It isn't ugly, just underwhelming for a next gen fighter. I expect next gen fighting games from Sega or Namco to look better than this.

if that E3 VF5 footage is any indication... looks like we'll need to see what Namco has in store..

i was gonna photoshop some shadows too... damn. maybe i still will, witha better pic

you mean the one that looks like it wasshot with a camera phone (no offense shog )?

the next-gen vf footage looked REALLY fucking good in person

 

[Ninja Scooter]

the impressive thing (to me) is how you can see the texture details and mapping on their clothing from far away, that lastgen you only saw in closeups. That said, its still not that mindblowing, and certainly doesn't seem like a generational leap from this-gen stuff.

I LIKE BOOBIES YES I DO, I LIKE BOOBIES HOW BOUT YOU?

i was there. it looked good, but not great to me. sure the models were improved over VF4, and had some pretty good animations, but i dont necessarily think their detail was beyond what we're seeing in doa4 (infact maybe less so)

Wait until you see the actual game.

I haven't been into fighting games in SOOO long.

I'm hoping the graphics are SOOO amazing in every genre on the Xbox 360/PS3 that I just can't help but play every genre

Or I'll be stuck in FPS world just as happy as I am now.

 

[op_ivy]

heres my quick 3 min stab at it

 

[FightyF]

Anyone have any pics of DoA prerendered CG artwork? It looks to be the same quality.

I wonder if the prerendered CG had shadows too...

 

[Zaptruder]

Looks really good.

... Shame it'll likely play like shit. :/

If I were one to buy games solely on graphics then I might buy this.

 

[trmas]

I don't get the graphics? Looks like the current DOA games on XBox...

 

[LuCkymoON]

Then you've never played DoA on the Xbox.

 

[trmas]

I've played it several times. It really isn't much of a leap, and I figured Team Ninja could do much better

Everything is a leap except for the character models.

The character models are more of preference, its their style, they dont want to change it.

 

[Propagandhim]

Looks beautiful...

..too bad the DOA series is just a huge button masher. Maybe this one will be alot more technical?

 

[FightyF]

Actually the character models are insanely detailed as well. Superhigh polycounts and razor sharp textures on all of them. Lots of cool physics with the hair and clothes especially.

This game is a perfect example of diminishing returns.

The artstyle was adequately represented with the number of polys and texture res and lighting techniques used for the last couple of games.

It's like trying to do Wind Waker on next gen consoles...it's not going to look much better, if Nintendo wanted to keep with the exact same looking characters. Sure, the background could be enhanced, but the characters will look the same for the most part.

Heck, even with billions of polygons, Tecmo has chosen to keep the same look in their CG art.

I don't think it matches the CG yet, and they have admitted that they were working on the visuals, but it's not that far off from a technical POV.

 

[Zeo]

Looks a little better than DOA3, but that blur effect looks stupid in screenshots. Don't know why they would try and show that off in pictures.

 

[J2 Cool]

Holy crap does she have a quick grab reflex. That could be useful.

Maybe if it had some decent shadowing, it wouldn't look so last gen...

The CG in the series show that there's still something they can do with the artstyle. It's not like they've reached the point where it can't look any better in game. The problem is that Itagaki seems ok with how they look. Which is strange when you consider that outside of the girls, the graphics are what the series is most known for to gamers.

 

[fiddlestick]

looks like doa on xbox but in HD

I like the depth of field in this shot but that's about it. Unless Team Ninja have fundamentally changed the way this game plays then I won't even bother trying it. More fighters is always a good thing but only when they work properly. DOA just doesn't work as a competitive fighting game, IMO

 

[Datrio]

...Plastic. Okay, so the graphics are good, even I can say that - but shit, that's PLASTIC. They plan to name it "DoA4: Barbie strikes back", or what?

And the boobies are too small (for o DoA game). Change it.

 

[PhoncipleBone]

Actually, she is hitting him with her arm, not grabbing him.

 

[jimbo]

Probably the most gorgeous game I've seen so far. Just plain beautiful. People are on crack.

 

[TigerKnee]

Damn this game looks fucking HOT HOT HOT!

 

[Baron Aloha]

The lighting is the only thing that bothers me about this game's look. I think the game would look MUCH better if there was some self-shadowing and whatnot going on.

The game still looks great though. I might actually buy a 360 next Christmas (if the price has dropped and they continue the tradition of packing in 2 games) just for this game.... that is if a PS3 version hasn't been announced by then.

 

[shantyman]

It has to be said- motion blur let me touch you!

 

[Red Blaster]

I fully expect the PS3 Tekken to destroy this graphically, you know, seeing how it uses actual skin textures.

 

[Docpan]

eh...

 

[Stinkles]

I fully expect the PS3 Tekken to destroy this graphically, you know, seeing how it uses actual skin textures.

Oh cool! Namco announced Tekken 3 for PS3 and revealed they'd be using real skin textures. Now we can fully expect it to destroy this other game.

:lol

Yeah, really.

 

[TheJollyCorner]

I'm not an Xbot, but I think this doesn't look too bad. Pretty good, actually. HD here we come.

PS4 Tekken will use actual skin.

 

[Raven.]

PS4 Tekken will use actual skin.

Of course that'd make it an Adults only rated game.
