Support NeoGAF

[Rhazer Fusion]

Any impressions of the netcode? Also, any new free outfits in this version?

To my knowledge, I heard the netcode has been considerably improved, but I am not sure to what extent. The game has approximately double the costumes that are unlockable and the only free costumes I am aware of are the ones that you receive if you preorder from certain places. They might have some free DLC later like they did with DOA5 also.

 

[Vazra]

Ready for DOA5; Ultimate Gimp Edition

 

[EYEL1NER]

You mean 6th? there are 5 new characters.

Yep, you're right. I'm dumb.

 

[Hoya Destroyer]

Looking forward to the pretty new levels mostly. The desert and the cloud island ones look really good.
Ive gone off the Ultimate CE swimsuits, a bit, since I realized what a poor job TN did on the girls feet.

 

[Skilletor]

Will be picking this up on ps3. Super excite for it. Additions to the game look great.

 

[plufim]

Fuckin' hate retailer specific DLC

Without a doubt it is the shittiest practice from this generation

 

[GuardianE]

Am I reading it right that Core Fighters will only be available on PSN and not XBL?

 

[Mesharey]

Am I reading it right that Core Fighters will only be available on PSN and not XBL?

Yes, because "Microsoft".

 

[AnkiRendan]

I'll get Core Fighters so I can buy Momiji and maybe Rachel.

I'd rather support this model than Tekken Revolution's stupidity.

 

[Augemitbutter]

coming so soon? man, i don't have time for this now.

 

[Amagon]

So I want to get this game but..... I still have DOA5 Collector's Edition still sealed up.

/smh

 

[Pachimari]

Can this game be bought in retail as well, so that I get everything in one purchase?

 

[Memento_Mori15]

Yes.

Picking this up even though I won't really have the time for it. Wished they released it today instead of next week.

 

[TheFLYINGManga_Ka]

Is the story mode also expanded?

 

[Ermac]

Is the story mode also expanded?

Nope

 

[Squire]

Nope

There are no added scenes to incorporate the new characters? I find that hard to believe.

 

[Dantis]

Confirmed at E3, sadly.

 

[Squire]

Confirmed at E3, sadly.

Wow.

They added so much stuff and still copped out on something.

 

[Dantis]

Wow.

I have a feeling it's because of all the criticism story mode got. I personally enjoyed it a lot, but I know most people seemed to hate it.

Oh yeah, it's unintelligible gunk, to be sure. Still figured they'd want to bring it up to support the whole roster.

 

[BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!]

90% of the fucking fights in story mode were either in that goddamn oil rig, or in the tournament stage with electrified walls. Absolutely ridiculous. MK9 did it infinitely better.

So did Persona 4 Arena, while we're at it.

 

[Hours Left]

The concept of DoA5's story mode was good, the execution left a lot to be desired.

And the fact that no new story scenes were added in Ultimate is pretty lame.

 

[RoyalFool]

Has anybody done the calculations to work out how much it would cost to turn the "Core fighters" version into the full version by buying the optional extras?

Tempted to download it and buy a few characters, but not if it's going to work out way cheaper just to wait 6 months to pick up the full game on sale.

 

[Canis lupus]

I loved the story mode too, wish it had more stages and more cutscenes, more Ayane and Kasumi.

The game on day one is only $40 retail/digital. In CF, characters are $5 a pop and story mode is $15. Just looking at the roster it'd cost you more than 3x DOA5U.

 

[synce]

Complete character bundle = $35
Story mode = $15

 

[lazybones18]

Sadly, I won't be triple dipping Had I finished my backlog games like I should be doing, then a purchase might have been a possibility

I always have the vanilla and Plus versions (w/Kasumi VA signatures to boot)

 

[Ninja Dom]

I'm there on PS3 version.

Thing is I only use the Ninja's so I could pretty much get away with only downloading Core Fighters for free.

Even though the DOA 5 vanilla was given away free on Playstation + the online matches dried up pretty quickly.

 

[Dantis]

I think ranked tag is the thing I'm most looking forward to in this. Should be great fun.

 

[IconGrist]

I paid this off the day Gamestop put it up for grabs. I'm a sucker for this series. I've got vanilla, Plus and every bit of DLC available to purchase. I did miss out on the gravure videos but I hear it wasn't much to begin with.

 

[Loona]

I loved the story mode too, wish it had more stages and more cutscenes, more Ayane and Kasumi.

The story mode had more sections for Kasumi than for anyone else - and practically nothing for Gen Fu, nothing for Pai, no playable sections for a few others who were only opponents...

I liked its structure, but I wish they'd taken the opportunity to expand it...

 

[Dragon1893]

shoulda sold my DoA5 when i had the chance, i wonder what it's worth now

Sold mine for 10 euros yesterday lol, couldn't get more for it. Paid less than 20 though so it's not too bad. I'll wait for a price drop on this.
My fav VF characters are all in the game now which is cool.

 

[Ermac]

Famitsu gave it a 34

 

[DR2K]

Famitsu gave it a 34

Good advertising budget.

Those are pretty sweet.

They're really slick, yeah.

 

[Dantis]

Whaaaat. Ayane's is amazing!

Momiji's is uninteresting because it's from NGS2.

EDIT: They're DLC?
Lame as hell.

Double edit: It sounds like it's a first print bonus in the PS3 version of DOA5U actually? That's fine if that's what it is.

 

[klee123]

Well, I'm a sad fuck and ordered the Kasumi Blue edition from Japan.

So those race queen costumes are only available in the JPN limited edition right?

 

[Dantis]

Correct.

And shame on you.

 

[synce]

Those costumes come with the first print of Musou Orochi 2 Ultimate, not DOA5U... Tecmo's taking this to the next level of milking!

BASTARD.

 

[klee123]

Correct.

Yeah, I'm contemplating whether to keep the preorder or not. Might just get the standard edition instead. It's really expensive!

 

[Squire]

...

Spoiler

The race queen costumes are awesome thorough.

Where does this leave the US 360 owners at then? They are really going all out with these system exclusive costumes..

 

[Dantis]

Is Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate even announced for a Western release yet?

 

[IvorB]

If this had been DLC I would have bitten. But it doesn't make sense for me to buy a full game which has so much cross-over with a game I already have.

I think this is an unfair thing to say. I mean, how much would you have expected the DLC to cost? The game is already a budget title, and the amount of new content is pretty large. Most notably, there are five new characters, five new stages and around sixty new costumes, as well as sixty costumes which were previously DLC.

 

[FlyFaster]

how is the netcode in this game compared to the SF4 series?

may actually give the "core" version a try.
