Dead Or Alive Xtreme 3 confirmed for PS4/PSVita

Or they'll just respond to fan backlash and say they're adding these characters due to popular demand. Then say, "see we listen to you, now pay us".

That is the plan. From they said "Asia exlcusive" then "If the demand is high" We can be sure that we'll get a good amount of the ladies. Only part I am iffy on is Serah and Pai.

I would be cool with them adding males, I am all for more variety, but just as long as they don't take any of the girls out of the roster, which would be very unlikely, but still.

They're doing that regardless though.

An English version with the male characters would attract more sales IMO and perhaps mean that every character is added eventually. I don't really like ala cart DLC rosters but if that's the way for everyone to get the characters they want, then at least it would be something. I truly think Team Ninja would be very surprised by the amount of positive press they'd get if the included the dudes too. It would move the game from being seen as just otaku pandering to something that realistically has pretty much never been done before in mainstream gaming, at least not at this level. The novelty alone would bring it lots of extra attention.

It really goes to show how important the face is to looks when so many of these girls share the exact same body model and yet people either love or vehemently hate girls from that same 'body tier'. Makes me chuckle.

The one thing I was hoping (but not expecting) they'd do is to individualise the body shapes for once. It's bizarre that the men all have their unique bodies (at least, it looks like they do) and the women, who are the visual focus, really don't. Oh well, maybe DoA6. I suppose TN know the look their fans like and think 'why go different?'

The one who really needs a redesign is Hitomi, imo. Her current look, while not as bad as the alpha footage, isn't great. Her head's too small or something, making her body look oversized, and her face doesn't 'work'. She's the one person who didn't fare so great in the leap between generations. Well, her and Brad. I think the art book said that they struggled a lot with her and it shows.
 
Poor Itagaki. He must be burning up how the new "team ninja" is treating his creations.

I am actually guilty and I bought the ORIGINAL DOAX on Xbox. I was actually hyped for the game. For me, Itagaki could simply do no wrong. After the amazing DOA games and the impressive Ninga Gaiden, I wanted him to surprise me with something new.

I ultimately enjoyed DOAX when it came out. After my eyes got used to the amazing graphics (jiggles aside) the game contained a really fun volleyball game. I remember having 4 player party games with DOAX. It was an accomplishment.

Then DOAX2 came out.... ..... I avoided it.

And now.... I don't know what to think... LOL

Well I disagree. Hitomi is my fav model and I like her face work the most (final release, alpha face was bad).

Oh good, so you can tell us who's who then, right?

I agree with your statement about Hitomi. I personally think she is probably the only character that I still somewhat prefer the old look. She looks ok now, but considering she was one of my favorite design back in DOA3~4, it's kinda disappointing.

I agree! I loved the designs for DOA3-4..

I never got into DOA5 because of the designs..
 
What are your DOAX3 wishlists GAF?

Mine
1. Online play including the wave race minigame if it returns.
2. Island exploration (nothing major as this seems to be on a tight budget)
3. Make the good stuff not as expensive but a nice middleground.
4. If we're just getting 9 at the start and it's not BS I want character DLC

1. Improved visuals with better lighting from DOA5
2. massively improved camera/photo mode from the pathetic photomode in DOA5.
3. Good quality volleyball and mini-games
4. many costumes from the start, not all DLCs.

I want to be able to play as a dude and romance the girls. The interview made it sound like such a thing might be possible.

This is a good list, I see 1 and 2 happening.

I hope they improve on the engine for the PS4 version.

I would like that a lot.

I said this in the initial announcement thread but these are the improvements to the visuals I'd like to see;

- Character Model Tessellation

- Hair Physics i.e. TressFX/Hairworks etc. (even though I honestly really like how the hair looks currently and don't see anything wrong with it)

- If breast physics are still going to be as bouncy as they are now improve the underboob when they bounce high up, textures always just stretch there and the illusion of realistic flesh is completely lost at that point. Tessellation or just improved geometry in that area would mitigate this quite a bit I would think (although yes, the realism is already out the window with the physics on DOA/LR/OMG)

-Improved lighting, as previously mentioned, although adding in sub-surface skin scattering is a good start already

-Improved stage graphics, definitely including sand deformation. This still looks impressive on the OG Xbox to this day playing Ultimate DOA2/DOA3/DOAX.

Wishlist:
1. Momiji in the game, pls my Japanese/asian brethrens.
2. Next-gen Life & Hometown physics, this game is day 1 import for the tiddies afterall
3. Local/Online Co-oop Volleyball (How awesome is a 4 person online co-op volley?)
4. Lots of costume & fun mini-games.
5. Better photo mode

Their race on jet skis was pretty decent along side their volleyball, I just think it needs a bit more refinement. Also I'd love for them to have beach football
soccer for the yanks
and a general just island roam mode where you take your character and just explore and find little secrets and take events from there.
 
What are your DOAX3 wishlists GAF?
1. All the characters, from the get go.
2. Good minigames. The volleyball minigame was such a massive step back.
3. Local and online play.
4. Actual aliasing. The image quality in DoA5 is embarrassing on consoles.
5. Better hair, cloth, breast, and some butt physics. Or, and better butts too.

I know it wasnt exactly a priority list, but I'd probably put lighting/shading at the top of the list (besides animation). I think those will make a larger impact to presentation, while they can spend more processing on the environment.

It would probably just be simpler for them to use a lower LOD ( last-gen models? :p) for normal gameplay, and just create a higher poly mesh for the particular close-up modes

Perhaps tress fx 3 lod for the hair if team ninja is feeling up to it. XD

Well shit, if you're going to pander, might as well go all the way.

And it's bullshit that western votes don't count. Why put them up to begin with then.

My wishlist:

Arcade style Volleyball using the fighting styles of the characters in matches:

Ayane spins around to the ball
Kasumi Teleports
Tina is super strong and powerful with spikes

Things like that. Don't make it a shitty sim. Good online, 4 players.

That's exactly what I'd like to see. Make the characters themes in the fighting game settle into the game. It would also make the games they have deeper because you can build a team off what they can do. Like a Lady Kstoute and Misty team you have greater area control with teleports to aid with striking.

Would you guys like if I try to get my contacts to put in these suggestions and we try to fire them off to Team Ninja? It worked very well with DOA5.
