Dead or Alive 6 is toning down the series’ trademark jiggling boobs

Dead or Alive (the fighting game, at least – not the beach paradise twaddle) is actually a pretty damned good game series, even if it has become known more for its overt sexualisation rather than its gameplay. I’ve always had a soft spot for Team Ninja’s Dead or Alive fighting game franchise, but not as many soft spots as the game’s female characters have had. For the next game, they’re toning the jiggly jubblies down.

Speaking to Gameinformer, Dead or Alive 6’s director Yohei Shimbori said that they were toning down the game’s sexuality, and putting actual fighting at the forefront.

“This is a work in progress, a prototype, so we might change in the future,” Shimbori said. “For this version, we still have Kasumi with her previous costumes, and there are some parts that are going to jiggle or move, but we want to make it a lot more natural. That is one goal, to make movement very natural. Also, each character has a very strong personality and we want to emphasize that.”

Right now, they’re aiming for it to be a more mature fighting game with a natural bit of bum and breast waggle, instead of the overemphasised stuff in games past. That said, that may change with DLC, and if people really, really want the game to be a sad masturbatory aid, then so be it.

“Of course we’re going to tone down at this point, but for downloadable content, we have to see what gamers really want, what their response is. Not all the gamers want the same thing, but we want to ask their opinions, all of them, and get feedback on it. Having said that, Dead or Alive 5: Last Round, we put [sexuality] on the front line and used the soft engine for that. And actually, we’re reflecting on that… maybe we did a little too much. Of course, we will have some jiggling and some movement, but as a whole we’re going to tone down.

“To sum it up, this is going to be going for a very cool, mature look compared to the other games. Also, very natural, not just for the characters, but for the stages, backgrounds, renderings, and everything that we want to make very consistent with a mature, natural look.”

Dead or Alive 6 is coming in 2019 to PC, PS4 and Xbox One – and I hope to Ryu that they bring the tag team fighting modes back.

    I did not mind the jiggly bits, but at the same time I did not play it for the jiggly bits. I did not play it for the skimpy costumes, some of which were beyond ridiculous I must say. I played it for the fun fighting! Plus it was an easy game to play (harder to master of course), so it was quick for people at a braai or party to get in on the action.

    My sister was actually the one who asked me to buy the skimpy costumes for her characters. Probably thought it would distract me from totally destroying her in the fights – she thought wrong lol. Yes, my sister wanted the skimpy costumes. There are way better sources of “masturbatory aid” on the internet, no need to put it in my fighting game. Also, there are certain places one can go, shake some cash, and jiggly bits appear in real life (worth more than virtual DLC jigglies)!

      Also, if they give a “standard” game, and make the more jiggly bits DLC, then people of all persuasion on this topic can play together in peace and harmony.

    The only reason they’re doing this is because they know the SJW’s would otherwise have a field day with DoA Jiggly Edition.

    They need to work on the story a bit as well. Still one of the few fighting games that support 4players
