「Itagaki on DOA‘s stage transitions」 “We wanted to create dramatic gameplay moments, which made things really hard for the stage designers (laughs). They kept asking, “How many are we supposed to make?” and I’d push them by saying, “Don’t be so stingy!” That’s how we got the stages done... back then. But dropping a character from a height like that is not, in itself, a particularly new idea. Games like Mortal Kombat did it a long time ago, didn’t they? You fall out of the stage, get impaled and die instantly. So it remained a visual effect. Our approach was different. Players had complained that ring outs were boring, and the simple solution would have been to surround everything with walls but that would make the visuals feel way too cramped. So we went all the way with the walls. We made them as detailed as possible, but we didn’t want it to be only walls either. So we made it so that you fall….but the game continues. It takes a lot of damage though. What we liked the most was the surprise of the scene transitions. You fall, and then a whole new world opens up below you.”show more
