The name Dead or Alive is very missleading, people very rarly die in this game. I think two people have actually died, That ninja girl, and that french girls father.

Genra,Raidou, Helena's mother, her father Fame Douglas, have all died.

Dead or Alive is named such much like the story behind Final Fantasy. When it was released Tecmo was in dire straights and Tomonobu Itagaki had an idea for a fighting game. If it didn't pan out for them the company was going to go under. So, they named it Dead or Alive. Either they made it or they didn't and turns out it was a hit and helped to keep the company afloat.

Wow, that looked pretty great. I was very much opposed to DOA without Itagaki, but seems worth checking out, there's enough new flavor to it that it's like one of those Animatrix remixes from the perspective of a new director.

Someone needs to tell them not to run trailers with narrative alongside rap music though, I had trouble focusing on one or the other because they had two voices talking at once.

Three things

1) That is a terrible and very fake French Accent.

2) That was some horrible rap music....did that rap artist's KickStarter not get funded so you got him for cheap?

3) Nobody likes Zack in the west in my experience, that is just my opinion, but it feels like there is a broader joke there for the Japanese that I'm not seeing.

I think at the next e3 they need Show host Chris Hansen(Catch a Predator) to sit down with the development team for an interview. He would show them clips form the game and ask them to explain why that is in there. No no sit down an TELL US why Zack is funny Tomonobu Itagaki. No no sit down and tell us why that part of the story is there or why the music stinks....non no please sit down and explain it to us.

Fuck yes. I know fighting game elitists look down on DoA, but fuck those guys. Not enough Hitomi in this trailer, though. I destroyed on XBL with her in DoA4.

If they would just stick to people fighting and the cheesecake that would be understandably...sexist but understandable....but they add the bad voice acting, the horrible 3rd rate music, and the offensive stereotypes too. When you go beyond a game that is merely 'male gaze' trashy to a game that is tastelessly bad you have crossed a line.

@SortedeVaras: Bang has a name that people knew would sound silly and it matches his character design. I find Fame Douglas to be the most funny name ever because DOA plays it straight, never realizing that the name is ridiculous.

Indeed. My ears can't handle the hippin' and hoppin' vocal rappin' going on at the same time as the voice overs.

@BasketSnake: Video games are dumb, welcome to the club.

@GunslingerPanda: The first few ones were good, it is just people dont like the later ones like 4, 2 was well liked from what I remember. This game looks good though, they even got Sarah to look hot.

Anyway, everyone loves boobs and the rap sounds like the dude who did P3.

As bad as the characterization of women is in fighting games, the characterization of black dudes is way, way worse.
