Dead or Alive 5+ Review


Hello everyone I am a new edition to DarkPhoenix Inc. My name is Shadow and I am here to bring you the games that MrDarkPhoenix is too lazy to write and well since he is such a Xbox fanboy as well I am here to bring you the reviews dealing with games that are coming out for the Playstation 3 and PS Vita. Well along with the reviews of games I am also here to give you the latest news with games as best as I could possibly give also!!


The next line in the Dead or Alive series comes in your hands for the Playstation Vita in Dead or Alive 5+.I know I know the question you all have in your mind when it comes to this is "oh great another port coming to the vita that's going to be bad also" but I am here today to prove you are wrong about that thought if you read on you will see why I am saying this.

If you don't read on Mila will do this to you!!! 

The story takes place 2 years after the events that occurred in the Fourth Dead or Alive World Championship  Tournament but this time shockingly enough the person who is in control of the committee and is trying to rebuild it for the better is none other than Helena herself!!. I guess it sucks having to fix everything that Victor Donovan did in order to make the public believe that DOATEC is trying to do good and she makes Zack her promoter to hold the best tournament ever. But as always you can always say in every DOA game everything is always Kasumi's fault!!! But moving on, all your favorite people make a come back in this game  such as Ayane, Tina Armstrong, Kasumi, Helena, Ryu Hayabusa, Christie and a lot of other characters are in the game also. 

One thing I should also mention is the game itself is smooth and runs at 60 frames per second (to be honest that is pretty amazing for a handheld!!) and the visuals are beautiful from the 3D backgrounds to the designs of the characters. The biggest thing that can be said about this port is the fact that it is cross compatible with the Playstation 3 version!! That's right take some time to bask it in a bit but you can play someone who has the PS3 version and kick some ass without even having to pick up a controller. Another thing is that you can also play online with it as well so you can play anyone from around the world that has the PS3 or Vita version. The Vita version also has another feature called Touch Fighting where you use the swipe features of the vita to fight the opponent and it does this in a first person style as well.


What Team ninja also did for the game for those who would own both the ps3 and the Vita version is that you can cross save your data for both games to fully customize your characters any where you go no matter what or where you go and lets not forget all the costumes and DLC that is available to dress up your favorite characters in different outfits.

Come on who wouldn't enjoy seeing two beautiful women in bunny bikinis fighting 

Lets sum up this review 
Good points:
  • Beautiful Visuals and no lag time with everything running at 60 frames per second all the time
  • All your favorite characters make a come back 
  • Cross compatible with the PS3 version and able to cross save to keep customizing your character no matter where you go
  • Already has a lot of DLC available in the store to buy so you can dress up your favorite characters
 Bad points:
  • The Touch Fighting feature is a good feature but it does take a while to get used to it

As far as it goes to Try, Buy or Shy I would recommend to buy this game and take it from me I am not a person who plays fighters and enjoys them like how i enjoyed playing this game. Team Ninja did an amazing job porting this game to the Vita and keeping it as beautiful and fun as the PS3 and Xbox360 version.

Tecmo Koei and it's plans for TGS.. Hype!?


With the Tokyo Game Show almost here Tecmo Koei has shown some top secret information as to what they will be showing... you didn't think i was going to leave you guys in the dark about this did you! I'm like a hype Robin Hood i steal from no one yet give you all the hype like i stole something!


The following playable titles will top line TECMO KOEI’s show lineup:



§  DEAD OR ALIVE 5 incorporates a wealth of martial arts fighting techniques into its distinctive fighting style to create a captivating new generation of DEAD OR ALIVE combat. In the game, which releases on September 25th for both PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, players will once again take on the roles of the famed cast of DOA fighters in an action-packed brawler set in visually striking locations from around the world. The famed DEAD OR ALIVE hand-to-hand combat unfolds in new 3D stages that dynamically change as the fight progresses. The game’s sterling cast includes not only stars from the DOA series but also select fighters from the iconic Virtua Fighter series.



Fist of the North Star: Ken’s Rage 2: The sequel to Fist of the North Star: Ken’s Rage, a collaboration between the tremendously popular manga Fist of the North Star and Tecmo Koei’s own Warriors series. In addition to continuing the story, this title will provide a re imagining of the content of the first game, with an even greater emphasis on the original manga. The addition of more playable characters and an increased focus on the Warriors series’ famous tactical action will serve to make this the ultimate Fist of the North Star game experience. (I hope they fixed the camera and the controls!)



§  DYNASTY WARRIORS 7 Empires is the greatest Empires ever, including all the characters from Dynasty Warriors 7 and Dynasty Warriors 7 Extreme Legends. Designed to provide a great variety of play styles, Dynasty Warriors 7 Empires is a mix of strategy and tactical action where players can fight for power, use cunning and strategy to gain power, or use a number of different approaches to unite the Three Kingdoms.   



  
§  WARRIORS OROCHI 3 Hyper: A tactical action game, Warriors Orochi 3 Hyper transports the much loved heroes of the Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors series into a story that also features characters from other popular titles such as Ninja Gaiden, Warriors: Legends of Troy, Bladestorm, Dead or Alive and a brand new character unique to the game. Along with the huge cast, the game lets players unlock abilities and influence the story, customize scenarios and share them online, and enjoy co-op play using independent screens on the Wii U GamePad and TV.

DOA goes MMA with new character Milla!



Just when you thought Rig and his Kick-Boxing style were the only new additions to the famed DoA franchise MMA fighter Mila joins the fighters in the recent Dead or Alive 5 tournament and i gotta say she is looking like a great new addition. Tough as nails fighter Mila and her Mixed Martial Arts victories made her a champion to be in the world of fighting and she is nothing to shake a fist at either. Her hard working attitude of working and practicing got her to where she is now and she enters the tournament to take on her idol Tina in the ring and prove her skills.


From what you can see home girl has got some moves on her! Damn she hits hard has a crazy ground game and really good mix ups, in the right hands i can see her being a tough contender to the veterans of the series her grabs, punches and counters are going to leave her a force to be reckoned with and i can't wait to take her on!
Also revealed is the new New York "Street" stage with a freakin train as a hazard if you or your opponent are not careful... Yet another thing that would instantly kill a person but it's a game so i don't question logic! The stage looks great and i like the take on the hazard this is getting me so hype for the game i can not wait for this game September 25th! My Awesome Podcast!!

Two new vixens... enter the moving elevator?! Open or she'll shoot you!


DoA5 is pulling out all the stops and i can't put into words how hype i am but I'll try! Recently announced are two more of the casts femme fatales, First we have the "Fortunes Heiress" Helena Douglas daughter of Fame Douglas and leader of DOATEC her agile and graceful fighting style of Pi Gua Quan returns with her gameplay and look staying true to how we all know she looks. Sporting a new realistic look it's great to see Helena in the spotlight and i can't wait to see what other changes they possible gave to her... (Maybe we'll find out that Kokoro and Helena are half sisters!) Strategy for Helena players is a mix of throws and mix-ups



Lisa Hamilton aka La Mariposa Lucha's her way into the ring and she looks great! One of my mains since she was introduced in DoA4 Lisa comes back ready to take her style of Lucha Libre wrestling against the rest of the cast and test her skills, her gameplay is unchanged and her strategy hasn't changed unpredictable moves and mixing up your game are the key to winning with the vixen of the luchadores as some of her moves are predictable or take to much time to come out to be hit out of your going to need some time in the lab to pin point which moves work in a pinch and how to confuse the heck out of your opponent.

Kasumi teleports herself into DOA5.. with someone else!


For a while even before DOA5 i always wondered what would happen if DoA crossed fists and kicks with another fighting game franchise, since Tekken is busy my only other choice was ???????? (Thats for later) Kasumi comes back to DoA after her long battle with her clone Alpha-152 at the end of DoA4 and its glad to see she's ready for battle with the rest of cast and a new addition! Virtua Fighter is another 3D fighting game that comes to us and will be crossing paths with our DoA fighters.

Kasumi/ Swoozie vs. Akira/ Shidosha!!
Two franchises go at it in a battle of counters and Akira the hard hitting Bajiquan user of Virtua Fighter goes head to head with the gang of DoA. Not sure if he's going to be the only one out of Virtua Fighter to make an appearance would be cool to line up the whole roster to get owned by DoA one by one but hey we'll see right? He better not cross paths with my personal favorite Bajiquan master Kokoro though.. Man i love Kokoro but i think it's great putting in another fighter into our neck of the woods adds more diversity to our game plus Akira is hard enough to master in Virtua Fighter but giving him counters i can see bruises now.

If i had to pick other Virtua Fighter characters that would be cool to be in Dead or Alive 5:

Jean Kujo:

A brainwashed assassin that goes after the ninjas or anyone else in his way! His story and playstyle would fit well into DoA5.

El Blaze:
 The male luchador and a great rival/ friend to Lisa, plus now Bass and Tina would have proper lucha rivals!

Vanessa:
 I've liked her tough assassin persona even though she isnt an assassin she is no push over, i'd like to see her take on Bass and Bayman.

Jeffrey McWild:
Big Australian man breaks your bones and beats you down.. he can try not in my DoA house!

Eileen:
The crazy monkey girl of the series her fighting style is unique enough to give her a shot, plus i can see her being friends with the cast.

Lion Rafale:
I can see him being a rival to Eliot (Call me crazy) or for an even crazier rivalry Christie since they share a stance almost.
