DOA5LR: Tweets, Speculations, Rumors, etc...

[David Gregg]

Reviving this thread in the mean time during the New Content hiatus until we get actual new content. XD I'm behind on the updates but people have been saying we will find something out this week?

My theory: They're releasing one or both characters to arcades before LR's release. They had mentioned it a while back saying that they were considering it but it will give people an incentive to go back to arcades.

Actually Hayashi said this in a TGS interview:

Q: Is it possible that other things will come to the arcade first?

A: Characters "may" come to the arcade version first. I say "may" because many things are still being decided. Once decisions are made, we'll let you know.

I'm not sure if he was talking about the new 2 ones or rather of additional future characters (I believe the latter because the interviewer asked about "other things" and they mentioned the new male and female characters before). In any cases this give us the confirmation that TN wish continue to give importance to the arcade version with temporary exclusivities, so it doesn't make so unlikely your theory about a LR release before on arcade than on console.

I hope the stages get better saturation and contrast. Like this edit for example.

Yeah I hope the stages get texture updates as well because they look awful zoomed in.

Did everyone support my suggestion for better textures a few weeks back on Facebook?

I doubt, Team Ninja even noticed it among all the: "I want thicker hair!", "I want more realistic irises for the eyes!", "I want Leifang's ears covered!", "I want DOA on PC!", "I want even more bikinis!" and so on...

By the way from my experience, even if with a certain gap they seem to read really everything that it's posted on their official pages.

 

[Brute]

No offense to Cr!mson, but the images you keep posting look just terrible to me. There's no way I'd want that level of saturation and gamma.

So any news about the 2 new characters?

No. BUT the good news is that MCM Expo in London is coming (Friday 24.10 to Sunday 26.10), so we might have some news there as DOA5LR will be playable.

Last time there was something at MCM Expo with DOA, the demo of DOA5 was only playable, but there was a trailer : it was the introduction of Zack and Lei Fang in The Show.

If I remember correctly, the trailer was posted a few days before (Wednesday/Thursday) on their Facebook page (which killed the hype for me, because I had bought a ticket to go there).

Last Round being playable doesn't mean anything.

I know but anyway, we'll have news this week about DOA5LR, based on what TN on Twitter.
So it's more likely to happen during this Expo or with Famitsu's leaked scans on Wednesday.

In May 2012, this happened :
- "We have some news coming this week" (weekend)
- "We'll have some info during MCM Expo, please come!" (monday)
- Scans were leaked (wednesday)
- Trailer was revealed (thursday)
- MCM Expo : tournament, trailer revealed (again), etc.

Holy crap, they do look like PS2 floor textures lol

Why do you say so? This message was posted on this page: https://m.facebook.com/deadoralivegame

That's why I always say, guys, stop whining and nitpicking about too thin hair or Leifang's ears and let's all unite to ask Team Ninja to redo at least the worst ground textures for the PS4 and Xbone version of LR. So far it doesn't look as if they are going to. The game would look so much better though... Of course the new squishy boobs will eventually make us forget the PS2 textures on a PS4... >__>

I just think that unfortunately it's something a lot of gaming companies are willing to cut corners with. Even as nice as T7 looks you can sometimes (not as often as DOA) see the PS2esque side of the ground:

It personally doesn't bother me and I feel like there are more important things TN needs to accomplish for LR.

Where did you get that picture?!

 

[Tyaren]

Doesn't look very promising...The background looks like a true PS4 game, the character model looks like out of PS3 game and textures of the ground seem to be ripped straight out of a PS2 game. :/

Where did you get that picture?!

They are all over the internet. Here's another one:

While I agree its unfortunate that a lot of gaming companies neglect the environment textures, I definitely think that the environment textures is an important aspect TN should pay attention to.

It bothers me to see the visual contrast between the cast and the environment. Plus, isn't DOA known for their interactive and visually appealing environments? They shouldn't fall back on that unique aspect. If TN invested some more time into creating detailed textures for the environment, DOA would really be the prettiest fighting game out there ^^.
