Everything will happen

In responce to those talking about DOA5:

I haven't played the game myself, so I can't comment on the technical aspects of it, but what I can comment on is it's graphic style (after watching numerous videos).

It seems to me, that they have toned down the series' trademark quirks (except for the interactive environments), and have given it a more realistic art style, all to make it mainstream. Do those changes make the series better? Maybe (and there have been lots of positive reviews), but it is likely to alienate fans (such as myself).

Sadly, it's a trend that's affecting a lot of series. Notable examples would be Ace Combat: Assault Horizon, and the upcoming DMC & Tomb Raider. They're series (that for better or worse) are abandoning their unique styles, for a more realistic, gritty tone.

With the parallel universe theory, we can assume that everything is happening at the same time on a multiversal scale.
