Team Ninja teasing DOA6?
- Thread starter jbug617
- Start date
Genuinely felt sad for the DOA competitive scene, they were really hoping for something to revitalize the community. The commentators were on about better online play, new character or a DOA x VF crossover to merge the two communities. They got a funeral instead that buried the scene.
But the franchise isn't dead, therefore there's a possibility we'll see DOA 6 someday...
So the answer was Dead the whole time. Now where will the displaced Virtua Fighters go? Soulcalibur? FEXL?
:(
Hey, let me have some hope, please...
:(
Not a fan of DOA but I even tuned in hoping for an announcement of some sort. When i realised that it was going to be nothing i couldnt help but think of all the salt the actual fans must be feeling lol. Then again would they announce a new game at NEC?
It'll happen. Dead or Alive makes way too much money for them for them to just can the series outright.
Honestly I hope their next announced project is Ninja Gaiden 4 though. >_>
I thought that was obvious? It was the way the announcement was made, coupled with fans' expectation of a new DOA title, that made it so depressing.
What a disaster. Why say that you were going to announce something when what you really meant was that you had a message for fans? Why be so vague? They made it sound like DoA is dead or on permanent hiatus while the DoA team works on 3rd party games like presumably Dissidia. They should have just said (with no prior announcement) 'This is the end of the line for DoA5, unfortunately DoA6 is not currently in production but we'd love to do it someday.' Would have been super disappointing but people would have understood.
I've been waiting for DoA6 for years, though. One of my all-time most anticipated games. I didn't really believe they'd announce it at a tourney like this but I thought we'd get something. Not a funeral.
I don't get it, why is this tweet proof of anything? What's the source? We all saw the announcement vid from NEC, after all. Is he saying he has further info?

I mean, they really didn't suggest anything to give the impression it was still alive. Just that the Dead or Alive team was working hard on anything but Dead or Alive, and that DOA itself is going away for a while. That, coupled with the almost oppressively depressing tone of the stream's end reeeaally makes it feel like DOA is truly dead.
Damn right it was. You have a dude on stage basically saying it's probably his last time being there and telling the community to stay strong among other things... like what the hell was their intent? lmao
Pretty much. We knew before that the dlc ended for 5. They also ended the support for tournaments, which means if 6 happens that it's so far off that the make a loss if they continue til it arrives. Dude at the end almost cried. They gonna work on Nioh 2.
Well, I saw these tweets as well:
"•• DOA rpers && fans... can you please just calm down? I don't know the source you're getting this from, but you really should calm yourselves. TEAM NINJA said they are done with supporting DOA5LR. They did not say anything about the franchise being done/ dead or whatever.I have a good source and they told me the "DOA Team is very much active." So you guys are not paying attention. But I need to inform you all that TEAM NINJA is very secret with their projects. They don't want to leak anything, they rather leave you all in the dark until they can catch you all off guard and surprise you. It is the very same thing they did with DOA5. You all seriously need to calm the F- down."
I don't know how reliable they are though.
Withdrawing support and cutting ties is not a good look. Most companies just lets their games die in silence, or announce a new one to shift the attention. They don't just put the axe on it.
The fuck was even the point ? One part of the video can't even be heard properly because there was a train moving nearby. A hack job it was, just straight up buried any community left for the series.

What he's saying is what Hayashi stated

It's why I was confused when I clicked this thread and saw that people got the impression that they were killing the franchise.
That sounds like something team ninja would say. Also this mirrors what the dev at the tourney said.
With the dude at the end tearing up and the devs stating that they will be gone for a while....what did they expect? Also I fairly sure tecmo made a lot of money from the costumes etc...
I have been WAITING for ERA to come back up just for this thread.
I'm just baffled yo, I honestly don't understand what they were thinking with this. Why did they announce it like that? They could have said something along the lines of "please tune in as we say farewell to DOA 5." but I don't think they should've announced this in the first place.
After 5 years and making money hand over fist in DLC I'm sure much more than they could have anticipated, and yet they come up with this? I'm still waiting for the surprise DOA 6 announcement. I'm so disappointed, I can't imagine how the hardcore fans feel.

See you next year.
*coming back to era after the maintenance*
An incredibly heartfelt message for the doa community but man team ninja should have been clear about this "announcement" just say you want to address the community about something.
Of course DoA as a franchise is not dead but the big take away is that after telling people about the end of the content support for doa5 and end of the battle royal tournament series... Team Ninja could not tease a DoA6 there or even just tell people to look forward to news in 2018.
I have no doubt DoA6 is in development in some form but it sure ain't coming or even getting announced any time soon.

They absolutely have plans for DOA6. They're just not going to announce it at NEC where there's no media attention.
I mean, suddenly announcing you're effectively killing off the latest game now would CERTAINLY get the media attention now.

This. For me it bascically translates to "we're busy with other projects now, don't expect news about DOA6 for like a couple of years."
If DOA6 was getting announced in 2018 they wouldn't have bothered with this.
