More DOA on the way?

[wraggster]

Dead or Alive mastermind Tomonobu Itagaki has hinted that he might make another Dead or Alive beat 'em up once he's finished making volleyball spin-off, Dead or Alive X2.

Speaking to 1UP, Itagaki revealed that he isn't completely satisfied with last series offering, DOA4: "When I play DOA4 online simply as a gamer in my own right," he said, "I occasionally have times when I think I should have done something differently." He continues: "At the moment, I am making several other games; after I have brought those to completion I will be more ready to talk about the future of Kasumi and company."

Excellent news for beat 'em-up fans for sure. More good news comes this morning in the form of a new DOA4 demo, which has just hit Xbox Live. The demo weighs in at 680MB and features two modes, five stages and six playable characters. Itagaki says the odd timing of the demo (DOA4 was released more than six months ago) was to encourage new 360 owners to try the game out.

LMAO, i cannot wait for this, although by the sounds of it it wont even be mentioned until next year or even the year after. I am definitely looking forward to DOAX2 tho.
