That was my reaction as well.
Something tells me this game isn't gonna be well optimised on day one.

No, but that size + footage we've seen so far kind of points in that direction.
we already know the game won't be well optimized because they've told us as much, with their decision to not include tag mode because of it
I think it's the variable resolution. The beta dropped pretty low even in the menus too sometimes for whatever reason. What could be that taxing in the menus though? wtfHoly Mother of God, the aliasing in this is off the charts. O:
Did they drop the base PS4 version after the beta to 720p with zero antialiasing? I found it very strange that PS4 Pro is only 1080p when the base PS4 version is as well.
First time I've gone non-PC for a fighting game that's available on PC day 1 since........Injustice.
So BigE tournaments aren't normal FGC avenues? Final Round and CEO aren't normal FGC avenues? WNF and SCR aren't normal FGC avenues?
If you're not interested in the competitive side of DOA6, that's fine. But don't come in acting like the game will be dead on arrival. I don't know if DOA6 will make it as an Evo main game (we'll know soon), but your statements are pretty ridiculous. And this is coming from someone who is not overly keen on competitive DOA6.
Big E has always consistently had doa tournaments. But when was the last time CEO and WNF and SCR had a DOA tournament when the game was fresh? I recall most events gave it 1 shot and moved on after that. FR and Big E always did support those events.
Also I never said the game is dead on arrival, what I did say is I don't expect much fgc attention with the game, it's own scene and fans having games and having the game active should be paramount. Not some is this game as evo as some kind of bench mark.
http://www.gameblog.fr/interview_1187_rencontre-avec-yohei-shimbori-directeur-et-producteur-de-la-
This man is unable to not contradict himself with every new interview. After a bunch of fanservice is on the level of 5, we can't ignore it as fans like it, etc. Statements more recently its now out of nowhere back to how he sounded months ago. Yes its saying what he thinks a certain interviewer wants to hear but making these statements makes no sense anymore.
Why would he say Christie's biker outfit is as far as the fanservice goes when everyone has already seen this Nyo outfit
Which is kinda the same style as Christie's biker outfit when it comes to fanservice except more fanservicy..
Also this
Now we have not seen it in game but I can't imagine someone who gets interviews and gets to play a press build would lie.
Especially with all that dancing around the fanservice topic Shimbori is doing outfits like that not being shown really before release wouldn't be surprising. Also lines up with characters like Tina and Christie not even having a 5th outfit in any of the public builds yet.
I just don't get it, it seemed like the fanservice topic had quieted down a bit due to what has been shown and some of Shimbori's more recent statements and people were just wondering about yet to be shown outfits and how many outfits each character will really have but he decided to make this a topic again..
Like holy shit just own it. He just keeps making himself and the game a target with these all over the place statements

Maybe it includes DOA6 Ultimate, Last Round and 10 dlc characters.
Dear lord, I can only guess that there is allot of pre-rendered cutscenes in the story mode.
I'm starting to think that Shimbori is really trying to sabotage this game's launch with his mixed messages about fanservice. Can he just shut up if he can't stick to a single clear message? Why does he have to keep contradicting himself with this issue? What a strange man.
The marketing team at Koei is terrible. They have a very bad system of announcing and putting out info. They should have just let him not say anything.

I really wish this weren't a thing. Make me press Forward + S or something to trigger the Break Blow. It shouldn't be automatic just because I had the meter.
It's because they want to please multiple audiences. They're sort of caught in the middle between wanting to be taken seriously as a fighter and a bunch of the core fanbase being otakus who complain loudly about any perceived censorship.
More time for the day 1 patch that probably fixes stuff they found or otherwise knew was wrong before shipment.
Likely. They've already confirmed there'll be a day 1 patch.
Bugs, performance optimization, fixes for Nyotengu...
They need to pick a side and stick with it because this constant flip-flopping is only hurting them.
Yea, they are doing a terrible job. They need to put a muzzle on him, I feel he's doing a lot of damage with his flip-flopping.

It's time to call KT's golden boy to the rescue
Yeah, he always looked great on stage excitely giggling and drooling at the sight of the "Soft Engine".
It's more that he's been used to interviews since more than a decade and climbed the ranks to boss of Team Ninja.
He hasn't much issues with focus.
The problem was Shimbori's belief that the cheesecake that's been associated with DoA from the very beginning was the issue when there's not much of a difference with how fighters accepted by the FGC (i.e., SFV, SCVI, GGXrd) do things at this point, when gameplay quirks like the hold/counter system and less guaranteed damage have been the problem with getting the franchise to catch on competitively. Addressing gameplay should've been the primary focus, yet any attempts to talk about that always got derailed by people thinking the fanservice was going to be taken away rather than being pushed more to the background for eSports presentability, the ones who complained loudest seeming to have forgotten altogether when Team Ninja tried toning things down before ramping them up gradually in DoA5.
Poor PR decisions on Shimbori's part and Western media outlets occasionally trumpeting it as DoA finally "maturing" or "growing up" to place greater emphasis on violence than sex appeal, along with the Japanese marketing and domestic media coverage taking a decidedly different tone in line with the rest of the franchise, have led to an ongoing series of mixed messages.
Hayashi's the main reason behind the current DOA identity crisis. He couldn't care less about DOA and at any prior events he would appeal to the lowest common denominator by demoing a bouncing feature or something stupid.
Nioh is the best thing out of Team Ninja in years. DOA is suffering identity crisis because they cant decide whether they want to go one way or the other
So going by this, they wanted to resubmit the master. But if the game is already at some retail stores, the master doesn't seem to have been delayed all that much. Retail copies arrived at the same time they would've normally arrived for a 2/15 launch.
I wish and she isn't the only one. I guess that plastic look will stay as well... Not expecting anything tbh at this point
But thats the thing. They were never so vocal about it with 5 that it seemingly dominated the discussion not to mention all that "this level of fanservice isn't acceptable anymore" nonense talk from Shimbori.
They tried it with 5 it didn't work out given how they increased the fanservice and even added DoAX like gravure videos at some point. Years of dlc and multiple season passes that clearly many bought so they kept going and now despite all that they wanna do that same dance again.
He should have just stood behind the project and how fanservice is part of DoA and then not constantly make it a topic himself and try to talk about toning down stuff. He is just making himself look bad and the games media at this point must think they are being trolled.
Guess we will see soon how many unlockable costumes the game has since its in the wild now.
Nyotengu is a day 1 DLC character and the last character they're working on. Would be logical if there's some last minute bugs to fix on her.
edit: I wasn't hoping for anything btw, just stating reasons for the day 1 patch.
I see thought there was anything particular glitchy about her I missed in the footage or something.
Also isn't she more day 1 "dlc" seems like a Tira situation where the character could have easily been in the base roster. Really not a fan of this trend where devs basically show you that the characters are just held back to be dlc.
During that long MaxFes stream the other day, Manny mentioned in chat that the team was still working on the ground game, among some other things.
