Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate

I'm not surprised. This is the first time they've ported something to PC so they probably want to test the waters, much like what other Japanese developers are doing. They have no idea exactly how big the PC market is. People will eat up their PC ports like candy if they put more effort into it.

Given the bad press over this, the abrasion with the modding community, and the number of pre-orders being cancelled right now, I don't see there being a next time.

The project probably needed more time as well, which I'm sure was not granted.
 

I liked this, was a nice read.

At this point hyping it is like telling everyone your fighters' kick each other. Of course they do.
And just like that Divekick spat out it's coffee.

There will probably be a next time, if only to attempt to save face. I'm not really sure how this got fucked up though and so badly. I thought most arcade cabinets these days were actually running windows. (I know the KOF XIII and BlazBlue leaks I saw were windows native.)
 
So Team Ninja today revealed a collaboration with Dead or Alive 5 Last Round and Falcom corporation to include costumes of many heroes from Falcom games. I doubt many of you guys even know about Falcom, much less played their games, but suffice to say, if you've heard of Ys, Popful Mail, Brandish, Dragonslayer or Legend of Heroes, they were all games developed by Falcom. And if you were lucky, many of them were translated and brought to the states. Anyway here's the trailer and below I have the names and origins of each character.

Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky
Lei Fang: Estelle Bright - Main Character of the game. Sporting her Second Chapter look.
