DOAX2, huh? Lemme see....

...*can' t speak*...

*shoves pic of Jerry the King Loller' s face in front of own*
Look at all the PUPPIES!

*jaw returns to normal*
Still looking like anime girls though.

You wa Shock!!!

Here' s one better, a youtube version http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_nK3kj2h3yo&search=DOAX2%20

That looks poorer to me, whiteguysamurai.

You wa Shock!!!

But it' s not 100+ megs.

As per Itagaki' s requests, the video has not been altered, compressed, or effected in any way.

..you' ll be doing yourself a disservice if you don' t d/l Team Ninja' s proper version, dude....

....i have to say though, the character models seem rather lacking in places.... ...they seem to come across as too doll like....

...hmmmm...

...is it me or do they look almost exactly the same as the three year old xbox version, but with improved mammary physics?...

...and TN still seem unable to do long hair properly....

...but this is an early build right?.....

Aaaw! Can' t they ever make a video game with only bishounen in it Uh, not actually YOU Bishounen But come on! Prancy pretty sexy girls, fine, but give us ladies something to ogle at

LOL,
I don' t see that happening.
If you want to see dudes that look like chicks, play final fantasy.

...the majority of people who make games are male, so i' m afraid fan-girl service will be pretty rare....

...but then again... ..as video games become a greater part of accepted popular culture, i' d imagine female needs being... ...' attended' to more often in the future....

Final Fantasy is a prime example of female fan-service! Cloud, Sephiroth, Vincent, Squall, Zell, Seifer, Irvine, Sora, Roxas, Leon (Squall), AC Cloud, AC Sephiroth!! You think they made effeminate bishounen men for the guys (okay, considering it' s Japan, that' s not really farfetched!)

But, female needs seem only to be addressed in the RPG genre. Definitely an all-time low in other areas T_T;;; Except ' cute' games, which guys do play as much.

I believe somewhere ... while back Itagaki mention with comments concerning the visual look of Dead or Alive 4, and future DOA works, that while the features and gameplay increase with power of technology... the DOA girls simply will not be changed any further for some [stupid] original look that can' t be altered less old renditions discern graphical aging blah blah blah..

in other words.. interactivity *thumbs up*, features *thumbs up*, gameplay *thumbs up*.... but NO FREAKING UPGRADE TO CHAR LOOKS.

I' ll be the first in line NOT to buy this piece of crap. Doll-like girls with bowling-ball shaped boobs playing with each other while squeaking out voices that are several octaves above most people' s hearing range? Oh yeah. I' d rather just buy a real hooker or real porn.

What Itagaki meant was there really isn' t that much more detail to add because he wants them to look perfect. More detail would be mostly adding blemishes to their skin, wrinkles, hair not on the head and other stuff.

I downloaded the trailer on my 360 and watched in high def. When you view them from a distance they don' t look much different than on xbox 1 but as you get closer you can tell they are way more detailed. Mostly how they' re muslces and stuff move more realistic and look more realistic and their boobs.

I wanna play this game for the laughs but I don' t want to buy it because it would be too embarrasing lol. I' m gonna try to trick one of my friends into buying it. It actually looks pretty fun like it has tons of new mini games and stuff, we' ll see.

"If you knew how good I am you would think I'm modest."

i actually managed to get a local drug dealer addicted to teh first game! He was playing through for every costume!! It was so funny, no-one dared say a word about how dogy it was!

Still im sure there will be plenty less cartoon-like mature, real looking women for nlokes to ogle at in other games LOL.

I take it Itagki wont see the girls grow up get maried, divorced, get old,. turn to drink when their breast start to sag / or are too old to play volleybal or kick each others asses or see sims style gameplay develop LOL.

Acccchhh as if the doa4 movies weren' t pervy enough itagaki-san probably would help the game if he didn' t look like such a pervert himself....and why does he always have the shades?. Anyway I don' t think that it' s important to the story line so I won' t be getting it it' s stuff like that aswell that makes the game looke like a joke to people who haven' t played it.

I downloaded the trailer on my 360 and watched in high def.

The trailer is only in 480p.

He might have a CRT though

In which case, better than most LCD at 720p

Call me weird, but i liked the first game.
And because of the chinadoll boobies.
I liked how you could turn off your brain and just vedge out, while kasumi bounced around.
So many games are all about challenging you to the point of you throwing the controller in anger, it' s nice to be entertained.

I' ll be the first in line NOT to buy this piece of crap

I' ll be the second then - How stupid you have to be to play this game with those plastic dolls and get excited?

.....OMG!!! ....i just found out that the DOAX trailer posted above is ALL INGAME FOOTAGE!!...

....i thought they had spliced it with cut-scenes ... ...but apparently, it' s ALL actual gameplay!!!.....

...you know at the beginning with Kasumi in that pink Bikini? ...with her hair blowing across her face? ....i though that part was definitely CGI, but it' s not!....

...you can see the quality better when you compare stills between it and the original doax:













...check out the lighting, water and self shadowing effects in this work in progress!... ...and (in case you didn' t notice) this is the worlds first ever game to feature ' independent mammary physics' !!...

....TEAM NINJA FTW!!!!!

lol yeah I can' t wait my roomate is buying it, it didn' t take much to convince him, he is just gonna buy it online so its not embarrassing.

"If you knew how good I am you would think I'm modest."

Lol, I laughed when I saw this video. Didn' t see it on the show floor but MS had it on their private bus. The bus also featured Jenny McCarthy who happened to sit next to me for a bit. Lol, I win.

Ditto - I loved the first game, it is very relaxing and it has a real charm that most other games don' t have. It doesn' t take itself too seriously. The actual volleyball is simplistic but nonetheless addictive and satisfying

Well I just watched the video from the opening post, and meh... it looks a bit better than the 2003 Xbox game but not enough to blow me away.

a bit better

I' ve been told my eyes are better than average but just a little bit better!?

It blows the old one away.

"If you knew how good I am you would think I'm modest."

DOA 2 blew away DOA 1... every DOA since then has been a relatively minor improvement over the last, IMHO.

You must be the exception then.

To *dirtydog* I think the main changes you get with every other doa installment is slightly more features and a bit more of the story (which kinda felt shorter this time). The gapr betweent 1 and 2 on the dc was a lot evident 3 was ok and I think 4 was rushed a bit but it was still good.

I agree, but I think Team Ninja are becoming lazy with DOA in terms of pushing the series foward, both with gameplay and graphics. Mainly with the graphics though, as the Jump between DOA3 to 4 is much less impacting between say VF4 to VF5 or VF3 to VF4, same for Tekken 4 to 5.

I would say that VF has gotten a bit laid-back with it' s lastest addition to progressing but then again this time Sega have been doing gradual but noticeable jumps in between (VF4 to VF4 Evo and Final Tuned), with VF5' s leap being greater than VF4 to Final Tuned.

Anyway enough me talking about VF.

Tecmo should really take DOA a step further with the 5th installment, add better texturing to the characters skin (without making them age etc) and most of all have more realistic, thinking AI like (not again, VF Evo quest mode) so it' s not cheap but geniunly challenging as you have to evolve your playing style. All whilst keeping the overall DOA feel to things.

It' s just a little game guys...

Honestly if you get excited (or intimidated) over the little bit of fan service in Itagaki' s games, you need to watch more porn. You' re wayyy too sensitive.

I loved the first one because of it' s relaxed feel primarily and it' s entertaining visuals.
It' s nice to play a QUALITY game that' s simply fun to play, without the pressure of saving the world again or winning yet another tournament.
Itagaki-san and his team put together a truly unique and entertaining game. Too bad he has to put up with critics who are offended by the slightest bit of fan service.

Fan service? What are you talking about? I don' t like it because it is a crap game. It has nothing to do with the fans. If that was the case I' d hate pretty much every game that sold more than 112 copies.

By fan service i meant the jiggling boobies and scantily clad women the harshest critics of the game usually attack.

My comments were more for the guy who made the " excited" comment. Your quote just kinda got lumped in there.

Hey, er I' m just on board for the volleyball aspect, but now they have added
jetski' s... WOOOH!!! Wave Racer as a mini-game! And tug of war, and
hopefully like they did in the original, there should be an unlockable trailer
of Ninja Gaiden 2..

NINJA GAIDEN 2!!!!!! ARRRRGH!!

...great comments monkey, DOAX was probably ex-box' s greatest underrated game....

...most thought that it was purely a shallow excuse to exploit digital T & A, when in actual fact it was an excursion in relaxation, collection and inter-relationships... ....that' s probably why girls love the game just as much as guys....

....unless ure old, bad tempered and ain' t getting any ofc...

Yeah it is kinda funny that girls like the game. I kinda thought it was just because they liked volleyball though. (for the ones I played with)

"If you knew how good I am you would think I'm modest."

I like girls in DoA fighting games , but I wouldn' t get a crappy game like XBV just to watch their boobs bouncing (- the game itself is crap IMO)

I don' t think we' re to sensitive - I think you need to go out more often :)
