Hi all. Recently I was playing doa4 again and when I heard about doa5 a list of things that were wrong with the series started popping up in my head so I decided to make a top ten about it. Why you ask? Because I was bored and sometimes I make top tens just for the hell of it :P Anyway my friends thought it was funny and said I should post it so here we are. One of the posts on this forum said temco was looking for ideas so maybe this will help :P

Enjoy


Top Ten things in store for the next Dead or Alive game

Well Temco has announced that Dead or Alive 5 is in development and though not much information has been given about it, after looking at the last couple of games in the series we can easily see what is in store for DOA5.

10, Though planned to be released for the 10th anniversary of Dead or Alive it will actually be released for the 12th anniversary of DOA.

9, It will look and feel like DOA 3 and 4 with the only difference being that they will have ramped up the bloom lighting to 11.

8, It will be still called Dead or Alive even though no one ever dies... Even after falling 5 stories on their head, being electrocuted, run over or having suffered 20 kicks to the head , thrown into an exploding barrel and then have their neck snapped... Because we all know video games are violent enough as is.... why make them too realistic?

7, Because no ever dies the cast of cliché characters will continue to grow until the line-up resembles a Mortal Kombat game. Three new characters will be introduced... A red headed Russian girl, a kilt wearing Scotsman and since they had so much fun with the last game crossover the third character will be a level 65 gnome mage engineer that is arcane and fire spec'd (watch out for the exploding sheep Scotsman).

6, Fun bags, milk factories, jugs, hooters, knockers, stonking great tits!! You better believe they'll be spending most of their time working on breasts ignoring all other aspects of game play or character design. Following DOAX2 the breasts will be bouncer than ever and now can be used as weapons so long as your girl doesn't knock herself out with them... Sadly your girl's hair will still resemble party streamers and clip through your character like you're playing a bad 8bit video game.

5, The girls will look like big breasted porcelain dolls and will rip through any opponents on screen. The guys on the other hand will be useless unless they are Asian at which point they will all have super powered ninja skills capable of changing direction in midair and kick you 5 times before you hit the ground.. because you know... All Asian people can do that. While non-Asian men are of course big, slow moving, can't kick worth a damn and come out of the same cookie cutter.

4, The difficulty setting still won't mean a damn because the further you go in the story or survival trials the computer will quickly become cheaper blocking or countering every move you make with a 20 hit combination until it has you cursing to the sky "what kind of programming hack designed this!!!"

3, It will still be a button masher. Not because you don't have any video game skills and can't learn the moves but because the computer will rely more and more on cheap moves and block everything you throw at it forcing you to resort to randomly mashing buttons in hopes of scoring a hit before the computer kicks your ass to Narnia

2, The game will have online play. They are unimaginative.. not stupid.

1, The final boss will be the cheapest player the computer will control that will block your every hit, be capable of holds that will drain away half your life and be one of four possible things.... if not all of them.

A, A ninja or someone who would be capable of making Bruce Lee wear his own ass as a hat.
B, Some bizarre mythological creature from Japan.. like a dragon or Godzilla.
C, some genetic mistake gone wrong that now has the power to destroy the world.
or D.... A nuclear warhead that fires lasers at your character, drops miniature warheads from the sky and can only be disarmed by following the gods of war button mashing technique.

So there you are.. DOA5. Well at least there is another Soul Calibur game coming out.

I am glad they will keep the same breasts as in DOAX2. It gives the game some... some... bounciness. Because that 'G' has nothing do to with anything...

Wow that was a great list of ten and about half of it was right on the money. But you know as well as I do as soon as the new one comes out you will be playing it to. Maybe we just want to fight a nuke.

Well, I'm glad to know if there's plenty of bounciness in store for the next game. I think if there's anything else they should do, they should:

Bring back Gen Fu as more of a major player in the foreground.

As for Bass, he should just be in the background as an unlockable character. His feuds with Tina are tiresome.

Helena should be wearing that hot hairdo of hers loosely around her shoulders. The only time she needs to wear it in a ponytail is when she needs to powder her nose.

If Tecmo could work in all those ideas, that'd be great!

I would like to know any official tecmo contacts?So we can send our ideas to 'em?

Wow! You're really pretty good at this list crap. Pretty accurate... On a somewhat serious note, the physics of the last couple games have been terrible. They improved in four, but still sucked. I mean, how in the hell do you fly through the air, get kicked in the toe, stay airborne while you keep getting kicked, and then get grabbed and thrown by the head. Of course, how does a 120 pound chick pick up a 300 pound dude over her head and throw him 5 yards? But i guess, that's why it's a video game.

I hope Tecmo will add more costumes in DOA5 or add a character customization mode.I would love to make Helena a decent costume!

@MegaAnthony I hope so to. It would also be nice if we can have the chance to explore the character's homes.

Two things: Gen Fu!
And I think it'd be cool to play as Alpha 1-52

Some Co-Op would push TECMO to the next level.
DOA Double Impact !!!

*For PS3*

Who knows what the future will bring. Though I will say that if Tekken remains exclusive Microsoft might see that DOA does as well.

Bigger Stages.

Bigger Poly Model Characters.

Bigger Stages (like from the past, how could we go from large to small with DOA4 is beyond me).

Keep the knock through enviroments like 3.

Camera angle shifts for hard hitting moves.

Thats it. DOA5 is gonna ROCK!!!

I would like it if Gen-fu never return. I disliked him playing as him or against him. If it were up to me I'd leave him out of it or change the way he fights.

Umm number 8 on your list...you do know that the game was named Dead or Alive because the company was going to go bankrupt and that this game would decide if the company would be "Dead or Alive".

*Sigh* not gonna say anymore

Yes I did. I remember hearing that on G4TV. I wish I could find an original Dead Or Alive Arcade Machine. I think a few things in store would be more costumes,an RPG using the character you choose to train/fight,and a dating sim bonus game.
