Dead or Alive director: Fans demanded larger breasts

The Dead or Alive series is as well known for its female characters' anatomies as it is for its fighting, but director Yohei Shimbori said an effort was made to subdue the gratuitous fan service in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Dead or Alive 5. At least, until fans saw it.

"We were getting feedback from the overseas offices to tone down the sexuality — to tone down the sexiness of the game, and of the characters," Shimbori told . "We actually got a lot of feedback from people who were playing [a demo for the game included with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Ninja Gaiden 3], saying, 'We want bigger breasts. Make the characters more like that.' That w🦋as kind of surprising."

He said Dead or Alive's famous decolletage was maintained in DoA 5, alongside an emphasis on its core fighting experience. Shimbor🎶i said the studio took g🔴reat pains to balance hardcore appeal with novelty in the new entry which released earlier this week.

"[T]here's nothing wrong with having beautiful characters as a layer on top of that — that's another layer of entertainment that there's a need for,"🐈 Shimbori said. "If there wasn't a need for it, people wouldn't have responded to the alpha demo like they did, and send us feedback."
