Dead or Alive 5 announced for PS4/Xbox1

I don't know if I'd be up for buying this again. I bought 5, and then Ultimate for PS3.

I'd have to see what new content it comes with.

I skipped DOA5 all together, figured this was coming at some point anyway. If it has all the DLC costumes and characters included and the visuals get at least a decent upgrade then I'm in.

I'm down for this. As others have said, I hope they enable AA in this version and put some work into the stages. Oh, and I'm crossing my fingers hoping the DLC I bought carries over.

Hopefully they include all the DLC. At worst, they should honor people's last Gen DLC purchases.

Yep. The characters look much better than they do in DOA4, but the textures in the stages and IQ got worse.

I disagree. Everything looks worse.

They jacked up his face and the costume is less detailed.


Girls faces also got jacked up but I guess that's more subjective. I prefer the cute, clean designs of DOA4 over pore-riddled porn stars in DOA5.
 
Same engine, expect 1080p, good AA and a bit more.
Nah, you'll see the improvement to the outfits with higher polygon detail and a physics simulation to animate them. If it was just an up res like you suggest it wouldn't have take as long as Spring 2015 for a release. Specially when Tecmo could've taken advantage of the launch window to pitch that hypothetical remaster to users desperate for content.
 
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.

Looks worse to you and that's fine.

But you can easily see how the skin shading improved, the lighting is more natural, hair has at least better alpha coverage. Faces are more life like and detailed both in textures and polygon counts.

Of course when subjectivity enters the ring to some people 4 could look better, but that is ignoring the obvious technical improvements Team Ninja did to their engine.

I think the big problem with DOA5's artstyle is they went for something real but they are too underbudget to handle it thus making everything look uncanny valley-ish.

It's very notable during the cutscenes where the character's eyes look dead and soulless. I would prefer if they went for a middle of the road artstyle between anime and realism.

I dont think a lot of people is going to agree with the Tina comparison. DOA5 models looks so much better.
Old DOA models were fine for a Dreamcast, on 360 they look like weird dolls.

The only thing that is bullshit is that you are preemptively getting angry about something that may or may not be true. Considering they carried forward any DLC from DOA5, DOA+, to DOA5U, there may be a chance the DLC will be compatible.

Woah, woah, woah, cool down dude. I'm not literally angry, it just bothers me the possibility of this. The only reason DLC carried over from DOA5->DOA5U is because they're on the same platform. DOA+ I have no clue about, don't have a Vita.

But, please, enlighten me, what are the chances my PS3 DLC carries over to Xbox One? Nada. Zip. Zilch. It's not happening. I guess I made the wrong choice. Kappa.

I love DOA but there better be a major jump in graphics, although the graphics have improved over the years it still looks like DOA2 at first glance.

No. With DOA5 it was finally fixed so that the character models are actually up to 7th gen standards. It was only until 4 that the girls looks like the DOA2 doll face models. The models were terrible compared to how elaborate and colorful the stages were.

The problem was that they had to have some trade offs for how much they improved the character models, so literally everything EXCEPT the character models looked bland and shitty and low resolution, 2D fire effects in the explosions just make everything look worse.

Now though, they have no excuse. Outside of not wanting to make new stages until DOA6 of course...but i expect them to fix the texture issues atleast for this version

umm I think thats exactly where they are at.

well I dont know about cross platform DLC carrying over, but Im sure PS3 DLC will carry over to PS4. Its already been done before with some games. (DOA5+ saves did unlock you costumes in DOA5)

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
I can only agree with this : apart from the resolution it looks like the franchise has hardly evolved graphically .

DOA 3 even on the powerful Xbox was barely above DOA 2 and the same could be said with DOA 4 on the Xbox 360.

Ninja Gaiden has the same problem.

It's like they never changed their engine and lighting system since The Dreamcast but just bumped the polycount and the resolution.
This is what I mean, DOA5 was the biggest jump I've seen for the series yet still looks like it should have happened in DOA4.

Yes but DoA4 outshines it here and there because of lighting and clear IQ. And design, because DoA4's stages were quite a bit better.

Huh. Well, that's pretty cool. Oh well, guess I'll stick to the PS3 version. Or I'll rebuy everything. Kinda sucks. Pimpbaa didn't know I'm on the bone, too, so I guess he/she isn't at fault there ether.

Man, I hope Namco does a 1080p TTT2 on next gen systems too.

This is something i'd rather them not do. If they want to transfer 1080p enhanced Tekken Revolution on PS4, that would be a nice stopgap till T7, and would fit with the ecosystem. But TT2 was clearly for last gen systems, and they should probably move forward with the future

I disagree.

TTT2 deserved a little more time in the oven and to launch with the next gen systems. Its by and large the best tekken of them all and the fanservice was amazing.

It also had a wealth of extra content that other companies would have no problems charging you for.

Harada has made it clear its off the cards, but I wish he had reconsidered.

I just cant get down with the F2p tekken. I think ive played it once.

If you're going from PS3 to Xbox one thats pretty unfortunate. I dont really see a way for cross buy to work in that situation.

I have to say that I'm proud of myself, bought zero costumes and zero characters for DOA5/U. I knew this moment will come, lol, I hope they have all the DLC for free on the disc.

They won't. They most they can charge for this is $60 (and I'm sure they will). A the DLC added up is a $120+ value.

That would be insanely awesome, lol.

It definitely would be. I'd think twice if it was just all the characters a a portion of the costumes they've released, with a bunch more available for purchase. It's the third fucking time they're releasing the game, just go all in and give it all to us, I'll pay for it.

Oooooooooooh shit.

I'm so glad I held up all this time, I was waiting for a deal on Ultimate, but now we're talking baby!

LoL! You don't know Team Ninja very much, do you? :p

Most likely, dlc will transfer over at least, depending on what previous version you had of course!

With new dlc coming for that "next-gen" assets!
I'm trying to think of what they could add; they already did OL, right?

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.

it's....more than that. DOA5U included some of DOA5's DLC so I would expect this to include some past DLC but not all. It would literally be insane if it included everything.

The female characters look great but the male characters arent quite as well made. They should round off the rough edges and increase the texture quality. The stages have to most to benefit. I would like to see them improve the fluidity of the short hair/bangs.

They haven't announced a Core Fighters version for current gen, have they?

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.

Considering DOA5 released in 2012, they better have something a little cooler than a resolution bump if it's taking them until 2015 to get it ready.
