Make the game for their fans, not for EVO. Forget about EVO. Dead or Alive doesn't belong in eSports and they just need to stop trying.

why reboot we still haven't see the main bad guy face just go on with story forward

Do the same thing they did with Ninja Gaiden 3. Release an updated version that fixes some of the issues with it (razers's edge), and then let it die. Update a few models, update some animations, remove Break/meter, add tag mode and improve the netcode, add more stages and add more interactions in those stages.

I don't think DOA as a fighting game has a future. The e-sports people don't play it for whatever reason, and the most of the casual DOA fans already moved on to Xtreme series.
Spending so much resources for a few of us don't make sense for TN, sadly.

I agree with GhoulMaxing. They could call it a Redux, which is the term now. Offer it free to current DOA6 owners on steam and for sale to those that don't have the game.

reboot or not it doesn't matter if they keep making half ass games.

Bring back the creator of DOA Tomonobu Itagaki to make DOA great again. It's not the same without his Tekken trash talking and rivalry with junior Harada.

You think that Koei Tecmo will be that generous? Thanks for cheering me up. Thats a knee slapper. XD

Wait to see what Virtua Fighter is cooking, and copy it if it's worth copying.
It would have been nice if DoA could have capitalized upon Tekken 8's struggles, but they didn't put themselves in a position to do that before VF can, so now it's better to hang back and see if there's going to be a new meta as to how 3D fighters are designed. This would be the worst possible time to rush out the same old formula with slightly nicer graphics.

Make a game for the devs and for the fans. Not for evo to wokes or whatever.
If both the devs and the fans like it nothing else matters, esp. as the playerbase is already there, both single and multiplayer as well as a dedicated modder scene.

I think the answer is fairly simple. Gauge what the audience liked and disliked about each title in the series, then try to incorporate as many of the positives while getting rid of as many of the negatives. A DOA7 that encapsulates the best this series has offered while mitigating as many of its' critiques would, imo, probably sell well.

Should Koei Tecmo push out DOA7, a reboot of the series, or just let it all go.
