Halo character in DOA4 revealed

Quote:
Awhile back, Bungie confirmed that a character from the Halo universe would be appearing in Team Ninja's Dead or Alive 4 for Xbox 360. There was much speculation as to who the character would be, with most people pegging Cortana as the most likely character (for obvious reasons).

Well, the character has been revealed, and it's not Cortana. It IS a female, though - a female Spartan. Spartan-458, to be precise. We can't post images right now, as this was revealed in a US mag, but for those wondering, she looks pretty much exactly like Master Chief.

Also revealed in the magazine is the existence of a Halo-themed stage set in space. Spartan-458 and Ryu are shown fighting in a stage that looks like it was pulled right out of the first level of Halo 2, with what appears to be a planet/Halo (it's hard to tell) visible through the windows in the background.

So there you have it... a Halo bonus character in DOA4, Spartan 458, a completely unknown female version of Master Chief. What the ****...

Should have just put the MC in for Christs sake.

Re: Halo character in DOA4 revealed

If there is anything that does not fit into DOA then it's something like this.
And here was I, being happy that DOA doesn't have a robot...

Re: Halo character in DOA4 revealed

and they said they had a tongue and cheek actually mostly believable way to put them into the story, I REALLY have to see what they are saying is that "believable" lol I'd rather have seen cortana in like an android body, that would have been pimp

Re: Halo character in DOA4 revealed

Yeah, what they just did makes Samus from Metriod look like a babe. Come on, you might as well have just thrown in Master Chief, instead of making this Mistress Chief.

Re: Halo character in DOA4 revealed

That makes me sad inside. Halo is the bane of all things fun and good, and now it's encroaching on the one guilty pleasure of the console gaming world I have? Now it's for certain, xbox 360 will never see the interior of my home.

Wow, you're gonna skip out on entire console because DOA has a hidden character that you don't like? That's sad.

No, it's just the "nail in the coffin." I thought about it getting a 360 at one time, but with it being inferior to ps3 and more inexperienced in the console game industry than both sony and nintendo... I decided against it, DOA4 gave some glimmer of hope, but now that's dashed away as well. Not to mention the asinine concept of making a "rich man's 360" and a "poor man's 360." I think Microsoft's agenda is to slowly transform the console into a pc so that they can then go back to familiar grounds. Even though I'm more of a PC gamer, I still enjoy console games being... on a console.

Don't start making claims that you can't prove (yet).

Re: Halo character in DOA4 revealed

seriously consin boy, especially since DOA is one of the weaker series to me. I wont even be getting that on a 360, plenty of others to hold it. and actually PC gaming is the one dieing, just check the latest reports, while console sales have gone up by average of 30% PC sales have dropped by more than 35% with an expected 40% more to happen between now and 2008 if not more. Basically PC gaming is too expensive and people have started to drop from it. Since most PC games are now on consoles. PC games will always look better but most are not willing to drop 500 every year just to upgrade their graphics card/memory to keep up with the games. There will always be PC gamers but fact is its dropped to the hardcore only and soon there will hardly be any casual pc gamers. They'll either have a console or wont game. Those are facts not opinion btw. Just read any tech site you would like you'll see the same.

Also just a heads up Sony has even said there system is at the end of the day the same in potential to the xbox360. Not that I care since I'll have both but you should read more before dribbling on the forums

Re: Halo character in DOA4 revealed

Funny that my original post was intended as a joke. Oh well, nothing can be done about that.

But honestly, there really isn't much in the way of depth or orignality (not that there is much depth in the other chracters!) to an unnamed, allegedly female soldier in a boxy suit of armor. I suppose I'd be curious as to what possible fighting style or alternative costumes there would be (but considering what's available in Halo 1&2 it'll probably be different color schemes/decals). I don't know, maybe I'm just miffed at the apparent infraction of the unwritten law (so to speak) that the female characters in DOA should have jiggle and the male characters look like their in a line up of different stereotypical rapists (especially Zack's infamous "alien" suit).

oh and just to clarify, I haven't made any claims as in presenting my opinion as fact. Everything I type is my opinion unless I attribute it otherwise. That should go without saying for everyone, because doing otherwise is plagiarism. Just throwin' that out there, for no apparent reason for nobody in particular.
