]]>After previously stating he wasn't interested in a DoA vs Tekken style hybrid, Team Ninja studio head Yosuke Hayashi seems to have had a change of heart - well, as least with something other than Tekken.
]]>The version of Dead or Alive 2 Tecmo published for PS2 was incomplete, driving franchise creator Tomonobu Itagaki to found an independent studio.
]]>"Itagaki might have left, but the hatred for Tekken is still around in the team [laughter]. So when we see Street Fighter X Tekken and those kinds of games… We’re coming out with Dead or Alive. We don’t need to rely on anything else to present Dead or Alive as a strong fighting game in the genre. We don’t need that kind of thing to prove ourselves. We understand that Tekken has… It opened the way for 3D fighting games, we understand that it has a long history, we respect that history, but we’re coming in as a challenger to those 3D fighting games. We’re there to represent and take them on." - Team Ninja studio head Yosuke Hayashi to VentureBeat.
]]>Andriasang has posted a few shots of Dead of Alive 5's Ayane and Hitomi, and we've got them for you below. There's also a few shots of Hayate going at it with Ninja Gaiden's Ryu Hayabusa over on the site (via Famitsu), as well as the new Power Flow system. You can access those shots through here. DOA5 is now 15% complete, and its release date is TBA 2012. It will be made available on PS3 and Xbox 360.
]]>"I'm thinking about Itagaki and when [former 1UP editor and Q Entertainment's James Mielke] was with you guys that was a big topic -- the 'what are your five most hated games?' article where he said 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 were all Tekken, right? If Itagaki was still making Dead or Alive, I'd like to ask, out of all the current Tekken titles we have planned, what's his favorite. His answer would probably be Dead or Alive anyway, and that he hates all Tekken, but it'd be an interesting question. In the past, Itagaki had always mentioned various things about Tekken and stuff, especially on 1UP in his articles with [Mielke]. And there were a few times when I got p**sed at what I saw, but I'm kind of realizing that when I saw what he was saying -- after he quit Team Ninja, I think he was asked about fighting games and what he thought, and apparently Itagaki said, 'Well I don't make fighting games anymore, so I'm not really in a place to comment on that' -- I felt kind of sad when I saw that." - Tekken creator Katsuhiro Harada, speaking to 1UP about Dead or Alive creator Tomonobu Itagaki's infamous trash-talking of the series.
