Last Round - First Impressions

[Tyaren]

Wait, did you update through Core Fighters or did you buy the X360 version of it? Because I'm gonna be so pissed if I buy the $30 version and I STILL gotta buy the both of them...

I bought nothing, just downloaded the patch for my old retail version of Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate.

If they have another costume contest, I may toss my hat in despite my poor drawing skills

Do it!

I doubt they will, but if they ever do, DO IT! I'd probably just resubmit my old design with the new art/adjustments (my avatar).

Eliot's new outfit seems to have 4 pairs of underwear since under "detail" it goes up to D. Haven't checked it since it's hard to get upskirts of him

Yeah while in spectate my hand "slipped" and Eliot's underwear was just grey without a union jack design so I don't know if it has one.

Anyone else think that Honoka is too damn fast?

Gotta keep in mind his union jack ones are grey in the front so that coulda been it.

Yes. 9f P and 11f mid P? Why did she need these???

 

[Old Bear]

I have only been able to play the PS 3 version but I must say I love the new song they added Ryu's determination. Also Bayman's and Leon's costumes are cool.

 

[Jadeinchains]

I wonder If there are any hairstyles that have not been shown yet?

If anyone finds new hairstyles they should post pics.

So, I just updated my Xbox360 version of DOA5U to Last Round, yaaay!! Everything worked well, nothing was deleted. Having Last Round on Xbox360 will make the wait for the PS4 version on Friday A LOT easier. Thanks for that! u.U
Last Round looks and plays the exact same as DOA5U on Xbox360. No graphical update here and the gameplay patches aren't noticable to me. But I'm more of a casual DOA player anyway...
What is really nice: Along with the free patch you get all 31 fan-made costumes (you just have to unlock them though) you also get new DOA1 music pieces and also the new tag teams and poses. Honoka, Raidou and (if you haven't bought them already) Phase 4, Nyotengu and Marie Rose are locked though. But they appear as opponents in the different fighting modes, which is cool. I don't know, if it was like that in DOA5U too, as I owned all DLC characters.
I already unlocked some of the contest costumes (Eliot first of course! ) and I unfortunately have to say, that the bad textures on almost all of them dampened my mood a little. Some look bad up close. Hayate for example is just a pixelated mess. And I was so looking forward to him... The costumes are all modeled with great detail though and mostly stay perfectly true to their original design. The most beautiful, that I unlocked so far, are in my opinion Kasumi (has some not so great textures too), Akira (has beautiful textures!) and Marie Rose.

Trust me, when you play the PS4 version you will notice the texture difference, Kasu's Kimono looks SOOO much better IMO than on PS3

Okaaaaay. So this has probably been discussed to death but I'm confused here. My save transferred over fine, but NONE of my DLC is there. When I go to the store it just shows a price. All of Sarah's costumes I've bought but one and none of them show as free. What is the deal? What am I missing here? Are they not all available?

@UpSideDownGRUNT, wait, you are saying, there are texture quality differences? So far Last Round seemed to only be improved regarding, resolution, lighting and shadowing on current gen...not so much in regard to textures of costumes or stages. Are you sure, it's not the placebo effect?
But it would make sense... The textures for the costume pack had to be kept small for PS3/Xbox360, because apparently the consoles reach their storage limit. Despite bad textures, the costume pack still nearly had a whopping 1GB size. On PS4 and Xbone the costumes are included right from the start and don't need an extra download. The new consoles should be able to render much better textures too. It all comes down to Team Ninja being a little lazy again or them really taking a little time to optimize the recently made stuff. It would make me really happy, because some of the contest costumes are almost ruined for me, because of their bad textures.

when are people going to realize the game is fucking glitched -_-

Going back to Kasumi's blue Kimono, on Xbox One the textures have much more of a gloss effect on the body suit and the string on the head piece are up-resed too. Even past costumes have the up-resed treatment Hayate's C3 looks SOOO much better now the laces and cloth textures have improved greatly and although not as noticeable the floors have been omproved to some effect too.

Spoiler: all the new hairstyles

^forgot to hide the stuff at the bottom whoops

 

[The 4th phase]

My last round arcade stick is being shipped right now but once I get it I will post pics of it.

havent played as or against her yet, but I do feel that way about Raidou. I was expecting that tank of a guy to be slower. Awkward to see someone that huge moving that fast.

Brad, Lisa, Christie, Rachel, and Helena look awesome. Hitomi is okay, Leifang I don't notice a difference, and I dunno what to make of Kokoro's, but the rest are total crap.
