Lets talk about redesigns

[Raansu]

That’s pretty vague. [laughs] However, since she’ll be on a 3D mouse pad, does that mean she’ll have voluminous breasts or butt?
Yohei Shimbori: I don’t know? She just might have some volume somewhere else.

I'd laugh pretty damn hard if it turned out to be a fat female fighter lol. That'd send the crazies into a firestorm.

after watching the gameplay video lemme just point out that honokas waist is SNATCHED. they definitely made her curves more noticeable. her c2 is so boring and plain that im kinda glad to see her default?

speaking of, im so use to marie having better outfits that ive noticed how badly designed her default is.

Those jeans are very snug lol.

I second this lmfao. That would be absolutely mint. But I doubt that's the case because they still have to appeal to the Asian crowd. I wouldn't mind a heavyweight female though. Maybe replace Rachel with a big strong female akin to R.Mika as the new female.

That would certainly be more likely.

I don't see the pirate ship as boring either... Both that and the Jurassic stage give DOA players what they want.

What? They're boring as hell. Oh boy, one flat square area that leads to another flat space... but dinosaurs! Ugh... I miss DOA2/3 style stages.

Famitsu: After playing the game I couldn’t help but notice how much nicer the graphics are compared to Dead or Alive 5.
Yohei Shimbori, Producer: That’s right. Actually, the new graphics engine isn’t finished yet. So I believe it’ll be even better for the next version. I hope we get to show how pretty it looks on the next occasion.

So it’ll be even better! Looking forward to it. Hitomi’s victory pose is just so cute.
Yohei Shimbori: Isn’t it cute? Well, we wouldn’t give it the green light if it’s not cute. [laughs]

By the way, I heard that a “new female character” is going to be introduced, but could you perhaps share any hints about her features?
Yohei Shimbori: Her voice actress is top-class! I suppose that’s not much of a hint. [laughs]

That’s pretty vague. [laughs] However, since she’ll be on a 3D mouse pad, does that mean she’ll have voluminous breasts or butt?
Yohei Shimbori: I don’t know? She just might have some volume somewhere else.

So basically it’s a secret. [laughs] We’re looking forward to the announcement.

See, this is the difference between Shimbori and Itagaki. Itagaki knew how to tease people and get them excited. Shimbori is a wet fish.

honokas waist is SNATCHED

Is this that newfangled slang the youngsters are using nowadays because I have no idea what this means. Her waist is smaller than it should be? lol

The majority of doa2's stages were squared off or large open stages as well, even the ones with interesting transitions were just from one square to another. Only like 4 of the 22 stages had very distinct setups. like Koku An and Dragon Hills. Demons Church as cool as that transition is, its still just a small square moving to a big square. Honestly, I think DoA4 was the only DoA with extremely varied stages, and most of them were headache inducing.

ANIMALS

I would love to have more animals back. In DOA2U you had a tons of animals and life in various stages, also in DOA3 and DOA4. And I would like to see, they would act like an actual animal, not like a "placed polygon model" in the BG. Please Team Ninja, play with it.

WATER-EFFECT / SNOW- and SAND-EFFECT / Mirror- and Shadow-EFFECT

In DOA3 we had a good vision of leaving "kinda realistic" waves in the water. (Lost World Stage). Also, there was a good feeling and realistic touch, fighting in snow and sand. (DOA2/DOA2U/DOA3/DOA4). The characters left footprints which was totally gone in DOA5.

Also, the mirror effects in DOA2U and DOA3 were superb and are brilliant looking up to this day. Even though, it was not real time mirroring, it looked insanely good. Also totally gone in DOA5. The shadows of the characters in DOA5 is a real problem. Girls don't have hair in various situation, also objects such as clothes where not displayed.

INTRO VIDEO / Fighting Demonstration

Please bring that back together with a strong soundtrack. I do really miss that.

STAGES

Your strength was a crazy portfolio of various stages. You had a good mix up in your past games. Please bring that back. What we have seen so far was a start. Please keep that on. The teasing of (most likely) Aerial Garden makes hope for further "coming back stages" that are not too industrial themed.

Unfortunately, it seems that we are not going to see all these cool realistic details. If I'm not wrong, I don't see any mirror effects on water ; Photo-realistic style is gone with Itadaki.
... but the new graphics engine is not finished yet. Maybe...
One last thing : faces are extremely wet but how do fighter keep their hair dry after fighting in water ?

 

[Project Bokuho]

This recolor for Bayman looks sick!

I was just watching photos from here: https://www.famitsu.com/images/000/164/508/5ba39ed4141b5.html

Visually the game looks miles ahead of anything else fighting games have to offer right now

I'd character specific designs so far:

A: Hayabusa, Bayman, Ayane, Honoka, Marie Rose, Leifang
B: Kasumi, Diego, Hayate, Helena, Zack
C: Jann Lee, Rig, Hitomi (I feel like Jann Lee still has some problems with the neck area animations, Rig has bit too much botox injected to his lips dno whats going there lol & I feel something is a bit off with Hitomi, still a solid C)

Maybe replace Rachel with a big strong female akin to R.Mika as the new female.

 

[Leifang]

Beyond the picture quality. Dead or alive 6 graphics looks much better than 5. Just think, this isn’t the final build.

 

[Raansu]

Cracks me up how her dress is kinda pushed out a bit to prevent clipping.

 

[DyByHands]

DOA does need a Sumo still...
But that is the same thing they said back when they first teased Honoka in 5. “She has the biggest... something?..” And we know how that turned out.

I like the looks of all of them, myself. And I really enjoy Zack right now. I hope they don’t lighten his skin tone from here. I know TN does that every now and again with him and Lisa both. He looks great now. Especially not being shown as a clown like early 5 did. That sucked.

 

[Tyaren]

I made two more direct comparisons.

 

[deathofaninja]

Honoka looks so much better to me.

During the character selection for Bayman I noticed he had quite a sneer. Nice touch.

 

[juliusxcix]

I made two more direct comparisons.

i hope they darken honokas hair back to this. it looks too weird right now

 

[Shining_Wave]

Marie Rose looks like Chloe Grace Moretz

 

[Raansu]

I think its just the lighting of that stage. They both have obviously higher textures, but Honoka aesthetically looks better to me in the DoA5 pic.

 

[Boogie]

What does everybody think about the redesigns or reused designs?

A+ - Leifang
A - Ayane
B - Zack, Helena
D- - Everyone else who didn't get an F.
F - Kasumi, Rig, Diego, Marie, Hitomi

Leifang's new outfit is the only design I've actually liked so far and Im bitter that all characters introduced in DoA5 aren't getting new C1s cause Rig's and Marie's are god awful. Diego's design is clearly a throwaway.

I feel like, personally, there should've been a theme with the redesigns. Similar to Soul Calibur 6 where all the characters re-designs are based on their debut designs. DoA 6 should've did something similar where all the new C1s are re-designs of debut designs or re-designed legacy outfits rather then just picking and choosing which characters get new C1s and which ones get re-designs and others getting none.

But granted at the end of the day it doesn't matter because between the next 5 years we'll 3 new game versions, have 7 costume contests, 263 bikinis, 40 costumes per boob and 8 new characters so I'm preaching to the choir.
