Ive been playing Dead or Alive since it originally came out on the Sega Saturn and Playstation, i really have enjoyed all of the Dead or Alive games and have played all of them and Owned most of them.

I love all of them and happy with the way the graphics have improved over each iteration of the game, but here is where my biggest complaint starts with the newer games.

While the Women of DOA are obviously beautiful and sexy (which is one of the reasons why Dead or Alive is so Awesome!) only their upper body looks realistic. Their Legs and feet is where they lack in detail and realism. YES! THEIR LEGS AND FEET!! it seems like their legs are a bit robotic and lack much grace and femininity of a woman. It would be awesome if Team Ninja could capture the curves, muscle tone, detail and grace of the entire lower female torso and incorporate it into their games. I feel like Team Ninja should step up the realism in the Dead or Alive and show us a new vision and a new level of realism we have never seen that only Team Ninja can deliver.

as a longtime DOA Fan i hope that the game will continue to innovate and improve on an already awesome experience. Knowing team ninja their next installment will probably reach a new level of realism and DOA will be at the top spot in the fighting genre once again!!

Cheers to Team Ninja!!

if this message can be passed on to team NINJA then cool, they will change it!
Hayashi is bringing change to NG and DOA while Itagaki is a single minded director who is bound to using the same method just like other directors/producers in Japan.

we can see the changes in DOAP already from the screen shots.

my beef with DOA games are the character designs, they look like dolls fighting especially the stupid eye design. Though I'm glad with DOAP, their face or eyes will have structure and emotion to them.


And you should know by now that Team NINJA doesn't care about body but breast. I want them to focus on their butt instead:P

When messing with the anime doe eye design, well I hope they don't muck it up too much. If you recall what Namco did to Xenosaga two gosh darn aweful. They had to shift back to the episode one design.

As for a butt jiggle, Soul Calber in the Dreamcast could do it so that would be childs play for our more powerful consoles (only thing weird is, in Soul Calibur 2 to 4, the butt jiggle got lost or was dropped, those jiggles were especially noticeable with Voldo and Astaroth (who also had a breast jiggle animation))

I wonder if team ninja even reads any of this stuff? It would be awesome if they did.

:sigh: people need to understand that Team NINJA are Japanese and they don't personally read this stuff:/

I don't know originally how this forum got started or if its even officially part of Tecmo. Since I do see it listed under Tecmo US site, the admin does reference people to seek help with faults for their game by going to the Tecmo site.

Some ideas that were brought up from this forum are perceived in the Team NINJA games. So by chance the researchers do see users comment and possibility suggest them to Team NINJA.

Whether or not you feel that Team NINJA reads this or not, they would still understand your opinion on their game since they always want feedback from users. And that should involve researchers from Tecmo browsing sites and boards and taking down notes on people's thoughts, critics, opinions and wishlist for their games.
