Some rather confusing messages have been sent out by the Dead or Alive series team at a recent tournament, with game director Yohei Shimbori seemingly implying that there might not be a new Dead or Alive game for quite some time – a disappointing assumption that has enraged a handful of fans.
It was announced that support and DLC for Dead or Alive 5 will finally be coming to an end after 5 years, news that naturally had many hyped up for a potential new entry in the series – however, this anticipation transformed into rage, for some:
Those online had some choice words for the development team:
“Motherfucker, this better mean they’re working on DOA6.”
“How are you going to hype your fanbase up for an announcement and then pretty much kill their hopes in dreams. Not even Capcom is stupid enough to do that LOL”
“What future?”
“Are they going to stop the Xtreme Volleyball series too? Please No!”
“Seriously, what future are you talking about Team Ninja? You stabbed me and millions of fans of your fighting game franchise in the heart with this announcement.”
“Disappointed that Team Ninja gave false hope to so many loyal fans and just left DOA dead. I only played this game for 3 years and I’m completely heartbroken and betrayed.”
“Wow pathetic no wonder they made all those DLCs just so they can grab as much as they can to fill their pockets. The game has NOT been the same ever since the last director left…”
“Half a decade and all they’ve been doing really is making new skins for models in a video game and charging insane bullshit prices for them, and they’re claiming they have to figure out what they’re going to do next?”
“So they’re just gonna kick the fans in the nuts and then run away with their pockets full? LOL i don’t even…”
Whether or not Dead or Alive 6 will surface anytime soon is now terrifyingly uncertain…
oh lord, who the f♥♥k cares? Well judging by the comments I should be asking WHY do you care? If you’re not happy with the way they are doing things, then why the f♥♥k would you be upset that they think they need to reevaluate their business?
Why is it a problem if they stop making DLC for the last game or whatever? No game is constantly receiving DLC AFAIK. Can’t you just continue playing the game with what you have, it’s just a fighting game.
Also I don’t have to say this but you’re not entitled to a sequel. Whether you bought DLC or not, there was never a guarantee only a possibility that buying stuff could endorse a sequel.
pshh…good…there are a lot of very good fighting games out there both 2d and 3d that deserves more attention IMO…
You know with all that money milked from all those lonely guys with their Season passes and BOOBloads of DLC they can make the Dead or Alive franchise into a new game that can contend competitively with the likes of Tekken, Streetfighter, Killer instinct, Injustuce etc.
I really like the game being as a Virtua Fighter-esque scrapper with jiggly bits…but when I don’t say it out to other people because of its stigma being a dress up game with fighting mechanics in it…and don’t get me started with the Xtreme Beach spn-off series…some people go to such heights to call it Porn…lmao…
Get your s♥♥t together itagaki and co… I hope this interim would make you see that the novelty of bouncing breasts gets old really fast…polish the game engine…develop new systems that will make the game feel competitive and more fun to play without getting rid of its core mechanics (aka the counters)…and hopefully people will take you more seriously next time…
konami made this mistake and the company is now a shell of its former self when they did the exact same things, and team ninja is going to find out & learn that very painful lesson THE HARD WAY ON PISSING AT YOUR FANBASE !
could you imagine if capcom decided to pretty much end the street fighter franchise? it WILL turn really ugly in a hurry with their fans and “Not even capcom is that suicidal to ever try that!”
its possible they might do a complete reboot of the whole franchise.
however i fear this announcement which more or less officially the franchise’s death sentence is really going to bite them in the ass AND in their wallets, cause from now on or until a new DOA game is out, any new game they make will probably be boycotted in sheer protest.
