New Dead or Alive 5 footage. (Update 2: Releasing Worldwide In September)

They list the stages from DOA Dimensions as well, but the new levels appear to be using a different file format and I'm able to distinguish them that way. I'm not quite sure if I should list out all the stages to be honest... One returning stage is the Tatami mat level and there appear to be 16 levels in total, 7 of which have a second tier and no stages appear to have more than that but don't quote me on that.
I'm disappointed Gaf... I'm highlighting the hint I gave in the post.

Since no one got it, I'll just post the list:
  • Plant Heliport
  • Gym
  • Lobby
  • Tatami
  • Pro Wres
  • Temple
  • Aquarium
  • South Pole
  • Battlefield
  • Circus
  • Train
  • Dorou
  • Jungle
  • Laboratory
  • Plant
  • Sibuya

The items in bold are the stages with two tiers but it doesn't look like any stage has more than that. These are obviously placeholder names, for example: Sibuya is the stage playable in the demo but they call it "Scramble" now. They tease Battlefield and Dorou in the demo's title screen as well.

I'm assuming the jungle stage is the one they showed in the akira trailer. I'm sad to see there isn't a beach level.
 
Aw, no
Kage
? Fair enough. The series already has more
Ninjas
than
Mortal Kombat
.

I wonder how many characters are going to look Kasumi-good and how many are going to look Hitomi-derp.
Still not finding Hitomi that offensive, but... Judging by the demo fighters, it's 3-1 for Good Looking team. Enough for me to be quite positive for the other characters. :D

I have to see Tina and Jann Lee tho, before I can start posting thankyoubasedgod gifs.

To me, at least, Hitomi looks fine. Especially on screen.

Again, I really want to see how time has treated Lisa. And if they can give her more than just a pancake ass, I'll be happy with her design. :lol

All the girls had pancake asses in the last game since they shared the same body minus the boobies.

It'd be nice to see if bodies were varied this time around. Certain girls have bigger waist sizes, more pronounced muscles, etc. since Lisa is from Brazil(?). I know DoA:p on the PSP experimented a bit with light muscles on the textures.

I'd like to see how the rest of the guys are handled though. Ryu's face looks incredibly weird in NG3 and Hayate looked a bit too Soul Calibur-y. Has there been any word on new characters?

Wow that was fast! :D CSX was the fastest though. PM is on its way.

Also emailing Tecmo works...cause that's how I got this code. I recommend trying it.

Lol I email them and I still havent gotten any response -____-

I was one of the first posting the email here and they recently asked me to verify which console after that nothing else.

I got mine at about 3am this morning. Seems they are tackling the backlog of emails they must have. If you call it is instant, but you'll have to give them another PS3 code in exchange (I gave my SC5 Dampierre code :D).

Sorta...I called up and said my code in the NG3 CE didn't work and they gave me a new code. Somewhat shady but I don't feel bad because it's just a demo.

I sent a email to them using a email a few post back and they got me a collectors edition code without having to purchase ninja gaiden 3. Just tell them the code you got didn't work

That's real shady, especially considering cats on eBay are paying upwards of $67.95 to get a hold of this demo. Then again, faced with the alternative of either getting the demo for free or paying $45 - $67 for it, I know which choice I'd attempt first.

It's fostering a little regret that I entered my premium demo code the moment I opened my copy of Ninja Gaiden 3, though!

Silly quotes aside, the demo is pretty good, and they're doing a lot of innovative stuff with the environment. The fighting is also great, and I think the tweaks to the system make it much better than DOA4.

I've never really been excited about a DOA game before, but with the environments, updated look of the characters, overall match flow, and just general presentation, this will be the first DOA I buy... on release or ever.

And the Option-Select that happens (without on screen prompts, mind you) when you are hanging on the ledge is fucking awesome, it's not a QTE. It's a canned option select, just like Vanessa's take down from VF or something similar. Just crazier animation.

Yup. And the strategy with powerblows is pretty awesome since those sequences might not net guaranteed damage.

I do think environmental damage is a bit high, though.

Did you have to give them a code or anything?

They do not ask anything they just give you 2 codes NG3 online pass and Dead or Alive 5 Demo. If you tell them you have NG3 Collectors edition they give you the 4 characters demo.

Hopefully, Grap3 won't mind if I post his latest Team Ninja tweet-translations!

I tried this and got the following response:

"We apologize for the inconvenience, but if you can send us a photo copy of the code from either the receipt, back of the redemption card or copying and pasting the code(digital copy) then we will be able to further assist you."

So I guess it's been abused one too many times. Anyone have a used redemption card or code portion of the receipt that they can take a screenshot of and PM to me? :D
