Is there censorship? SONY?!

Can we buy cosmetics/characters individually? CRAzY SEASON PASS?!

Yes, the season pass guarantees you'll get everything that comes out this season at a discounted price ($1.50) plus some season-pass exclusive stuff; however, when the actual costume packs or characters come out, players will be able to purchase them individually for the regular price, probably around $2 for each costume, and more for characters.

Will the PC version suck again?/ PC vs. Console?/ LOBBIES?

Providence 777 a écrit :

There will be feature parity[1] between console and PC because this time the console version is the port of the PC version.

So that means that we get lobbies[teamninja-studio.com] (and all other features) just like everyone else.

(Updated info) the lobbies patch FOR ALL PLATFORMS had to be pushed back to later in March... FOR ALL... PLATFORMS. Can't stress that enough.

[1] If "feature parity" scares you, see "Is there censorship?" above.

HDR only for Xbox?

Yes, it's true that HDR is Xbox exclusive (since Team Ninja worked directly with Microsoft to make it happen). PS will be capped at 1080p 60fps apparently; however, PC has no limit, and can go up to 4k, or 8k, or whatever your heart desires computer can run.

Should I believe, acknowledge, or be concerned about any publications or Shimbori quotes originating from places like Polygon?

Absolutely not. It's becoming more and more observationally clear that Shimbori is playing 4-Dimensional chess with companies like that (meaning he's deceiving them into thinking the game is "censored" so that DOA6 isn't banned from U.S. stores before it's even released).

Can we censor the close-up face distortion stuff?

Uh-yup. There's an option that changes the camera angle to the back of the character (so the face isn't shown) or it covers the face up with a flashy effect during the hit.

Will it have thousands of dollars in DLC?

Where's Momiji/Rachel?

Kurisu_丈 a écrit :

Characters in the base roster are based on story and narrative, not popularity. So, whilst Rachel and Momiji are popular, they are from Ninja Gaiden - a different franchise -[gematsu.com] but it has also been stated that Momiji could return as DLC if the game does well enough[twinfinite.net]

The Producer said this game was "Toned Down?" D:

In short:
"Toned down" was the improper wording for what they wanted to convey, which was that the characters now have a cooler, more heroic look to them, at least in their first costumes (but there are still plenty of cute/sexy costumes).

In long:

Kurisu_丈 a écrit :

Yohei Shinbori a écrit :

Actually, when we said ‘toned down’ before, it was actually misunderstood, so we’re hoping to avoid using that phrase from now on. Rather than toning it down, it was more of a change in image. Since the main concept of Dead or Alive 6 is intense fighting entertainment, we decided everything from the user interface to the default costumes of the characters to show each character’s fighting style. For example, Hitomi is a karate user, so she wears karate clothes.

Rather than saying ‘toned down,’ we wanted to create a cooler and more heroic look to the characters themselves. As you can see with Kasumi, it’s only her default costume that has that [covered up] look. When people first saw this, they thought that the entire game would be toned down, but it’s only the default costume. There are some costumes that are more cutesy looking and some that are sexy. So it’s not toned down, it’s just that we based the game on a desire to create this image of intense fighting entertainment.

Also, Dead or Alive also has male characters, and another thing we wanted to focus on is that there were some new players that might feel embarrassed about playing the game, which we wanted to avoid, which is why we made the default costumes have a cooler and more heroic look to them.

Which characters are in DOA6/ Confirmed characters/ Who is in the final roster/cast?

Kurisu_丈 a écrit :

The roster consists of 24 base characters in the game with Phase-4 (Deluxe Edition) and Nyotengu (Pre-order bonus on Xbox One/PS4, Early Purchase Bonus on Steam) bringing the final roster to 26

Will the game have guest characters?

Yes! The game will have two KoF (King of Fighters) characters. Returning guest Mai Shiranui and one other (that we know of) mystery guest from KoF as well.

Will DLC be reused from 5?

Kurisu_丈 a écrit :

Some are returning as base costumes but as for the other stuff, they've said they tried to transfer DLC over to DoA6 but it was too difficult (they are using a new engine etc. after all). As for post-launch, we don't know their plans, they've just said things are still being worked on, all we know is they are gonna do post launch DLC

What’s the difference between a 3-way and 4-way hold (counter)?

Master just informed me that the Japanese site is correct and the Digital Delixe Edition will be made available on Steam at launch. Contrary to the US site's lack of reference.

PC has no pre-order/preorder??

PC is a saint because it gives us a 2-week window to purchase the game and STILL be able to receive all the pre-order bonus content. Meaning players have 2 weeks to decide if they want the pre-order content, which contains Nyo-Tengu, Phase4, an exclusive costume for Kasumi, the bonus 25 costume deluxe set, etc. Go read about what the pre-order bonuses are for more accurate/detailed info.

Is Tag Mode in this game?

Kurisu_丈 a écrit :

Tag Mode is not in Dead or Alive 6 due to memory limitations. All the improvements to graphical quality meant they ran out of memory and so can't add tag. Shinbori is a big fan of Tag Mode though, so there's a good chance we'll see it in the future.

Will DOA6 have crossplatform play?

Shimbori has stated that it's one of his dreams, and he is not opposed to it, but as of now (~1/23/19) we're not sure when or if it will really be implemented.

DOA plans/Content/What can we expect?

Core Values | Kurisu_胸 a écrit :

Content Plans for next few months

Have breast sizes been reduced??

While we're pretty sure some of them have, the breasts also rest lower due to gravity now, whereas before they defied gravity, so some of what we're seeing could be the same size breasts squished down by that pully force.

Will there be multiple versions of DOA6 (Last Round, Ultimate, etc)?

As with most fighting games: probably.

Only one victory pose for each character?!

More (free) victory poses coming in later updates.

We got people asking about the roster.

There's a character limit, so perhaps just add the link to the thread?

Funnily enough, it's already in the OP. It was added a while ago XD.

It's under the question "How Many Characters are in DoA 6?"

Maybe the OP should be sorted into categories though, to help people find stuff quicker? Or maybe the ctrl+f warning is already enough

"How many characters" doesn't say "who" is in the game (title-wise anyway).
So someone looking for "who is in the game" or "confirmed characters" will completely miss it.

That section should read "Confirmed Characters (Complete Roster):"

[Evaide]

Alright so I changed the wording and added that link to the characters thing.

I also re-arranged the questions by popular words, so if someone sees the word "censored" in a question, or "character" in another question, all questions with those words in them will be nearby. It might increase their chance of finding what they're looking for, but probably not.

*made the title less click-bait-sounding, even tho it's not click-bait

[Providence 777]

Looks good!

Ya thats a load of crap that you'd feed to people unfamiliar with texture layering or outline UV texture mapping, the bloody engine doesn't have anything to do with the clothing layers, since many didn't have physics or collision the majority of them shouldn't interrferr with your "PRECIOUS" engine, I hate it when developers make excuses, just tell the damn truth, you want to nickle and dime all the previous DLC to "updated" versions, yeah stay classy Tecmo..

The part that was hard was transferring the licenses. They have deadlines too though. They don't have the time to convert and upscale 900+ costumes for launch. The physics engine they're using is entirely new and is reactive to the clothing. So they'd have to fine tune that for each costume. However, the fact the males only have 2 costumes is disappointing considering they've dropped Tag Mode and Team battle

Played DOA Ultimate a long time ago and played DOA 5, will I be lost in the story?

No, they have a history and trivia section where you can read bits and pieces about the previous DoA tournaments and other events. You unlock those with money you get in the Quest Mode.

You can read more about the quest mode (and other modes) here[teamninja-studio.com]

However, I am familiar with texture layering and UV mapping.

Considering this field is my profession, I can confirm that different engines require different approaches to texture layers and material creation.

The new engine in DOA6 is using PBR (physically based rendering) which materials are broken down by properties such as:

• Diffuse color
  
• Roughness
  
• Metallic
  
• Normal
  
• Ambient Occlusion
  
• Alpha

This is very different from their old DOA5 engine which used a "reflection base" rendering engine which broke down material properties in a different way:

• Diffuse color
  
• Specularity
  
• Normal
  
• Ambient Occlusion
  
• Alpha

These differences matter because you can't copy and paste the textures from an old engine to a new one that uses PBR since they don't even use the texture's color and alpha information for same thing.

Basically all the textures have to be re-authored, or re-purposed to suit PBR, that's not even mentioning the fact that they have to be up-scaled to be higher resolution than before.

Any questions?

Wccftech: Here’s the statement we got from the developers at Team Ninja:
"PlayStation 4 Pro enables 1080p resolution maintaining the processing speed, and the quality of stages and effects will be higher than on the base PS4. On the other hand, Xbox One X will reach a maximum resolution of 4K which is different from the base Xbox One.
It’s impossible to maintain 60fps at all times with 4K resolution, but you’ll enjoy beautiful graphics. There are some options to prioritize graphics or action so you can choose which one you prefer.
The game is not compatible with HDR on PC. That being said, Xbox One X is the only platform that allows you to enjoy HDR with this game."

So each platform has 1 thing that the others can't do then.

Not quite, PC and XBox one X should be able to do everything PS4 Pro can do.
