Not really. What they're doing right now is keeping it clean with what they're showing to start with, putting on a good public face for anyone less familiar with or otherwise opposed to the series to make it more presentable for eSports, with plans to account for fan service with alternate costumes down the line.
This is essentially a repeat of DoA5's failed "I'm a Fighter" campaign.
That is what I expect. Makes no sense to remove one of your features.
I'm confused as to what universe a slender ninja with huge breasts in a skin tight leather suit would be "removing sexiness."
This isn't directed at you, just at the general sentiment regarding this game.
If you are talking about Kasumi then I don't consider this outfit sexy. It is a work outfit that somebody in some kind of special forces unit might wear, I don't consider her breasts huge as depicted in the OP. Doesn't help that the outfit she wears has little "flair".
I don't mind them going that direction, just seems strange to change it so suddenly even if I understand why (looks good in the public eye).
Especially since sexy outfits always will sell on both sides.
It will sell decently as usual. It's in that weird spot where it's not a huge game (like the SF/Tekken/MK/etc) but more a middle tier big game, like KI for example.
Launch probably not great but not bad either, but they seem to know what to expect. They're definitely more for esports than anything else this time.
Looks better than Tekken anyway imo. Especially given the resolution, stages/model detail and ligthing.
Yeah it's not leaked, it's in the video I leaked above :p
They both look relatively good and casual, but also relatively close. Might be because I like unique characters.
I know all these characters have tradition and big backstories but they don't do much for me.
It probably would be bigger if it had more released games and more distinctive features.
In contrast I could imagine that a new Virtua Fighter might be huge if they go the "Dark Souls of Fighting games" route and keep it very hard.
God, I really want a Virtua Fighter again, the last I played was on PS2 as well. xD
