attacks during.
• The limbo stun is back!
• Izuna drop hold is still there for High, Mid and Low. It's an "advanced" hold, i.e. the first input is
  
  
  for High,
  
  
  for Mid and
  
  
  for Low. This also does not counter kicks at those levels.
• Offensive holds have been removed from the majority of the cast here. Hayabusa's handstand throw still appears to be an offensive hold.
• Hit bubbles/effects can be turned off.
• The button config lets you select a function and then hit the button you would like to assign.
• You can choose between classic and action camera types which just vary the camera during throws.
• Hayabusa has gained an air throw: :41236::H+P:
• Normal Life is now 270 points versus the previous 240. This is was considered the Large Life setting previously.
• Standard Throws have been sped up back to 5 initial frames.

Liking what I'm reading so far. Gotta wait til tomorrow so I can get my chance at this!

 

[Leona Lewis]

Hit effects can be disabled?!

how many systems can you download the demo? I have 2 PS3s. I heard there is limited number of systems you can download stuff.

When I get the demo, will I be able to download it on my PS3 and my friend's PS3? Is there a limit to how many machines I can download to?

It seems like you're really excited/nervous about the games.

I am! And I am not even a DOA fan. lol

by the way, did u order CE from gamestop? Did it ship already or you getting it offline?

 

[SkylineRKR]

Footage looks excellent. Where SCV etc all felt a bit stale to me, DoA5 actually tries to be different with adding all those bells and whistles around the fights. Which I can appreciate.

This game is on my radar now.

 

[Phloxy]

YES! Every fighting game should have an option to disable hit effects.

 

[TheSeks]

What are hit effects? The bubbles around Hitomi during those QTE-like sequences?

 

[Slamtastic]

I assume the poster just means the ability to turn off standard hitsparks, like how MK doesn't have any.

(Personally I'd prefer to add them to it)

I'm grabbing it in store. The store is about 5 minutes from where I work. I've never dealt with Gamestop's online shipping. Don't know how it is.

She's basically Hayate's annoying little sister that Ryu being a good best friend has to bail out of shit all the damn time. Other than that he doesn't give much of a fuck about her, especially not romantically. Hell, he seems to like Ayane way more from the way they interact.

But since they put Irene back in all of this is moot because nobody else has a hope in hell.
