Everyone’s favourite supreme ultimate fist college student Lei Fang is back for Dead or Alive 5.
The Dead or Alive series has always been known for one thing: boob physics. The game’s developers pride themselves on their ability to render realistic — or what they think that means — in-game breasts.
I admit it: I may well be the world’s worst ninja. My sense of timing is less than exemplary, my coordination is not always great, and sometimes I just plain lose track of what’s going on.
While it was once one of the most popular and well received series in gaming, Dynasty Warriors seems to receive more and more negative feedback with each iteration. This is not due to radical shifts in gameplay and/or tone — as many game sequels are accused of doing — but rather the exact opposite: Negative comments centre around Tecmo Koei’s insistence to stick to the formula that made it a well-known franchise. I’m not so sure, though, that this hate from gamers is justified.
In recent years, the Dynasty Warriors series has found new life by merging its signature gameplay with popular anime; first Gundam, then Fist of the North Star, and now One Piece. But is One Piece: Pirate Warriors just more of the same old hack-and-slash we’ve come to expect, or is there some treasure buried just under the surface?
There are a lot of surprises in One Piece: Pirate Warriors but none are quite as impressive as how good the game looks. Much like Sega’s Valkyria Chronicles, the entire game is rendered in a cel-shaded art style, with all the shadows made to look as if done via a coloured pencil. The result is the perfect visual style for a game based on a Japanese manga-turned-anime.
You know how outfits like Major League Gaming are full of sponsored kids playing the latest game at breakneck speeds? This is the exact opposite.
Chet Holzbauer can’t remember any other gift from that mad Christmas Day scramble 20 years ago. As far as he knows, the cacophony of torn paper came to a stop, like the needle coming off a record, when he and his brother unwrapped Tecmo Super Bowl.
