Dead Or Alive 5 Influenced By Uncharted's Falling Mechanics
CVG recently posted an interview with Dead or Alive 5's Yosuke Hayashi and among the many interesting tidibts about the game's development, was the influence Uncharted had the latest release.
Surprisingly, it's not the excellent facial animation or high-quality voice acting that Dead or Alive 5 sought to recreate, but rather the mechanics of Drake falling, and the destruction of the environments. "It was the whole stage crumbling, and things falling off, and the characters rolling down, grabbing on to the ledges in Uncharted," that influenced Team Ninja's direction Said Hayashi "In Uncharted you fall off a cliff, or off a boat and things like that, and we thought moments like that would be great in DOA5's fighting system. We got really inspired by that, and we've tried to do something very similar."
It's interesting to see mechanics form a western developed third-person shooter/platformer having so much influence over a Japanese fighting game. Hayashi couldn't stop pouring the praise on the Uncharted developer saying, "We really respect Naughty Dog, their work is fantastic."
