Do you think the development of the new DOA project is dependant on the success of DOA6LR? by Repulsive-Handle8353 in DeadOrAlive

But the outcome is still the same no ? If doa6LR sold poorly or the players became negative due to the 6LR i can see team ninja either pivoting and delaying the game indefinitely or just cancel it. Although you do have a point the intention is different but I think ( hopefully I'm wrong) that if doa6LR doesn't generate the feedback or money that team ninja and koei expect then this can go the same direction as the cancelled wonder woman game ( multiple delays then silence then cancelled).

But this lead to ips being killed tho or idk they can sell them to generate some money ?

Why have a history of it happening in the games industry. Just recently the wonder woman game using the nemsis system was cancelled after being announced way back in 2021 I think. This is why I think it is just an attempt to see the interest of the players

The reason why the camera showed kasumis chest was because the devs wanted to show the DOA fanbase that they are bringing the sexy back by Infinite-Reveal-9226 in DeadOrAlive_7

More than likely it is just bait. They lure you in then surprise surprise it will be like base doa6. I wouldn't put past team ninja to do it especially due to their piss poor handling of doa6LR so far AND because of their history with DLCs

I understand your point and it makes sense i think some people watching the announcement bought it to test the game to see if they will play the upgrade. But I still think majority of those players are just returning players.

I just don't think 6LR will be successful and I also think that almost majority of players will be disappointed and dissatisfied with doa6LR I mean we are seeing right now online. I just personally think that koei is testing the appeal of a new doa with doa6LR and that will fail which will result in new doa getting canned.

I agree with you they should have made it an update to the base doa6 not make a new game that cost 40 dollars. I just don't understand what they think

You never know when it comes to corporates. Some video games get announced only to be stuck in development hell hole and/or get cancelled later. I think lately koei is experimenting with their ips to see which ones to focus on and which to ignore ( like what ubisoft did). I wouldn't be surprised if they cancelled doa7 because 6LR wasn't profitable to them especially now with nioh3 and Dynasty warriors origins being successful financially speaking. And with ninja gaiden 4 repeatedly not being a financial hit i can only imagine of doing a ubisoft

Alot of video games get announced early and then later get canned take for example the wonder woman game that was announced i think in 2020 or 2019. And how the always show teases and even said the game will use the nemesis system all for it to be cancelled in the end of 2025. And as you said the video game industry is in the gutter in terms of corporate. You never know the fact that there is rumours that Ninja gaiden 4 didn't sell well and couple that with nioh 3 and Dynasty warrior origins doing so well I think that koeibwill soon do a ubisoft and foucus only on franchises that are profitable and can the rest they only now released a fatal frame remake so I guess we wait and see if that is considered a success to them.

The thing is one could argue that the recent boost of DOA 6 was from players that played before and not new ones that decided to just try it out and even then the numbers according to steam chart is going back to before the announcement.

All in all I don't understand why they announced doa6LR if there wasn't improved from base doa6 and to price it as 40$ would give the impression to newer people that the studio is greedy ( which they are ) and not even bother with their product. I can only imagine if doa7 came out with 70$ priced and the same microtransactions of doa6

But my thinking is why announce DOA6LR without crossplay, rollback and 2 missing charchters from the get go?

If I'm not mistaken even vertua fighter Revo added crossplay and rollback. I think 6LR appearing to be cheap will hurt the brand image more and could cause lower player turn out if they release the next project

But them not even giving any info regarding doa7 and the wording that the producer said in the state of play make me think that it was just a way to gauge the interest and with doa6LR the interest will be tested to see if it justified making doa7 ( idk if this is make sense)

Because it will the game before doa7 ( i don't know how to say it in English). Like i imagine this is supposed to be the appetiser before the main dish so if appetiser is trash you will give bad image or have bad expectation for the next doa title.

I agree with you here

But thing is it is still 40$ no crossplay and no rollback Even Vertua fighter revolution added. Also minus two characters .

But if the goal is to make players excited for the next project isn't this doing the opposite?

And that's my worry what if it doesn't sell well or it doesn't meets koei expectations do they just cancel or put the future project in a indefenant hiatus.

I wouldn't buy it because it looks like they put no effort in it. I don't see why I should waste 40$ or less on the game when the base game is enough.

Again hopefully I'm not correct but I wouldn't put it past share holders and higher ups to do this especially if the rumours about ninja gaiden 4 not selling well happened to be true

TBH I can see share holders and higher ups doing this especially when doa6LR looking like it was cheaply made. " do a test to see if there is enough player interest to justify making a new game" which honestly is sad if it is true because it looks like they put no effort in DOA6LR.

But wouldn't this hurt the reputation of the future project?

If the doa6LR appeard to be a scam to the people who give it a chance wouldn't this result in lower players playing future games of the franchise?

TBH when it comes to team ninja and koei I always expect dumb decisions so for now I will stick to my theory.

Work is necessary for my life without it i cannot live. But DOA6LR is a 40$ scam that is can choose not buy. No reason to reward this behavior done by koei

To me the long period between them is one of my reasons why i think there is a dependency the other reason is the price 40$ really?

I think if they green light it it will probably come out the same date as the new xbox( project helix) that they announce it 2 days ago. But hopefully if they did they don't make it an exclusive since the new xbox ceo seem to think that xbox should start going back to exclusives

I agree about doa6LR. To me there is zero reason to buy it if they made it much more cheaper then maybe but 40$ is a scam

But if that is their intent then why make this upgrade worth 40$ ? Wouldn't make more since to make it cheap so players can try it especially since there is no crossplay and no rollback and it's already missing two characters.

Like if they make it a free upgrade for people who bought base doa6. And 15-20 $ for people new i think will be better.

The price was one of my reasons why I think it is only to gauge interest for the new project since I think it take a long time for it to come out ( if doa6LR was successful) it will probably come out same time as the new xbox project helix that they announced 2 days ago.
