Some comments from Tecmo regarding DOA3...on PS2 + GC:

Itagaki was first asked to address the issue of Dead or Alive 3 for the PS2 and GameCube. It is technically impossible," he stated, continuing with "The [graphics] quality would drop." Itagaki believes that the Xbox can achieve four to five times the performance of current machines.

of course, this is the guy who said HE maxed out the DC on DOA2.

hmmm, you gotta wonder about thse guys sometimes. Money under the table, perhaps?

well from the screenshots of DOA3 that came out of E3 I\'m not going to argue with him.

but I do expect Xbxo to be 3x\'s better graophically otherwise I won\'t be as interested in getting one

At this point, I wouldn\'t argue with him. From what I\'ve seen at E3, the X-Box is graphically superior to the GC. I wouldn\'t be surprised though, if Tecmo could pull off something similar with the PS2.

I can\'t wait till xbox is out for at least a year, then it will so obvious who\'s the king of all Graphics and speacial effects.

WHo\'s your DADDY, MR XBOX!!!!!!

Hyper?  Is that you?  I thought you loved the NGC, and now you\'re saying that the NGC is the most inferior?

I wouldn\'t argue with him either.  The Xbox is graphically superior to both the PS2 and the NGC (as of right now -- I expect as the developers learn more about the PS2, the graphics on it will start to easily compare to the Xbox\'s).  But he also implied later in the article that a newer DOA would be coming to the PS2/NGC eventually.  I am still predicting a DOA3:Hardcore though, even after what Itagaki said.  Just wait, it will come.

what kind of an idiodic reason not to por it to the other machines is that???  ohh, the graphics would be lower in quality, pfft

anyhoo, im sure it\'ll be a good game, but ive never really given em a chance

Well I agree, it\'ll take a year for things to start flowing on XBox just like it did for the PS2.

well...yes...I\'m starting to realize that X-Box is really a Monster...I mean...it has still 5 months to go and some developers can easy produce the kind of Graphics seen in DOA3 or Project Ego....and I think developers need a lot of time(at least another 2 years) to take full advantage of features like "program-able vertex" and UMA...I think....and...however...nobody has seen what PS2 can really do...and the same for GameCube !
Let\'s wait and see !

of course, this is the guy who said HE maxed out the DC on DOA2.

And I believe that he did. DOA2 still looks great, and there isn\'t much better looking games on DC. From a graphical standpoint, DOA2 is pushing tons o polys. Now maxxed it 100%, I doubt it, but he did push it far.

I guess I kind of figured this. And buy the looks of the latest screens this games is going to be a monster.  And being a game fan I can\'t wait to get my hands on this game.

Yeah, well, Luisi\'s Mansion didn\'t quite cut it for me, as well as the rest of Nintendo\'s E3 showings.

Yeah, and then they say (this is not an actual quote, but it sums up what they said quite nicely ), "Just wait until Spaceworld.  We\'ll show the \'real\' stuff then."  LOL, yeah right.

well i think that DOA3 could be done on the PS2 - it won\'t be as easy but it could be done

if the xbox is getting that much power now than what is there to look for
