I expect at least a two year pause till there's an announcemnt for DOA6. They need time to develop it after all and they will very likely develop and release a new Ninja Gaiden first.
I completely agree! I want to see DOA6 change totally. I want to see more entertaining DOA2/4 rounds, with interesting, fun and original danger zones and interactions. I want to see character development, and a bit of creativity with the costumes. Keep the T and A and the bikinis, but give us the choice of personally fitting outfits the suit the characters, showing off their fighting and out-of-fighting personalities.
The game play will always evolve, we know that, but we can't control what the company developing it might do. Wether its Tomb Raider Angel of Darkness 'bad', or Street Fighter 2 turbo 'good', thats in the hand of the developers. However, we as the community have the power to say what we want to see from a aesthetic point of view.
However, wether or not TN's nationalistic policy even bother listen to the US and EU (where the game is still supported even though we have had to put up with their global ignorance), is another story. If they just listen to their japanese fans, we will have nothing but Ayane's horrible halloween bat bikini!
