@dante_the_xii: Arguably the worst version if you don't count the original PS2 Japanese version which was unfinished and released without Itagaki's consent.
Best versions of DOA2 in order from best to worst are:
DOA2 Ultimate > DOA2 Hard*core (Japan only) > DOA2 Hardcore <=> DOA2 > DOA2 Original PS2 Japanese version
Early 2019 means they have been working on this for years. So glad they weren't just milking DLC and using it to actually fund DOA6 while it was being developed at the same time. The first next gen looking fighting game and it isn't even complete. Tekken 7 and SCVI still look like things the PS3 could do.
I have Historia due to a friend giving me his though I owned it digitally before then. Maybe I'll seek out the other two later in the year. I love artbook collections like this. Anyone with the Artifacts collection want to give their opinion on it?
@Xristophoros: Bandai Namco owns the Dark Souls trademark, From Software owns the Dark Souls IP. Neither of the two can make a Dark Souls game without the other
