Dead or Alive 5 Director: A Lot of Fans Want Bigger Breasts

Pretty much beat me to the punch on this one.Evil Smurf said:
I can't say that voluptuous character models bother me, per se; frankly, It'd put a smile on my face if this/games in general, when making a sexy/sexualized female character, put a little more junk in the trunk. What can I say? I'm a heterosexual male & I like women.
That said...
I genuinely hope that Yohei Shimbori is just missing the real reason why his last game bombed, & that he didn't actually get a hurricane of emails telling him that EVEN MORE UNREALISTIC TITS is what the fans of the series really want (you know, as opposed to a better game)
I'm not sure if this is another example of a developer of a franchise losing touch with the fans and community/what made the first game great/reality, or if I should lose even less faith in the fighting game community itself; because as much as it pains me to say this (I used to hustle Smash Bros tournaments), I can't say I'd be terribly surprised by either
...Damnit, he's onto us. Time for plan B: spam their mailbox until they think all fans want bobbleheads!CardinalPiggles said:
Seriously though - I don't mind people enjoying these shenanigans, but me knowing that I'd want to alt-tab out of sheer vicarious shame whenever somebody looks over my shoulder somewhat ruins the potential fun I might have playing.
I still want this game, and badly. Waiting for GS to deliver is painful (and another reason not to do business with them anymore).
That being said....the reason people said they wanted the breasts BIGGER is because you gave every woman in the game a reduction in the early stages of the game's previews - we didn't want them "bigger" so much as "restored to the size they were in previous games".

And there it is. Absolute, irrefutable proof that people are idiots.
Oh God...I'm a people! That makes me an idiot too!
ARGH!

Dear Mr Developer.
I regret to inform you that what you have developed is a "Fetish Property." It is somewhat in the nature of the fetishist to want more and concentrated forms of their particular fetish.
If you want to cater to that market I won't be the one to tell you that you can't or shouldn't.
what I will say is that you may not want to listen to this particular feedback too much. Otherwise you will reach a point where you just have a game where 15 naked girls with KK sized breasts bounce around on screen beating one another with their breasts.
And you will still get that same feedback.

I really feel like their should be a chest high walls joke in this somewhere, but I guess I am not dirty enough to put it together.
I don't want bigger breasts. I want sexier characters period, that includes body, personality, movement style, and character interaction.
Oh my god. Is that whole show just based around gigantic breasts and the hilarious ways they can jiggle? Oh my god I laughed way too hard at the matrix style boob dodgeNalgas D. Lemur said:
I really hope that this is a rhetorical question. That said what you're suggesting is, I suppose, possible. The thing is that no one wants that. People want something innovative or failing that at least a natural evolution of a series. Balancing an innovative mechanic is hard and as of late has tended to be more misses than hits. Managing evolution is hard too as going too far too fast means that the new game isn't anything like its predecessors and once again your customers are pissed. It's a fine line that the developers need to walk with this genre and I would say that because of these factors that it's a lot harder to make a good fighting game than it is to make a good game for nearly any other genre.ResonanceSD said:
I'll just say that the makers of the game should watch "Dreamworlds 3" by Sut Jhally and the Media Education Foundation. Here is a preview in the spoilers:
Of course, the film is about Music Videos, but the same basic theories can be applied to all visual media.
