A spartan in Dead or Alive 4

It's been known since a few days now, but now here is the absolute proof with these images. Yes you heard it right, there will be a female Spartan in Dead or Alive 4, the story behind this should be interesting, to say the least :)

The model is nice, but the poor effects of the DOA4 engine (reflections, shadowing, etc.) are even more glaring as the only difference between this and the Halo2 MC model is the texture resolution (which won't be anywhere near as noticable on a regular TV :/ ). The environment is also superbly underwhelming.

Color me unimpressed. I really don't get you, Itagaki...
IT'S A TRIBUTE TO THE HALO SERIES!!!! They are NOT trying to *improve* the Level graphics(that would be an insult)

What are they supposed to do? Add Mokeys? maybe Dinosaurs? some scantily clad women?

It is simply a level from a XBOX game, they have no desire to *improve* the GFX, You should feel like you are playing the xbox game, but in high rez.

I think these are the best looking DOA4 pictures so far. Hayabusa looks cool.
BTW, I don't find it very easy to see that it's a voman :D

Looks great. DOA4 looks loads better than any of the XBOX DOA's, if you can't tell the difference you are obviously blind, I also fail to see how self shadowing will make the game look better, it could end up making it look worse. Heaven forbid they actually want to have thier own style. Shame on them.

I'm getting rather sick and tired of everyone wanting everything to be super realistic and most of it just looks like crap anyway, honestly I'm getting tired of all the same old crap that looks alike. I can't wait till someone makes a cel shaded game for the 360, but it will probably never happen cause all they would hear is how crappy it looks for not being "realistic".

Also, the blur effect is not used during gameplay, it is only used in a special cameraman mode.

I should also point out that the stage is an actual area from the game if nobody has noticed. It takes place during the first part of the game when you are on the ship and the Covenant are boarding it to plant the bomb.

Hmm...i dont know.
Sorry, i dont like it that much.
I mean...serious...is there any diffrence between the master chief and an "female" spartan?! They look the same. I would have liked to see cortana.
But this? Boring.

I agree, I was hoping for Cortana.

Even tho I'm a big DOA fan, I agree that this character doesn't impress me.

But I will say that actual gameplay footage will be way better than still pictures any day.
Can't wait to see gameplay and fighting style of this Character.

That Halo arena looks really bland and flat compared to the bumpmapped environments in Halo 1.

I like DOA. I have never liked Halo. I hated the "guests" in Soul Caliber 2.

Yet this looks sweet.

are you kidding me halo 2's level and scale of combat >>>>>those two games.
Dude, your talking gameplay...im talking graphics. And as I recall, Riddick and Chaos Theory took alot longer to beat then Halo 2 did.

Riddick is one of the shortest games i've ever played on the xbox.

Practically everyone who commented in any forum i've read said it was beautiful graphically but obviously short because of it.

I'm not saying it's perfect, far from it. But saying it looks like CRAP like you said is just an invitation for a flamewar.
Well Blim, it does look like crap. Sorry but you have to consider this is next gen. No matter what their style is (anime) and no matter what other excuses they have, that doesn't looks next gen.......not after you see DOAU.

PGR3 looks next gen, Kameo, etc......not this, it does look like crap if you consider it is a next gen title developed by Team Ninja no less......

"Obviously short because of it" What? So, it was short because it had great graphics? OKKKKKK

Anyways, when a game is great, it doesn't matter how short it is, the game remains great but with less replay value. Riddiick is an awesome game, you should play it. I rent it and ended up buying it because, in my opinion, is one of the best Xbox games.

The game looks next gen to me, there is no way they could have gotten that good of cloth simulation on the XBOX. The stages and thier clothing are also way more detailed than they were in DOAU. DOAU does look good, but it doesn't look anywhere near as good as this does. I don't see what the problem is with the graphics, they look great.

Tell us, what does next-gen look like to you?

i disagree with you, gfx in my opinion in halo2 looks better but this can be a matter of preferences. I just like it more, art and all effects are mindblowing.

Back on doa4 - this stage looks like from halo2 really just look on it i'm shocked. And spartan model looks worse then original model in halo 2 just compare 1 screnshot with this:

The DOA4 spartan looks better to me, the one in HALO2 just looks way to normal mapped and looks like ass(same with all the other overly normal mapped games, Doom3, quake 4, Condemed, Riddick).

The doa4 model has all the same detail of the Halo 2 model, its just modeled on, not normal mapped like in Halo 2, which makes it look better IMO.

totally agree
i think we should demand from dev better gfx instead of defending them "why it's not looking so bad"

Why would any soldier wear a shinny suit in battle anyway, super soldier or not? The dull, non polished look is more realistic and looks better.

The game has reflections, just look at Zacks teletuby suit, its obvious they opted to go for a different look for the Spartans visor.

If they could include self-shadows and reflections, this would look amazing.
Considering the amazing visuals Itagaki and his team produced with the Xbox, I expected more from DOA4 in terms of graphics. Hopefully TN will get their act together with NG2.

I agree with bloodforge, this one looks far better than Halo 2's normal mapping.
