There really isn't a difference

Stiffler3353d ago

I definitely couldn't notice much of a difference. DOA 5 on next gen (current gen) looked pretty grainy and unoptimised to be honest.

Quite disapointing, I was really tempted to pick this up as I haven't played it for a good few years since back on 360.

Pass.

dcj05243353d ago

Skin is better on next gen

HammadTheBeast3353d ago

You can get the free version Core Fighters, its a pretty good demo.

Army_of_Darkness3353d ago

LMFAO!! most perverted comparison ever! Hahaha!

Anyhow, I don't really see a difference aside from the next gen versions being a little smoother looking.

Yi-Long3353d ago

Just for the ridiculous DLC-milking (AGAIN!!!) it's an automatic pass for me.

If I do ever decide to pick it up, I'll make sure to buy it 2nd hand. I don't want greedy Team Ninja getting ANY of my money.

As far as the mext-gen 'upgrade' is concerned: Yet another lazy HD-port. Nothing more.

Team Ninja has really gone down the dumps after Itagaki left.

hay3352d ago (Edited 3352d ago )

No wish to offend but that's a ridiculous overstatement.
Base DOA5 included the most costumes than any fighting game ever, has solid fight moves and strategies to use, combo system is best of any 3d fighting game, contains satisfactory amount of modes and characters which Tekken required separate games for, and added more of it as optional DLC and that's a problem?
This isn't your Destiny or Mass Effect with cut out content. There are even community costumes.

Are you buying those bubbles through microtransaction or just having a long day?

I will get them all. I've been waiting for proper DOA game since the second one, and 5th hits the spot.

What's worrying that they might reduce this generosity in DOA6 cause phony whiners of your kind.

FullmetalRoyale3353d ago

Yeah, I prefer muscly arms and pectorals.

Preferably completely shirtless.

Stiffler3353d ago (Edited 3353d ago )

Did someone say...muscly?

^^^^^
shhhhht, every time when i see that, man... that's so gay.

ICANPLAYGAMES23353d ago

Based on, if you are upgrading to current gen., and don't plan on keeping your previous gen. console, but still want to have this game (or have a current gen. console, never had it or the previous consoles). Otherwise, why bother?

ICANPLAYGAMES23353d ago

Whether it is worth upgrading to the current (next) gen. version. I guess I was just saying, not really in my own convoluted, mouth-breather way, lol. Isn't this pretty much the Ultimate version currently available for PS3?

Shineon3353d ago

Let's just face it ps4 and x1 aren't as powerful as we expected. We could pretend that they are a huge step above ps3 and 360 but we would be lying to ourselves.

Qrphe3353d ago

How old were you when the PS3 and 360 came out? I'm asking this because I felt the same way about those consoles when they came out (and I wasn't really wrong tbh).

TeaDouble_E3353d ago

More like developers not taking advantage of next Gen hardware just to cash in on sales. I'm glad I didn't buy this

HammadTheBeast3353d ago

Order 1886, enough said. It can match most mid-high end PC games with ease.

d3nworth13352d ago

This game has nothing to do with the how powerful the PS4 and XB1 are. It is a lazy port or a 3 year old game. The ps4 and XB1 can do much better than this. The fact that there are other more demanding games that achieve the same resolution and framerate are proof.

Didn’t Expect To See You Here: 5 Influential Fighting Game Guest Characters

Trevor Walker said: Fighting games have always been able to simultaneously experiment and innovate while staying true to their roots in the best of ways. Mechanics change, crossovers take place, and evolution occurs. One of the best examples of all three can be seen in the coveted guest character.

Dead or Alive 5 - 10 Years of Free-to-Play

Dead or Alive 5 debuted 10 years ago today, ushering in a new era of AAA free-to-play gaming which has since become commonplace.

Glemt578d ago

I really wish "free-to-play" got a different name. Because, yeah, you can play (part of) the game for free, but then they hypercharge you for DLC. Nearly 1000 credits to get all the DLC? Damn.

neutralgamer1992577d ago

Exactly give me a complete bundle

MadLad577d ago

You get the fighting game.
They make you pay for the bikinis and booty shorts.

ApocalypseShadow577d ago

Worse decision ever for the gamer. Over emphasis on fan service nonsense and micro transactions than making a great fighting game.

Use to love the game as a Virtual Fighter offshoot and competitor to VF and Tekken. Won't touch this current incarnation with a 10 foot pole. You know there was something wrong when they tried to charge for hair color.

spicelicka577d ago

I wish it wouldn't be called "fan service" anymore. It's of service to no one, it's just exploiting our perverted nature blatantly, but then again people who fall for it can't really complain.

MadLad577d ago

Exactly.
People complain about the dlc, but you get the actual game.
You're paying to look at their bodies.

Silly gameAr577d ago

I have no problem whatsoever with the fanservice. My problem was the endless, expensive packs of pointless costumes that people loved to buy apparently.

lucian229577d ago

Don't be a cry baby. Go play another game if you don't like fan service. Not every game needs to be woke trash.

DOA only fell because of overpriced dlc

Silly gameAr577d ago

Not every comment needs to bring up woke when there is no wokeness going on. I wish they would ban the word woke from the face of the planet.

lucian229576d ago (Edited 576d ago )

You sound "woke" yourself, crying and wanting more cancel culture. That's the problem with you people, you don't like something and just want to cancel it.

Woke is now a day a synonym for social justice Warrior. It's people who cry that something is offensive and use cancel culture to destroy something they don't like...... Sorry but it applies when people complain about boobs

isarai577d ago (Edited 577d ago )

Do people really not realize there was a full release of this game? I've seen this pop up a few times and it always baffles me that people talk as if DOA5 was only F2P. I still have the Last Round disc that includes all characters, maps and most outfits

HeliosHex577d ago

Truly the best in the series. If you only want one DOA this is the one to get right here.

The 10 Most Expensive Microtransactions And DLC In Games, Ever

From Xfire: "Remember when you'd buy a game and... that was it? You got the full experience by purchasing the full product one time. "

potedude1124d ago

Damn, Train Simulator is costing the big bucks. That game is kinda fun but not if you purchase all the DLC.

Relientk771124d ago

I will never understand why people pay for this crap.

Master of Unlocking1120d ago

"All the DLC - Train Simulator 2020, $10,145"

No wonder we're witnessing an increasing number of ports from PC to consoles, you can't nickel and dime PC owners with all their mods over there, lol

"Legatus Pack - Star Citizen $27,000"

Ouch!

Planet Calypso - Entropia Universe, $6,000,000

WTF...?!
