This is the only Dead or Alive fighting game that never had any method of online play through official means, a PC port with rollback netcode would be incredible!

DOA3, the peak of the series and one of the absolute greatest in the genre is: stuck on OG Xbox, the only one with no online functionality, and is hard to emulate. A true injustice that needs to be righted.
Dead or Alive 3, released during the launch period of the first Xbox, impressed the crowds technically. The Xbox needed a good fighting game for its debut to offer gamers a multi-location experience and a demonstration of the console's capabilities, as was almost a tradition at the time, and the result was, to say the least, brilliant.

Emulating this is a pain and I personally would really like an official release of this game!!! Please make it happen!! Games such as these gems deserve to be preserved and made playable on modern hardware!

This is the ONE game that makes it worth having an original Xbox. It's AMAZING all over. I imagine it could include all costumes from 3 and 2 Ultimate now and have a little facelift to be 100% perfect. Let's say: perfect 16:9 aspect ratio, finely upscaled FMVs, corrected subtitles (with periods where they should be), upscaled UI, full modern controller support, with icons, simpler to unlock costumes (and lots of them, as mentioned), GOG achievements, and not necessarily, but MAYBE: simple online player, ranked, and room matches. My love will forever be GOG's if this happens. This game deserves to be out for PC, finally! (And please, let's keep its OST intact! Aerosmith and everything).
