I watched the video and it is nothing amazing. I believe fight games have reached their full limit and to distinguish this from any other fighter is impossible. I cant distinguish this from DOA4 or Tekken 4 for that matter, until photo realistic abilities are achieved I am done with fighters.

calderra6464d ago

The reason this looks like DOA is because this game is COMPLETELY copying DOA. I've played quite a bit of Tekken, and this looks nothing like Tekken to me.

Especially the first fight. Lion uses the exact same Snake style as Christie from DOA4 in points. His movements come in the same rhythm as Christie's. He even has the same combos in spots- there's a move where he ends up facing backwards, exactly as Christie would in her exactly same combo. His finishing move in both fights (double kick in the air) is even the a signature a Christie move. The chick he's fighting (lazy) has flowing robes... just like DOA4's Kokoro, who uses the exact same fighting style.

Up next is Gen Fu and Leifang. (Eileen?) uses lots of Leifang's big sweeping/roundhouse kicks. Gen Fu man has lots of big charging moves. The next fight's too one-sided to get a feel for comparisons.

All in all, I see no Tekken and lots of DOA4. Well, DOA4 with barely any counters or throws... so it's really more like a feature-stipped version of DOA4.

Then again, Tekken's always also had incredibly complex movelists that take more time to memorize than you'll actually spend playing the game. So the people playing here probably just haven't bothered to memorize any movelists and thus are working with the half-dozen moves you can manage to pull off without spending an hour experimenting with the controls.

by virtua fighter or tekken for that matter ne more. ever since i played doa 3 for the first time doa has been the best fighting game to me hands down. graphics wise it may not look that good but DOA4 gameplay wise owns every fighter out there. but as i was saying im not impressed by this game at all any more like i used to be. fighting games will begin to look better and better in the future but they might also just lose their gameplay egde becuase they are to worried about graphics. we'll just see what happens to the fighting genre in the next few years i guess.

THAMMER16465d ago

Looks alot like DOA. But I do like the colors they do not look as vivid a DOA but they are more earthy. To bad I will not ever own this game.

andy capps6465d ago

Hasn't this been out in arcades longer than DOA4? And if so, wouldn't it be more applicable that DOA4 looks like this? Neither are my cup of tea, but wanted to bring that up for the sake of argument.

LiquifiedArt6465d ago

to Say "Looks like DOA" is ridiculous, DOA is a newbie game, when virtua fighter has been out forever, and was the first 3d Fighter in the world.

2ndly, A fighting game is a fighting game, what do you want.. Seriously its a fighting game, a game that tests your skill, strategy,timing and execution against another players.

THAMMER16465d ago

Talk about hurt feelings man you should to chill. And why are you talking like that. Get real dude you do not run S#!t. You need to back up a few feet.

calidredz6465d ago

I could care which game came out first they all look alike. Who came first is a aspect that seems so miniscule to me, the point is they need to add more depth to fighters. I am no longer 16 yrs old.

What is?

Witcher III, Slay the Spire, Virtua Fighter 5, and Sonic Mania are an excellent lineup of titles to add.

Smok911085d ago (Edited 1085d ago )

Lol thanks for your thoughts. Let’s now collectively disagree.

waderae1085d ago

How can you disagree with virtua fighter 5? You haven't played it. It's not out.

Hawk1986661085d ago

All the disagreeing are fools. You thinking adding a 6yrs old game thats timed, that's on sale nearly all the time for cheap is a great addition as the main game?? 2 of the games are previous PS+ games so a lot will already have them. And Virtua Fighter nearly everyone will already have that through plus! You're all Clueless

SegaSaturn6691085d ago

Those are great titles. Real treat.

Rocosaurus1085d ago

Love witcher 3, but that game is six years old.

Eidolon1085d ago

Great great game. Would need another playthrough (Gwent and horse racing) to get the platinum, plus I never bought/played the expansions.

monkey6021085d ago

Slay the Spire is an incredible game

Highrevz1085d ago

Agreed but I almost slept on it if I’m honest.

It’s like a traditional turn based RPG without the dramatic story. Monster Train is another good game if you need something similar to Slay the Spire.

monkey6021085d ago

I've heard that actually. Not played it yet though. Good shout!

I'd love to see Sega bring back Eternal Champions.

BlackTar1871531d ago

Why is there no Star Gladiator or Battle Arena Toshinden?

Terry_B1531d ago

Because the other 10 mentioned series were better. Star Gladiator 2 was just the first part with more characters, Battle Arena Toshinden went really downhill after the 2nd game.

BlackTar1871531d ago (Edited 1531d ago )

o got it. Cause you said those games aren't as good... Got it.

since Battle 1&2 were pretty damn good and Star Gladiator 1 was very good those sound like perfect games to remake.

Also saying a fighting game is the same as it's predecessor with more characters sums up like 90% of all sequel fighting games.

Also BA3 was not a bad game and wasn't given a bad reception.

Skuletor1531d ago (Edited 1531d ago )

I think licensing is one of the major reasons Fight for NY hasn't been ported, since its original release. Def Jam had a poll on their Twitter a year or two ago asking if people would be interested in a new entry to the series. A surprise next gen release with AKI developing it would be cool

Silly gameAr1531d ago

Definitely yes to Weaponlord, Bloody Roar, Rival Schools, Power Stone, Bushido Blade, Darkstalkers, and the Def Jam games. I was really big into fighting games when I was younger. I would Like Primal Rage, B.A,T., and Eternal Champions to come back as well.

BlackTar1871531d ago

Primal Rage was good. There was also another game that was kinda like Weaponlord that I used to really like but I can't remember the name.

Ready to Rumble was cool back int he day as well

Ninver1531d ago

Rival schools and virtual fighters

Ask Sega. All of Yu's games haven't gotten updates. And they aren't helping to bring Shenmue 3 to console and PC. Spent most of their time on Sonic and Yakuza. Like they forgot the man that got them started. He was the "Miyamoto of Sega." Too many hits under hits belt.

VF is one of the best if not the best, technical fighters around based on real fighting styles. No supers, no finishers,etc. I wish there wasn't any juggling. It was fun as a videogame mechanic but I would like full realism for a fighting game. It's like adding nos to Gran Turismo. Would be fun. Just doesn't fit the realism Kaz wants in his game of winning through skill and perseverance.

I'm hoping for a new Sega surge of games in and out of VR and more respect for Yu and his properties. It's just not the same Sega I grew up with though.

As a side thing, Sega could have even updated Last Bronx to a modern fighter like Namco did with Soul Blade to Soul Calibur.

But they've sat on that too.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1767d ago

I 100% agree with what you said about VF. As someone who use to play VF5 at a high level I want nothing more than VF6 however, I’m scared to see what would happen to VF in this day and age of super meters, rage bars and 100 hit combos.

SierraGuy1767d ago

Exactly...I love Tekken but I love VF a little bit more.

tulholdren1767d ago (Edited 1767d ago )

Loved me some VF wish they would update the game i still remember my first Jeffery power bomb on VF 1.

PhoenixUp1767d ago

What happened to a lot of Sega’s classic franchises?
