DOA5 Nominated for Game Critics' Best Fighting Game of E3 award

Team NINJA's upcoming game Dead or Alive 5 was nominated at E3 for five different awards and nabbing two of them (GameWorld and Game Chronicles). It has just been announced that Dead or Alive 5 has been nominated by the Game Critics Awards for Best Fighting Game of E3. This is certainly a great honor for Team NINJA.

Dead or Alive 5 is in the running for best fighting game with the following competitors:

• Injustice: Gods Among Us (NetherRealm Studios/WBIE for PS3, Xbox 360, Wii U)

• Persona 4: Arena (Arc System Works/Atlus for PS3, Xbox 360)

• PlayStation All-Stars: Battle Royale (SuperBot/SCEA for PlayStation 3, PSVita)

• Tekken Tag Tournament 2 (Namco Bandai Games/Namco Bandai Games for PS3, Xbox 360)

If it can beat out Tekken Tag 2 that will be some great publicity.hope for the best.

 

That would be some of the best publicity ever!

 

Go Dead or Alive 5!!!

 

Hmm... more like all fighting games at E3 nominated for best fighting game of E3.

 

Do they give awards to unfinished products in any other industry? This seems silly.

Don't hate the game, hate the industry.

Oh, and yes.

It's the "Best of E3" award, not Game of the Year...

It's in the same vein as getting a "Best of Show" in any any auto industry expo (NYIAS, LAIAS, Paris, Geneva, etc.)

 

I got high hopes for Dead or Alive 5. Its certainly possible the game can snag this little award.
