I don't care how rock paper scissors DOA is, it's fun as hell and this just looks like it's gonna be even funner.
I saw my two favorite videogame ninja ever fighting on top of a collapsing building.
I do like Itagaki, I really do, and after Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 I was worried for the studio.
Between this, Dimensions, Ninja Gaiden 3, and even Other M which I liked, they're continuing to impress me and restore my faith.
Fuck yes, Team Ninja. Fuck yes.

Actually this isn't much new. DOA was the first 3D fighting game series to really push environment interaction and even in the first game the stages were more than mere backdrops. By the second game alone we had walls, multiple levels to a stage, breakable walls and floors and stuff that could change the layout of the stage. That bit at the end there, with Ryu hanging off - that was something originally intended for DOA4, the idea had been in one level in a tall tower that you could kick someone through a window and they'd be hanging on to the ledge and you could stamp on their hands to make them fall off, but it was deemed a little too dark and brutal at the time. I guess after the last Mortal Kombat game they might not worry so much about somebody falling hundreds of feet being considered too much.

How can anyone like Itagaki? He is a misogynist that only hurts his games with his degrading views of women.
Also, he isn't exactly a great innovator. The Ninja Gaiden series is fairly slick, but all it's gameplay mechanics were directly stolen from other games; it does nothing unique or original. Itagaki represents flash and shimmer with little substance. He is the Frank Miller of video games.

Don't know if I would call this freakin' nuts. Environment interaction in fighting games is not exactly new. I'm just hoping they simplify the counter system to be more like DOA 3 so us normal humans who don't play the game every day can enjoy the game.
And I call dibs on Hitomi.

Am I missing something?
Is there a reason why you still use springboard? I cant find any options to make it hd, and its not like we live in 2003 anymore. Its blurry as shit, and just looks terrible.
At least link to an HD version or the youtube... Here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5OtFlv66XBY, now you can watch it proper.

Haven't played it yet. Glad to hear it. I have to know now, was there an Aerosmith song in the game?

Hitomi's my girl!
I'm glad to see DoA back. I didn't really get into fighters until DoA4. It was simple for a novice like me to get into, and it led to me opening up to other fighting games.

Want want want want want. I'm more confident in this being good despite Itagaki's departure than I am about about Ninja Gaiden.
Great news! I've always liked the DOA series and am curious to see how post-Itagaki Team Ninja will handle the series.

I could care less about his personality and views regarding things that aren't videogames.
His design philosophy is rooted in the ideas of persistent, rewarding challenge, and surprising and compelling the player with unique moments.
Look at Ninja Gaiden 1 and 2- they had a completely awesome roster of enemies and some fun boss encounters at the total expense of logic and story cohesion. I'm fine with that; I don't play his games for the story.
He has hardcore players in mind when he tests something (or doesn't test it, in the case of MNM on NG2), and he likes a game that's plain fun to play in addition to being fun to look at.
And for the record I fucking love Sin City, even though the concept isn't original there, either. The execution was exactly what I wanted.

Oh dear God that looks more amazing than anything I could have imagined.
I love DOA, it's the only fighting game I can play and just have fun beating up the AI over and over. The 3DS release was solid, so I have high hopes for this.
Kasumi in even higher definition is enough to warrant a purchase.

Looks fucking awesome! always loved the DOA series for its fun and accessible gameplay. It's not deep, but dammit if it ain't fun. However I gotta say that DOA4 was kinda just more of the same and I got bored with it real quick. This looks to reinvigorate the franchise a bit. Looks like we're getting some crazy stages!
That looked nice. I've always enjoyed this series but felt like Dead of Alive 4 wasn't "next-gen" enough. This seems to rectify that problem.
I wouldn't hold my breath for any huge gameplay changes though.

DOA 2: Hardcore is probably my second favorite fighting game ever. It was so dynamic at the time that it made everything else feel sort of static.
This looks awesome. I can't wait.
And if we're calling characters, I'll take Ayane in a heartbeat. She has a mean streak that I like.

I've never been any good at DOA's, just button mash the shit outta it, BUT it always managed to be both infuriating, and amazingly fun...
after seeing dat izuna drop... dayum... gonna get this on my ps3 so me and the wifey can settle some differences with the dual arcade sticks I've got at home..
they really do know how to make beautiful looking fighting games.

A very misogynistic movie (though admittedly fun in its own stupid way) ... Maybe you just hate women?

Can't wait for this, 4 was weak but this looks interesting. Though I did like Lisa, she was very fun.
"He says that with this release DOA is longer just a fighting game. He calls it "fighting entertainment."
when will the nips learn that new buzzwords arent the same as a new game

Call me very intrigue with this concept video. Hope they'll try to get this on the Wii U as well, so there will be some sort of connectivity between DoA: Dimensions and DoA 5

I appreciate the personal attack, friend. It makes me feel like you care. Beyond that, I was referring to the original graphic novel, since that's what is often perceived as "unoriginal."
But yes, given that I clearly appreciate a man who makes videogames in spite of his other tendencies, and I also like the work of Frank Miller, such as Sin City and 300 (which he worked on with Lynn Varley, his wife), I must hate women. That's 100% clear from what I wrote.
All bullshit aside, I'm excited for DOA5.

Holy shit. I'm going to have to go with Free Touch here and ask; Is there something I can do to make the player look less like ASS?! It's so god awful. I'm not downloading/uploading yet it looks worse than the average YouTube video's quality.
I realize you guys have to make money but I would hope there's a partner out there with a HIGH QUALITY video player that isn't shit like Springboard's.
Hell, I'd even be willing to spring(heh) for Dtoid Premium Edition if I could(HD video links alone would be worth that).
