Dead or Alive 5 DLC Ending This Year; Developers Prepare for the Future

Dead or Alive 5: Last Round is one of the games with the most DLC of the history of the industry, but all good things come to an end.

Finally! Can we get a new installment now? I'm just afraid the base game will be very bare bones because they will want to sell all the content separately.

[darthv72]

Id love to see a new Virtua Fighter as well as Soul Calibur. Maybe a crossover pitting VF vs DoA vs Tekken

[Nintendew]

Soul Calibur!
Dream crossover game, Marvel vs Capcom vs Final Fantasy.

[INMATEofARKHAM]

I would love to have new installments of Soul Calibur and Virtual Fighter!

But with those installments being so rare to happen I would prefer if they just focused on making them great... Not gimmicky.

(I honestly feel like maybe the last great SC was III. SCIV was decent but I felt the inclusion of Star Wars characters hurt it.)

@Nentendew

Mine would be FF and DOA.:)

Considering what Monty Oum did who could that not be seen as awesome?

[Army_of_Darkness]

They probably made enough money from all those dlc skins they released that they can afford to even make DOA 6! ... I want them to make a DOA game with full story mode(like an RPG) using samurai warriors type of map and gameplay :)

[rainslacker]

That's my concern too. however, they apparently made quite a bit of money off the DLC over all these years, so maybe they'll realize that so long as they don't go backwards on the initial included content then they'll be alright to do it all over again.

DOA5 was great IMO, and I'd hope the next game would have the same amount of content. The original wasn't exactly provide a huge number of additional outfits, but at least all the female characters had one unique and additional skin beyond the easy to get few standards you'd expect in any fighting game.

[addictedtochaos]

I bought DOA 5 on everything but refuse to support their DLC practices.

[jaymacx]

Hundreds of dollars of cosmetic DLC. I do like the added characters though.

[blackblades]

About F***ing time, hopefully when doa6 hit they don't do the same for that. What a waste of time.

[INMATEofARKHAM]

I agree that it seemed like a waste of time... but with how long it went on I imagine it wasn't a waste of money.

[blackblades]

Yeah, hope they use the money wisely.

[TheHan]

Yeah this was the worst I’ve played content wise sense it was all very pricey. Would love to play a soul caliber.

[Derceto]

lol How the hell anyone throws even a penny at this s**t company, is well beyond me. KT is the Activision of Japan. And that's saying alot, as SquareEnix is in Japan too, but KT slightly beats them out for s**tbox game companies of Japan.

[CrimsonWing69]

Geezus it'll cost you $1000ish to get the full game.

[KaoSouL]

So the rumors of DOA 6 being announced at NEC this December are probably true...

[level 360]

They need to overhaul Extreme Beach and make it into a sort of mix of Ninja Warrior ( TV show ) and Battle Royale ( cult Japan movie ). It would definitely fit the "Extreme" bill and then add more tearing clothing-to-nude w/ blood sim. Tweak and redesign the characters a bit.. add more hips and bum and not just concentrate on boobs.

[ApocalypseShadow]

About time. Most disgusting use of dlc and micro transactions ever. As much as I liked and purchased the old games, I refused to buy this game and lost all respect for it.

[Bolts]

Awesome. Can’t wait to buy the complete edition with all the dlcs for $300.

[Matrix6]

I wonder if they'll release a Definitive Edition including all the dlc released on ine disc. Haha, nit that I'd be interested.

[EnsignHiro]

About time! Can we please have a new ninja gaiden and Doa please? not talking about the doa mobile game either but a proper console doa game would be nice.
