Nice OT! Pre-ordered the CE on PS3. Only 9 days. 
PAULINK
I microwave steaks.
Very nice OT guys, good job.
Already preordered my CE for the PS3, just hope Amazon will be quick as usual with shipping.
And I'm gonna try playing with this
just to see if it's as better than the DS3 as in the 2D fighting games.
Yes, I have this pad and I love it for all my fighters. Works great with the pc as well!
Anyways, I'm pretty psyched for tuesday. Pre-ordered the PS3 CE. I got owned the last time I played it though, at the gamestop expo. I lost to a girl D: (though i'm pretty sure she was one of those employees who got to play the game all day!). Was fun though, didn't like playing with the 360 analog stick, so I'm glad I made the decision of going with the ps3 version this time around, since DOA is one of those series that I just can't play with a stick.

Nice OT.
Still hoping for some post release swimsuits for the dudes. Don't let other companies show you up at your own game Tecmo!

I really thought 4 wrapped it all up, but I guess I was wrong.
At this point I'm preparing myself for possible disappointments. Here's my list so far:
- System voices are either not included or are DLC like on an ASW game
- Net code sucks
- Dragon Kick isn't unblockable (All my tears!)
- The new balance means that I'm terrible because I can't employ cheap tactics to win.
As you can see, I'm mostly grasping at straws. I NEED TO BRACE MYSELF THOUGH OTHERWISE I'M JUST SETTING MYSELF UP FOR A FALL.
MK9 had terrible online but thankfully the SP content was awesome enough to off-set it.
BTW is DOA5 region locked with online play? Nothing pisses me off more than online region lock.
Very much doubt it. DOA4 wasn't.

Is there a list of characters that are missing from this game? I see Leon isn't in, but I feel like there is more im missing.
It really sucks for me because Leon was one my mains!

Leon, Ein and Tengu. Raidou and Genra too, technically.
Leon and Ein weren't included because they're too similar to Hitomi and Bayman, I believe.
I'm also really hoping the netcode won't suck, but there's one little thing that left me a tad disappointed: single player contents don't seem that beefed up, considering what Team Ninja stuffed into Dimensions and also the fact it's such a long time we wait for a new DoA on home consoles.
The OT doesn't mention (so I assume this stuff isn't in the game) any Challenge/Trial Mode, or Model/Figurines viewer, no art-galleriers, no Theater... Wouldn't like to find out DoA5 kind of poor and underwhelming in terms of SP modes and unlockables/goodies.

I hope my online experience is gonna be better than TTT2, it takes a really long time to find an oponnent. I find oponnents faster in VF5:FS. :/
There's story, arcade, survival and time attack. Story mode also has mission mode for completing sub-achievements within the stories, such as getting a certain number of cliffhangers attacks and the like.
And there is a model viewer, and a theater for viewing saved replays (If that's what you're referring to?). In terms of unlockables, it'll likely be costumes and system voices, like in the previous game.

Hmmm, less than I thought, its really only Ein and Leon then. That still sucks for me though, haha.
Oh well, like you said, I can use batman instead of Leon, and it looks like Mila will have some thing im looking for too. Plus she's sexier than Leon ever was.
That's nice, didn't know about it.
Maybe I'm the only one here, but I really enjoyed the Challenge Mode in Dimensions, to the point I kind of gave for granted it would have been thrown in DoA5 as well.
Ok, that's great, thanks for the info.
And about the Theater I meant it more as in cutscenes/endings viewer.
I'm ok with costumes and system voices, but again after having seen how well it worked (for me at least) the figurines/photo-mode combo in Dimensions, I hoped to find it back here as well.

Awesome work Pupi18 on the OT!
Going to be honest: I don't remember a Challenge Mode. What did it consist of?
And I doubt we'll see figurines back, as neat as it would be.
Yeah, sorry, I called it just 'challenge' but it was the Tag Challenge Mode, that one where you were fighting along with a CPU controlled partner against the CPU in various conditions.
This one.
A couple of more things: do we know if Story Mode will be 'global' and involving some/all characters (just like Mortal Kombat and Soul Calibur V) and Arcade Mode will have single character's endings?
Ooooh, Tag Challenge. No, don't think that's back.
It wasn't well-recieved.
Yeah, Story Mode involves everyone. Inclined to say that Arcade won't have any cutscenes or endings at all.
Can't wait to play a fighter on a console again. Last one I played seriously was probably SFIV. Got T6 afterwards, but barely played it.
I got DOA5 CE pre-ordered from Amazon UK. I wonder if i'm gonna get the Devil DLC, since they delisted the game. Man, CE should get ALL the DLC anyway
fake edit:
Amazon.com explicitly mentions the pre-order bonus, Amazon UK don't, guess not

Same here. Not a biggie, anyway.
Thanks for all the clarifications dude. ^_-
I noticed the same thing on Amazon.it... What does it even mean? Are the CE's preorders ended for the 360 version but still running for the PS3's? This is the first time I see that happening.
maybe they are sold out?

Yeah, that's the first thing I thought.
If you search the 360 CE the database doesn't even show it to you, but there's still a link to it on the PS3 version's page. If you click on it says 'you'll be warned when the game will be available' and it all looked a bit odd and unusual to me, that's all.

If thats all I don't care anyway. I don't know why Bayman was axed for Leon in Vanilla DoA 2, but I always liked Bayman more. Ein was cool and played him lots in DoA4, but there is Hayate and Hitomi wasn't less cool. Tengu, Raidou and Genra can bugger off.
I just hope Alpha won't be as cheap this time (is she the boss again?).
I think Donovan will be the boss this time. Which would actually be really cool.

It is. I used that pad for KOF, since I can't play KOF on a stick. It's the best pad since the Saturn pad.
Story mode has challenges to get titles. You can take pictures of your replays and not everything has been revealed by TN on terms of game modes afterall they haven't talked much of the other modes besides the fighting.
Also Arcade (Multiple ladders of difficulties Very Easy, Easy,Normal , etc.), Survival (10, 30, 50 etc) mode apparently works like DOA
Gallery- Your own pictures will do.
There are 4 unlockable character and plethora of outfits to unlock (Dimensions has less unlockable outfits and the final numbers were thanks to DLC)

*sigh*
I thought the CE was the way to get everything, but apparently not.
Fuck pre-order bonuses.
Oh well, I didn't like the black bunny outfits anyway . . . /salty

lol i want them "free" now?
i'm already buying day 1 and buying the ce, why should i have to spend even more money later?
i am salty, and will continue to be salty
Fine. XD
Heeelll yeah.
I'm barely scratching the surface on starting to learn how to play TTT2 at the moment, yet I couldn't be more excited for DOA5 release. I can't help the fact I love fighting games as a whole!
But there is a special sort of favoritism I have for DOA. The nostalgia of playing DOA1 in the arcades... the countless hours put into DOA2 on ps2. Then Itagaki abducted the series onto the xbox and I thought it was done for after DOA4...
NOPE! dat resurrection.
Gonna play the shit out of this. Got my CE on pre-order! Let's go!

So how does the single player compare in terms of duration and content to something like MK (loads of unique stuff) or TTT2 (ghosts meaning lots of AI fun plus unlockable customisation options)?
I just realised I've bought every numbered DOA. It's my least favourite of the big fighters but the only one I keep trying to have another crack at. All I recall from DOA4 was that awful boss that made me not want to bother playing any more :- Might as well see how it plays I guess if there's content to keep me entertained.
Story mode will probably be five hours-ish, and there'll be at least two unlockable costumes for each character. Survival mode is also really strong in DOA because of the way it's presented (One long match where new opponents just jump into the arena once you defeat your current one). So in terms of single player there'll be a lot more than TTT2, and somewhat less than MK.
Yeah, that all sounds pretty great.Story mode has challenges to get titles. You can take pictures of your replays and not everything has been revealed by TN on terms of game modes afterall they haven't talked much of the other modes besides the fighting.

I have so much hope in Survival, speaking about offline modes... It's been such a good time on Dimensions.

Heh, I've been finding matches faster in DOA4 than P4:A. I hope that's an indication of how strong the community still is and how active 5's online base will be.
