I'm looking forward to seeing DOA5. I still think that that is the series Hayashi should be focusing on, since there is a hell of a lot more room for improvement compared to NG (which he has already proven to be incompetent toward).

Dead or Alive > Mortal Kombat, Tekken, a whole buncha shit

Dead or Alive's biggest asset is it stage design. It has THE best stage design out of any 3d fighter and natural fluidity that games like Tekken and Mortal Kombat just flat out lack.

The undulating and sloping stages were definitely cool and innovative at the time, but they ultimately proved to have a nasty effect on the balancing; certain stages dramatically favoring characters with lots of juggle options on a particular player side; dropping combos because of the ground level -- that sort of thing.  Flat and square is boring, but fair.  That's essentially AM2's post-VF3 philosophy in a nutshell.

And so instead of working to improve/balance this, AM2 just went back to VF2.   :-\

I'm glad they did.  VF4/5 fits a specific niche of technicality, precision and no-bullshit.  Randomness isn't necessarily a bad thing, but there's a place for it elsewhere.

This is the problem.  It doesn't have to be "randomness."  They didn't even try to work on it in an update or sequel.
Title: Re: Ninja Gaiden 3 and Dead or Alive 5
Post by: Robo on September 15, 2011, 03:25:22 PM
It's definitely true that they simply rolled it back, but it's inevitable that any variations in the stages will potentially effect different characters in different ways; even the size of the ring, which does vary in VF4/5, can amount to a potential advantage for particular characters. 

I think not making it a factor AT ALL was the right direction for that particular series.
Title: Re: Ninja Gaiden 3 and Dead or Alive 5
Post by: Himu on September 15, 2011, 03:39:36 PM
I disagree. I always considered the ring just as much a strategic point as countering and blocking in VF. Ring expansion is clearly the next step up for me.
Title: Re: Ninja Gaiden 3 and Dead or Alive 5
Post by: Robo on September 15, 2011, 03:43:11 PM
The difference is you have direct control over that stuff, whereas the stage is typically chosen by one person, and not necessarily even randomly.
Title: Re: Ninja Gaiden 3 and Dead or Alive 5
Post by: Himu on September 15, 2011, 03:57:20 PM
So? Characters are chosen by players too, and we are forced to learn their strengths and weaknesses as well.
Title: Re: Ninja Gaiden 3 and Dead or Alive 5
Post by: Robo on September 15, 2011, 04:27:36 PM
No, I mean, you're right; it's just a matter of philosophy, really, that I'm glad a particular series exists to encompass and differentiate itself with.  If you proposed that if you put Tekken/DOA stages with minimal sloping in VF5 that it would have no effect on the outcome of a match 98% of the time, I would have to agree with that, but in theory, the potential for an unearned advantage remains.
Title: Re: Ninja Gaiden 3 and Dead or Alive 5

VF3 isn't bad. Underrated imo
Title: Re: Ninja Gaiden 3 and Dead or Alive 5
Post by: originalz on September 15, 2011, 10:06:24 PM
Anyone who argues for flashy bullshit in the stages to get in the way and look "pretty" obviously doesn't understand competitive fighting games.  DOA will never really be a "serious" fighter, so they can throw whatever they want and it'll still be fun.  For a game like VF or Tekken which has a very strong competitive scene, the key is to make things balanced as possible.  It's hard enough to keep the characters balanced on a flat plane without worrying about stupid shit getting in the way.  All of that shit really hurt Tekken 4 and VF3, they were the lowest point in the series and much less popular than other releases.  I'd say the way that Tekken does it is pretty good, either having stages with walls or without them, adding to the variety and risk of getting a stage design that's favorable to your matchup, but still being a fairly uniform design so that you don't have to develop a strategy for every single stage pattern and worrying about getting the one stage that unfairly changes the matchup.

Hayashi says the neckwear was a gift from a fan, and he wore it at the show today to reference the return of NES Ninja Gaiden writer Masato Kato to the franchise, since Kato is back working on Ninja Gaiden 3. Kato is perhaps best known for writing SNES classic Chrono Trigger, and he's not the only NES throwback in NG3, since the new game also brings back movements like wall climbing from the old days.

■Itagaki's Daughter

Separate from Devil's Third, Impress mentioned that Tecmo Koei had announced Dead or Alive 5 earlier in the week. Of course, Dead or Alive is Itagaki's baby. Asked for his impression, Itagaki said, "It was announced? I still haven't seen it myself, so I'm not in a position to comment."

Impress pressed further and asked if as the series' father it feels a bit odd to see the series be continued on without him. Itagaki replied that while there are some creators like that, he is different. He views Dead or Alive as like having given a daughter off to be married. It would be bad for a father to always be protective of his daughter. He can only hope that she is given happiness.

I don't care what you folks have to say about MGS4 as a game, but the fact that it shows up in a thread about games that have almost nothing to do with it speaks to its influence.

That said, all I really liked about MGS4 was the improvements it made to the controls and systems of the third game, all of which are thrown out the window about halfway through the game in favor of cinematics. It's been said before; MGS4:VR Missions would be sooo good :(

"For Ninja Gaiden 3," Hayashi told me, "we wanted to focus on the act of cutting someone down, and what it's like to actually kill someone with a sword. Once you start lopping off limbs, your enemy goes from being a living thing that you're killing to just a thing."
 
And to hammer the point home (or katana the point home, if you prefer) that these are real human beings you're flipping out and killing, he continued. "When you're actually cutting into a person, and you feel them getting scared, and the blood is spraying right on you, you hear their dying breaths in your ear -- that's the kind of visceral violence we're going for in Ninja Gaiden 3." In the demo level I played, by the way, the enemy soldiers start pleading for their lives as soon as you begin attacking them.
 
At this point you might think, as I did, that you're going to start feeling guilty about cutting into all these bodies. That's ... kind of the idea. "Ryu Hayabusa is a dark hero," Hayashi explained. "If people want to take the easy way out or a cleaner way out -- not killing people -- that's not what the story is about and what Ryu Hayabusa is about. To be a dark hero, you have to do bad things in order to do good."

This isn't Ninja Guyver ffs.

Kane and Lynch did a good job of making you feel like a horrible monster, I guess.  It kind of worked since you knew that you were playing as evil people.  You would just go on a rampage and hear people pleading with you about how they have a family back home and etc...

Somehow I don't see Ninja Gaiden as a series which needs this layer of depth in combat.

NG3 was obviously going to be awful ever since the first footage came out at E3 or whatever. It's too bad, since that means there may never be another action game that has combat that's on par with NG2. Oh well, the genre's dead anyway.

I wish there was a new Rumble Roses  :-\. Akari Uchida is such a fucking rad dude.

First Rumble Roses was the best one though! How can you want to see another, if the trend continued downward?!

RRXX felt almost incomplete due to the lack of a story mode.  Plus the CAW sucked, especially for a wrasslin' game.  Would love to see a new one though.  The most fun I've had with wrestling games has been all the wacky Rumble Roses/Def Jam/Kinnikuman games.

http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/39975/The_world_has_changed_Team_Ninjas_Hayashi_on_more_realistic_respectful_games.php

Quote
"The old team was known for making games that just had two primary elements: Sex and violence," Hayashi tells Gamasutra. "It was very obvious. The new team, we want to take it to a new level -- to a direction that contains emotional experiences that can move players."
 
"Rather than just having violence for the sake of violence and cheap thrill, we wanted to give meaning to violence: Why does this happen? We want to link emotion to violence." With Ninja Gaiden 3, he says, "we wanted to make a game that is for mature audiences, that can make adults think."
 
With a longstanding action franchise, the team has room to flex those muscles and explore that goal. But Dead or Alive has always seemed a brand just as interested in showcasing sparsely-clad, busty pinup fighters as in providing a fighting game experience -- if not more so.
 
"We've always had the sex factor in the game; in the past, the female characters had to have big breasts, they had to have scanty dress," says Hayashi. "In DoA 5 especially, we're trying to focus on the real women that surround us; the voice of a female, the mannerisms. We are being realistic about it."
 
If Team Ninja's goal truly is to dignify the Dead or Alive franchise a bit, then it seems the team risks alienating some fans who may have just tuned in for the flesh parade. But Hayashi feels confident that longtime DoA players might have grown up some over the years.
 
"In the series up to now we focused on some kind of... Sports Illustrated [aesthetic]. like a magazine for high school kids, with women portrayed in that sense. But that's not what we want," he asserts.
 
"We want to show something that's more high class, that adult males of our generation could look at a woman [character] and be impressed with her as a woman, not just as a pin-up," he continues. "That's what we wanted to tell our fans."

I hope the game is short too. 6-8 hours would be nice. I don't think I'll want to play this more than 3 times, so the shorter the better.

The people who praise the Sigmas over the originals are of a certain different caliber in comparison with fans who have been with the franchise since the Xbox days.

As for DOA5, was cautiously expecting, saw Akira and hype began, saw new Ayane vs. Hitomi video and am now scared again. I really hope DOA5 turns out good as a fighter, if only to justify all those people who claim it was all Itagaki's fault that DOA never reached its full potential. But it's beginning to have the scent of the same problems that look to be plaguing NG3: visceral, STEEL ON BONE style over substance.

CLOSING COMMENTS
Ninja Gaiden 3 is a gash on the face of the franchise and one of the worst games the action genre has yet suffered. It has no consideration for its fans’ wants or what a new audience may have enjoyed. It’s a nightmare that’s as easy as it is uninteresting, and it abandons what used to work for awful new ideas that don’t work together. Under no circumstance should you ever waste your time on this self-indulgent and abysmal wreck.

Alma, Doku, Zedonius, Alexei, Volf, and Elizebet are in the game (Genshin should be as well). So even if the boss fights in the campaign suck, there should be some good ones in mission mode.


Might as well rehash some good boss fights if you can't make any yourself. Good work, Rehayashi.

I'm almost done with day 2 (playing on hard - which isn't hard at all). The game isn't too bad so far; the combat still flows pretty well and the dragon sword has a fairly large move list (lots of moves are locked until you get upgrades), but it still feels really limited and dumbed down in comparison to NG2. And I still can't believe that there's only one weapon.

I guess my first impressions are that this is Ninja Gaiden Lite. Or babby's first Ninja Gaiden. something like that.

the framerate is pretty shitty btw.

Post by: iconoclast on March 21, 2012, 01:01:03 PM
Just finished my Hard playthrough. Pretty much everything I said before still applies, but what really hurts this game is the complete lack of variety. On paper, there are lots of different enemies, but damn near all of them are humanoids, so most of the battles play out the same with some minor variations. There are a few fiend-type enemies, but you're fighting humans probably 90% of the time so they don't make much of a difference. And even that wouldn't be so bad if you had more than one god damn weapon. I'm already starting to get tired of the repetition, which is pretty ridiculous because the previous games can stay fun for hundreds of hours. 

The game is okay though. Basically, it's a decent action game, but a bad Ninja Gaiden game. I will say that I liked it more than I thought I would, but my expectations for this game couldn't have been any lower, so that's not really saying much at all. Gonna take a little break and start my Master Ninja playthrough next.


And the Hard difficulty achievement doesn't stack with the Normal and Easy achievements, but apparently you get the Easy achievement for clearing the game on Normal. Why. (I think you can reload the last checkpoint and lower the difficulty to get the achievements anyway, I just thought that was stupid enough to point out.)

Lol, NG3 is not 3/10 bad. People are just giving it stupidly low scores to try and make a point about how much the game has been dumbed down. It's still better than pretty much every western action game (which isn't really saying anything), and all of those generally get 7s or 8s (or 9s for GoW).

Actually, NG3 feels like a Japanese developer trying to make a western action game.


Regardless, DOA has a hell of a lot more room for improvement than Ninja Gaiden ever did. NG is the pinnacle of an entire genre, while DOA has always been a second-rate series. It probably won't ever be able to compete with the major 3D fighters, but there's still a lot they can do with it.

I always thought Dimensions was basically a port/remix of older DoA titles and it's not like they did much to it.  Sort of like DoA Sigma.  DoA 5 otoh is an actual new game, although it'll probably just be DoA4 Sigma with some new stuff (some good, some bad).

What's good about it?

I can't really come up with a list of positives, because the game is worse than the other Ninja Gaidens in pretty much every single way (this includes the story). But being a bad Ninja Gaiden doesn't make it a bad game - like I said, it's still a decent action game on its own because the combat is still fun. The lack of variety hurts the game a lot, but I still can't see any possible scale where a 3/10 would make any sense at all. Not even if you're only comparing to the absolute best games in the genre.

And I've worked on games IGN has given better scores than 3 that are in no way better than Ninja Gaiden.  It's a "hey gimme some hits" score.

Let's not forget the infamus Gaming-Age "C-" Ninja Gaiden score.

What's good about it?

I can't really come up with a list of positives, because the game is worse than the other Ninja Gaidens in pretty much every single way (this includes the story). But being a bad Ninja Gaiden doesn't make it a bad game - like I said, it's still a decent action game on its own because the combat is still fun. The lack of variety hurts the game a lot, but I still can't see any possible scale where a 3/10 would make any sense at all. Not even if you're only comparing to the absolute best games in the genre.

Certainly doesn't sound that great and you even say to play NG2 instead in your Youtube video summary.  So what would you score it?

You don't have all of the moves right at the start, there are two upgrades that unlock more (press back to see the move list). Although I wish you did have all of the moves at the start, because the YYY combo owns.

The slide only launches weakened enemies into the air as well (you can tell if they are weak if their clothes are covered in blood), which you can finish with a combo or a steel on bone attack. I like the slide in this game, I actually think it's the one good addition.

I don't mind the UT and ninpo changes either. UTs accumulate over the course of the battle, so you can't chain them back to back to back to demolish everything in sight - a lot of times it's best to save it for enemies that are hard to kill or have lots of health. Same goes for ninpo, except it has the bonus of healing you depending on how many enemies you kill with it. (there are no potions or health-increasing items)

Certainly doesn't sound that great and you even say to play NG2 instead in your Youtube video summary.  So what would you score it?

Right now, I'd probably give it a high 6 or a low 7. It's definitely not great, but I still need to play through mission mode before really judging it. The game will get a little better once the claws and scythe comes out tho, if only because it won't be as repetitive.

Lol at the guy begging for his life as you slowly walk up to him, then for all that there's no player decision. Such emotional depth! Game looks alright though, do they not beg for their lives on Master Ninja? Because that was one of the most off putting things for me in the previews I saw, soldiers were always begging for their lives before you sliced 'em up which felt really anti NG - i.e. even in the first stage on the lowest difficulty of NG2 you cut off dudes limbs and they'll keep coming at you to self detonate.

I've only seen the enemies beg for their lives a couple times now, between both of my playthroughs. I'm not sure if there's a way to trigger it or something, but it seems pretty rare to me. Maybe it happens more often on lower difficulties?

Lol at the guy begging for his life as you slowly walk up to him, then for all that there's no player decision.

But there is player decision! You can either hit X and kill him immediately, or you can wait for the X button to pop up on screen, telling you to kill him. lol.

The button-mashing/dynasty warriors comparisons that some reviews talk about are flat out wrong. Mindlessly mashing on hard and especially master ninja will get you grabbed and killed in an instant. In fact master ninja can be pretty annoying because so many moves are too risky or unsafe to use, which leaves you open to get hit or grabbed for 30-80% damage. Between this and Sigma 2, I'd love to know why Hayashi is so obsessed with grabs.

I also saw some review say that UTs are spammable now, unlike the previous games where they were rare commodities that required sacrifice. LOLWUT

Quote from: Giant Bomb
This review is for the X360 release of Ninja Gaiden 3.

*sigh* One of my issues with Giant Bomb is a huge X-box 360 bias in their reviewing. They don't give the other platforms a mention or review at times. I'd love to see Alex rip into the PS3 versions framerate issues (if TTP over on GAF is right about them) and the like. Oh, well, "console wars" aside:

Quote from: Giant Bomb
This game is far more Dynasty Warriors than Ninja Gaiden.

I'm not surprised since Ayane and Ryu were added to two separate Dynasty Warrior games as cameos.

Quote from: Giant Bomb
It's a senseless divergence that is even more maddening when you realize the game never bothers to explain any of it, and in fact seems to forget that it even happened. How the hell are you going to make me fight a skyscraper-sized witch demon for 15 minutes and then just completely forget to explain why?

To be fair: They never explained the bosses in NG2 either. It was mostly "here's a robo-fish that you have to shoot at the end of the second chapter, enjoy!" fare. NG1 attempted to have the bosses included in the story (Doku, Alma, ... uh... it's been years since I played NG1 but you get my point) to where they weren't suddenly out of the blue end-of-level fare.

Quote from: Giant Bomb
If anything, this multiplayer component just seems like an excuse to tack an online pass onto the game.

Wait... wait... wait... there's an online pass for this shit?  :lol Oh my god, what the hell is wrong with you Tecmo!?

Ouch at that review though. I still kinda want to play this if only because I want to see how bad they fucked it up.

Day 5 shows why this game should have been all COOP. Letting Momiji kill half of the 30 enemies in every encounter made the game so much more enjoyable and not hectic with explosions covering the screen every second. Too bad it was only for a brief time.

Yeah, I thought it was weird how the claws and scythe seem to have their moves in the game, but they're not available to you for some reason. Maybe they're still making the steel on bone/OT animations and bug testing  them and such? Or they're just them holding back cuz they're team ninja dog.

Also, this game actually made me want to play as a side character just so I can have some different moves for once. Gimme Momiji or the gold mask guy :(

Sometimes I try to do normal ground combos to break up the tedium, but I usually wind up paying for it. NG2's difficulty was much better than either NGS2 or this game as well. At least the exploding kunai can be reliably avoided with skill and strategy - in this game if you try a ground combo near a group of enemies that's more than two or three hits, you gon get got.

If you didn't think NG1 was mind blowing, then no: You aren't going to think Black is mind-blowing. Sigma took the same game, added some bosses (for the worse), added a new weapon (for the better), removed the intro cutscene (for the worse), removed mission mode for DLC-mission-mode (for the worse), and... I think... rebalanced(?) the game when Black had a perfect difficulty level for all difficulties.

Just finished my Master Ninja run. Got 2.39m karma and #1 on the leaderboard, but I'm sure that will be easy to beat once someone starts a MN run knowing how to use steel on bone properly (I didn't figure it out until day 6/7).

Game's alright anyway, I'd give it a 6/10. It's like a less crappy Ninja Blade, but still an awful Ninja Gaiden. Guess I'll try out mission mode next.

I'm watching your Master Ninja runs, and editing aside it's an impressive run so far. How bad is the targeting? I've heard complaints about Ryu suddenly "flailing away at air" and not the enemy when there is a group of them because the targeting suddenly freaks out or something. I'm sure that would be annoying on Master Ninja.
Title: Re: Ninja Garbage 3.0 and Dead or Alive 5 (plus that guy from Virtua Fighter)
Post by: iconoclast on March 25, 2012, 05:24:25 PM
The targeting can get annoying. There were plenty of times when I was trying to point to one specific enemy, but he would keep aiming for someone else. The OT misses downed enemies fairly often as well, which also sucks. But overall it's manageable. I don't think I ever had him attacking the air or anything, he was always going for someone. (if that did happen, I don't remember it anyway)


Also, I don't like mission mode so far. You earn points during each mission, which makes your ninja and weapon level up (like an RPG), which keeps unlocking more attacks and making them stronger and such. But that's just really annoying because you're basically stuck with a gimped character until you grind your way to max rank. There are also random 'contracts' in every mission, and completing them earns more points (stuff like do an izuna drop, do a UT, do a steel on bone, etc.), but those can be kinda annoying too because activating a steel on bone with the slide combo (which I haven't unlocked yet) is left to random chance. And the missions are too long.

I also don't like how they seem to be designed around co-op. But at least you can choose to play solo, unlike Sigma 2. I guess it remains to be seen if the later missions are even possible to complete by yourself.

Eh, the AI in Sigma 2's co-op wasn't too bad. They could die above Normal, sure, but at least they attempted to revive you. Can't say the same for human players on Master Ninja.  ::)

The major issue with Sigma 2's co-op mission mode is the fact it is broken unless you glitch the hell out of it the four "Greater Fiends" Master Ninja mode is basically one person taking on two people while Alexia is trolled by Rachel TWIRLTWIRLTWIRLTWIRL dodging to glitch her out in an aggro attempt to prevent her from going after Ryu.

I guess I'll have to pick the game up when it's cheap and see how bad the targeting is. Then again I've got to complete Sigma 2 on Warrior and Master Ninja and finish the Master Ninja level co-op to say I did but my PS3 that has a save file with my progress for those went under and I don't have the heart to re-wade into mission mode and stuff to redo it on the new PS3. :/

And I'm kinda hoping a Sigma 3 happens and fixes the issues NG3 currently has.

Mission Mode is about as bad as Sigma 2's (if not worse, because now it has an RPG system that forces you to grind in order to have a character that isn't completely gimped). The Acolyte, Mentor, and Leader missions are all solo-able, as are at least a few of the Master Ninja trials, but everything else is pretty much impossible unless you're playing co-op. And the competitive multiplayer is comically bad. Dunno if I'll bother trying to find a partner who wants to grind through these awful missions.

I really wish Hayashi would stop making action games. The guy is completely incompetent.

So are they going to end up having the entire VF cast or something and making it VF v DoA?  Because at first it was just a cameo with Akira and maybe someone else.  Now they're up to about a quarter of the VF roster present.  Might as well just title the game VF v DoA.

Crapcom's tidal wave of Street Fighter releases was more likely the culprit for SFxT's mediocre sales.  Tekken Tag still carries a lot of value in its name—the first game is typically cited as most folk's favorite Tekken.  I don't expect it'll have a problem sales-wise.  Plus, only one of these games has Snoop Dogg.

Well, that along with the gems and other bullshit that takes "skill" out of the "so-pro" gameplay.

I should probably try Street vs T already but I really have no interest in the T characters or gem gameplay at all.

Even if you don't like a character in Tekken, you may like him/her in SFxTK-- the games don't play the same.

The only real problem with the gems right now is the AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL autoblock gem.  It's fucked up and needs to be addressed, STAT- people are hoping this will happen with the balance patch coming next week.

But there's no doubt that SFxTK is a mess right now.  Capcom botched a number of things with it and they're paying for it.  Personally I've noticed that most people on my friends lists have already gone back to SSF4- and there is renewed interest in Tekken 6 because of Tag 2 coming out.

Hey, I like Rock Paper Scissors and titties.  :'( I even bought Rock Paper Scissors and Titties Xtreme Beach Volleyball.  :'(

Well, the gems and "no skill" bit is mostly the SRKtards. I mean they throw the same shit at Smash Brothers due to the items being intended (but unlike SFvsT can be turned off there) in gameplay, which makes a logical point if you're wanting an "even balance" skill thing.

But I'm talking out my ass since I haven't given SF vs T the time of day after hearing of the gem system and them wanting to make you pay for more gems/better gems to use.

I mean I guess it wasn't really that different then other DoAs. They kind of just took everyone arcade mode on strung it together. Meaning most of the characters are pretty stupid and pointless, but the Ninja characters have a bit more story. It was pretty enjoyable in how dumb it was. Plus the game looks nice and I like the use of lots of music from DOA4, a game I apparently put more then 100hrs in.

Tried this on both systems...didn't see much of a difference. 

The netcode is not as bad as some have reported, but some matches were definitely pretty bad.  Way more good connections, however, so it's not as big a concern.

The game doesn't really feel all that new to me and isn't as exciting as Tekken Tag Tournament 2 has been- and I say this as someone who has generally preferred DOA in the past.  But I'm also exhausted from work and need to spend more time with it.

What they need to patch ASAP are the freezing issues.  The game locked up on me, several times, on both platforms.  No excuse for that.

And yup...boobs.  They're as ridiculous as ever.  Jiggly and now sweaty too.  They really did spend a lot of time on those physics!   :lol

Cross-posting from elsewhere:

The CE is much bigger than I expected!

(http://i.imgur.com/mKtUdl.jpg)

Quote from: originalz
How does this game play compared to the older ones?  There's a new director and the new Ninja Gaiden game sucked so I'm kind of wary.  It seems like they didn't change anything then?  Always seemed like kind of a pointless sequel, and with TTT2 just out I'm not in any real rush to pick up another fighter.

It feels very similar to DOA4, but plays a bit slower.  This may be due to the added frames of animation.  The biggest noticeable game play additions are the power blow system (basically the DOA equivalent of a super move) and the revised side-step system...as in you can actually side-step now, although it's kind of slow.

I wouldn't call the game a pointless sequel...it's been almost seven years since DOA4 came out on 360 and 11 years since a DOA fighting game was on the Playstation platform.  Even with its problems, the online play is better than DOA4's.  Plus you have lots of new moves, a much better art style, and the typical array of balance changes.  Rig and Mila don't do much for me as new characters, however, and the added VF characters just feels lazy to me.  I would have preferred to have seen three new characters in their places.

Also you have to actually unlock stuff the old-school way- Akira, Sarah, and Pai must be unlocked by playing through the story mode and/or obtaining a certain number of titles.  Ditto for the playable boss.  Outfits also have to be unlocked.  Almost all of them can be obtained by beating the arcade mode multiple times with each character, but at least three of the females (Tina, Lisa, and Christie) have "legendary" swimsuit outfits that have to be earned by clearing some of the modes of the legendary difficulty.  You have to unlock master difficulty before legendary becomes available, too.  I tried the hardest difficulty available and by stage four was getting destroyed by the CPU.  It countered fucking EVERYTHING.   :lol

But yeah, right now I think TTT2 is the better game.  It just offers way, way more content and the roster depth is unmatched by any other 3D fighting game.  TTT2's online play is also far better and easily up there with Arc System Works' games as the best netcode available in any fighting game. 

DOA5 also has zero customization options available and feels outdated in that regard.

Post by: Rahxephon91 on September 26, 2012, 11:45:15 AM
Yeah the CE is pretty nice.

While I can't argue with you on any technical merit since I don't know anything about fighting games. I'll just talk about the game on face value.

The games additions are pretty welcome. The games equivalent of supers plays well with the environmental aspects of DoA, so the game kind of has it's own spin on supers. The fact that using then to push a player into certain danger zones adds some more thought into playing. It's nothing special, but it's pretty cool and does more for me then SC5's super addition.

The two new characters don't offend, but don't do anything fantastic. Rig seems like he may be fun to play though. Mila I have no thoughts on, she's pretty cute.

Honestly for me the biggest appeal are the new character designs. They just look fantastic. I don't miss the previous games look at all. And honestly I think the designs don't go too crazy, unless the character themsves are crazy. All the costume designs are restrained and fit the characters. They just look stylish.

You say that lack if character custimization is outdated, but I say god thank you. I've hated that about recent Tekken games. I like nicley designed costumes by an actual designer. I get the appeal of custimization. Having your own personal touch is cool. But for me the characters always look stupid. I'm glad DoA has yet to follow Tekken down that route.

Anyway, it's just a fun game, full of cheese, cheesecake, and accessible gameplay. It's a DoA game. I guess this is probably the most technical one, but I thought 4 was also pretty solid. But I'm no expert here. It dosent reinvit itself really beyond its designs, but I really like DoA and damn it's been awhile since 4(a game that still looks great).

Honestly for me, DoA is my favorite 3d fighting series and well I don't see that changing.

After more play time I'm enjoying the game a lot more, but it clearly feels rushed and I wish they delayed it for another 3-6 months to polish it up.

I spent most of my time playing the 360 version.  Started story mode (which is essentially just cut scenes > training fights > more cut scenes like the 3DS DOA Dimensions story mode) and unlocked Akira and Sarah, who have no new dialog and just repeat lines from VF5.  :lol: 

Then I popped the PS3 version in and found that it looked noticeably better.  The image was cleaner and the colors popped a bit more.  However, the game froze on me multiple times and then froze for several seconds, multiple times, in matches...when playing offline.

Turns out the throwdown option was the culprit.  I had it off on 360 and don't remember even having to turn it off in the first place, but once I disabled it the PS3 version ran smoothly.

Fans 'wanted sexualised characters' in Dead or Alive 5, claims director
"There's nothing wrong with having beautiful characters"

By Christine Caruana for CVG Australia

When Dead or Alive 5 was announced, it was said it would stay true to its roots, but would sport "a new, more mature, look." After fan feedback, we can scrap that last bit it.

The Dead or Alive series is probably best known for its female fighter's ample bosom. When director Yohei Shimbori, was told to tone down the sexual aspect, it was thought that the game would step away from that, and Dead or Alive 5 would still be a solid fighting game, but perhaps with a little less bounce.

A less sexualised Dead or Alive game was short lived though. Speaking to Gamasutra, Shimbori said that they "actually got a lot of feedback from people who were playing it, saying, 'We want bigger breasts. Make the characters more like that.' That was kind of surprising." Shimbori explains that as a director he tries to keep an open mind and really listen to what the fans want, so that is what Team Ninja did.

Ignoring the feedback "to tone down the sexiness of the game, and of the characters," Dead or Alive 5 has all the big breasted women the fans apparently want. Shimbori explains that there is a lot of power in "having a series behind you," and "there are existing fans out there, and you have to think about the people who have supported the series for so long, and you want to make sure that the game that you make appeals to them first, and satisfies those fans first."

Shimbori goes on to say that there is "still room for having sexualised aspects...If you have a solid fighting game system there, there's nothing wrong with having beautiful characters as a layer on top of that - that's another layer of entertainment that there's a need for. If there wasn't a need for it, people wouldn't have responded to the alpha demo like they did, and send us feedback."
http://www.computerandvideogames.com/370540/fans-wanted-sexualised-characters-in-dead-or-alive-5-claims-director/

I think a lot of the (default) outfits have been toned-down compared to the earlier games, but they went overboard with the breast size and jiggle physics.   It's more ridiculous than ever before.   :lol

Picked up the guide from Amazon.  It seems...OK.  Looks like it will come in handy for getting all the bonus missions in the story mode cleared, too.

I'm working towards getting the Legendary difficulty unlocked, but the CPU at higher difficulty settings is insanely, insanely cheap.  It was countering fucking EVERYTHING.

Beat Arcade Mode Legend difficulty, without continuing, with Tina by using a found-exploit: Just do back+punch+kick, with down+throw to follow-up.  Using rising kicks when getting up.

That's it...with that simple tactic, I destroyed the CPU on the hardest difficulty.   :lol

Apparently you can do this with other characters, so it won't be so bad getting Tina and Christie's hidden costumes.  Legend 100-man survival still seems like it's gonna be hell.

Also found that you CAN turn on an-game move list that shows what you can do after each button press, just like in the 3DS DOA Dimensions.  Awesome that this is in.

It looks like they're almost all old school DOA1 costumes and more VF5 outfits for the guest characters.  They gave one of Tina's DOA1 outfits to Mila.  Christie is the exception with her slut-leather jacket/pants/no shirt n' bra outfit back.

Seeing as how it includes Christie's DOA4 costume and skin tight DOA1 costumes. The answer is yes.

The game got patched today; online play is supposed to be much-improved and settings actually SAVE now.

Also outfit DLC #2 pack revealed.  I think this drops tomorrow...don't know if it's free:

More game balances/online patches would be nice.  Game already seems kinda dead though.

DLC set five came out this week. 

Way more importantly, a huge patch is coming!

http://www.freestepdodge.com/threads/team-ninja-details-next-upcoming-patch-for-dead-or-alive-5.2090/

Quote
A few short moments ago, director Yohei Shimbori tweeted a flurry of tweets with info on the next upcoming patch for Dead or Alive 5, shedding light on what we can expect.

He offers up some exciting details on what we can look forward to, but did not confirm an exact date as to when the next patch will be rolling out. Nonetheless, some pretty nifty stuff awaits.

Here are the patch details that Shimbori noted:

   
Quote
-[D-YS] I've finally had a chance to check out a few of the tweaks, so here are a few bits of info about the next patch.

    -[D-YS] First, it looks like we can clear up the huge lag that happened on some stages for online fights.

    -[D-YS] Now you should be able to fight without worrying about what stage you're on.

    -[D-YS] Next, you'll be able to view opponent information before the start of a ranked match.

    -[D-YS] You'll see their name, connection speed, grade, etc. all before you actually accept the fight

    -[D-YS] And good news for IPL, NEC, Season's Beatings, DID and all the other tournaments out there! We're adding an Exhibition Mode!

    -[D-YS] You can unlock all the characters, (almost) all costumes, and all stages for offline versus matches

    -[D-YS] There's still more in the works, but I'm only gonna talk about what I've actually seen myself. So stay tuned for more updates!

Really crappy quality video of DOA5+ in action:

Still pretty impressive despite the video quality.

Looks like there's rosters spaces for 22 characters (DOA5 has 24)- Maybe the VF characters are being removed, although there's three of them...

Team Ninja trademark bullshots.  Confirms that the game will have more outfits and looks to have the console DLC outfits too.  More importantly, cross-play online with the PS3 version has been confirmed!  You can use the same PS3 save data, too- is this is a sign that the PS3 version is going to receive an update?

Dead or Alive 5 is receiving a “ver. 1.03” patch, which will allow you to upload match replays from the game directly to the Internet. The Xbox 360 version will allow for Facebook uploading, while the PlayStation 3 version will allow for both Facebook and YouTube. To demonstrate the feature, Team Ninja uploaded this video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRKMMvtZzck

Director, Yohei Shimbori, says that other tweaks to the game are to be expected in the ver. 1.03 patch as well, but Team Ninja haven’t released a full patch list yet.

The big patch is hitting PS3 next Thursday and 360 the week after that.

LOTS of big changes to moves, health, and balancing, plus they are adding the Zack Island stage from the upcoming Vita version as a free download!  They also cite additional improvements to the online play.

http://teamninja-studio.com/doa5/us/patch/0116a.html

Tina/Lisa/Christie's legendary costumes can also now be unlocked by fighting a set number of ranked matches.  200 ranked battles (with any combination of characters) gets you Lisa's outfit.  That's a lot of time spent in ranked, but still way better than the ridiculous survival mode requirement from before.

Online is definitely better now.  I really like that they show you your opponent's stats and connection quality before you accept a match in ranked now.

TOO BAD NOBODY IS PLAYING RANKED!   :lol :-\

Doesn't really matter, I guess- with the new DLC comes Zack Island (awesome stage) and another round of bikini outfits, which happens to include re-colored versions of Tina/Christie/Lisa's legendary dental-floss bikini costumes.  Nobody is going to bother trying to get them unlocked now.

An issue with stagger escapes (a.k.a. slow escapes) during Critical has been discovered in the Ver.1.03 patch for PS3, released 1/22. #DOA5
As a result, we have halted the Xbox 360 update originally scheduled for January 29, 2013. #DOA5
We plan to release a corrected update for both PS3 and Xbox 360 systems sometime in February. #DOA5

At least they caught it and are going to releasing a fixed version soon enough.  *coughcoughcapcomcoughmajorrolentoglitchcoughnotfixedformonthscough*

Team Ninja have released a version 1.03A patch for Dead or Alive 5 on the PlayStation 3, with an Xbox 360 version of the patch to follow later this month. One of the changes in 1.03A is that Team Ninja have disabled stagger escapes for certain Criticals, in order to make Tag Mode better suited to aggressive play. Here are some of the new combos you can pull off in Tag Mode now:

PS3 if you're going for cross-buy/cross-play. Otherwise either version.

thisismyusername, it's not my video!  I usually turn off danger zones whenever I get to choose the stage.

Where the fuck is the 360 patch

Nobody knows.  They just said February for the update...and here's the PS3 patch, but nothing for 360!   :-\  It seems to have killed online play.  I booted up the 360 version last night and there were two lobbies with a few people in each.  But the patch should get a bunch of people back...worked for PS3.

Which is the better version of DoA5 btw?  I really liked DoA4 but never picked up 5 since I hardly play fighting games anymore.  Might grab it when it's cheap though.

What thisismyusername said- virtually the same game on both platforms, but PS3 has the cross-buy/save stuff with the upcoming Vita version.  PS3 also lets you upload replay videos to Youtube...360 does not for whatever reason.

I really wish they concentrated more on regular outfits more. Most of the naughty ones really suck.

At least make some new ones...the swimsuit pack has recolors of outfits already available (the "legendary" suits for Tina, Christie, and Lisa) and they're releasing pics of upcoming outfits that will be out when DOA5+ hits...including another recolor of the same swimsuit for Christie.   :lol 

The swimsuits totally fit the Zack Island stage and look completely out of place elsewhere.

Famitsu confirms that DOA5 Ultimate will be coming out on PS3 and 360.  "New" characters will be added, including Momiji from Ninja Gaiden. 

This is way too quick after DOA5's release to be announcing another game.  But I guess it worked for UMvC3.

UMVC3 was great!  It's the vanilla version that shouldn't exist.

i'll bet my nuts this is way less substantial, but that people will be more accepting of it because it's not teh evil capcom and it's not really about the fighting anyway.   There might be hell if the thousands of dollars worth of DLC costumes are free on the disc.

I don't mean sales as much as I mean the community.  People bitched about UMvC3 but they all ended up buying it.  DOA already has a small community to begin with and this is definitely going to lose some people.

I also take it that this means that Vita doesn't get this upgrade.  Kind of funny given how recent that port is.  Online was already...DOA...so I guess this is the final nail in the coffin.  Add lobbies next time, Team Ninja.  Who the fuck thought that was a good idea to leave out, especially with cross-play?

Anyway, pics are up at Famitsu.  Fall release so at least it will be about one year later.

The stage is taken right from Ninja Gaiden 2.   :lol

They've put everything else on Vita, I imagine this will make it eventually?   And aren't the games' online systems tied together? 



-------------marvel tangent------------

People will be more accepting of it because DoA sells anywhere between 1-5% of what MvC/SF4 did. 

Capcom didn't really get away clean with UMvC though.  It stopped regular MvC3 sales momentum dead, and really failed to sell anywhere near as well as the more staggered Super SF4 did.


they've commented that UMVC3 continues to sell at some unspecified steady pace,  probably thanks to the competitive community that Marvel probably doesn't allow them to legally acknowledge.   

My one super nerd gaming wish is to get the full MVC3 development story from Seth Killian.  Everything from what iterations they did and what was taken out to the drama like how much Marvel intervened and restricted the game, how much was it Capcom's handling, how much the Earthquake affected it...all that.   I think the popular theory (well, the one that isn't just "lol capcom") is that they rushed the game out at first to make up for a bad quarter, then the Earthquake happened, then they pushed out Ultimate because their DLC scheduling got fucked up by the quake.   I mean, 6 months is really weird for that huge of an update, even by Capcom standards.

Lol Momiji doesn't fit at all.

Something was definitely up with Marvel- it was odd that they released a single alternate outfit/look pack and nothing else ever got released.

They've put everything else on Vita, I imagine this will make it eventually?   And aren't the games' online systems tied together?

This seems to be a new game and not a DLC add-on, so that doesn't seem likely.  Plus I believe Oscar mentioned before that DOA5+ sales' were pretty dismal.

Lol Momiji doesn't fit at all.

Is it even worth it?  Might as well hold onto it if you think you're gonna be playing it before the fall.

I still have the 360 version. Might as well trade it in now, for whatever. Plus between the two versions I've spent tons of time on the game and I'm DoAed out. I'm also not into the competitive scene(is there one for DoA?) so I'll be fine until fall.

I have it on all three systems.  Would ditch the PS3 version but the Vita version doesn't have lobbies so I'm holding onto it for that. 

The game does have a small competitive scene and Team Ninja has put up cash prizes at some of the bigger tournaments.  I usually find the matches pretty boring to watch.

The game's inspiration:

Tecmo was in dire straits and would've shut down if DoA1 wasn't a success.

The original title of the game was "Sex and Violence"

Hayabusa throwing people up bouncing them from a roof, into an Izuna Drop 90% health supah-slam x 3.

So competitive! *yawn* It's why I laugh at freestepdodge wanting a more competitive game, Team Ninja can't even balance moves and factors right now for longer games and some comebacks. What makes them think buffing/nerfing some characters is going to help?

DOA5 Ultimate is going to be coming to PS3 in both regular retail and free-to-play versions, similar to what Tecmo did with the DOA5+ Vita demo- you'll be able to play a locked version of the full game, with four playable characters, online against other players, and can pay to unlock additional characters/modes if you don't want to buy the full retail release, which Amazon is listing for $39.99.

The "new" characters are Leon, Ein, Jacky from VF, Momoji from NG, and Rachel from NG.

E3 Trailer.

Is it me or does Rachel and Momiji still look like they're holding their weapons from Ninja Gaiden invisibly in DOA?

I mean it isn't a big deal but it's a little weird.

Looks like it has tons of  new costumes. Pretty cool. Probably what the original release should have been.

Definitely should've been. It's adding two character that they removed for no reason outside of "didn't fit the story."  ::)

They're really going all-out with this game.  Wish the original was like this and hope the online play is improved.
