Re: Akira is featured in Tecmo's Dead or Alive 5

Not gonna lie, this is strangely awesome to me. I've always liked DoA but some system stuff held me back from getting fierce into it, I hope with a new producer and direction that changes.

Re: Akira is featured in Tecmo's Dead or Alive 5

DOA is under SEGA now? That's interesting.

Re: Akira is featured in Tecmo's Dead or Alive 5

WHAT, NO GEM SYSTEM! OMG FAIL

Re: Akira is featured in Tecmo's Dead or Alive 5

That trailer was entertaining and I'm looking forward to seeing what else happens. In any case, it should be a fun game. But I'm still mostly looking forward to FS ^_^

That said... if people are concerned about Selling Out... VF Kids was awesome and umm... well Virtua Quest was not lol. VF merchandise in Shenmue was pretty cute ^_^ But then there was that VF anime... yeah... that anime...

But anyhow, this DoA5 news made my day ^_^

Re: Akira is featured in Tecmo's Dead or Alive 5

As I said on FSD:

I FUCKING LOVE THIS

My two favourite fighters together. That's about all the analysis I have right now except - this is great, and its good for both games, hype for both, exposure for both, a bit more excitement for VF, and a bit more credibility for DOA.

Very smart, very cool move.

Re: Akira is featured in Tecmo's Dead or Alive 5

Ya and DOA could have the potential for becoming a much better FG now without Itagakis toxic influence focusing on breast instead of good fighting mechanics.

Re: Akira is featured in Tecmo's Dead or Alive 5

Wasn't planning on picking up DOA5.

Now I most likely will.

Re: Akira is featured in Tecmo's Dead or Alive 5

I wouldn't be surprised if Akira plays like Gen Fu ... They seem to have similar pauses in offensive flow.

Re: Akira is featured in Tecmo's Dead or Alive 5

VF deserves more attention than that!

Re: Akira is featured in Tecmo's Dead or Alive 5

This is being misreported. Sega are not the publishers, confirmed by them this morning. They also sent out a release to say Akira is guesting in DOA5. Nothing about publishing.

Re: Akira is featured in Tecmo's Dead or Alive 5

DOA x VF crossover wow, I like it, I hated DOA 4 but this crossover got me hype, can't wait to see which other VF characters have made it in.

Re: Akira is featured in Tecmo's Dead or Alive 5

First they tone down the sex in the game and now added Akira Yuki. I believe this is going to be a serious fighting game.

Re: Akira is featured in Tecmo's Dead or Alive 5

Thanks for the info, otherwise I think it's a big news that TeamNinja is under SEGA's cover.

Re: Akira is featured in Tecmo's Dead or Alive 5

Oh yeah!!! VF comes out swinging! That's the spirit!!! Personally, DOA 5 wasn't even on my radar because of how broken it is. But now It's on my reserve list. Even though Akira will be transported to a broken dimension where evades don't work, and 8-way run is purely cosmetic.

Re: Akira is featured in Tecmo's Dead or Alive 5

Man this game is looking better and better. And for those of you saying DOA5 is going to be bad or whatever, it's a new engine, a new direction, and a new game all together so making those statements based on DOA4 aren't really fair. Richkwondo, how do you know how "broken" DOA5 is? It is still very deep in development! I'm sure they aren't just upgrading the graphics from 4, and as far as evades not working, they've already shown a sidestep command (22 or 88) in button layouts in pre release press events.

Re: Akira is featured in Tecmo's Dead or Alive 5

Those DOA kids better buy VF5FS or they'll get no respect from me.

Re: Akira is featured in Tecmo's Dead or Alive 5

Honestly this cross over is just the thing that both franchises need. Thankfully characters from both series won't have to go through drastic changes to fit into either system. Really hoping that VF6 can take a more dynamic approach to level design and animation like DOA has always done since 2.

Wow, that was stunning! You could easily tell the respect that Tecmo has for VF and Akira from that. It's awesome to see Akira in a next-gen graphics engine as well. It's almost like a glimpse of what VF6 could look like.

Oh, and revealing Akira with the first Kasumi gameplay trailer was perfect. It's almost like a giant advertisement for VF as well as DOA since anyone who cares about DOA5 will want to see this trailer. Maybe it'll generate more interest in FS, maybe not, but more exposure for VF is always a good thing.

I couldn't really say that I cared about DOA5 that much before this, but now, I'm buying it day 1! FS will be out by then though, so I might forget about it

Definitely impress from the third trailer. I doubted we'll get see more fighters from VF anytime since this game is a direct sequel to the last Dead or Alive. Hopefully, Sega and Tecmo-Koei will make an actual crossover later on.[/size]
