Changes to the movement system, apparently.

[MAZYORA]

Holy F @ the closeup wolf shot! This blows DOA4 away! Lindbergh is awesome!

 

[jooey]

chinese famitsu?? whatever, WAHOW MY GAWD

 

[neo2046]

chinese famitsu?? whatever, WAHOW MY GAWD

this is Famitsu
Famitsu has Chinese version (authorized) in Taiwan

 

[Foil]

Looks good. Hopefully when the PS3 port comes around they can beef up the visuals even more so. After my addicition to Evo, this is a must buy when it finally hits next gen consoles.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Now that's more like it. Definetly the best looking next gen fighter so far.

 

[Andy787]

It's strange, the models in some cases look nearly identical to their VF4 counterparts, yet in some screens it looks downright photorealistic. The lighting is fantastic.

Well, whichever the case, at least we know it has unmatched gameplay to go along with it. Hoping for a PS3 port.

 

[gogogow]

Okay, this does look quite a lot better than the screens previous shown (Sarah).
That zoomed-in shot of El Blaze looks good, u can see his veins, nice detail!

 

[Borys]

HOLY FUCKING MOTHER OF ALL THAT IS HOLY

Self-shadowing makes this look so goddamn great. DOA4 looks like a previous gen effort now. Take a note Itacrappy!

 

[jiggle]

I can't save the first page(with the close-up)

 

[imastalker co.]

i hope this game is just the beginning of SEGA getting settled in and finally starting to concentrate on making non-stop kick ass games again.

 

[ronito]

Name that mexican wrestler "El Muerte" or "El Vato" and you've got a sale!....oh who am I kidding I'd buy this anyway after VF4.

 

[dicklaurent]

oh great!

:lol (note that IAWTP)

<Isamu mode on>OMGWTFBBQAWESOME!!! THIS RAPES DOA4 IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE!!!! AARRGGGGGHHH I WANT IT NOW!!! LOOKS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOD!!!<isamu mode off>

Absolutely gorgeous!!!

 

[Borys]

I hope they add some kind of cloth physics... or maybe a lil' bit of motion blur?

 

[Shompola]

doesnt look much better than VF4.

 

[gogogow]

VF5 will be shown at the "SEGA Private Show Autumn" on 11.01.2005, 11.04.2005 and 11.07.2005.

 

[imastalker co.]

although DoA failed to impress me with every new batch of screens, i was never looking to Team Ninja for a next-gen fighting game. atleast not one in the DoA franchise.

AM2 is definitely delivering. i can't wait to see how namco's tekken models match up to this.

 

[llTll]

this is how next gen fighting game should look like.

 

[The Faceless Master]

apparently, he's called El Blaze

 

[Azure Dream]

Heh, an OS-Tan avatar.

Anyway, I can't seem to get these to load... the image is broken on the normal pages, if I try to go to the image URLs directly, I'm redirected to an oo.jpg picture of a biscuit or something. Any mirrors?


Edit: Many thanks, Faceless Master.

Arcade version

Same article on p.174-175 of Japanese Famitsu available today

 

[Gek54]

doesnt look much better than VF4.

Wha?

SEGA FUCK YEAH!!!

 

[The Bookerman]

WTF? Rey Mysterio's in there?

Short stuff highflying wrestler?

 

[fse]

wow VF5 looks badass.

 

[Zer0]

doesnt look much better than VF4.

stop trolling

 

[lexy]

PS3 port? When was this announced?

 

[Borys]

PS3 port? When was this announced?

AFAIK it's 360/PS3/arcade. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

 

[SolidSnakex]

AFAIK it's 360/PS3/arcade. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

It's just arcade, Sega hasn't announced any console version.

 

[karasu]

Oh my stars and garters! :O

 

[123rl]

Looks awesome and it'll play even better. Instant purchase for the inevitable console version

It's just annoying that Sega aren't making any effort to putting this on Xbox Live This would completely obliterate DOA4 online but it's not going to happen. I can just see it now...people buying DOA4 because it's online and VF4 isn't

 

[Bebpo]

It's just arcade, Sega hasn't announced any console version.

And it's going to stay that way for a while. Sega isn't stupid and most of their VF money comes from the Japanese arcades, so they'll probably wait a full year from the eventual arcade release until they do a home port.

I seriously would be surprised if we see VF5 at home before Fall 2007.

 

[SaitoH]

Looking good. Can't wait for more screenies and gameplay info.

Thanks for the links.

 

[The Take Out Bandit]

DOA4 looks like a previous gen effort now. Take a note Itacrappy!

Duh - we've been saying this for months.

Unfortunately the character modeling still looks weak.

What I mean by that are Pai and Wolf's arms for example. Pai has always had weak shoulders. It's like AM2 doesn't take into consideration muscle masses when modeling their characters. So Pai's arms still look freaky in the screens. Similar for Wolf, his arms are just big. Where's the delineation of bicep and tricep?

It's not a huge problem. Just something that has always nagged me about AM2 and VF. Dream Factory was pretty good at taking body shapes into consideration, back when they still made good games.

 

[Gantz]

Looks like they didn't bother redesigning the ugly character designs and models.

 

[Teknopathetic]

Hot.

"I hope they add some kind of cloth physics... or maybe a lil' bit of motion blur?"

They'll more than likely *never* add motion blur. The hardcore framecounting set would go pissy.

 

[SaitoH]

They had a sort of blur back in VF3.

*shrugs*

 

[Shinobi]

Hell, VF2 had motion blur...only for the replays of the end of your fights during the credits mind you, but anyway.

Heh, I doubt it takes that long...I'm sure Sega will just take the same tact they did with VF4, releasing upgraded versions of VF5 for the arcade to keep it fresh around the time of the console releases. I reckon we'll see PS3/360 versions in about a year.

yeah, Tobal 2 had quite the body definition...

 

[Shinobi]

:lol I'm assuming he was referring to some other Dream Factory fighter (and I don't mean Tobal 1).

 

[Cerebral Palsy]

I would be all over VF5 if it had online play. Unfortunately arcades are dead here, and it gets old playing the same 4 people over and over.

 

[norinrad21]

Itagaki won't be happy about this

 

[jett]

Woot. I always thought this looked much better than DOA4.

 

[momolicious]

nah, Itagaki always thinks his games are the best

 

[∀ Narayan]

I don't see any pictures, no matter what I click on.

A little help here? :/

EDIT: Saw the RapidShare link.

 

[123rl]

Didn't Itagaki say DOA was the best fighting game ever? :lol The man is totally clueless...he wouldn't know a good game if his life depended on it. I'm sure he thinks DOA4 is going to be better than VF5...I'm almost excited to read the damage control over this

 

[Unison]

Looks incredible... I know this was confirmed for PS3... Is it an exclusive?

 

[Deg]

Looks good. I think Namco will be the best this time.
