lol this is funny and i doubt will last long, Most people dont wanna sit and watch others play, I wonder how long it will take a black man to come in and dominate like they do most other sports? JK

Video games dont take practice or skill like real sports, you pretty much have to practice 80 hours a day, playing the same game over and over, and you pretty much win every time that way, thats what fatality does he plays a game 17 hours a day and memorizes every thing.

Real sports you really cant win that way.

@NotoriousJnX:

Go buy quake 3 and
Come to area 51 or download some team matches from highly ranked teams then tell me you don't like watching people play. Some players out there truely are incredible!

Then on top of that the quake 2 players where almost alway deadly with just a machine gun!

It's too bad these games are not on there. Really though Who ever gets or draws the best players will be rolling in the money. This could actualy help QA testers for game developers too!

if they wanted to do console games, wtf... no halo?

and i'd take soul caliber, tekken, virtua fighter, or some of the capcom 2d fighters over DoA.

and Fifa is a random choice.... if they wanted to do a sports game, it should have been madden imo.

The mere thought of watching other people play bad videogames is making me bored. I can't even imagine people sitting down in front of their TV in the living room to watch people play DoA.

With the draft location being the playboy mansion this part caught me by surprise "Each team will have a mixed-double team of two DOA4 players, one man and one woman .." if they really wanted to include women they would have chosed a different location but I guess female gamining pro's are used to putting up with lots of crap. The location certainly makes it seem more like a boys club to me.

Currently only 18+ will be drafted, so all the under 18 crowd won't be going to the Mansion.

Hint: DOA may not be as technical as VF, but to the target audience (males 10-25), DOA is a lot more fun to watch. Bounce-bounce-bounce....

Aren't a lot of the people kinda young to be at the Playboy Mansion? I mean, isn't that one Halo 2 player, like, 6 years old or something? He does this, he's going to have bragging rights over all his friends for, like, the rest of his life.

@vgachi:

I was thinking of making a similar comment, but consider that most fighting game players who would watch match videos already do, and most fighting gamers who would watch match videos are usually not going to watch, let alone play, any DoA game.

Why watch people I've never heard of get picked to play a game that sucks when I can already watch people I know are good play games that are good? Obviously, I am not the target market for this whole affair.

Also, the whole "man-woman team" idea for DoA sounds terrible. I'm not going to start a whole thing of guys vs. girls, but arbitrarily picking teams based on sex rather than on actual skill is nothing but a ratings-grabber for stupid people. Then again, that seems to be the primary demographic they're going for, and they'll probably take any ratings they can get. I'm waiting for the day that gaming and TV can come together and not be aimed at retarded middle-school kids and possibly acknowledge the fact that most gamers are actually adults now.

Video gamin ain't no spectator sport! You don't want to watch other people playing for an extended amount of time, you'll eventually want to pick up a controller and play.

Didn't it drive anybody nuts back in the day of 2 player alternating (insert nostalgic title here) where you wanted your friend to mess up and die right quick so you can get a crack at the level?

@droptop: I know. The first thing I recall ever being called sports entertainment was the WWE. Popular, yes, entertaining, eh, legitimate.... well, they certainly are... athletic. I doubt the same can be said for these people.

Of all the fighting games, DoA4 is what they picked?!? Even if they say the better fighters are older and don't output in hi-res HD programming, there's still Virtua Fighter 5, which is infinitely more in-depth than DoA.

I can't wait to see where this is going. Video games, if you think about it, can encompass so many different sorts of activities and talents into one sum, all intended to entertain and in some cases to bring people together.
