[GuardianE]

Keep in mind that DOA is a multiplatform affair, so them making a solely PS4 exclusive title and that being DOA would splinter the fuck out of the playerbase; something that Ninja Dogs wouldn't want

Yeah, because they've never done that before.

Oh wait. DOA3.

Keep in mind that the PS3 version of DOA5U has enjoyed a lot of success with a proper, well-implemented FreeToPlay+Retail hybrid model. I imagine that they would continue that tradition with DOA6. I'm not 100% sure if both next gen consoles are equipped for that.

FTFY

Yeah, I'm thankful they're not working on DMC either.

 

[TheRealTalker]

Too early for a DOA?

 

[xion4360]

Its probably Ninja Gaiden since they hinted at it already. I personally want DOA6 though.

 

[Wishmaster92]

yessss

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

plz be DOAXBV

!

 

[Skilletor]

Too early for a DOA?

Assuming this comes out next year, it would be two years since DoA5U and 3 since DoA5.

I'd like a port of DoA5U with the f2p version on PS4. Would be pretty great.

 

[Silky]

lol.

Have fun playing the nothing Itagaki is putting out the past...6 years?

/me goes back to one of the best supported fighters this generation.

I wish I could play one of the best action games of this generation that's not Bayonetta.

Ninja Theory has royally fucked the Ninja Gaiden series/

With the exception of 2 and 5, every DOA game has always been a console exclusive for ones they were originally released on.

Mainline:-

DOA 1:- PSX
DOA 2:- DC, PS2, XBOX (DOA2:U)
DOA 3:- XBOX
DOA 4:- 360
DOA 5:- PS3/XBOX

Spinoffs:-

DOAXBV:- XBOX
DOAX 2:- 360
DOA P:- PSP
DOA D:- 3DS

EDIT:- And like some others have already mentioned, they often pushed the platform exclusive release to the limit. DOA: Paradise for example, is one of the best looking games on the PSP, with regards to the model complexity. It looks gorgeous even when uprendered on an emulator like PPSSPP.

NG4
Ni-Oh
DOA: whateva

choose your poison

 

[Master Milk]

Console exclusives were Itagaki's doing though, weren't they? Because he loved pushing the most powerful hardware to its max.

Probably not going to happen again, which is kind of sad, actually

 

[TnK]

Is DoA5 being played in the fighting game scene? Haven't been following it for a long time now.

Also, DoA5 is amazing, won't lower my expectation, lol.

 

[Silky]

Damn I forgot all about Ni-Oh. We haven't heard from it since 2012...

It's here and there.

Yeah, you're right. But it's not like there isn't precedent. I'm actually more curious if the Xbone would handle Core vs. Full version cross-compatibility.

 

[Sub_Level]

Wipeout

Even as a joke people should just really stop bringing up Wipeout. Like it's funny when you do it to the Shenmue fans but this is still too soon.

 

[TheSeks]

Given their output, they should focus on DOA and give up on Ninja Gaiden.

Still have yet to see a DOA XBV3. Need to know the status of who directs that.

But Tecmo should fire Team Ninja Gaiden/Hayashit and keep Team DOA.

 

[QisTopTier]

I want a DoA6 if it can keep up the progression in gameplay that 5 has

 

[rockman zx]

Something new for a chance?, is time to show that they can live without Itagaki's legacy.

 

[thunder_snail]

They should combine in to Team Ninja Theory and let the Ninja Theory people work on the presentation while Team Ninja people work on the gameplay. It'd be the ultimate third person action team that could potentially surpass platinum.

Edit: But Team Ninja should still work on the physics.

FTFY. 1 was included in Ultimate as well.

DoA is doing just fine despite Itagaki's best attempts at ruining the game.

 

[Master Milk]

It's happened before, but that doesn't really mean anything.

Team Ninja's produced an amazing Ninja Gaiden before, but there's no reason to think that's going to happen again anytime soon.

Likewise, no reason to think they're going console exclusive. At least, not unless you're strictly looking at X1's adoption rate.

Does DOA sell a lot on Japanese Xboxes? I'd really love to see the next DOA be PS4 exclusive.

 

[Griss]

DoA5 is great. Wrong answer.

Hope this is DoA6.

Praying this is DoA6 as well. I love that series, and for me DoA5 is easily the best it's ever been, and it was an astonishingly successful aesthetic transformation for the series from ultra-saturated 'real-doll' look to something still stylised but far more realistic.

I do wish they'd reduce the silly bust sizes and de-emphasise that side of the game, but I got 200 hours or so out of DoA5 so whatever they do with the next one I'll be there day 1.

Just not Ninja Gaiden. That shit has been killed stone dead.

What Japanese Xboxes?

But seriously, I'm sure that DOA5U (and its DLC) is selling better on the PS3. The fact that it has a f2p model means that anyone can download, play online, and buy characters/costumes. I'm not sure what arrangement would create a PS4-exclusive DOA, but that's certainly more likely than a Microsoft exclusive DOA.

 

[gembel]

They also developed Toukiden... Toukiden PS4

I'd guess sales worldwide are more important. If it's exclusive, it could just be that TN is looking at a core fighters type of thing and maybe MS' policies get in the way.

I doubt they'd make it exclusive. I hate speculation when we don't even know what the game is, haha.

 

[ambientmystic]

Thanks for the correction. I was unaware of the Saturn port for the first game.

A new Dead or Alive for the PS4 would be orgasmic.

Yea, Xbox and Japan, what was I thinking

Whatever this is, it's probably not going to be PS4 exclusive. Maybe the next game after this will be though

 

[Eppy Thatcher]

Motherfuckin DOA:5:HardCore - in my godamned veins. Nao. Or 6.

Still waiting for my fighting game where you look beat to shit and the cafe you started the fight in is practically falling off it's foundations.

 

[CadetMahoney]

Hopefully it's PS4 exclusive.

 

[Shungin12]

I will be happy with DOA5U port to PS4, with ps3 DLCs being compatable.

Team Ninja really missed a trick by not having a PS4 version of DoA5: Core Fighters ready at or near launch.

In this dark age of free to play and microtransactions I really feel like Team Ninja have done the AAA console FTP experience better than almost anyone else with the Core Fighters game, and they deserve praise for that considering how badly everyone else has been fucking up.

No cooldowns or tokens to fight, all modes bar story available for free, rotating free characters so you can try before you buy, and the vast majority of the paid content is costumes that don't affect the game, and yet that's where they make their money.

It's entirely possible to download the game, pay 8 bucks for your favourite two characters (with the 4 ninjas permanently free), have 10-12 free costumes for them, and then play without any nagging or issues at all for months on end. It's really a brilliant system, and they're one of the only companies I'm willing to buy DLC from because of that. Well, they would be if that shit was priced fairly. Which it isn't. But you can't win 'em all, and the fact that the FTP structure is good is far more important than the fact that the costumes are overpriced.

 

[a Master Ninja]

Hopefully it's PS4 exclusive.

I don't see why it would be. There would be significant crossover between Killer Instinct players and potential sales of this game.

 

[SykoTech]

Dead or Alive = interested

Ninja Gaiden = go away

Yup. If fighters are going to do the f2p model, I hope they do it like TN.

Because Xbox is (and always has been dead) in Japan and Japanese titles typically don't do well on the Xbox in the US. It would seem to me that making something exclusive for PS4 might be the most financially viable option.

 

[Aspiring]

Thanks for the correction. I was unaware of the Saturn port for the first game.

Didn't the game first come out on the Saturn in Japan and later ported to PS1? So the PS1 version being the port? A least thats what i remember reading in SSM all those years ago.

There are Team Ninja games that are million sellers on Xbox platforms. DOA was practically exclusive to Xbox platforms for a decade. Sony and MS's hardware are more similar than ever meaning porting the game shouldn't be a big deal. Exclusivity doesn't make any sense unless Sony is buying that exclusivity.

 

[Strike]

Man, I really miss Itagaki.

Yeah. I wonder if Devil's Third will ever see the light of day.

 

[stryke]

Edit: wrong thread

 

[Kai Dracon]

To me Team Ninja has lost very little with the departure of Itagaki. Despite determined hatred for it, they did a heroic job fixing NG3 as much as feasible with the RE version. They know what they fucked up there. I want to see what they do for Ninja Gaiden 4.

And DOA5 is a straight up great game.

 

[HYDE]

Ninja Gaiden reboot I hope with tight gameplay like I and II, forget III and Other M happened then create a perfect Ninja game.

Get rid of the outdated trash resolution ocean to mountain Team Ninja opening scene.

Borrow ideas from Bayonetta I/II, DMC 3/4, and NG I/II to make the perfect action game.

 

[ZenTzen]

if its a new Ninja Gaiden, i seriously hope they've learned from their mistakes

 

[Muchi Muchi Pink]

Kasumi and Ayane were great in NG3RE. I'd LOVE an NG game developed from the ground up with the DoA ninjas in mind and not tacked on after the fact.

Yeah both were actually fun to play as.

 

[Kinyou]

I don't see why it would be. There would be significant crossover between Killer Instinct players and potential sales of this game.

I wouldn't be surprised when they pull that "sigma" stuff again. So basically timed exclusive
