Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate director hints at possible next-gen console port

Last week at E3 2013, I had the opportunity to speak with Dead or Alive 5 director Yohei Shimbori of Team Ninja about the upcoming iteration of his game, DOA5 Ultimate. When I asked him about a port of the game to the upcoming next-generation consoles, he hinted at such a possibility.

... like they did last gen (DOA3 on Xbox: DOA4 on current gen)

Personally, I didn't buy DOA5 because of the DLC milking, but I've been enjoying it through PSN+ and it's a very nice fighter.

If they manage to release a complete version (including all DLC) for next gen, at a decent price. I would probably buy it.

The DLC is cosmetic, overpriced, but cosmetic. Nothing in the way of extra characters or levels you have to buy. I only get the stuff they offer for free myself. Actually really enjoy the game.

There is no DLC milking in DOA5. It only exists if you tend to milk your wiener in front of this game.
It's only cosmetic DLC which you can use to support makers of such great game or do not give a damn.
I fail to see fellow gamer a serious dude if he makes non-educated statement as such.

You are not losing anything by ignoring it, but sure you are an arse by not supporting such a great sequel(failure to support great game equals to failure as a gamer to me). One of the most fun fighters this gen IMO.

And I play fighting games for quarter of an century.

It needs a Pro patch. I started it but since I knew Pro was coming I’m going to start over. The game is good (and challenging which I really like) but it needs some more power to fix some of it’s performance issues. I think the engine isn’t great but with PSSR and more power it should run a lot smoother

just_looken235d ago

No they need to fix the current mess a base ps5 should be getting locked 60fps with this game.

This is Rise of the Ronin vs Ghost of Tsushima video in it you can see how much ronin copied ghost yet one is 30fps the other 60fps and ghost has better graphics.

Good because it needs it badly. The combat is excellent but the graphics are awful.

Team Ninja Doesn't Get Enough Credit For Its Stories

Saad from eXputer: "Team Ninja's stories may not appeal to everyone due to their barebones nature but they deserve credit for being fun."

mastershredder454d ago (Edited 454d ago )

Exputer dude says Team Ninja needs more credit for their stories (what their known for) and credit for being fun (also known for challenging and fun gameplay). Team Ninja gets a LOT of credit. That's why they keep making games. You just can't expect everyone to award them the attention-level and regard that you think they deserve.

"I’m aware that some things are often not for everyone. Not because someone is actively gatekeeping but due to the product or premise failing to appeal to the masses" - Hmmm l dunno, sounds kinda like we are about to go for a cruise down gatekeeper blvd to me.

Takeaway, Exputer as a pimple gaming journal site that should not be concerned about the recognition standards of a studio they have zero involvement in. You perspective is outsider and totally disconnected from reality as far as how the industry sees them.

Takeaway 2, Exputer is only in about a generation deep into Team Ninja. Posers. Take your gate keepy BS and shove it. We know what makes team ninja great and they are doing just fine doing what THEY do.

Knightofelemia454d ago

Every branch under Koei Tecmo is talented I am a big fan of theirs no matter what the game is or who makes it.

GoodGuy09454d ago (Edited 454d ago )

I thought Nioh 1+2's stories were fine, nothing amazing but they kept me interested. William and the Protag in 2 were pretty cool. Wo Long was ok I guess but it just felt like another retelling of the three kingdoms again which we've seen told so much in video games and especially dynasty warriors.

ROCKY28454d ago

Where is a new DEAD OR ALIVE !!!!
That is the only game we care about from Team Ninja 😂

Team Ninja say Rise of the Ronin will have multiple difficulty options

Rise of the Ronin's difficulty options include Narrative, Intermediate and Hard. As the name suggests, Narrative mode is for players who just want to experience the story without any serious combat. Intermediate is your standard medium difficulty that will provide some challenge while Hard is in line with Team Ninja's previous games like Nioh and Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty.
