    What if one day in the future, there was a DOA with physics almost identical to real life (except when it comes to fantasy elements, of course). Would that make for a better fighting game, or worse fighting game? lol

    I guess then it wouldn't be a fighting game, but a fight simulation. But then again, is it still a simulation if you can do things not possible in the thing you're simulating?

    Nearly two years later and I'm thinking "what happened with DOA6, again? Oh yeah.. the rent-a-hair-colour debacle... did that really happen?" I had to go back to old articles to remind myself about it, because it's just so ridiculous. Pay to change it from black to brown, then pay again if you want to change it back to default black. I mean, holy hell, what were they thinking?

    Other FGs totally had the option to do the hair color swap for a long while now, kept it as the norm considering without having to use as leverage to make a salespoint. If DOA for some odd reason had to it, either 1) they are still trying to find multiple ways to sneak wallets, or 2) the game was not fully supported on the budget so they have to find ways to cover the development loss. Maybe both, who knows really.

    Still, even from an entirely business perspective, there were probably better and smarter ways to further monetize the game that wouldn't have so obviously ruined their own rep.

    Yeah exactly what I had in mind. I still firmly believe there are better alternatives.

    Personally, I would say to make a great product regardless if not that many people play DOA and to take risks to improve QoL even if the community is small, but I know KT and devs outside DOA would suck their teeth if they hear this lol.

    So sad I missed out on this piece of Japanese gaming history... :(

    Closest thing I've experienced is London, UK's Trocadero, which closed in 2014.

    I hope there's a resurgence when the pandemic is finally over.

    Koei and Tecmo go without even a single piece of Mii costume gear.. what's that about? lol. Even doomguy made it in before the end.

    Yuri from Fatal frame is an assist trophy if that counts for anything

    and if ya really want to stretch Byleth is from Fire Emblem: Three Houses which was co-developed by a subdivision of KoeiTecmo :/

    Oh yeah, there was a Fatal Frame assist trophy.

    The Fatal Frame trophy I could be able to accept, but that was obviously because of the Nintendo connection. Can't say it's nothing though.
    inochinagi
    Wow, it's almost like I'm there.


    Koei Tecmo's booth is at around 8m20s, and you can see KOF XV's booth at various points.

    Great visual quality. It's like a First Person Life Simulator. Can't wait to finally check out cons again this Fall.

    Ah, Soleil, they were the team behind that excellent Samurai Jack game, which also had ex Team Ninja devs working on it, guess ill be keeping an eye on this game

    New Gungrave is looking pretty damn awesome (also coming to XOX, XSX, and PC)


    Not a fan of gore, but the gameplay moments look great. I could probably handle a bit of badguy gore for it. I'm fine with it in the NG series.

    Plus it has chara designs from the Trigun creator, the Sakura Wars character designer, and Ikumi Nakamura.

    Yeah, it's good to see the series back in full force and faithful to the previous games. So many neglected series wish they could get this treatment.

    I'm almost hoping it is intentional, because that would be genius. I've rewatched this more than a dozen times and I'm still laughing. The buildup, the music choice, the way everyone just stays seriously quiet and follows him, ignoring Neon completely, the transition outside, lmao. Perfect. Funnier than anything I've seen in a comedy movie made in the past decade at least.

    Yeah this is great actually lel. It's giving me more reasons to pick up the game day one as the edge is too damn funny, but that's what makes it so good because it's hilarious and just weirdly well done lol

    I thought about getting the game, but now it's probably guaranteed i'm getting it. It's ironically refreshing than the typical kawaii-desu or making the game too uwu.

    They feel more at home on Switch, imo, but good to see them available to more people now. Oh, forgot that the Steam Deck is coming. Should be good for that. Looks like they didn't add online play to these though...? That's too bad.

    Nah, don't need a Steam version. I'm better off with the Switch. Plus, I don't feel like going through the panel process for the unlockable characters again.

    It's nice to see you are still around dude. I remembered your twitter bio the other day, when I deleted my main reddit account lol.

    Always nice to see that punyuu~ face still around here too, lol. I didn't really go anywhere tbh, I was just lurking for pretty much a year (still playing DOA tho). Not intentionally, it's just sometimes I get logged out and just don't log in again for a long time unless something provokes me, like posting the TGS news when I saw no one else was.

    If anyone's interested in seeing a casual FG enthusiast's reactions to playing DOA4 for the first time in 2021:


    refreshing to see someone react to a DOA with just pure joy (except the total befuddlement at Kasumi's ending, that's pretty typical, lol)
