Its plot is set two years after the events ofDead or Alive 4,telling the interrelating stories of various characters in connection to the new DOA tournament and the continuing hunt forKasumi's evil clone.

Gameplay

[edit]
A fight ofHitomivs.Ayane

Like in the other games in the series, fights inDead or Alive 5are based on an interruption triangle system in which strikes (normal attacks) beat throws, throws beat holds (strike interception attacks), and holds beat strikes, all of such counterattacks causing extra damage.[6]Tag teambattles from the previousDOAgames have been retained. The fights take place in interactive and now morehighly-destructivearenas. The game's characters are rendered in much more realistic visual style than in the previous titles in the series,[7]including new details such as the fighters getting sweaty and their clothes getting dirty during the fights, costume-specific breast physics and semi-transparent clothing.[8]

A new feature called Power Blow (a triggered powerful attack that can be executed when a character's health is below 50%) enables the players to knock the opponent character away in a selected direction. Characters can be thrown into the series' signature Danger Zones or over a cliff in the multi-level stages; this initiates another new feature, which is a cinematicquick time eventcalled Cliffhanger.[9]With Cliffhanger, if a character can grab onto the stage at the last moment before falling into a lower level, an action sequence is activated where the opponent character can make an effort to inflict even more damage if the attack succeeds.[6]The game's Critical System features Critical Stuns (after having been hit with specific moves, opponent characters get stunned and are unable to block, but can still perform holds), Critical Combos (striking a character in a Critical Stun state can prolong the amount of time they remain stunned, but the damage that can be inflicted this way is limited) and Critical Bursts (specific strikes over the damage limit of successful Critical Combos that leave the target character completely defenseless for a short while).[6]

The game has four main modes: Story (the main Story Mode and its bonus Missions), Fighting (offline modes, including Versus, Arcade, Time Attack and Survival), Online (Simple Match, Ranked Match and Lobby Match) and Extras. Training Mode has more features than the previousDead or Alivegames, including allowing for players to adjust theAIopponent's behavior. Online modes include an ability to organize and host tournaments for up to 16 players, Spectator Mode enabling users tochatwith other players while watching fights, and Online Dojo, a training mode where one can practice with other players.[10]Extras include Spectator, where players can watch replay of their matches, or watch fights between two AI players, and also take photographs from a position and angle of their choosing with a fully controllable camera.[6]

Story

[edit]

Dead or Alive 5is set two years after the events ofDead or Alive 4and the destruction of the DOATEC corporation's Tri-Tower headquarters. Helena Douglas has undertaken the task of rebuilding DOATEC but wants to use its technology for peaceful ends. Helena Douglas dissolved DOATEC's Biotechnology Division, stopped the Military Division's biological weapons projects Alpha, Epsilon andOmega,fired all members ofVictor Donovan's faction, and announced that she intends to hold the fifth Dead or Alive Tournament (DOA5), hosted by Zack, "to show the world the principles and philosophies upholding the new DOATEC."[12]

The game's Story Mode is told in the form of one long sequence, similar to the Chronicle Mode ofDead or Alive: Dimensionsand presented in "hyperlink cinemastyle "for more character and stage interactions.[13]It is not told in chronological order and is instead divided into a series of interconnected chapters following various characters and showing the events from their respective perspectives. There are two main storylines, one telling the story of the fifth tournament, and the other one centered around the hunt for Alpha-152. Characters from the two storylines often interact with each other in minor ways.

Plot

[edit]

Two years after the previous events,Bayman's military patrol is ambushed and cut down by a hooded figure of superhuman speed which then dissolves into thin air. Seeking revenge, Bayman meetsHelena Douglasaboard her cruise ship,Freedom Survivor,as he is suspecting DOATEC's involvement, which Helena denies, suggesting it might be rather the work ofVictor Donovan's breakaway faction. She is also approached byKasumi,who is looking for information regardingAlpha-152after the latter's sudden disappearance during the TriTower's destruction. Helena promises her help and arranges a meeting betweenHayateand Kasumi, who insists that the pursuit of Alpha is only her fight, rejecting Hayate's offer to aid her. Kasumi then sets out to find more clues about Alpha's whereabouts, going round-the-world while being herself pursued byAyane.She is also hunted by Bayman, who suspects Kasumi of being the attacker and desires to take her down himself. Helena informs Hayate that she will stop Project Alpha.

Meanwhile, at DOATEC's oil platform, one of the platform's worker namedRig,is paid a visit byChristie,who claims to be a woman from his past coming to "test" him, and who is still working for Donovan. Soon, the platform mysteriously comes under helicopter attack, but Rig along withBass Armstrong,who's also employed there, succeed in putting down the fire. Donovan, his face hidden behind a porcelain mask, is seen plotting the final stage of his Project Alpha: Phase Four. Donovan ordersLisa Hamilton,who is still working with him on her research, to bring head of DOATEC Japan,Miyako,who too is part of their new organization, "MIST", to a secret laboratory located under the rig.

Various characters are shown entering the fifth Dead or Alive tournament, which also takes place at the platform. Each does it usually for their own reasons, often to either see once more or to defeat some other character. They join after being approached byZack,who is shown finding, fighting and recruiting them around the world. AfterTina Armstrongdecides to return to fighting, her father Bass enters it as well, adopting a ring name of Mr. Strong; eventually, they reunite as a team. While stalkingJann Lee,Leifangeventually confronts him before the tournament on a train and there is sexual tension between them when the train is thrown off its track and crashes.Hitomi,who still hopes to seeEin(Hayate), advances to the quarterfinals, defeating Spanish newcomer,Mila,and thenEliot.During a break, Hitomi meets Hayate, who wishes her good luck. Jann Lee, who had won constructive matches against Leifang and Mr. Strong, defeats Hitomi, emerging as the winner of the tournament, but not attending the championship award ceremony out of a personal grudge for Rig, whom he lost to in an earlier fight.

In Japan,Ryu Hayabusais approached by Hayate and joins him and Ayane. Aboard Freedom Survivor, it is revealed to the Mugen Tenshin ninjas that Helena ultimately destroyed the Tri-Tower to get revenge on Donovan for both the death of her parents during power struggles within the organization and for turning DOATEC into a corrupted, immoral and in-human organization. Helena informs them that the Phase Four will see a mass production of Kasumi clones to sell them to top militaries in the world. Feeling that something is wrong with Kasumi, Hayate orders Ayane to follow her and discover her real intentions. Frustrated with her failure to track down Alpha, Kasumi returns to Helena, demanding to be told the truth, and Helena directs her to the platform. There, Hayate wins the right to follow her from Bayman. Kasumi discovers the lab, with Alpha-152 in it, and appears to destroy her clone. However, she is then attacked and mortally wounded by Hayate and Ayane, and dies in Ryu's arms. This Kasumi is revealed to be merely a clone herself, but Ryu regrets her death anyway. Ryu destroys attacking helicopters (of the kind that attacked the rig earlier), while Hayate is captured in the lab by Rig, who turns out to be working with Donovan. Ryu sends a falcon with a message for the real Kasumi, who has been sheltering withMuramasaall that time; she immediately joins them up at the platform. In the lab, they defeat Rig, who escapes after saying it was a plan to lure them there. Lisa, dismayed to find out that Project Epsilon has been reactivated, frees Hayate. Alpha-152 then appears, taking forms of not only Kasumi but also of Hayate and Ryu, but Hayate, Ayane, Ryu and ultimately Kasumi, succeed in destroying her along with the lab.

In the epilogue, Kasumi peacefully parts her ways with Hayate and Ayane, as Ryu and Helena watch by, and promises to herself to bring down Donovan for good. In the post-end credits, a conversation between Rig and Donovan (the former revealed to be Donovan's son) is heard. With Rig's success in gathering samples from the fighters, Project Alpha can now move on to Phase Four.

Development

Rumours and announcement

[edit]

By January 2010, rumors about the nextDead or Alivegame being developed for the PlayStation 3 had already circulated.[14][15]GameSpothas listed the game as being exhibited byKoei Tecmoat their booth during theE3 2010.[16]

We're revamping and redefining the fighting game; not justDoA5,but also the whole genre. We're calling it 'fighting entertainment.' It follows our style, but puts everything on a much grander scale...both the way the stages behave and how the characters are more fleshed out.[17]

Dead or Alive 5producer Yosuke Hayashi

Dead or Alive 5was officially announced in September 2011 at theTokyo Game Showon September 14, 2011, for a 2012 release.[18]The firsttrailerwas released in December 2011.[19]Producer Yosuke Hayashi said that the teaser image revealed at the event represents the sensuality that the game is now seeking to portray in a more sophisticated tone.[20]At the time, the game was said to be only "15% complete".[21]Hayashi said that his team was committed to making the environment more involved in the fighting experience than ever before[20]and that they took "a lot of inspiration" fromNaughty Dog's action-adventure game seriesUnchartedfor a creation of the more interactive and destructible stages and the dramatic cliffhanger events.[22]

Production

[edit]

Thegame engineofDOA5was built from scratch.[23]To better balance the fighting system, Team Ninja decided to re-examine each of the characters, creating new moves from scratch when needed and carefully refining others. According to Hayashi, the entire project's main concept was a decision to change direction and to focus on the characters' presence instead of on their beauty as in the previous games. They aimed to retain the characters' personalities and characteristics but to make them more lifelike and appealing for the players.[24]In October 2011, the series' officialFacebookpage announced a contest inviting fans to create and submit their own fighting moves, some of which would be used inDOA5and their creators would have their names displayed in the game's credits.[25]Regarding an introduction of playable guest characters from theVirtua Fighterseries, the characters' key animations were provided bySegaand Team Ninja created some more while working to implement them into theDead or Alivegameplay system, which uses similar controls but features a different kind of matches.[24]Hayashi said Team Ninja stayed in "very close" communication withSega AM2:"We got their guidance and feedback, we got them to check for everything we were doing with the characters."[26]Hasayshi also said that he aimed to develop acrossover gamein a manner similar toStreet Fighter X Tekken,and that he choseVirtua Fighterbecause it was "the father of3Dgaming ", and also the first 3D game that he played and theIPhe personally respects most.[27]

One of the things that I learned was the power of having a series behind you, and what it means to be part of a series. There are existing fans out there, and you have to think about the people who have supported the series for so long, and you want to make sure that the game that you make appeals to them first, and satisfies those fans first.[28]

Dead or Alive 5director Yohei Shimbori

Early on, Hayashi said they attempted to move on from relying just on sex and violence:[29]"We’re trying to focus on the real women that surround us; the voice of a female, the mannerisms. We are being realistic about it. We want to show something that’s more high class, that adult males of our generation could look at a woman [character] and be impressed with her as a woman, not just as apin-up,"[30]as opposed to the previous concept of just "make her breasts big and just make them jiggle."[27]Dead or Alive 5's overseas producer Peter Garza said the game's revised aesthetic direction: "Dead or Aliveis known for its sexiness and high-kicking characters and certain aspects of the physics engine... Those are definitely going to be inDead or Alive 5- it's part of the series, it's part of its history and it's part of why people like it. But we're trying to take a bit more of a mature take on it. "[24]After the release, the game's director Yohei Shimbori said they were originally "getting feedback from the overseas offices to tone down the sexuality -- to tone down the sexiness of the game, and of the characters." However, the team then changed their decision due to negative feedback from fans, who were playing the alpha demo version who demanded bigger breasts. Shimbori said: "That was kind of surprising. There's definitely still room for having sexualized aspects," adding that he "really tries" to take fan feedback into account and to keep an open mind.[28][31]Hayashi himself made a 180 turn from his previous position. Asked "what would you say to those people who think that thebikini-clad babes inDOA5aresexist,"he said their goal was to create" the cutest chicks in video games "and so they made a lot of effort to develop an advanced breast physics model that works differently with various types of clothing.[32]Their product received theESRBrating of Mature 17+ (Partial Nudity, Sexual Themes, Violence).[33]

Promotion

[edit]

In February 2012, Team Ninja hosted a series of press events in various locations across the world, showcasing the alpha demo of the game.

Reception

[edit]

Pre-release

[edit]

Prior to release, professional gamerKayanedeclaredDead or Alive 5the most beautiful fighting game she had ever seen.[65]In a positive preview,Electronic Gaming Monthlystated, "the resurgence and appreciation for [fighting games] has only happened recently withrebootsor re-imaginings of cherished titles, andDOA5is one of these reboots. More accurately,DOA5is a rebirth. "[66]X360rankedDead or Alive 5as the third most sexy game coming over in 2012.[67]

Reviews

[edit]

The full version ofDead or Alive 5was met with a generally positive critical response.[89]Reviewers typically praised the game's graphics and animation, as well as the spectacularity of the fights and their deeper gameplay mechanics. However, several reviews criticized the story mode and aspects of its online features. Some of the reviewers also expressed disappointment with what they thought was Team Ninja's failure to innovate enough as compared to previous titles in the series and the other new games in the genre.

Famitsuwas the first publication to review the game, giving it a very high[90]score of 36/40 (rated 9/10 by all four reviewers).[77]IGN's Vincent Ingenito describedDead or Alive 5as a "formidable, enormously entertaining fighter" and the deepest game in theDead or Aliveseries, praising the new gameplay mechanics, "gorgeous" and "stunning" visuals, "memorable and lovingly crafted" interactive stages, "insanely deep" practice mode as well as online features, and calling it "without any question, the best entry in the series."[84]According toGamesRadar's Giancarlo Saldana,Dead or Alive 5features "better than ever" graphics and its improved fighting system "is another step in the right direction," and while "the game’s story mode leaves much to be desired,"Dead or Alive 5's "new fighting mechanics and flashy stage effects turn battles into an entertaining, over-the-top experience."[80]Joystiq's Ludwig Kietzmann calledDead or Alive 5a "success as an energetic revitalization of the series."[85]Kotaku's Mike Fahey wrote that "whileDead or Alive 5is far from a complete overhaul of the series, it charges into the fighting game scene with all the spirit of a completely new game. "[91]Ernest Lin of PlayStation Universe stated that the "stages are the most awe-inducing spectacles ever seen in a fighting game" and "despite its shortcomings,DOA5is the bestDead or Aliveperiod. "[92]

GameSpot's Maxwell McGee applaudedDead or Alive 5for its gameplay system, "impressive" graphics and "outstanding reality" in regards to characters and environments, and did not mind the plot — stating it to be "entertaining in its ridiculousness" — but criticized the game's practice mode and some online features, overall calling it "a dynamic fighter that can be enjoyed by players of all skill types."[81]Andy Hartup ofComputer and Video Gamescalled the training modes "absolutely superb", but criticized the game for its "bizarre" story mode and because it "[lacked] the complexity ofStreet Fighter,"summarizing that althoughDOA5"isn't perfect", it is "cracking fun, a fighter that's great to watch and feels even better to play."[71]Destructoid's Ian Bonds called it "a delicious surprise" that is "fun without being frustrating, the all-around fighter for everyone. Even the ones who won't admit to enjoying the T&A."[93]

However, Dan Ryckert ofGame Informerwas much more critical of the elements like the game's story and online play system, and especially the series' perceived lack of substantial progress in some areas such as character customization, stating that this "decent fighter" is years behind the competition and Team Ninja is "showing its age."[79]Edgedescribed it as "mostly business as usual" with "tweaks to the formula and aesthetic, but nothing too sacrilegious or enticing."[73]G4TV's Sophie Prell called it merely a "refinement and re-balancing ofDead or Alive 4,"adding that the game is" the most welcoming to newcomers "while" hardcore fans "of fighting games might need to keep their" expectations in check ".[78]According to Matt Edwards ofEurogamer,"DOA5doesn't tarnish the series' solid and sassy reputation — far from it — but it falls short of an evolutionary leap in terms of combat mechanics and a substantial expansion in terms of single-player. "[76]Neidel Crisan of1Up.comstated: "DOA5may be "fighting entertainment," but those of us who are less concerned about being entertained and instead find value in solid gameplay that rewards proper understanding of more traditional mindgames over hail-Mary guesses will want to look elsewhere. "[70]

Like previous installments of theDead or Alivefranchise,[94]the game was criticized for objectifying women's bodies. A review inMetropointed to the series as mostly known for its focus on the breasts of the female characters, alleging that "the majority of its characters are all impossibly well-endowed women, whose breasts wobble about their chest like a pair of blancmanges [...] portrayed as simpering, personality-free automatons."[95]An attempt during development ofDead or Alive 5to "tone down the sexuality" due to outside criticism was reversed due to criticism from long-term fans and testers.[31]In response to criticism of sexualization of female characters, creative director of the games development team pointed to the fact that the game's "actions, aesthetics and overall visual presentation is more than obviously set in a light-hearted, over-the-top, candy coated universe" and stated that "we also don't feel that we are demeaning women."[96]

Sales and awards

[edit]

In May, Tecmo Koei announced that it aims to sell one million copies of the game.[97]First week sales in Japan were strong where the game sold more than 80,000 copies, mostly for the PS3.[98]On October 29, 2012, it was reported that the game sold 580,000 units worldwide during the first month after its release. According to Tecmo Koei, downloadable content sales and retail pre-orders have also been favorable.[99]Joystiqcommented that the figure "compares reasonably to the 700,000 copiesDead or Alive 4shipped worldwide in its first two months ".[100]Its main rival game,[32]Tekken Tag Tournament 2,also released in September, has sold 840,000 units by November 2, 2012.[101]By 2015, all versions of the game combined sold over 1.5 million copies worldwide.[4]
