I'm giving them a chance at least... They know their roots (VF), and they're trying their hardest to clear their name up of being a "TnA Fighter"... Sure, they're still giving that vibe off, albeit so incognito, but they're still making moves in the right direction, gameplay wise...
It could be worse, as in DOA5 ends up becoming DOA4.2 rather than what the people want, which in my mind would've happened had either 1)Itagaki stayed with TN, or 2)The community overall (FSD, TKP, DOAW[?]) didn't say a damn thing to TN about the game and its much needed changes/overhaul...
