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

[Stabby Joe]

SPOONY: In Dead or Alive, Newton's Laws do not apply to breasts.

Seriously, they don't "act" normally, thus being abnormal and not attractive. While I think listening to fans is a good idea for developers in some cases like they should following Ninja Gaiden 3, I'm going to disagree for this.

I think people keeping missing the actual point of what happened here, and as I and someone else pointed out; we didn't want the breasts even bigger, we just wanted them restored to the sizes they were before TN decided to try and appeal to people the DoA games aren't meant for in the first place.

Why do developers listen to these people? If they want boobs that much they just need to go to google. MILLIONS of hits right away.

I'm tired of game developers constantly trying to make females have gigantic boobs while doing the most outrageous thing. Not to mention wearing some very revealing outfits as well. Valve and DICE have so far made decent female characters what I've seen.

Had Left 4 dead been in the hands of other developers the breast would be massive for Zoey.

How about instead of making bigger breasts we just take more clothes off of Eliot?
I'm sure that wont spark as high of a media rage as this.

Eliot needs bigger boobage the most. He's totally flat!

Har Har Har!
I love you, have some cookies.

Meh who cares they can make the characters look however they want it is there game to make as they please and if they find that is what fans want that is what they should give.

So he founde out a large portion of his atleast local fans are perverts. Surprise (but not really)

Riddle me this: would YOU buy the game if the characters were reasonably-proportioned and sensibly dressed? Not "you" as in the hardcore fans of the series, but you as someone who doesn't play the games but thinks that they are degrading and misogynist? If they did tone down the sexiness, would more people buy the game? And would that increase outweigh the loss of fans who think of boobs as watermelon-sized bags of fat tied to a stick figure lady?

 

[Lunar Templar]

i'm confused ....

since when is DoA anything other then soft core porn trying to pass as a fighter? whats this 'good game' bit about o.o?

 

[kouriichi]

Not that i agree with the need for bigger breasts in DOA or anything but..... you know, im not going to argue with it. If the real fans want bigger breasts, who am i to argue? We should just give them bigger breasts, or add more characters with bigger breasts, that way the fans can enjoy their game more!

Im not a fan of DOA or anything, but i say if the fans want larger tits, praise the lord and pass the silicone! Err..... in a tasteful fashion that is. Bikini made of top hats!

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

If that's the case, they should be looking for some sort of surgery/operation, not playing videogames.

Oh, you mean, they want to look at bigger breasts?

If that's the case, get them a mirror, after they've had their surgery.

 

[itsthesheppy]

No love for those of us who actually like smaller chests. Is that so weird? Am I not a man?!

 

[Sniper Team 4]

Wow...that actually is refreshing to hear. I wish more studios would take this guy's approach to games: Fans first, everyone else second. Good to see they learned from Ninja Gaiden III.

Who are these people who were telling them to tone down the sexuality of Dead or Alive? Whoever these people are, they clearly have no idea what Dead or Alive is. It's hyper-sexuality is what makes it stand out. It's a solid fighter, but the girls are what catch everyone's attention. I'll be honest. The girls are the main reason I keep buying the franchise. If only they'd make that Ayane/Kasumi game they were talking about a few years back.

I don't want them to go too overboard with the breast size. Eventually it will look stupid if they keep making them bigger. I mean, some of these characters are already pushing it for my tastes. Tina mainly.

Gotta love these guys. They just don't give a shit about this whole "sexism in video games" debate. And they're right. It's pointless and no one should give a shit.
Personally, I don't like huge breasts, but I agree with these guys on principle. This whole sexism issue is getting out of hand.

Here's what I'm reading.

"Our fans (13 year old teenage perverts) want BIGGER breasts (and also a nude code). We were (not) surprised."

Also I'm going to disagree with the article here: "[P]utting core fans above mainstream appeal is an admirable idea."

Except, um, isn't oversexualized, big-breasted fantasy girls ACTUALLY "mainstream appeal"? If anything, a modestly dressed, modestly proportioned, genuinely realistic and believable female character is the OPPOSITE of "mainstream" and they're more rare than a white buffalo. I can practically count them on one hand (and half my fingers go to Valve girls).

Here's the thing. He says "if there's a good fighting system there" (which is very debatable since the gameplay is only INCHING forward with each new release and infinite combos were discovered on DAY 1) "then it's okay to have a layer of beautiful girls on top."

So, here's the thing. As a girl, I'm a bit offended, because he equates "beauty" with "chest size". A character like Alyx Vance or Mirror's Edge Faith is "beautiful", but to him beauty is tittie jiggles and massive cup sizes. And, geez, I'm even okay with a girl having a large chest size (Chun-Li is a D-CUP for instance... overshadowed by her THIGHS), but almost the ENTIRE FEMALE ROSTER is big-boobed, identical women with the same build and face, just different hair and voices.

Yes, I think Soul Calibur IV's Ivy is one of the most ridiculous, moronic, oversexualized characters in gaming history, but at LEAST we had a Hilde there to balance it out. But for a group of guys that "pride" themselves on their "hands-on" study of breast physics, I genuinely think they've never even so much as SMELLED a woman to know what how they look, sound, act, or move. I'm a chesty girl myself, but I don't jiggle around like spazzing jell-o if the wind kicks up or I take a single step forward, especially not if I put a shirt or bra over them.

Though, I will fully, 100% embrace their world of boobs if they added in random boob knockouts. I will pay full price for the game if Kasumi or Christie rush forward, only for their own oversized udders to slap their skulls into an unconscious stupor. That would at least put a smile on my face (because the combat system certainly hasn't. Hi-yo!)

At least he's listening to his fans, even if they are morons. (To clarify, I love DOA, but not as a breast simulator...)
