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.
Jim Sterling serves as reviews editor for Destructoid.com, head of the Podtoid podcast, and produces a number of news stories, original features, one-of-a-kind videos.

Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!
Anyways I'm glad to see another game in the works. This is one of the more precise and tricky fighting games to play.
Someone has to say it right,...
Now, if this was a game trying to sell itself as a 'mature' experience, that would be another thing.
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.
YES!
DOA is a fucking joke.
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.
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.
it's considered tournament worthy, man.
If you get constantly countered in DOA, you're never going for grabs or not mixing it up properly.
"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.
Son, I am disappoint.
I'll just chalk it up to the under-sexed gamer stereotype that everyone seems to adhere to.
