DEAD OR ALIVE 5 Last Round

• Crimson returns as a playable stage. The time of day seems exactly the same from DoA2U and there is a lot more going on in the background. Later shots of the stage don't confirm it but the hidden room is likely going to return. Wonder what knocking someone into the TV will do this time around? And maybe that TV in the opening shot is the same one from the hidden room.
• Way more particle effects on everything from explosions to hitting the energy walls to slamming into the floor on the Lab
• New visual effect on Critical Burst
• Call me crazy but there seem to be far more penguins on Ends of the Earth
• New hairstyles for the girls
• Anti-aliasing making everything look far more clean
• New tag intros
• Costume contest entries showing up in the announcement trailer
• DangerZone returns but remember that super high bounce is likely after a KO, not just a normal stage mechanic
• Waiting for a translation for the Core Fighters slide

 

Not sure if anyone thought about this or not.. but you guys know that since it's coming out on XB1/PS4, you'll be able to make cmv's and tutorials for the game without a capture card right?

Think of it like this too: PS4 and XBone users suddenly have that much of an easier time recording matches, combos, and strategies without capture devices. I don't know how the XBone works but the PS4 currently publishes videos to Facebook (and you can use these steps to get them to Youtube) and this fall PS4 is getting Youtube support. Things suddenly get that much easier for the character threads to demonstrate situations and imagine up all kinds of crap. I'm looking forward to that so I can stop describing things in excessive detail.

 

Xbox One can already upload directly to YouTube actually. Been able to for a while. That'll be a nice feature for the current gen consoles.

 

HOLY SHIT! Was Zack always able to perform a critical burst to a character in air state? Is this a new mechanic?

Hype is intensifying.

Ein wasn't airborne.

Ein wasn't airborne. He was stunned to where he was holding his gut... and then he got CB'd.

False alarm, I saw the stupid gif and didn't double check the trailer. Don't I feel silly.

 

Contrary to hipster mentality I will be looking forward to this. You guys are getting a lot more out of team ninja than the average CoD yearly release puts fourth. This is an inexpensive hobby compared to most, provided your goal is actually playing the game and not taking pictures of every swimsuit.

 

I was really hoping to see a DOA2 stage but Crimson? Really? Ah well. Rest of the trailer looked epic.

 

Guys, is that the DOA2 Danger Zone in the background of the DOA1 Danger Zone? I can see the pistons and the yellow elevator rails and what looks like a fence that you might be able to knock people over into the area.
Them Critical Burst particles look nice. Probably better than current effect.

 

Crimson was awesome. Super tiny hidden room to knock people into, the epic falls off the roof (and through the sign), the lighting...should be awesome.

 

SENRAN KAGURA HYPE

 

Sadly Crimson is never been one of my favourite stages, however it was always been funny to play and well balanced in its three small, medium big irregullarly areas to fight (more it appear pretty cool looking).

Pretty excited to discover that the game will be present even in the old generation and that so I will be able to play with it without waiting who know how much time beofre to get a next gen! ^^

Now I just hope that the contents between the PS3/Xbox360 with the PS4/XboxOne will not present differences if not for the obvious graphical improvement in the consoles of the next gen (by the way the screen seen so far are from the Ps3 and Xbox360, right?)

EDit: Forgot to add that I loved everything I saw from the trailer, in particular the return of the DOA1 stage and its funny bounce mechanic!

 

Heh...Doa1 stage. Adorable.

 

Those costume sales finally showing some results with this new edition.

So far confirmed:

- New Stages (Crimson/DangerZone confirmed so far)
- New Tag Animations
- New Hairstyles
- New Costumes (Notably the fan contest ones was shown off so people can finally shut up about it lol)
- Possible Senran Kagura collaboration lol. Not even surprised since that is another ninja series with fan service

 

Added my own analysis to the original post for the trailer. Let me know what I missed!

 

SENRAN KAGURA HYPE

Wait when did they say they were involving Senran Kagura?

Maybe you should add the presence of new hairstyles and that even if stunning, the trailer was taken from the old generation version.

Wait when did they say they were involving Senran Kagura?

In the end of the trailer should be written that it's planned a collaboration between DoA and Senran Kagura (more additional info soon)
