From the Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_or_Alive_4):
Dead or Alive 4 (Japanese: デッドオアアライブ4, Hepburn: Deddo Oa Araibu Fō, abbreviated as DOA4) is a 2005 fighting video game developed by Team Ninja and published by Tecmo for the Xbox 360. It is the fourth main entry in the Dead or Alive fighting series.
The story of the game focuses on the continuing war between the Mugen Tenshin Ninja Clan and DOATEC, and Helena Douglas taking over the mantle of DOATEC as its new president, determined to fight against the corruption in the giant organization. The game's story mode introduces the player to new characters and opponents via combat which can then be played in the game's other modes.
DOA4 was generally well received, with an average score of 85/100 on Metacritic. By late 2006, the game sold over 1 million copies worldwide.
Dead or Alive 4 has a number of updates in reference to previous titles. New to DOA4 is the introduction of the "Bounce Combo" system. After knocking an opponent to the ground with a strike attack, players can execute a bounce combo to perform further attacks on the opponent when they are on the floor and bounce. Low attacks and some mid attacks can now be performed on opponents while they are down.
Certain stages now have moving obstacles that will cause damage to fighters if they are hit by them, and using a counter hold at the right timing can help players avoid being hit by them.
Certain stages now also have obstacles in which fighters can be knocked over them, and when the opponent is on the other side of an obstacle, players can jump over them and they can also perform flying attacks.
Characters' move lists have been vastly updated and four new characters have been added to the fighting roster, with returns from a couple of past characters as well. The counter system has been tightened, making the window for counters shorter and more difficult to execute, and the amount of damage that counters inflict has been changed. However, like Dead or Alive 3, the game features a relatively low number of costumes and several characters now had to be unlocked by the player including Helena.
Dead or Alive 4 features 22 playable characters, and multi-tiered and interactive fighting arenas. There are six modes in the game:
Story Mode, which offers the player to play with the character and learn their backstory;
Time Attack, where the player must defeat a set amount of opponents in the shortest possible time in one-on-one or two-on-two battles;
Survival Mode, where the player must defeat as many opponents as possible in one-on-one or two-on-two battles;
Team Battle, featuring teams of characters fighting each other, with a total of eight characters on each side;
Versus, a free play mode of standard one-on-one or two-on-two battles;
DOA Online, available via the Xbox Live and similar to the Versus mode, where players could interact in a similar fashion to an arcade setting fighting opponents at win/loss intervals.
On May 12, 2005, the first screens from the game were leaked on the Internet via the elotrolado.net message boards.[3] The first official screenshots, in-game demos and cinematics were presented by Microsoft at press conferences,[4] with the game originally slated to be a launch title for the Xbox 360. In an interview with Famitsu Xbox, Tomonobu Itagaki remarked that he spent 99% of his time developing the game, while only sleeping 40 minutes in four days.[5] Technical assistance for Dead or Alive 4 was given by Blindlight.
The game was delayed many times before eventually being released on December 29, 2005, more than a month after the Xbox 360 debuted,[6] having been initially held back by retailers.[7] Famitsu Xbox editor-in-chief Munetatsu Matsui pointed to Dead or Alive 4's absence as a launch title as the main factor behind the slow sales of the Xbox 360 in Japan.[8] This was the first main series game to have an M rating by the ESRB, due to a few female characters wearing a few revealing outfits and a few cutscenes.
Since Dead or Alive 4's release, a demo version of the game has been available for free download via Xbox Live in 2006. While the demo showcases the final version of the game, it is a very limited version and only a handful of the features are accessible, while the rest are locked down. Only the Time Attack and Verses modes are playable, there are just five stages available, and only Kasumi, Hayabusa, Brad, Tina, Eliot, and La Mariposa are playable. Some of the settings are also locked-out.
