It was recently revealed that Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 will be delayed by about a month, and Koei Tecmo gave the short and expected reason for those of you wondering. [Thanks, Famitsu.]

As you may have guessed it, the reason for the delay is to “further improve on the quality” of the game. For this, Koei Tecmo will need about a month, which pushes its initial release date of February 25 to March 24, 2016.

[YianGaruga]

Yeah polish those butts

 

[Black Republican]

Or maxing out import sales

 

[Ludger Kresnik]

Around this time next year we'll have crowned DOAX3 the GOTY 2016, all thanks to this delay.

 

[Warxard]

Removing Marie and replacing with Christie would improve the game tenfold

please just give me my ba ji quan trap queen

 

[YianGaruga]

Or maxing out import sales

How does delaying the game increase sales?

 

[Eolz]

Obviously.
"Further", question is how much.
Hope we won't have to wait too long for dlc characters. Also, confirm jet-ski please

 

[Acquiescence]

Yeah polish those butts

Isn't that the player's job?

 

[artsi]

Or maxing out import sales

How does that even make sense?

Isn't that the player's job?

This isn't Sexy Beach, lol.

 

[YianGaruga]

Isn't that the player's job?

Everyone can get a turn

 

[BumblebeeCody]

Everyone can get a turn

Nice to see they also cater to women by adding ball physics.

 

[ShogunDarius]

Isn't that the player's job?

They will be polishing all those trophies they earn

 

[liquidtmd]

[Feral Gingy]

Quality =

Spoiler

jiggle 'n tan

 

[sixteen-bit]

tressfx incoming?

 

[LiK]

perfecting the boob tech

 

[Koobion]

Must be adding abs since there's a severe lack of them on the characters.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Yeah polish those butts

Somethings getting polished

 

[Master Milk]

Nice to see they also cater to women by adding ball physics.

. . . Amazing.

Anyway, that is some sharp fucking sand

 

[JayEH]

Thank you team ninja.

 

[Palculator]

Make it perfect.

 

[ShogunDarius]

. . . Amazing.

Anyway, that is some sharp fucking sand

Now that you mention it, I can see that too

 

[Sulik2]

Hopefully the delay is to fix the hair. In reality its probably just more time to fix bugs and polish it.

 

[dmr87]

Perfecting the T's and A's.

 

[Hubb]

Hopefully the delay is to fix the hair. In reality its probably just more time to fix bugs and polish it.

The hair isn't getting fixed until they do a major overhaul. Maybe in DoA6.

 

[RMI]

Still disappointed, but I hope it is worth the wait in the end.

Removing Marie and replacing with Christie would improve the game tenfold

Spoiler

please just give me my ba ji quan trap queen

only character I would trade Marie for is Mila.

 

[Eolz]

It's amazing how some people keep talking about better hair and tressfx when it's not a big budget game (or even a mid sized one).

 

[Tom Nook]

I can wait...

 

[SliceSabre]

This is nothing but good news.

 

[Possumowner]

I'm guessing they are making sure certain physics are deadly accurate...that's what I'd do

 

[shinobi602]

Polish that ass Tecmo. Polish it.

 

[MegamanXZero]

Heh, "quality"

 

[iratA]

Polish that ass Tecmo. Polish it.

Yes, the ass needs polish (seriously) and some of those sharp edges on the fingers too please.

 

[RockTurtle]

cautiously optimistic they are adding features like new tanlines in all costumes...'

or who knows, maybe even some cut characters....

Spoiler

(or perhaps they are shopping around for a western distributor?)

 

[Warxard]

Still disappointed, but I hope it is worth the wait in the end.



only character I would trade Marie for is Mila.

That is a fair trade.

 

[YianGaruga]

how about we don't remove characters but just add new ones?

 

[InsaneTiger]

So the delay is not to add Souls-type gameplay?

 

[Alfebit]

Take all the time you need. I need that ass to be perfect.

 

[Ultimadrago]

only character I would trade Marie for is Mila.

This. I'd trade some of the others that got in for a whole lot less though.

Damn you Momoji and Helena, damn yooou!

 

[Ryan_MSF]

Team Ninja doing the most.

 

[RockTurtle]

I want them to add evil marie rose. And mecha marie rose. And boss fight marie rose

 

[NoKisum]

Improving quality? So, Lisa confirmed?

 

[Golnei]

I want them to add evil marie rose. And mecha marie rose. And boss fight marie rose

Young Marie Rose is the only clone we need.

 

[EvilKatarn]

Everyone can get a turn

Probably adding in the fan requested VR "Be the ball" mode.

 

[synce]

Tecmo still cares about game quality? Color me suprised

 

[-Horizon-]

"Quality"

 

[Officer.Sanchez]

Next gen ass physics are serious business, take all the time you need tecmo, I can wait

 

[Acquiescence]

Next gen ass physics are serious business, take all the time you need tecmo, I can wait

If you can wait that long without ever biffing one off then you're a better man than I.

 

[TUSR]

Nice, I can wait the extra month with Fire Emblem.

 

[Ludger Kresnik]

This. I'd trade some of the others that got in for a whole lot less though.

Damn you Momoji and Helena, damn yooou!

Of course she was getting in. She's the best one.
