If DOA5 is bad then we just keep playing other games like most of us have been. It will make my gaming life less busy with SSF4, VF5FS and SC5 being focuses already. If DOA5 is good, the community will reignite and players of other 3D games will cross over. If they make it a great game with...

I'm sure there are a few people on the site who are familiar with some development timelines for games (MrWah for one) and make a comparison on how quickly some other titles have come together. Anyone with knowledge of this able to comment? To follow a current example, Soul Calibur 5 footage...

Talking to publisher reps for some of the other companies producing fighting games, there are some events where they don't want to overload it with high level players because they are nervous about scaring off casual/new players. But I've never heard of high level players being expressly...

That's not strictly true. At this point announcing a game for EVO guarantees added interest; look at Tatsunoko VS Capcom, a game that was dropped like a hot potato after its one EVO appearance. Mortal Kombat 9 had great growth and interest leading up to EVO appearances, but it was added to EVO...

Yes, I know that, Mr Take Things The Wrong Way. Retract those throat ripping claws! :P It's one of those things that just needs to be stated over and over, not for Mr Wah's benefit, but for other readers to think about their own local gatherings. I do exactly the same things in practicing...

Read the article when it went up on SRK. Agree with it, with reservations. Like Rikuto, I disagree with the title. The positive driver of the article is to back your game and participate in your community. Mr Wah, your reasoning for creating FSD is really sound and defensible. The...

More like, why is this being posted on such short notice?

You got it right there.

Come on Grape, DOAD was clearly not intended to do that and DOA5 is where they are making that statement of intent. I wasn't out to quibble about whether they succeed or not, but the fact is that no matter how well DOA5 does or does not innovate, despite what they (or anyone else making...

Is it easy or difficult to play other games? I think you underestimate DOA by asking that, it really is a MUCH better game than you think! Where its a fair call is in every scene there are people who only play THAT game. But theres a lot more crossover these days. At the least, someone high...

Very true. There's also a natural cycle where games will be played competitively for a year or two and they will naturally have people drop off. It's somewhat rare to have the games with the really long tail we've seen in things like Starcraft Brood War, Street Fighter 3 3rd Strike or...

Yeah, Wolf and Jeffrey in VF have tons of that stuff too, in fact on hit+ throw moves are common to almost all of the cast. Grape: Your question deserves a fun answer. Your Batman tshirt made me think it's like asking if Ryu Hayabusa could beat Batman. That would get the fanboy blood pumping.

So it is. With some ng3 elements. Will have to wait and see

If VITA has an updated Ninja Gaiden Black I might have to buy one. I only bought 3DS for DOAD.

I agree in principle, but we don't really have a lot of basis to be critical right now. We know they are planning gameplay changes, we don't know what direction that is. We've already sent an extensive list of feedback based on our current knowledge, so I feel like the next point of analysis...

I really have no issue with what is said here, because I understand the difference between technical gameplay and deep gameplay. This has always been something that DOA has balanced quite well. This interview is almost the same content as the gamasutra one with no actual gameplay detail. So...

Oh and talking Hokuto No Ken? Since Koei had the Fist of the North Star license for a Fist of the Northstar game, could we hope for Team Ninja to do an actual fighting game with it someday? The older 2D ones were pretty cool mind you.

You know its interesting that Soul Calibur 5's character creation mode seems to have been reigned in. I saw this headline on Shoryuken and immediately thought "that's good!", very much in line with Rikuto's comments on what was wrong with the creation mode of SC4...

Yep I'm with you. We should be an active, PUSHY community, love that to be a characteristic for us. I just think that dwelling on things said prior to the announcement of DOA5 is counterproductive, and those agitating energies to address things of concern need to be focused on the now; when we...

These would be good points if they weren't outdated; you have to remember the context of Perfect Legend's interview was in the leadup to DOAD, and the answers given were in reference to that game compared to DOA4 and not around their ongoing design philosophy, nor does it reveal what they are...
