As far as I can tell from the new screenshots, it's an even more perfected version of the console build.
Looks like they've been able to include self-shadowing (INSANE) while still preserving 60fps. And the screens look native res - not even the console versions achieved native resolution.
In sum, Team DOA >>>> whatever laughable cohort of incompetents Hayashi pretends to manage.

Those are really Vita DOA screens? :O
When this app is released here we'll never get things like this and the Hatsune Miku crossover.

Same, or at least knew other people who did. It sounds like a very deep Vita game.
Did Tecmo Koei mention anything about the digital version having free DLC at launch?

I posted this in the sales thread, but wanted to share with my Vitabros:
Just some anecdotal evidence, I arrived in Shinjuku last night and hit up the Softmap. Place was sold out of Vitas and Soul Sacrifice. There was a huge display with a demo of the game running. About a dozen people were glued to the TV. Will take a picture today of the Vita stuff in Shinjuku and Akihabara.
The one awesome thing about Vita in Japan is the awesome selection of cases. Going to pick up one or two tomorrow. Still debating on the silver Vita.

Nope. But NGS2+ digital have the DLC (that was also Gamestop exclusive), so DOA5+ should have the DLC as well.
Hoping for a sale on the remaining outfits as well.

Those DoA screens look great.
Good to hear SoulS seems to be doing well in JPN. I wonder how well the console bundle sold.

Thanks,keep us updated. I can feel a lot of people not wanting this game to sell systems. I hope it becomes a major hit just to see some people eating crows.
Anyway vitabros when is DOA suppose to come out out west?

Holy crap, I don't like fighting games that much, but......wow. Usually I prefer vita screens to be quoted for a more accurate representation but these hold up really well even blown up on my 15" laptop screen. I thought I quote your entire post just so people will have an even better representation of what it will look like on the Vita.
Someone mentioned a while ago that Sony should buy MarvelousAQL if Soul Sacrifice is a success, and that's unlikely. MAQL is too big, and while Sony can buy them I'm not sure MAQL's share holders would like it. Their biggest franchises are Harvest Moon, and Rune Factory. Both of which do not sell very well on PlayStation platforms.
It adds the hooks for the DLC IIRC. Kat from Gravity Rush, and new courses.

My post from the official thread:
Turn-based Challenge Mode now available (Asynchonous message play - Friends only. Supported on both Wi-Fi and 3G)
4-player stroke mode multiplayer rooms now available
Game Balance adjustments (Impact zone on tee shot now gives more room for error - based on impact stat)
New Visual Lobby online
*New items available (3 new courses and characters Gloria, Kat and Erika)
Changes to how you get items (?)
Real tournament award specifications changed
Daily International Tournament specifications changed
Other fixes
* Placeholders - they're not purchasable yet.
The first one is the biggie. Can't believe it's taken this long
Well, they never tried on the PS3 and Vita. Maybe Rune Factory 4 would sold more on the Vita, seeing Senran Kagura and Demon Gaze numbers. Who knows?
I doubt it, lol.
Cool, I'll have to check out some videos later, quoting this post as a reminder.
then you need to play Virtua Tennis 4, that game is pure portable sex for the eyes (native res,60fps,4xAA look great on screenshots and running Vita screen) it's just really depressing that it's a launch title and nothing to this day ( a year later) can even touch its greatness.
I hope so, because I'm buying it digitally. If I had to pre-order at Gamestop to get the cheerleader outfits, they can blow me. >:|

Yep, I loved VT 4 on the Vita. It looks and runs great but in the end it is a Tennis court, a net, and at most 4 tennis players on the screen, oh and a ball. DOA screens are a lot more impressive given how much more is going on in those screens. Of course you could say it is just 2 fighters on a backround, but it is a full 3D backround with a lot more happening in that background and even the fighters themselves.
VT4 suffers from what any sports game would suffer from and that is there is no art style to heighten the visual appearance.
It's a shame they took so long to get this update out... in the last 3-4 months the HSG on-line community has gotten smaller and smaller with many of them migrating to Minna on the Japanese servers with the belief that a NA/EU update was never coming.
I'm really looking forward to SS, but good god do those ground textures look abysmal.. Do we have any kind of explanation for why this is the case? I appreciate that great looking ground isn't the most important part of a game like this, but surely something could have been done technically to make those textures at least.. you know, non-offensive?
i would imagine smooth 4 player play with big bosses take a lot of processing power and the ground was what they decided to skimp on to get performance up.
I would rather have smooth gameplay than pretty ground graphics.
So I had been waiting for the HR department to talk to the VP of our company about the stolen Vita to see if he was going to rain hellfire down and get something done. Instead I get the response:
"We will not be reimbursing any stolen goods as it's not our policy, other people have had things stolen and we do not reimburse them."
So fuck that, I'll be filing a police report and will be locking my office in spite of the people who need to get in there. If nobody at my office can provide for me a modicum of security for my personal and work belongings then I'll have to inconvenience everyone for my own sake.
Nothing's turned up at local gamestops, and nobody knows anything.
What a terrible night to have a curse.
The good news is that I got my wisdom teeth taken out about 5 hours ago and feel great.

That is total bull. Any office manager or HR person who gives a reply like that obviously doesn't care at all about fostering a positive work environment. So my only advice is keep your shit locked down as if you were a tourist in Italy.
GameStop is a good idea, but also keep a lookout on Craigslist and eBay. It would be so deliciously awkward to meet up with your co-worker to "pick up" the Vita and then go all Scooby Doo on them, but more delicious than awkward

Japan VitaBros,
Any recommendations of JP only vita stuff I should get here? I am getting Soul Sacrifice if I can find a copy today. Anything else that does not require knowledge of Japanese?

Look into Senran Kagura or Demon's Gaze. I dunno how much knowledge on Japanese is needed for DG, but I hear it's pretty good. And Senran Kagura is NSFW in a few ways, but it's really fun.
EDIT: Oh, and Project Diva f! There's a demo for that one.
I thought the demo from the Japanese store was really bland and the fact that it's a PSP port really shows. Ragnarok Odyssey, as flawed as it is, is miles better IMO.
Did you guys see the english commentary on soul sacrifice mp?
Haven't finished watching it but looks fun and the player shadows are pretty impressive imo.
---marrec, sorry to hear that as well, hope you catch the guy eventually...I think the last guy was pretty sneaky about it and it worked out, might want to look up the thread about a stolen vita here. Good luck anyway.

It's too bad DOA is a terrible fighting franchise.
TTT2 where are you?!?!?!
Yep, getting a little spy camera in set up. I'm like James Bond!

Just looked at Craigslist and someone started selling a White Vita yesterday with an 8GB card. That's what was in my Vita when it was stolen. It also has the cords (which mine didn't when it was stolen) and MLB 12 (which mind didn't have)
So who knows, I'm contacting them.
Sorry to hear that.
and for all other VitaGAF,Don't take you Vita to your workplace, it always end with an on going tragedy

Last December, an event coordinator on IGN's fighting game league thingy said it's in development and adds six new characters. Who knows if it's been canceled since then, though.
DOA5+ English trailer. Looks even better in motion
This game highlights what a lazy production SFxT ended up being. Yes, cross-play is good, but seriously, not even circle shadows? The game looks like ass compared to even Marvel.
The more I see of DoA5+, the more interested I get even though I'm trash at fighting games. GAF isn't healthy for my wallet.DOA5+ English trailer. Looks even better in motion

It's a fighting game for people who don't like fighting games.The more I see of DoA5+, the more interested I get even though I'm trash at fighting games. GAF isn't healthy for my wallet.
The mechanics are so dead-simple (at least on the surface) that it's even more accessible than Soul Calibur in my opinion.
Plus the Vita version has awesome music.
For the localization, they better get rid of those silly looking palms. First of all, mine aren't pale-white, so that alone takes me out of the game. Second of all, they look cheesy and visually inconsistent with the rest of the UI.Skyzard said:
I hope the game does well enough for Sega to bring PSO2 over, but it still looks $20 too expensive in my opinion.

The good thing is that DOA is one of the most accessible fighting games.
