DLC Costumes

[KasumiLover]

I like the little icon that shows the costumes can be destroyed. It comes in handy for if you and the guys are hanging at the house, and you don't want to scare them away with the destructible costumes I wouldn't really care, because I have no chill

My friends would probably laugh, but I don't really believe they'll be scared of it at all(in fact, I would honestly laugh if anyone really does that type of stuff...)

What I mean by scare away, is basically people who know nothing of DOA but see the costumes and boobies and get the wrong idea. That's why my dad plays it with me, but my mom doesn't

I just don't understand why fetish and shit DLC sells better.

These Senran and Deception outfits are some of the best sets to come out since forever.

We are past the point where just seeing a girl in a bikini makes us jump out of our chairs, and actually look for good character designs.

However, there's a lot of guys who are NOT past that stage, and they are where the money rolls in for fetish dlc. I've talked to a lot of guys who act like their masculinity is challenged if every girl isn't in a bikini.

Then there's also the matter of quantity. I used to buy everything for Mila, regardless, solely because she was the only character I used. And "everything" was mostly fetish dlc, so its just a matter of "bought 12 fetish outfits and only 3 good costumes simply because theres' only 15 outfits to buy"

Well, I'm pretty sure destructible costumes will soon become the norm, which means anything can turn into "fetish" DLC.

I don't think that they will become the norm but I'm sure that we will see much more packs in this form: in my opinion this would be a wished outcome because in this way TN could get a sure way to fulfill the interests of everyone: who want buy proper costumes and who wish for sexy outfits could be satisfied with the same pack.

Anyway the other side of the coin would be:

1. The outfits of the destructable packs could get more easily lower quality textures being in the end the work of two costumes in one (of course this isn't right for the old generation or Steam version). I hope that this will not be the case.
   
   
2. The destructable outfits for males and females in a such way will get always an higher price compared instead to the simple sexy costumes for the female characters only (as the future swimsuit packs), the latter instead will get the ordinary price even considering that they sell more. I don't remember exactly who already predicted it in this thread (I believe @Darkton93) but this seems to me a scenario higly likely: it's a solution that goes at the same time toward all the fanbase and again assures high revenues to KT.

That's my biggest problem with the destructible DLC. They have by far the worst textures and the lowest polygon count of all DOA5 DLC costumes. You would think, DLC costumes should actually look better, now that DOA5 is also running on PS4/Xbone and PC... So far I didn't buy one single costume from the Senran Kagura pack or the Deception pack, even though there were several costumes, that I would have really liked to own. But, sorry, I can't look at PS2 quality costumes in this day and age anymore, it gives me eye cancer. D:

I agree that the textures are far from being great, but for my personal tastes - like I said more times - having to choose necessarily between one of these options I definitely prefer great outfits with low textures than poor outfits with high textures. I would lie saying to not wish to get the similar DLC route of the six lath months applied even to the next six ones. But like always I perfectly respect the other's opinions, I know that you are overall careful of the graphical side and I understand that you can't suffer them.

I think TN uses these textures even for next Gen consoles so that last Gen console users won't feel left out since the game is already advanced on next Gen consoles.

Honestly I think that it's more likely for saving time and efforts considering that they are working at the same time on 2 outfits. But if you are right then we should notice an improvement in the next destructable packs (considering that there are serious chances for the Deception pack to be the last one developed even for old generation).

Low resolution textures, shaders and low polygon models are also easier and quicker to make and the smaller file size makes distribution and storage more unproblematic.

Im sure TN can make more detailed costumes, but I think time and storage space is their optimal focus when making the costumes. I mean, what good is a detailed costume pack if it's a 3GB pack and it takes longer to make?

really? I still have a soft spot/preference for ps1/N64 graphics. Less is more, youknow?

Though I understand what you're saying.


Either the "explosive clothes" will become a DOA standard in which case I hope they adjust it more like Soul Calibur's version, or its just going to be for the "Promotional crossover" packs.

These graphics are charming and perfectly fine within their games and within their console generation. But textures like this...

...don't really fit in with PS3/PS4 graphics like this:

Although keep in mind, due to how texturing works, its understandable for "large segments" to sometimes have blurrier textures, while all the small details look better.
Notice how that hayate outfit is a bunch of little details.

Now that said, there's no excuse for blurry resolution on major details like the pants, Nyo's wings, the werewolf fur, etc. Its the small details that can get a pass with low res.

But right now they have it backwards, with small details being crystal clear, and major visual things being blurry.

 

[EMPEROR_COW]

I dunno ..
from the Halloween contest .. I have a feeling we may be set for a few costumes packs ..
these are all predictions .. but yeah.. lol

- Halloween set 2015 (duh)
- Animal set
- Mythology set (Greek/Egyptian/etc..)
- another damn bikini set.

These are my predictions .. lol

 

[Chapstick]

Has voting for the halloween stuff even started yet?

 

[KwonJigglypuff]

There is no voting process, TN will just choose what they want/like.

 

[Chapstick]

Oh, must have missed that. Well, it certainly removes quite a bit of drama from the contest. And there's no place anywhere to see all the entries?

No.
TN stated that there are 1500+ entries that were submitted, and we've barely publicly seen half of them. The rest was sent by email. They will probably keep them all for DLC inspiration and future designs if DOA6 were to happen.

Well that sucks.

Kinda feels like, why even make a "contest" out of it, if we can't see the entries. It's more a general "Just submit ideas for to possibly use this month", and nothing more, then.
