It looks like the inclusion of old tunes from Dead or Alive 2 to 4 in DOA5 Ultimate’s BGM Customize mode wasn’t the only thing Team Ninja revealed at a public hands-on and talk session held today in Tokyo’s Ikebukuro ward.
According to Famitsu’s report of the same event, the 3D fighting game developer also revealed today that the new release will allow up to four players (playing from four different consoles over the Net) to fight concurrently in its 2v2 online tag mode.
The only other fighting game on current-gen platforms that supported this feature was Capcom’s Street Fighter X Tekken.
Although Tekken Tag Tournament 2 did feature online pair play, the feature was limited in the sense that two players on the same team had to play from the same console – in other words, each team of two players had to be playing from the same PS3 or X360.
Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate launched 10 years ago today, and demonstrates why we need a new edition of the series.
Originals are great, but know what's even more special? When a remake comes out and tops it. Sometimes, things are better the second time around, and these seven games prove it!
Mai Shiranui from The King of Fighters will be added to Dead or Alive 5: Last Round in September as a DLC guest character, but she will actually be playable today in Tokyo for a location test on Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate: Arcade.
Omg yes. This is what I wanted in the original Doa5 and with this game free 2 play. The community going to be alot larger. Im so hyped for this game. I can't wait for it to come out.
A related Fun-Fact for fight game fans.
Ed Boon and Team MK actually originally came up with the concept for this back in like 2002/3. Originally Mortal Kombat Deception was meant to be 2v1, 2v2 or 1v1v1v1 online, just like the opening movie of Deception with Raiden fighting both Quan Chi and Shang Tsung. They talk about it in some of the the making of videos you open in The Krypt, and they have the concept art and even some of the work when they were trying to make it happen technically.
Obviously back then on that hardware it couldn't happen logistically so they just went back to regular 1v1.
I honestly expected Team MK to be the first to actually do it, since they were thinking about it so long ago, but they seemed to drop the concept. Looks like Team Ninja beat them to it.
