Stop making other games! MAKE DOA7 or reboot DOA

[Cxjey2025]

SK6 is now great assets in the game.
Mk1 reboot already announced
TEKKEN 8 is coming soon!
DOA7 or REBOOT DOA WHEN??!!! Already dead?!!!!!!

[holmdt]

From what I read it is already dead. Something about the main programmer left the co. and the article said he own the rights to DOA6. But I read this a long time ago. Love it But it has some things that I hate that I can live with.

No dont reboot it. Its like Ed Boon's Mk1 if that happens. There will be retcons and rewrites.

I thought it was supposed to come out in 2024.

Are you serious? 1 person solely owned the rights and ran away so no one can make the game anymore and miss out on making money from it? Seems unlikely.

It's great and one of my favourite fg. I don't care about T8 or SF6, i'd better have a DOA 7. I'd take MK1, but any DOA 7 will be great.

There was a YouTube video about it sometime ago. Most post BS just to get free stuff so I do think this is true. I do hope DOA7 comes out soon.

DOA director left the company... i doubt KT would bother enough to negotiate with him, i mean KT don't even care about their own main tittle like DW and their latest games like WH or wolong have been a mess so the future is gray for DOA

[Overloard99]

Most of news on twitter or youtube were fake ones indeed. The whole idea of ''doa7 cancelled'' was pretty much fake. Director did indeed left the company but that doesn't matter because he left before they launched the last patches for this game which means that they can work without him.

Tecmo is now making other games and focused on those. They might bring doa7 in the future but they will have to be very careful of how they proceed. If they push 400+ dlc's again then the game will die again. That's not how you do business. Season pass the same thing... That is something just not cool and main reason for the death of this.

Just look at soulcalibur game. Same thing. It died pretty fast.

But will they listen? Who knows, but if you see that company is doing the same exact thing over and over again knowing that it's bad with revenue, then there's no hope for it.

Hopefully the next director can do DOA7 some justice, but needs someone who knows DOA and cares about it. Like MK has Ed Boon, one of the MK co creators who knows what MK is all about and kept it popular over the years, while DOA lost their creator and now lost the last DOA director who worked under the DOA creator. Don't know if the next guy is going to have as much knowledge and passion for DOA.

Also Team Ninja seems more passionate at making Niohs 1&2 than they did DOA6, and KT seeing how successful these souls like games are, will probably keep them on making expansion dlcs for Wo Long and making Rise of Ronin before they get to DOA7.

would also love to see ninja gaiden again

[Krowten]

8 step fighting games cannot survive. They should just switch to two step like street fighter and Mortal Kombat and reboot it.

[TrioAngelamVA.WliaAlfaD.A.S]

I donno honestly cant say what else the game can get beyond this point unless it gets char maker and stage maker --
Cant see what else the sexy service is already hard enough add more and the breasts on female just fall off from the sheer weight costume damage was also meh for most parts better to just get rid of it.
For combat i donno its already snappy and simple enough aside MAYBE some new looks i really cant see what DOA 7 would bring on the table (aside another MASS load of DLCs >.> )

Same, hopefully after Team Ninja finish Rise of the Ronin they can go back to NG and DOA. Been long overdue, especially for NG.

There is no interest in DOA or NG in TN now. Even if they wanted, could they do them justice? If they were to make new NG game and add rpg mechanics, then they might as well not bother.

I think Team Ninja can still do NG justice, they been making bangers with Niohs 1&2 and Wo Long. And these souls-like games are basically spiritual successors to NG, the weapon types like katana, dual swords, warhammers, giant swords, tonfas, kusarigamas in the Nioh games and the gameplay for them are based on the weapons and gameplay in NG2. And Wo Long got a jump button, so it's not that much of a jump for them to go from Souls-like gameplay to NG gameplay. And with that banger track record I think Team Ninja could make a good NG game if they try.

I don't see NG changing mechanics being a big issue as long as it got core NG characters like Ryu Hayabusa, Momiji, Rachel and all the NG stuff like the Dragon Sword, Ninpo, Difficulty etc. that make it NG. NG is old ip with many different takes on it over the years, NG started out with the arcade beat them up and NES 2D hack slash platformer, then the great Itagaki DOA take on NG as a 3D hack slash platformer, and then not so great Inafune zombie take on NG with Yaiba. And now I want to see Kou Shibusawa's take on Ninja Gaiden, it should be good since he made the Niohs with Team Ninja, so I think he could make a good NG game. And Kou Shibusawa seems like a history nerd making all these Koei Warriors games based on history, so he could probably expand the NG lore. Kou Shibusawa is the CEO of Koei Tecmo after all, he merged Koei with Tecmo like Shao Kahn wants to merge Outworld with Earthrealm, and now Kou Shibusawa owns NG, so he should make something with it.
