Rather than going through a convoluted process using capture cards, players can simply upload it to Facebook, as on the Xbox 360. The PlayStation 3 version, however, will allow for uploads to both Facebook and YouTube.

Yohei Shimbori, director, announced that there will be other tweaks in the patch but a full list of fixes is yet to be released. Hopefully, it will correct some of the rampant bugs some users have reported seeing. Will it make Dead or Alive 5 a different experience altogether? Time will tell.

Tis the season to be jolly, no? Check out screenshots for 9 of the characters in their respective Santa outfits below.

Costumes have been divided on the basis of packs. Kasumi, Hitmoi and Leifang make up Pack 1; Tina, Christie, and Ayane form Pack 2; and what is sure to be the most popular of the bunch, Pack 3 consisting of Hayabusa, Hayate, Jann Lee, Bass, Bayman, and Akira.

Each pack retails for about 300 yen/$3 USD/240 Microsoft Points ($3). You can also purchase all of the suits for 800 yen/$8 USD/640. They’ll be released today on Xbox Live and later this week for Playstation Network.

Now you may be like “but it’s a fighting game, makes no sense?!”, oh but it does. There’s no genre limitation for set pieces. Dead or Alive 5 producer Hosuke Hayashi described how they were inspired by Uncharted.

“Specifically it was the whole stage crumbling, and things falling off, and the characters rolling down, grabbing on to the ledges in Uncharted. We also wanted to hint at that flow you get into in Uncharted, where you know that something massive is about to happen,” he said to CVG.

“In Uncharted you fall off a cliff, or off a boat and things like that, and we thought moments like that would be great in DOA5′s fighting system. We got really inspired by that, and we’ve tried to do something very similar.

“As creators we were inspired, and it’s a good opportunity right now to tell our players about this. It’s something they might not notice, but we really respect Naughty Dog, their work is fantastic.”

Almost everyone respects Naughty Dog. When you create a game that is 96 on Metacritic that comes with the territory.

Thanks, VG247.

Dead or Alive 5 is the perfect game for newcomers to the series, yet it’s not unfamiliar to those who have been with the series a long time. All the typical DOA mechanics and shenanigans that you know and love are still here, but they’ve been broken down to their core in a lot of ways and explained thoroughly for the newcomers.

The tutorials are a perfect example for this. They’re very informative and detailed, and they teach you everything from basic moves like punching and kicking to some of the most complicated moves you can pull off, progressing gradually and at a deliberate speed. It’s even enjoyable if you’re a DOA fan. It’s just too much fun.

The fighting in the game hasn’t changed much from what we know already. The strikes, holds and throws collectively form a rock, paper, scissors system, where strike beats throw, throw beats hold, and hold beats strike. It’s a fun system that forms checks and balances, and it creates lots of opportunities to formulate strategies, yet not so much so that arcade fighter fans cannot have fun.

Then there’s the campaign mode. The story in the campaign mode, which is supposed to be what the purpose of the campaign is, is downright ridiculous. Sure, it provides a few laughs sometimes, but it’s poorly written and tacky. The corny voice acting doesn’t help. However, it isn’t really about the story. Playing DOA for story is like playing Assassin’s Creed for the horse-riding. It’s stupid. The story, in Dead or Alive, needs to serve the purpose of bringing you from one fight to another, and here, it does that perfectly.

The fights can often get a little crazy- the maps are often dynamic and they’ll cause you to rethink your movements and your attacks, lest you want to get trampled by a train or electrocuted by a… wall. The action on the screen can often get pretty intense, and the game usually handles that well, but the frame rate dips often times, which can be a real hindrance and irritant. It’s not a deal breaker, but it sure comes in the way of your enjoyment sometimes.

It’s good to know, then, that the visuals are top notch otherwise. The art style is great and ambitious, and so are the character models (you know). The arenas and maps have been created wonderfully, and even on a technical side, the visuals are pretty impressive.

There are some other modes in the game, as expected, including arcade, time trial and online. These pretty much explain themselves, and I guess you don’t need me telling you that they’re all well done and extremely fun. Especially the online mode. It isn’t the best you would see in a game, heck, even in a fighting game, but there’s something satisfying about beating your friends and/or strangers to death with fighting mechanics that are as good as they are in DOA 5.

Ultimately, Dead or Alive 5 is a great game. Team Ninja isn’t completely over its obsession with accentuated breasts and making them bounce like rubber balls against a concrete wall, but that really isn’t an issue, is it? Either way, the gameplay here is solid, and if you are a Dead or Alive and/or fighting fan, you should definitely pick this game up.

This game was reviewed on the PlayStation 3.

This will include Dead or Alive 5, whose full version will be available for play with developer Team Ninja available for interviews. The game has generated quite a bit of hype, in no small measure thanks to members of the Virtua Fighter cast also being playable in the game. Then again, this is the first DOA without Itagaki at the helm.

Other titles like Dynasty Warriors 7 Empires, Fist of the North Star: Ken’s Rage 2 and Warriors Orochi 3 Hyper will all available as demos.

The Tecmo Koei booth will be located in the 2nd Hall, Booth #2-N1. It will be open from September 20th till 23rd.

Mila is an up-and-coming MMA champion who has scored spectacular victories all over the world. She spends her days training at the gym in between shifts at her part-time job, honing her skills as a lightning fast, orthodox striker with a strong follow-up ground game. Mila also feels intense admiration for a certain fighter, and she has entered the fifth Dead or Alive Tournament to follow her dream of taking on her idol in the ring.

The game will be released on September 25th for the PS3 and Xbox 360.

Thanks, Gamespot.

Featuring Brad taking on Eliot, it’s an interesting contrast of styles, including the classic Dead or Alive system of counters, tech rolls, free throws and more. And not to mention the multi-hit combos and environmental destruction.

The question is though: Will you be able to hang with the big boys come September when DOA5 releases for Playstation 3 and XBox 360?

Along with detailing the relationship Team Ninja and Sega had ever since the first Virtua Fighter and Dead or Alive premiered in arcades, Hayashi talked about dream cameos he’d love to see for DOA5 in the coming months.

“Speaking of Sega characters, I’d say the main character from Shenmue. When considering a cameo for a fighting game, you have to look at someone who can actually fight. After the release of Dead or Alive 5 we’d like to explore cameos further, but at the moment…it’s a secret.”

Considering Virtua Fighter characters make their mark in DOA, it wouldn’t be too much of a stretch. One thing’s for sure: All these years and sleeper successes later, and people still think about Shenmue.

The game is also launching on the PS3 after a long time considering the previous game was exclusive to Xbox 360. They aren’t worried about the game looking terrible by today’s standards either as Hayashi has mentioned that they have created the game engine from scratch.

“DOA5 is a fighting game for this generation,” he said to Playstation Universe. “Our game engine is built from scratch.”

 He has also mentioned that they totally nailed the breast physics by going “hands-on with that feature”. Are you thinking what I’m thinking? If yes, who wouldn’t like to work for Team Ninja?!

But that’s probably not what he meant unless he wants the great Twitter outrage of 2012 to bite him.

The game comes out next month for the PS3 and Xbox 360. Tell us what you think in the comments section below.
