New stage is very likely DOA3's Azuchi

Not any time soon. Probably August to September if they release them in the same intervals we've been getting for LR.
I think they should just quit with the dlc now ( they got quite alot now) and focus on the doa 6. Doa 5 has been milked enough. Dlc was fun while it lasted.

I actually find sf 5 on ps4 quite good to be honest.

Really? These are direct feed PS4 screens:

From image quality, to lighting quality, to texture quality to background asset quality (to animation quality of backgrounds, which you don't see in stills of course) this is a really poor product.
Here's an overview of what you are actually missing from the properly optimized PC version.


PS4 doesn't even reach medium PC settings. As I said, there is no excuse for that other than the game not being properly optimized. And this particular game was even funded by Sony and primarly promoted for the PS4. *sigh*

@the mods, sorry, I won't discuss this topic any further in here. ;)

I see what you mean, but i didn't really have anything for it to be based on. Never played the pc version.

Unfortunately, I think we'll have to put up with it a while longer. Some time ago before LR was released, Tom Lee said that they're going to pretty much keep LR going for as long as they can. If this is the last DLC character, they'll probably resort to making new modes, stages, and other aesthetic options to keep everyone entertained until they eventually work on DOA6, which shouldn't be for at least 2-3 more years at least. Honestly, as long as they keep LR fresh and fun, I can wait for a good while until the next chapter is unveiled.

If that is case. They shouldn't stop making more characters ( i am expecting at least one badass male). A new mode would definitely increase the shelf life of the game.

Battle Royale 2017 has been announced and I assume that's for 5LR, so you can expect another year atleast of 5LR milking with DOAX3 on top of that. DOA6 won't be until 2018+

I personally wouldn't mind that. At least the fans will get the stages that they've been asking for in over three years.

They might not be though. That last one was its not necessary they follow the same pattern for the rest.
You may be right, but the last few stages(I think Lorelei, haunted Lorelei, fireworks) were all free, and the danger zone and crimson were technically on ps4. The worst case scenario is that they start charging for additional stages once DLC stops...

Well that Image is from the 3DS, the wooden barriers were added in that version making it very rectangular instead of allowing you to fight near the side of the stairs and in the gates.
Huh. That was like one of 2 screenshots I could find of the Azuchi lower level. I'll have to try to find a DOA3 vid or something.

The new version of the stage looks much smaller. The lower levels look pretty boxy. I suppose they didn't want the slope-heavy version of the stage from DOA3, but I find that stage to be pretty dynamic.

Higher level could do with a little bit more lighting.

Otherwise the stage is fine.,

How odd that they gated off the sides of the stairs. I can't possibly think that there'd be a system capability reason. It'd be cool if the barriers were one of those wall transitions like in the Hotzone or Ends of the Earth. But, probably not.

I do remember them saying a long time ago that they want to make the stages more "tournament-y" and less random and that's why all of the stages were pretty box-y in DOA5. Maybe they removed the candles in the top floor for that reason?

Regarding the boxy layout of the courtyard, did none of you guys consider that TN did this to have another tag stage? ;) All the new stages were always normal fighting stages, so adding a level in the newest one that could also pose as tag stage is imho a good idea.

Yes (not me though) and they are still always nagging on DOAs social media sites to have additional ones. It's similar to the devoted group of people demanding new/certain hairstyles and certain costumes of DOAs past. ;)
