Dead or Alive 4 is finally available in Asia, so Ruliweb already did a few videos of the game. So enjoy the realtime intro video, and a few fights, mirrored here since the korean servers are quite slow for a lot of people.
Thanks so much for putting up these mirrors. The game should arrive in USA tomorrow, everyone. Can't wait!
EDIT: And check out those new moves, wow! I liked the part in the intro where Hitomi and Jann Lee just go all out in the casino level. That looked very fun and, in a way, pretty dang funny.
Is it just me, or do the graphics of DOA4 look only marginally improved from those in DOA3? I mean, DOA3 in it's own right looked like a next gen game, and I think DOA4 isn't vastly improved over 3.
The environments looks a lot better, to be sure, but the characters, they look almost the same, IMHO.

The characters are definitely more rounded and have more detail in the muscle tone where appropriate, but the clothing looks amazing both visually and physically. The hair needs a little work but it isn't a dealbreaker in the visuals.
The animation is something that makes it very much next-gen though, no stuttering or snapping between animations just non-stop high-speed action. The counter moves are probably the best I've ever seen!
The environments speak for themselves though don't they? I didn't even realise the seafront marketplace had a way down to the beach!
I hope US version works on EU XB360, I may consider importing, it's almost a month for us europeans until it gets here, so if anyone can try and see if it works I'll be grateful.

The character skin for the girls look like they were re-used from DOAU. That's the only thing I notice that looks similar to the past games. What Team Ninja should do is add self-shadowing, and have a claymation look to the characters like in Blue Dragon.
