when was the last time that a fighting game didn't run at 60 frames anyway? That's a necessity for these kind of games where the output of 1 button is crucial for perfect execution.

Gran Touring5194d ago

seriously right? 60 frames in a fighting game is STANDARD.

Rolento5194d ago

-Ruined by SEGA (& published by them).

-Stupid new slowdown mechanic after every fight to further take you out of the experience.

-Shoehorned in a terrible character from one of the worst selling fighting games (Virtua Fighter).

-New ugly "realistic" faces.

This isn't a DOA game at all otherwise I'd actually be interested in buying it. I'll skip it now. I'm surprised that SEGA didn't stuff Sonic into the game too. I would be excited to see Itagaki's next game but that looks like it will be a Devil's Turd as it's confirmed to run at 30fps. In any case, it looks like 3D fighters are now dead since Virtua Fighter, DOA, & Tekken games all suck now due to retarded decisions from their company. Looks like Hayashi ruined Team Ninja while Itagaki lost all the other talent to make his games run at 60fps.

So, SEGA is helping a company out... How dare they do that! Tecmo does not have the money to mass produce this game right now. SEGA has a tendency to make sub par games, true... But they are not making this.
And they also made Resonance of Fate, Bayonetta and Vanquish... Which are all great games.

So... A slowdown at the final blow ruins it?

While I have never been a VF fan, I don't mind Yuki guest starring. because he is just that, a GUEST!

They are not ugly, they just updated the skins to not look like barbie dolls. I have played DoA since the first one, and I gotta say that their "anime" look just made them look plastic. The new models are better.

VTKC5194d ago

how is this game ruined by SEGA? FYI it was DOA who got permission to copy off SEGAs Virtua Fighter formula from the very beginning because boss of both games are "friends" in the industry.

A terrible character from Virtua Fighter? How did you come to that conclusion? Is it because when you pressed PPPPPPPP Akira Yuki only punches twice and you couldnt get a combo going?
If Virtua Fighter is one of the worst selling fighting games then how come it is still going? Did you know its on its 5th installment?! AND we are about to get another more updated version this year? Did you know Virtua Fighter was the first 3d fighter on the Segas Model 1 arcade board in the 16bit console generation? Yeah thats right, its been going that long.

Tainted Gene5192d ago

well said,

I remember on the oldddd 1UP podcast back in 2005-6 and one of the members interviewed Tomo Itagaki-san (founder/former head of Team Ninja).

The interviewer was a hardcore Virtua Fighter fan and he brought up points that DOA as a series was not a serious contender as Virtual Fighter or even Tekken, in terms or execution and technique.

Well, Itagaki-san being the laid back guy he is didn't take offense at all about that claim and preceded to school the interviewer in every concept of Virtua Fighter; from stating frame data, on-hit stun, block +/- after hit, etc. etc. Point being he new infinitely more about the core and higher concepts of the Virtua Fighter than the interviewer did and he related every aspect from DOA to Virtua and how it either met or surpassed it in core concept (hit data, frame input, etc.)

Needless to say the interviewer humbly admitted to taking DOA at just face value (the boobs) and not looking at the core of its gameplay.

So I will hold of judgement until I get DOA 5 in my hands. But so far it's looking promising and I can't wait.

Didn’t Expect To See You Here: 5 Influential Fighting Game Guest Characters

Trevor Walker said: Fighting games have always been able to simultaneously experiment and innovate while staying true to their roots in the best of ways. Mechanics change, crossovers take place, and evolution occurs. One of the best examples of all three can be seen in the coveted guest character.

Dead or Alive 5 - 10 Years of Free-to-Play

Dead or Alive 5 debuted 10 years ago today, ushering in a new era of AAA free-to-play gaming which has since become commonplace.

Glemt1337d ago

I really wish "free-to-play" got a different name. Because, yeah, you can play (part of) the game for free, but then they hypercharge you for DLC. Nearly 1000 credits to get all the DLC? Damn.

neutralgamer19921336d ago

Exactly give me a complete bundle

MadLad1336d ago

You get the fighting game.
They make you pay for the bikinis and booty shorts.

ApocalypseShadow1337d ago

Worse decision ever for the gamer. Over emphasis on fan service nonsense and micro transactions than making a great fighting game.

Use to love the game as a Virtual Fighter offshoot and competitor to VF and Tekken. Won't touch this current incarnation with a 10 foot pole. You know there was something wrong when they tried to charge for hair color.

spicelicka1336d ago

I wish it wouldn't be called "fan service" anymore. It's of service to no one, it's just exploiting our perverted nature blatantly, but then again people who fall for it can't really complain.

MadLad1336d ago

Exactly.
People complain about the dlc, but you get the actual game.
You're paying to look at their bodies.

Silly gameAr1336d ago

I have no problem whatsoever with the fanservice. My problem was the endless, expensive packs of pointless costumes that people loved to buy apparently.

lucian2291336d ago

Don't be a cry baby. Go play another game if you don't like fan service. Not every game needs to be woke trash.

DOA only fell because of overpriced dlc

Silly gameAr1336d ago

Not every comment needs to bring up woke when there is no wokeness going on. I wish they would ban the word woke from the face of the planet.

lucian2291335d ago (Edited 1335d ago )

You sound "woke" yourself, crying and wanting more cancel culture. That's the problem with you people, you don't like something and just want to cancel it.

Woke is now a day a synonym for social justice Warrior. It's people who cry that something is offensive and use cancel culture to destroy something they don't like...... Sorry but it applies when people complain about boobs

isarai1337d ago (Edited 1337d ago )

Do people really not realize there was a full release of this game? I've seen this pop up a few times and it always baffles me that people talk as if DOA5 was only F2P. I still have the Last Round disc that includes all characters, maps and most outfits

HeliosHex1336d ago

Truly the best in the series. If you only want one DOA this is the one to get right here.

Did Jonathan Holmes just say that the DOA games promote beating of women?

I (Robin Ek, TGG) was just informed that it appears as if Jonathan Holmes (writer for Nintendo Force and Destructoid) have stated that the DOA series promotes beating of women. So, here's my take on the matter.

SaveFerris3370d ago

Oh my days! That journalist must be constantly triggered by fighting games, but then I don't understand why he just doesn't quit if he can't handle the scripted actions of pixels.

TGG_overlord3370d ago

I would also like that add that real-life female fighters can take perfectly care of themselves inside and outside of the ring.

SaveFerris3370d ago

Absolutely. There are lots of women who take part in contact sports willingly because they enjoy it, and not just martial arts, but also rugby and rugby league.

naruga3370d ago (Edited 3370d ago )

destructoid ....a bunch of tragic people trying to relate themslves with gaming ....go close yourselves

Eonjay3369d ago

Even if he did say it, why should we be triggered?

Simon_the_sorcerer3370d ago

@SaveFerris " That journalist must be constantly triggered by fighting games"

Try searching for his name + this:

TGG_overlord3370d ago

@SaveFerris

"Absolutely. There are lots of women who take part in contact sports willingly because they enjoy it, and not just martial arts, but also rugby and rugby league."

- Yep, I like American Football more than Rugby though ;)

Simon_the_sorcerer3370d ago

I honestly like to watch female soccer more than the male version, as they tend to whine less when they get tackled and whatnot.

GrimReaperGamer3370d ago

Jonathan Holmes is a liberal snowflake. Quick Mr. Holmes aka Captain No Manhood call on the developers of DOA to make a safe space in game for these women. The amount of mentally unstable people on earth is hilarious, but also extremely scary at the same time.

TGG_overlord3370d ago (Edited 3370d ago )

@GrimReaperGamer "Jonathan Holmes is a liberal snowflake"

- That is correct. Nevertheless, I had no idea who that guy was at first though. However, the more I read and heard about him, the more I started to realize that his indeed a hardcore liberal snowflake.

"The amount of mentally unstable people on earth is hilarious, but also extremely scary at the same time."

- At first I thought that he was just fooling around, but his pretty dead serious about what he thinks and says...

Simon_the_sorcerer3370d ago

Ah, that "Holmes"...Then I get his rather stupid statement (s).

TGG_overlord3370d ago

That's the one, yes...I've been listening to some of his other interviews, and his like a more hardcore SJW version of Jack Thompson (imo).

annoyedgamer3370d ago

BUHAHA

Don't include women in fighting/shooting games = sexist because women are equal

Put women in = sexist because it promotes domestic violence

ShaunCameron3369d ago

Feminists and their enablers don't know what they want.

Atomicjuicer3369d ago

They just want to bitch and moan. Best ignored basically.
