So many good games out now and up coming that I kind of forgot about this one. I'm trying really hard to not remember, so the wait doesn't feel like the SC6 wait.

I kind of want to just wake up one day and be like "Oh DOA6 is out." Then quit my job and play until I run out of money and get evicted.

Solid strategy. The only trick is not to wake up one day thinking to yourself, "I guess some game was going to be released like half a year ago? Ah, whatever."
:D

That lei outfit looks sweet.

As much as I'm hoping dive and drown in SC6, I think I'm likely going to get more sucked into this.
 
it looks the same graphically as 5? tekken sf and this are not legit improvements visually I really hope mk11 is an actual step forward

All of those are improved visually from their prior incarnations. Either you are wanting shifts in artistic direction or you want something a ps4 isn't going to do.

I spent some of my day playing doa5 and the media for 6 looks artistically the same but the visual details, lighting, and cloth presentation is noticeably stronger.

Is it the same kind if improvements we were seeing between games 20 years ago? not really, but I'm pretty happy with how it's looking.

sf is a cartoon so i shouldnt have listed that but- the rest should progress towards complete photorealism. ESPECIALLY mortal kombat, which originally was photo sprites of real actual people- so why cant mk11 be as photorealistic as modern shooting games?
 
Tbh nobody said that. Some people think that this is exactly the reason devs aren't in a hurry - aiming to release on new consoles.

DoA, I feel, is a bit different matter...
I get it that DOA isnt supposed to be photoreal but, i still think they can progress visually, the way final fantasy is complex despite being 3d anime aesthetic

I don't know that I personally would want that from many games. Not against a fighter looking hyper realistic, but not as a rule. Being at a point where a look can be an artistic choice is pretty powerful.

There are some reasons why fighters could lag slightly behind other game types. Mostly because we have to have have consistent fames. And we need to hit 60fps when a lot of games are willing make due with 30. I personally think 30 is a terrible concession to make in the name of a better screenshot, but studios keep doing it. Studios that also tend to have drastically higher budgets than those making fighters.

Since you say modern shooters are what we should be shooting for, any particular images of one that showcases what you are looking for?

How probable is Kokoro? I've been tooling around with 5 on occasion to not be stone cold when 6 drops, but I was always most interested in Pai. Pai is my original VG girl, but I don't expect VF characters to return so I need somewhere else to go.

Momiji and Kokoro were the most interesting to me, but I don't really have a sense of how important they are as being in demand, return characters. I don't see them as Zach, Kasumi, Lei Fang level popular. I know Kokoro was in 4, so I'm hoping there is a good chance she will be in.

I've been trying Lei Fang since we do know she is in and was a lock anyway, but I'd rather go Koko.

For what it's worth, people on FSD seem to be pretty optimistic about almost every non-guest character being in.

Marie Rose and Honoka... but why though?
I know why, because they appeal to certain types of gamers... ugh...
We're totes focusing on making, y'know, and actual competitive fighting game, guys.

...okay, I admit I'm more mad about Honoka than I should probably be.
