It looks great, but I still find it difficult to watch the gameplay.

Wow, yet another Aoi clone. First Asuka, now this. I guess AM2 should be flattered.

 

The locales look amazing! I'm impressed Tecmo raises the bar every version.

If only the game engine improved. /versus/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

 

As usual, expect great graphics, retarded gameplay.

My two favorite DOA gameplay moments:

I got hit with a punch. Now my character looks like he is too drunk to stand. I cannot block, but I can still counter...

and

Oh, I got hit very hard. I am slowly falling to the ground unless... I reverse, then I can still stand.

 

You forgot Van.

Apparently these pictures are from Xbox360.

I forgot about the Vanessa thing. The game looks amazing though. Is this going to be on Xbox live?

I was thinking the same thing. I like this game and all but I was thinking wow that looks like Aoi. I hope VF comes to the Xbox 360. Imagine a VF with grapics on par (at least) with DOA. /versus/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

 

The game looks great but it doesn't seem to look that much better than DOAU for some reason, oh well looks nice nonetheless. Hopefully it plays just as good as it looks this time around.

 

I think that has to do with the character models. They still have that plastic, cartoony look to them, especially the girls. Itagaki insists on using that style for the characters, so it probably won't change any time soon. If they switched to a more realistic looking character design it might showcase the graphics a little more, but I still don't think it would look light-years ahead of DOA3.

It's going to be very hard for these newer systems to outperform the current generation (graphics-wise) since the current generation looks so good already.

 

I was thinking the same way until I saw some of the Madden 06 screenshots and they kinda impressed me. Not as much as PS madden to PS2 Madden I'll admit but you still see a big improvement. But you're right it's going to be tough to outperform the current generation consoles.

 

I don't think that it will matter if VF5 comes to 360 or ps3. It will look great on either one.

Between DOA4 and VF5, it will come down to gameplay and there's no comparison in that department.

It seems like Team Ninja tries to be different from AM2 to the point that their games don't really function as fighting games. DOA could be great if they added dodging and dashing, balanced the characters, toned down the combos and counters, put more of a penalty on blocked moves, and got rid of some of those ridiculous staggers.

I don't think they will do those things.

Has anybody heard about any proposed changes to the game engine? I'd like to know.

DOA1 on PS was my first 3d fighter and it led to my playing VF3. I have a certain affection for DOA which makes it all the more painful that game is so sucky nowadays.

 

fuck care if this game will be good or not, its like when capcom released streetfighter THE MOVIE. you know its gonna be shit but it will have the fun factor of an old mortal kombat game.

im gonna get it. and the 360. but thats cuz im a console whore.

Have you seen the vids!!! She looks like Aoi, but fights like Akira...hot shit..

 

The vids are great, but the graphics don't seem like a huge leap over the previous game and I'm interested in what the gameplay differences will be. At one point in the video someone gets knocked into the street and is hit by a car, so I guess that's new. It seems like "DOA3.5" running on "Xbox 1.5" right now, but maybe things will be different at launch. This game probably won't convert me into a DOA fan (especially if the fighting engine is the same), but I like the Xbox live support.

 

True that the graphics aren't a HUGE leap over DOA3, but they are still pretty damn kickass. Now if VF5 will look like this, we'll definitely have a larger fanbase when those graphics whores shift over.

 

I think the only way that they would improve the graphics if they would finally do away with the whole plastic doll look and go for a more realistic look.

 

Hope the getting hit by the car thing is only cinematic. Would be messd up if I'm in a middle of a combo and get hit by one and lose the round. That stage would have to be banned lol.

 

DOA player to VFer conversion

Even if VF5 looks the best (and it better) I do not know how much we want to convert the DOA simpletons to VF. I play DOA online because I lack competition where I live. These DOA guys are some of the dumbest fuckers you'd ever want to not meet. I finally turned the voice sound off so I would no longer have to suffer the insipid banter of the likes of CUMONYERFACE or ANALDEESTROYER.

 

Re: DOA player to VFer conversion

that's the online world I guess...

I still remember the first day I went online with my Lei Fang and people were saying she was cheap 'cuz, and I qoute, "Her blocking is too good". Yes folks it wasn't me it was her. I've heard scrubby shit in SFAE online as well. I wonder how these people would react to losing by ring out. /versus/images/graemlins/grin.gif
