DLC Music Choices.

this might be a silly question but i figured id ask, does anyone know if the songs on stages go by character themes again like they did in Doa4 or does each place just have its own theme now. I didnt really pay attention when i played haha

Character themes are gone, replaced with stage themes.

wow really!? why would they do that :/ character themes have been around forever, i used to know exactly which songs id like to fight on and all xD

Each stage has its own theme, some stages re-using character themes from DOA4. Fighting Entertainment uses Tina's theme, Depth uses Alpha-152's.

They wanted the music to match the atmosphere of the stages now, so each stage has it's own theme. Though like Nightpup said, Fighting Entertainment uses Tina's DOA4 theme, and Depth uses Alpha-152's theme.

hmm ok I guess I see the reasoning behind that now. Some songs just did not fit certain places in Doa4 come to think of it.

The stage theme actually fit, but I would like character theme songs as well. A dl pack for all the games would be great. Just let us choose which songs we want to use.

That would be pretty cool. I'd buy it.

Oh, what? I love Tribal Beats, it fit Lisa's personality and was one of two songs that stood out to me in DOA4.(rest of the ost was as boring as 3 imo)

Of course it stood out, it's nothing but three guys wailing on trash cans for 2:52.

DoA's music has always been so garbage I couldn't pick it out now, ever. I don't know how many hours I have logged into DoA2, 3, and 4, but I honestly could hear a DoA song right now and wouldn't know that I've ever heard it before because the tracks are so unoriginal and boring I could care less. Most of the time I just put my TV on mute and turn on my own soundtrack or something. Don't get me wrong, it's not just DoA, Tekken 6 has a garbage soundtrack as well, and I can't even remember if VF5FS even has music and I was just playing it last night. KoF is the only fighter of recent that not only do I enjoy the music while I'm playing, but I would listen to it outright. Iori has probably one of the best themes I've ever heard.

 

[xOmniCloudx]

I only really liked parts of the DOA2 OST and a few tracks from DOA3. Music has never been the series strong point.

 

[UncleKitchener]

KOF98 and Tekken 3 OST, both Arcade and Arranged versions.

If it has to be a DOA OST, either 2 or 3 are good.

Ha ha. Reading that reminded me of the old "Bangin' on a Trash Can" song from Doug. I miss the cartoons of the 90's.

But yeah, Tribal Beats was awful.

 

[Dacthunder]

I'd be a fool to pay for classic music DLC when we have custom soundtracks! And man am I gonna put that feature to good use in this one.

LoL, I was thinking the same thing lol

Since we're on this topic, check out these from DOA
Leon:

Christie:

Omega Genra:

Hayate:

Bayman:

I'm guessing people already posted these, but I didn't bother reading through. These are some my favorite tunes.

 

[Stikku]

Reincarnate

Kasumi Alpha's Theme (DOAD)

Power Shovel

Prismatic Butterfly

Mayflower

Aya

Power is Beauty

A modern vocal remix of "Codename: Bayman" performed by Seryoga. If they can't afford him, forget it.

Another rap song specifically dedicated to this game performed by Bone Thugs 'n Harmony as an answer to Snoop Dogg (which was really dedicated to his name change). If they can't afford him, then Adam Tensta.

As a side note, the promotional renders and cutscenes for both DOA3 and DOA4 make me wonder why they just didn't go with that style for DOA5. It's disappointing to see the new DOA5 style Jann Lee having little in common with that highly detailed Jann Lee model that was on the DOA3 cover, as well as his awesome story ending.

Or maybe it's just disappointing how little anyone in DOA5 looks like they used to.
It really seems like there's some missing link in their design routine ever since Itagaki left...........

What i love with this thread is that i use it as a jukebox when on FSD.Let's rename it the juke box thread

Since this seems to be a music appreciation thread for all the great DOA games 1,2,3 and 4, this is probably my favorite thread on the entire site right now. Any collective appreciation for the series as a whole like this one is just nice to see, ya know?

To the couple of people who are bagging on the previous DOA game's music in this thread, I've got nothing to share with you. If DOA5 had decent music for the most part, this thread and discussion wouldn't even exist.
to the people who came here to listen to and discuss great DOA tracks, even for the widely improbable idea of DLC, here's to you.

Gen-Fu's DOA4 theme
