Tecmo Koei announces Dead or Alive 5 photo

Bouncy-boobed fighter Dead or Alive is getting another sequel. Announced just recently during the Tokyo Game Show, Koei Tecmo has unveiled Dead or Alive 5. Yay for breasts!

According to the publisher, Dead or Alive's mantra is "Fighting Entertainment," which reminds me of professional wrestling calling itself "Sports Entertainment." No idea what the buzz-term means right now, but I'm sure that tits are involved.

The game's due out in 2012 for both the Xbox 360 and PS3.

I remember whats his face said he didn't need to make another Dead or Alive game because 4 was perfect.

Anyways I'm glad to see another game in the works. This is one of the more precise and tricky fighting games to play.

I see no problem with humanly impossible tits in fighting games. We have those since Mai Shiranui. It is a fighting game and everybody will ignore the bouncing boobage if the game is good enough.

Now, if this was a game trying to sell itself as a 'mature' experience, that would be another thing.

@ManWithNoName: I've always felt that the DOA series was a decent set of fighters with some interesting counterplay that insisted on embarrassing itself and its fans with the story and implausible funbags.

I will fight tooth-and-nail to get my hands on this ASAP. DOA is my biggest system seller; it was the only game I bothered with in the arcades back in the day, it's why I bought the PS2, the Xbox, the 360 and the 3DS. I half suspect I will end up buying both PS3 and 360 versions.

Also, I'm really tired of how nobody is able to write anything about DOA without tits being mentioned every other word. The majority of the characters are male. In Dimenisons they toned down the ridiculous bouncing that had been put into the last 'Xtreme' game and truth be told all that stems from Itagaki ripping off King Of Fighters. And honestly, try and name one fighting game that doesn't have some ludicrously-busty woman wearing sod-all in it.

@Pangloss Pretty much. It's a really fun game but they shoot themselves in the foot. People made it about boobs so marketting made it about boobs so bloggers made it about boobs so people make it about boobs so marketing... and they've done nothing to try to end that cycle. It's a shame because people complain a lot about how there aren't any 3D fighting games with good balance and DOA's had pretty solid balance throughout, especially #4 and Dimensions, but nobodys ees it because HURRR TITS.

So no footage yet, but the game is supposed to come out next year? That can't be good.

You know there's a problem with your game when tits are brought up more often than any specific character or gameplay technique.

DOA is a fucking joke.

Only WWE calls it sports entertainment. The other promotions are proud of what they do, even if they aren't as good at it.

@Corduroy Turtle You could say the same about Street Fighter. Post a picture of Chun-Li and see how long it takes for someone to mention her thighs, or Cammy and her arse. For Soul Calibur it's Ivy's... everything. King Of Fighters can't hang around five seoncds without somebody making mention of Mai's giant swaying tits. Tekken actually does manage to escape it, god knows how since they're as bad as any other game when it comes to this stuff.
Fact is you can't have a female character in any game without some people only focusing on their digital assets. That's why Playboy gets away with having a video game special every year. We may not like it, we may want our games taken more seriously, it may even annoy us - but at the end of the day people are going to like tits no matter what, you can't blame the source that much.

All fighting games are a fucking joke, if you want to look at it like that.

Yay. One button reversals. underage sexpots. party game mechanics, and a rabid horny fanbase willing look people in the eye and call this a serious fighting game.

In all fairness, Arcana Heart is much worse when it comes to sexing up young girls buy at least it has a real fighting system and no developer stating that the men suck because he only likes women.

Jesus, Brawl is more of a fucking fighting game than this fucking series.

@Karavison
it's considered tournament worthy, man.

@Karavision: the reversals are one button, the proper directional input, precise timing and careful reading of your opponent. Many of the characters have much more complicated reversals.

If you get constantly countered in DOA, you're never going for grabs or not mixing it up properly.

Corduroy Turtle --
"You know there's a problem with your game when tits are brought up more often than any specific character or gameplay technique."

Where other's see problems I sure Tecmo sees oppurtunities. If everyone is making fighters with fair rules or tournament precisions...why does Tecmo or DoA have to do that?

It is like saying, "You know there's a problem with your theater play when everyone is laughing." Urr no that isn't that bad because that's what is called comedy. Take drama, add relity, and you make history. Take drama, kill everyone off, and that's tradgedy. Take drama, have all the voices done my Trey Parker, and that is South Park. I don't think Tecmo is all that worried about people talking about boobies when they think of DoA.

I'll admit my "fucking joke" comment was a bit harsh and, yes, Soulcalibur suffers from the same problems.

I'll just chalk it up to the under-sexed gamer stereotype that everyone seems to adhere to.
