DOA Ships Today

Posted by Zonk on from the fans-of-bouncy-fighting-games-rejoice dept.

Gamespot reports that the much-anticipated Dead or Alive 4 ships today, after a series of delays and confusion. From the article: "During the past month or so, the game's presumptive release date kept getting pushed back by about a week at a time by online retailers, causing many to wonder whether the game would indeed ship in 2005, especially since Tecmo remained mum about a specific release date all the while. But now fighting fans can look forward to an action-packed weekend courtesy of the latest game from Ninja Gaiden developer Team Ninja."

  1. Online system is susposed to be fantastic by the+computer+guy+nex · · Score: 4, Informative

    The online options include everything from daily tournaments, monthly tournaments of the highest rated players, and even Guilds/Clans.

    Kudos to a company that resisted the urge to release an unfinished game for the holiday season and made sure the game was perfect. This game should see a ton of success, and this decision should be a model for other companies.

  2. First Review by alphaseven · · Score: 4, Informative
    IGN reviewed it today, 9.0/10. While you shouldn't buy a game based on a single review (remember the Driv3r debacle, though IGN wasn't a part of that since they gave it a 5.4), everything I've read about the game by people that have played beta versions has been positive.
