What better way to prepare the fans for the 10th anniversary of the Dead or Alive series, than by announcing of a new Dead or Alive game? Said and done, master Tomonobu Itagaki from Team Ninja revealed that he already has a few things in mind for the future Dead or Alive 5, specifically regarding the battle modes. For instance, unlike the previous editions, it seems that the new game will not feature Tag Team Battles anymore. Or another example offered by Itagaki was that... umm... actually, that's all, no other details were given. Or at least they weren't reported by GameFront.de, as the German website only mentioned that Itagaki would also like to hear some suggestions from the fans, for the fifth part.
The brief announcement was made during a press event organized by developer Team Ninja in Tokyo, celebrating ten years of hot, juicy, catfighting. And since they're trashing a game mode, maybe they'll also consider trashing more clothes from the female characters' wardrobe, and show us what next-gen physics and high-definition assets are all about. For conclusive reference, you can check out they newly released Dead or Alive: Xtreme 2 (albeit it's not as violent as the raw DoA series, but who cares, with such inviting... environments).
I'm therefore shamelessly looking forward to the first Dead or Alive 5 screenshots and trailers, although I'm sure it's going to be a pretty long wait: for now, the game has not been confirmed for any platform (but everyone's guess is the Xbox 360, given the series' recent history), and there is no release date set as of yet.
