Costume-Specific Boob Bouncing Coming to DOA5

[Paragon Fury]

Its Tina and her father, Bass.

 

[BX3]

Huh. Could've sworn Itagaki wasn't with Team Ninja anymore.

 

[Risingblade]

I see no problem with this.

 

[BX3]

I see no problem with tits.

Fixed it for you.
------------------

Why is there an argument going on in the comments? Why do you do this to me, Escapist? How could you take something as fun as boobs and trample upon it with bullshit? My tears, you guys. They're flowing.

All of this fake outrage and smug scorn is both entirely predictable and extremely boring. Who cares if the game's "boob" engine is getting an upgrade? It's hardly any more shameful than harlequin romance novels. Terribly written, borderline pornographic books displayed across the front of every supermarket and Walgreens book section that are directed entirely at females. Publishers just know how to pander to their core demographic, be it for interactive media or otherwise. Stop acting like it's killing the damn industry or seriously besmirching its reputation. Team Ninja has been doing this for a looong time and clearly it has been working out just fine for them. I doubt Fox news is going to swoop in and suddenly say "OF FUCK, THEY'VE SPECIALIZED THE JIGGLE PHYSICS! THIS IS FRONT PAGE NEWS YOU GUYS! PUT ON YOUR OFFENDED FACES, MILLION MOMS IS GOING TO BE ALL OVER THIS SHIT!!" If you personally don't like it then go play one of the many other fighting games available or campaign to get a more balanced level of pandering in the games. There you go.

Still makes it a boring fighter. The moves aren't interesting, the character designs aren't unique or memorable, its just......bleh. Everyone knows what a Hadouken is. We know what Soul Calibur is, we can at least recognize the guy with the demon wings in Tekken, but this? Girls with big tits fighting.

Guys like tits, I like tits, but tits don't make a good fighting game. They don't even help to be honest. If I want to get hot and bothered over tits I'll watch porn like a normal human being.

I don't quite understand why so many people hate Dear or Alive. It panders to a male audience! Lowest common denominator entertainment! That's fine! It's not sexist to aim for that audience. (Is it? Is it sexist to aim for a target demographic? If it is, please enlighten me so I can roll my eyes at you)

Its just some people aren't the lowest common denominator. Some people have standards. Its just facepalm inducing to see a bunch of devs go "HAHA BOOBIES! BUY OUR GAME CUZ TITS!!". I like tits, but I'm not going to act like a 13 year old about it.

 

[Mariakko]

Am I surprised? No. Team Ninja is doing what it know how to do.
Although in DOA4 I preferred the quick glimpses of Ayane's underwear when she does a backflip in the school girl outfit. But Jiggle Physics are nice too.

It just means you aren't the target audience. If the game meets its incredibly modest goals then its a winner for those who want that stuff, right? You can just ignore it. There are people who will want "BOOBIES LOL TITS" and they will enjoy the game - that's who the game is for, and those people could be crab people who live underground for all we know and it'd still justify this game being made.

 

[Proverbial Jon]

Nice to see the games industry still driving the medium forward with inspiring innovation.

 

[aenimau5]

God I wish i could have seen the design meeting when they came up with this. So many bro-fists. Also the depressing thing about it is somewhere right now a 13 year old is getting really excited about this

 

[CrazyGirl17]

...And this is new how? Seriously, I don't think Team Ninja has leaned by now that boobs do not work that way!

 

[Paragon Fury]

Huh. Could've sworn Itagaki wasn't with Team Ninja anymore.

While they did get rid of him because of the sexual harassment claims, by getting rid of him they lost a good deal of talent. By most accounts, he was damn good at video games and damn good at designing them too.

 

[Leethe1Girl]

Just as there are fan service movies, so shall there be fan service games.

Pfft. Yeah, fan service for.... who exactly?

Talk to me about fan service when there's more scenes of dudes making out in an alley.

Who the hell said fan service has to be fair?
Team Ninja is making a fan service game for people attracted to bouncing boobies.

There is no rule that demands you provide equality in fan service.

Sooooo dudes then? Lesbians don't generally like that sort of thing either. I wouldn't call it fan service just more like ... I don't know "guy service". Like they're standing right beside you giving you an HJ while you're playing. *stroke* *stroke*

 

[Vanilla_Druid]

Well atleast they get something right.

Hooray for optimism!

 

[Sunrider]

I mean, the original Half-Life had atrociously bad jiggle physics, and I believe was the first 3D game to do so. But you don't here anyone mention this when the great and holy Valve are mentioned.

If you don't see a difference between your example and what Team Ninja is doing, I am thoroughly disappointed. Seems to me like you just wanted to take a jab at Valve here.

 

[TheMadDoctorsCat]

You know what? I follow the news, and it's wars, death, murders, draconian laws, more wars, more deaths, David Cameron, more murders... it's pretty depressing reading is all I'm saying.

And then occasionally something like this comes along to cheer me up and take the edge off.

Thank you, Team Ninja. Thank you for making my life that little bit better.

 

[TheMadDoctorsCat]

...And this is new how? Seriously, I don't think Team Ninja has leaned by now that boobs do not work that way!

I don't think there is much that Team Ninja doesn't know about boobs. I believe they hold "research sessions" with particularly well-endowed young ladies from time to time. You know, for the sake of realism.

Look Team Ninja, we all know you secretly want to make porn, so just do it. This repressed sexual desire is not good for you and it's getting awkward for the rest of us.

They really are "the dirty old uncle who tells unfunny jokes and makes everybody feel a little uncomfortable" of the games world, aren't they?

 

[Snotnarok]

Hey hey, don't go knocking Team Ninja, they're all about story. Didn't you see the Metroid Other M? Yes it was heavily borrowed from Metroid Fusion and crappified and yes the voice actors sucked, and sure they made Samus a weak little girl vs her amazing bounty hunter self.
And Ninja Gaiden with it's wide array of women who played a big breasted part in the story!

But they have RESPECT for womens.... breasts. :U

 

[BrionJames]

Hurray for boobs! I've never really liked the DOA series, but you know...boobs.

 

[Leethe1Girl]

Hurray for boobs! I've never really liked the DOA series, but you know...boobs.

Well hey, man if they can get you to pay something you can see every day on the internet... I'll keep laughing.
