Almost made it 1920x1080 but decided against it since I wouldn't be able to upload it anywhere.
thanks. gifcam is easier but I think this one gives more option and better output.

Yeah, yeah, yeah
All those beach shots make me wonder
Do we have to wait until DOA6 for the reimplementation of sand deformation and snow deformation? I guess we have to wait for weather in general :/
I still find it annoying that DOAU2 on original Xbox has far better looking stages than DOA5 does. The 2D texture called sand that the feet clip through is just disgusting

yea stages in DOA5 are a real big disappointment.
Hopefully DOA6 addresses stage visuals and overall IQ.

I'm bummed about this too. All the environment geometry i seriously flat and the textures are terrible even on obvious places like the fucking ground right under the characters. It's a huge difference in the quality of the fighters and the environment surrounding them. Some of the greyer, more colourless and industrial areas look especially bad.

So..................Dead Or Alive Xtreme Beach 3.
Now? Right Now? Yesterday?
Way too much teasing going on with these beach gifs.

Just add it into the main game already.
Atleast the IQ part is being semi addressed with the jump to 1080p for the 8th gen port, but they seriously need to step up their game for DOA6 and really upgrade their shit. This port isnt pushing these consoles at all, that's just a matter of fact...
Yeah its annoying because it looks like they have not bothered to upgrade any of the textures at all for the ports, even for the new areas only in this version. I get working on both gens will limit you but still...
As for the level design themselves, its further irritated by the fact that every area looks the same. Bland grey or bland brown. Even the forest areas are just dull to look at cause of the low resolution nature of everything.

Totally agree.
Am I completely wrong remembering the DoA4 stages being far cooler? I even remember the sand on the beach level there actually had geometry and not just a flat ground.
Obviously they are being quite lazy with this port. I understand it's just HD port of last gen game but they didn't even bother to implement AA...
but with this Team Ninja I think the character model is the priority and they seem to put less focus on stages (which is usually the case with many Japanese developers) so I am worried this would be the case with DOA6 as well.

Yeah, they should integrate it into the main series as a side mode. Let the whole cast (male and female) participate. That would be pretty swell.

I don't feel the DOA series has had a tradition for being lazy in the stages from DOA2 and on. They have always had big 3D stages with lots of detail compared to Tekken which long resorted in simply having a scrolling background that surrounded an infinite ground texture.
I could make a whole thread on how DOA4's stages are far superior to DOA5's stages. Yes the visual stuff is missing. On DOA4 the sand deforms with the players movements like DOA3 and DOA2U, but in the DOA5 sand stages, the feet just clip right through the sand like in DOA2H for PS2 and DOA2 for Dreamcast...
But even beyond the visual things...in DOA4 levels in general they were a lot more imaginative. Like you could knock people through windows, knock them over obstacles, surf down the stairs on their bodies even. Every character had their own unique animation they would do when you threw them off the stars...it was just a lot more polished
I meant this current Team Ninja (from DOA5 onward). I know Team Ninja when Itagaki was at the helm had great stages. But the new team under Hayashi is not putting much effort on stages.
DOA4 stages while pretty kinda did damage to the balance of the fights. DOA5 while visually inferior the stages are better grounded for a fairer match. They do need to improve the texture of the stages and colors but I rather keep gameplay balanced stages than some of the crap DOA4 had. The city stage with the cars hitting you and the dinosaurs crap to mention a few. DOA5 should look up to more for DOA3 stages which while simplistic at times had better quality than the recent designs.
Also the knock down stuff I feel they kinda wanted to do that extended with the Cliffhangers but they only used that in like 2 stages.
I dont mind much the stage stuff since DOA5 is the best game in terms of actual gameplay. DOA4 balance was terrible.
Life is only a cheap imitation of hometown...

I can see why people would think those elements suck but they are not a problem if you know how the game handle them, they are not random. I like the environmental hazards, they are part of DOA but maybe they should reduce the damage you take from them.
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Perfection.
I don't disagree 4 was fucked up balance wise(your not getting past alpha without redoing it 5 times after all)
But i think 6 should take the good points of 4, and the good points of 5, and mix them together with upgrades and brand new stuff.

I just want them to return to these kinds of stages, especially 13:35, that snow level is the kind of environmental density i want to see, and that was on Xbox so it should not be hard
Nah, life's the real deal. You need to feel it to understand.

Is it known if the story mode will still be the same of vanilla DoA5?
With all these new characters (I'm counting in DoA5 Ultimate's entries too), it would've been the perfect chance to revamp it for its debut on new consoles.

Oh well, that's a shame but totally expected, considering TN business model for the game.
I don't think they are changing the story mode.

What a perfect pair.
I am sorry man but I must hold my stance on this.Hometown is vastly superior in every way and has a lot more atmosphere to it.People look at life and go wow but when they turn to look at hometown , they can't even speak.
Man I hope this isn't legit argument
If I had to choose between the original and the imitation , of course I would choose the original!
Last Round costs 40 for PS4 right? Guess I will have to buy it. Finally NyoTengu and now some Honkas. She is so...meaty. Softbody engine only for her? ;-P

And Honoka is a perfect fit for SK. Her body shapes is the closest to SK girls...

Id be happy with DOA girls in SK, or SK girls in DOA. Or even just costumes in either or. Katsuragi in Kasumi's traditional costume. :l..... Hold on, I need a moment...
The funny thing is DOA fans wouldn't have a problem with Chloe, and I think Honoka wouldn't have been poorly received by Tekken fans.

Chloe would be a dumb edition in DoA too. I may not care for Honoka too much (as I find her a tad generic), and I don't hate her but, she still looks like a DoA character.
I guess its because of all the life she has. Still a lazy design, especially for the seemingly reusing of Marie's face.
Also, the Tekken girl looked like a mess design-wise. This is more safe (albeit you could say generic too).

Yeah I would not like Chloe here; she has too many unnecessary additions to her person.
No, I'm a DoA fan and I hated Chloe as much as anyone. She's a horrible design, and thank god we didn't get anything like her. I may not be a fan of Honoka but her overall look and mannerisms are vastly more pleasing to the eye than Lucky Chloe. I mean, I struggled to make it through Chloe's debut video. Something about her made my skin crawl, and I clearly wasn't the only one. I'm not adverse to fanservice, either, so I'm not sure what it was. A combination of her voice, the weird furry cosplay and 'Tekkenface' probably did it.

The lighting is beautiful. And what a realistically rendered sand. I need this game.
Genius.

Totally agree, I'd love that kind of density as you refer to in the Xbox video. They can have more plain stages for the competitive players, and the visually great once with lots of funny paths for the more casual players.
