  • Praying wholeheartedly PRISM will not be successful so that TN reconsiders what both DOA and Xtreme were about in the first place.
    Then the timeline will start to heal.

    The worst thing to happen was DOA6 because of games direction with the developers going with less sexualized approach with a focus on EVO/eSports, listening to people who wanted a "cooler approach" like Shimbori did when he went to EVO17 & certain FSD Members (according to Rob when I was glad Shimbori was gone when he went to work with Tekken 8)...

    And lets not forget the modifications done to Rachel's Fiend & Phase 4 Arnice Transformation where 1 outfit had its skin covered instead of expose, and another outfit that was removed. DOAXVV was a pallet cleanser along with being the game what DOA6 should've been. What DOA franchise should be about in the first place is sex appeal, then the timeline would 100% heal recapture DOA5 & DOAXVV success.

    I concur, in short DOA is first and foremost a fighter that is accessible but very technical on many aspects, with breathtaking visuals and whose characters are mainly known for being hot. As simple as that.
    TN persists in shifting the focus going on completely different routes right after all the profit they made with DOA5 just a few years ago, making every other fan scratch their head in the process.
    PRISM's existence alone as a new DOA entry is tarnishing DOA's reputation for good.
    But let us all be thankful to Sakuda for not including Marie Rose, Kanna or Koharu in the base roster for obvious reasons.
    DOA, sweetie, I'm so sorry.
    I'm so sorry (but not surprised) that greedy clueless devs would even turn gold into shit.
    COVID-19 killed the Dead or Alive franchise (as we know it).

    Not everyone hated it Rikuto. There are still people playing. Not as good as it could be, but there are still players.

    It's the type of game where at a couple peak times of the day, you'll get a lobby going for a while until it collapses and matches simply cannot be found for hours. I think that speaks for itself. Not saying folks can't play what they like but its clear things ended the way they did for a reason.

    Knew DOA6 would be another unfinished mess of a game (just like DOA5LR lazy PC port) the day it was announced Tag Battle and Team Fight modes would be removed for the sake of visual and graphics enhancement (lame excuse).
    Everything about this game started going downhill afterwards.

    Still having trouble figuring out how the above was fanmade years ago in blender and below officially teases what we get in 2025, just how on Earth?

    To be fair, we haven't seen how good Prism will look in ReShade just yet.

    Imagine making a region-locked Xtreme game with a 6 character cast and Dead or Alive in its title without announcing any DOA girl in your top 3 reveal.
    Sakuda must be very proud of his character creations.
    At this point, it would have been better to dissociate Dead or Alive from Venus Vacation.

    Really tried to be optimistic but all this man is doing is alienating what's left of both this franchise and its fanbase (f*ck to Western fans again, seriously?).
    If Kasumi that is the face of DOA is not in it, that's going to be the last nail in the coffin.

    Wish to be in awe of DOA again.
    Wondering why we're getting this Unreal Engine-looking mediocrity in 2025, 6 years after DOA6, when we could have had Nioh 2's type of artsyle that is graphically on a whole other level of gorgeous.
    NPCs in that game look better than the above ventriloquist.

    This got me wondering what's the point of a dating sim if the character in front of you keeps a poker face all the time that blocks you from feeling any connection to them.
    Add difficulty to it maybe?

    Just be realistic when TN had us lower our expectations on a regular basis with every DOA game released over the past few years.
    The downfall started with DOAX3 as we got a half-done game with missing features plus an incomplete roster.

    that's intentional, more revealing outfit is hidden behind paid DLC, just like DOA6

    When making sequels, you'd always have to add some new things to the franchise like the Owner Mode that was introduce in DOAX3, and make it the first time where each girls had their own ending rather than 1 ending from previous games where volcano always kept destroying Zack's Island.

    And the Gacha would be a thing for companies to have their interest, considering how much money they can collect from the Players. Gacha obviously wasn't meant to be at the start, since when DOA began the Gacha business model wasn't a thing until 2010s. Legacy companies would want to do Gacha to maximize their profits.

    Venus Vacation is closet to DOA following the New Generation path (one of the hit & miss in Legacy franchises example SF3 & Tekken 3) where not every veteran returns & there is a bunch of newcomers. By the way they shouldn't keep Venus Vacation separate from DOA, because that is the only thing that makes DOA money at this point.

    That Mai glow-up. Those amber eyes alone make her instantly more gorgeous..
    Her DOA counterpart remains unmatched to this day though.
    Unpopular DOAXVV opinions:
    1. Elise actually looks more like pre-DOA5 Helena than current Helena herself facewise.
    2. Amy is just Ayane with green eyes and long, light brown hair.
    3. Koharu is just Marie Rose but with enhanced Asian features.
    4. Tsukushi is some sort of Velma Dinkley and Ariana Grande mixture.
    Helena is the character that has suffered the most come to think of it.
    She has literally been through one hell of a roller coaster of emotions.

    Her father got killed by Bayman first.
    Right after, Christie just waits for the climax of her recital to shoot her.

    Then here goes Ayane, trolling on her mother's passing in the same opera house in flames (for fun), and letting her mistake her for the murderer as a result.

    Then Christie back at it again in DOA4, mocking her for being a fool all this time.
    She has to go through the stages of grief all over again and just as she was having a moment at the DOA4 grand finale, Zack rescues her out of the blue.

    Poor thing has become bipolar by DOA6. And NiCO tries to resurrect her mother's corpse behind her back on top of that.

    Can Team Ninja give her a break in DOA7?
