Does Dimensions Tell us much about DoA5 gameplay? DOA5 Press Event!

[Berzerk!]

Responses for non DOA playing fighting scene guys I know has been positive. The screen shots are blowing them away.

 

[Rikuto]

That's because they don't play the game.

 

[Awesmic]

I'm not gonna lie. I play the game, and I can't help but be blown away by this. Attack me if you will, but it's the truth.

The screenshots graphically are very nice, awesmic. I won't attack you for that.

The gameplay changes are scary at best, though.

I wish there was video footage.

 

[Berzerk!]

The screenshots are sans UI such as lifebars.

I'd like to know if they were there and if there has been a change in design, and if it felt like there was a change in the amount of damage holds did.

Did it feel like playing on DOA4 Normal Life, etc?

No one is denying that the game looks good visually. Just most of us here care more about the mechanics, and the mechanics so far are scaring us.

For instance now it looks like and are universal sidestep evasion moves. At least thats the plan right now.

i asked morris about the mini-game and he said it was meant to reduce or avoid damage, not to reflect it. (thank god)

team ninja did say that line about turning things around on hayate on twitter, but its highly likely that was a completely different build and its long been overhauled.

Woah, screen shop are very beautiful !
I was completly disappointed by the design in DoAD, but those pictures completly relief me !
About the gameplay, the multiple choice can be like mvc3 (damage reduce or thing like that) no?

 

[Matt Ponton]

Yup, Morris is obviously Press.

Just as long as it doesn't allow for a dramatic reversal.

Actually, speaking of MvC3, early builds of that game actually had it so that counter exchange gave you a free air combo. That off course was changed once players expressed their disapproval.

Just to clarify, I can't swear they don't intend to have turnaround option, just that from trying out the options in the limited play time I had, we only saw an ability to reduce / avoid damage. I also got that idea from the interview but some of what they intend they were not ready to disclose yet.

I played with a few decent media guys one from Gamespot for instance and we setup the option and tried a few.

I know quite a bit of the gameplay elements are still very fluid, so feedback on sites lie this with high level players will be quite influential at this point.

 

[Rikuto]

I believe they may yet be influenced by the community. If I didn't, I probably wouldn't be holding out for the game.
