Team Ninja Announces Dead Or Alive 5 For 2012

The latest entry in the series has been announced and is currently scheduled to be released sometime in 2012 for Playstation 3 and XBox 360. You can read the news here.

So since Dead Or Alive 5 is officially confirmed to be in development and eventually released for 2012, what kind of changes would you like to see in it? I expect all the major characters to be back, along with the same kind of gameplay that made the series famous, but I'd also like to see some new features and characters. That's just for starters...

YES!!!!

I saw this on IGN...

Tonight at a press event in Tokyo, Team Ninja revealed Dead or Alive 5. The continuation of the well-known fighting series, Dead or Alive 5 revolves around the theme "fighting entertainment." A brief gameplay demonstration was given that showed off classic fighters Hayate and Hayabusa fighting on a dark rooftop. Construction cranes swung dangerously in the background and provided the two ninja with a spectacular backdrop for their combat.

The video teased special finishing moves that incorporated the stage in different ways. For example, Hayabusa launched a bolt of energy at Hayate and sent him spiraling through the air, only to be hit by a flying car (for some reason). Team Ninja promises that the stages in Dead or Alive 5 will no longer be "sidekicks" to the action, but critical parts of the competitive experience.

Dead or Alive 5 is currently in its pre-alpha stage, but it already looks like its running smoothly and features the same flurry of explosions and outrageous sound effects the series is known for. Following the gameplay trailer, Team Ninja revealed a piece of art that featured one of the female fighter's lips and bust, with the text "I'm a Fighter" superimposed over the image. The image was a hint at either Kasumi or Hitomi, based on the color of her hair, but no other information was given.

Dead or Alive 5 is being developed for the PS3 and Xbox 360, and is due out sometime in 2012.

No boob physics this time. The reason? According to a Team Ninja spokesperson, "We don't think people want to see that anymore. They've already seen it." AAllxxjjnn

Maybe we'll get a competent fighting game for a change.

My thoughts exactly. I'd rather have a quality fighter than one that is all about physics and graphics all over!

This is awesome news. It's about freakin' time' a new DoA for home consoles gets released. I'm a huge fan of the series so I definitely can't wait for this.Archangel3371

They may not be the best or even a real competitive fighting game. But they are always super fun to play. I for one am excited for this.

about time....though ninja gaiden 3 must have taken up alot of time

Hopefully we'll see more gameplay from TGS in the upcoming days. Maybe some new fighters? What do you think, is there anyone from DoA4 you don't want in DoA5? Personlly I'd like to see that drunken fighter (forgot his name) gone. I didn't like him at all. Other than him, I say keep the roster and add a couple of brand new fighters :)
