Holy crap I forgot how good this game looked :)

I have some screenshots lying around... I'll post a few.

I love that one for Ayane, so cute

So wait, even the audience in the wrestling ring looks better than in DOA5 ?

A few more...

DoA4 was visually impressive, and not just from a graphical point, but more of an aesthetics point. Shame its stages were nowhere near as good as doa2 and doa3 =/. I don't mind doa5's graphics but I definitely prefer the old art/aesthetics. I miss the old school stages even more.

Literally everything but the character models are so detailed and beautifully designed DOA5 is like the other way around :$

 

[GrapeInfernal]

Thank you very much for screens! I'm impressed, it looks stunning.So, ehm, DoA 5 only does better job in light/shadow, skin material, hair and facial expressions? I'm not sure with clothes - maybe 5's are more advanced but 4 has crisp textures

DOA5 did a better job with clothes and hair physics too, wich were pretty bad to begin with as you can see in the pictures.

Yeah, that black hair above looks pretty weak and buggy. DoA 5's clothes - uh-huuh, i remember that series of great posts from 5U screens thread depicting wonderful details but some 5's clothes are kinda low res and muddy sometimes, right? DoA 4's clothes look technically simpler but from what i seen above quality is more consistent...or i just too impressed by Ryu and Hitomi's cloth materials on 2nd and 4th pics.

 

[Aven Kujo-Gin]

Yes, clothes have better textures in DOA4, but the whole game was better than DOA5 in that way. However the physics are a bit buggy sometimes, something that doesn't happen to often in DOA5.

 

[KasumiLover]

As much as I love DOA5, i do miss the stages.... They had a magical epic element that lured me into the series to begin with. The hair physics were bad too, but they looked better and thicker and longer than what we have now. I really wish they could've just kept the old hair, but updated the hair physics, so it could still be long but not move and slither around like tentacles either....

 

[Pictured Mind]

I think DOA 5 looks better in pretty much every way.

You guys seriously need to play Last Round on PS4 if you think DOA4 looks better. Hell not even the PS3/360 versions looks worse than DOA4. What's wrong with you¿

 

[Jyakotu]

DOA4, for an early Xbox 360 title, looks good. But in terms of aesthetics, I'm glad that DOA5 went with the more realistic style for the fighters. Last Round on the current gen consoles looks amazing, and it'll look even more amazing on PC.

 

[Aven Kujo-Gin]

Both games have different kind of graphics. While DOA4 is more anime style. DOA5 is more realistic. So one game is not better or worse than the other, it's just different. I agree that LR looks very good, but I still find DOA4 prettier. Sorry but that is my opinion.

 

[Kiraragirl200]

Aesthetically, I much prefer the colorful anime-like style of 1-4, it had a memorable charm to it. While 5 is definitely a "better" looking game (which is to be expected from a 7 year difference) it's just not my cup of tea (just too gritty for my taste, and the color palette can be boring sometimes )
Personally my favorite character models were DOA3/2U's.

 

[LeiFangFan85]

I honestly disagree IMO. I hated the plastic ribbon look on the hair (Leifang, for example, suffered from this) and the game, even for the system it was released during the time, look outdated.
