DEAD OR ALIVE 5 Last Round

• Crimson returns as a playable stage. The time of day seems exactly the same from DoA2U and there is a lot more going on in the background. Later shots of the stage don't confirm it but the hidden room is likely going to return. Wonder what knocking someone into the TV will do this time around? And maybe that TV in the opening shot is the same one from the hidden room.
• Way more particle effects on everything from explosions to hitting the energy walls to slamming into the floor on the Lab
• New visual effect on Critical Burst
• Call me crazy but there seem to be far more penguins on Ends of the Earth
• New hairstyles for the girls
• Anti-aliasing making everything look far more clean
• New tag intros
• Costume contest entries showing up in the announcement trailer
• DangerZone returns but remember that super high bounce is likely after a KO, not just a normal stage mechanic
• Waiting for a translation for the Core Fighters slide

 

Who wants to bet this will be the last version of DOA5 before the next one is announced?

Tom Lee said that this IS the last DOA5 remake version.

 

IF more VF are added, then I would love to see some Vanessa-Mila team action. That team would be unstoppable! And also E I L E E N pllleeeeease!!

In my case it would be El Blaze, simply so people can see what a real Luchadore type character can do.

 

Fun facts about vf..

El Blaze is shimbori's favorite (hence La Mariposa's new main costume colors)

Aoi was requested the most .. runner ups were Kage Leifei and Eileen.

TNs VF inclusion was a tribute to the influence VF had on DOA all these years, hence included characters were all VF1 veterans...


I really want a DOAxVF

 

...I really want a DOAxVF

That's a real possibility I think, ironically enough due to the fact that Itagaki is no longer at T/K. Not sure if that's a sad commentary or not.

Honestly, I was skeptical at first. But now I think Itagaki leaving was the best thing that ever happened to TN as it allowed new creative ideas to surface and so far they've done great. Yes, they have struggled at first but right now they really seem to be shining.

Not to disrespect Itagaki in any way. One of the reasons I have a Wii U is simply because I can't wait to play Devil's Third. A creative mind like his needs his own company in order to do everything he wants and not be strangled by what the corporate heads want and I am really looking for more future titles from him and Valhalla game studios.

 

I hope Itagaki brings out a new Fighting Game IP... It would be sick
