This new trailer shows some gameplay footage of Akira (from Virtua Fighter 5) in the upcoming Dead or Alive game! Akira’s gameplay looks similar to his VF counterpart and looks a lot the same. Hit the jump for the trailer.
So, it seems like the idea of crossing over is the hot topic these days. As long as fans are pleased I think it’ll be a good thing to have. Akira looks really great in DOA5’s in-game engine and what the hell is happening to the stage?! Woah.

Hopefully this is a tease of a new VF in the works or port of the new arcade one. We really need a new VF, VERY underrated.
I agree. It is underrated everywhere except Japan where their FGC knows the merits of learning VF. In any case, I still think a new VF might pop in the next 2 years and Sega will want the console version of Final Showdown to get it’s share of hype before announcing something at AOU.
Dear or Alive 5 I have always considered a laid-back play-for-fun game in the days of Itagaki but who knows how this one will turn up like?
I am actually glad Akira’s gameplay looks intact.
