<\/strong>While the Dead or Alive series has somewhat of a cult following, the franchise does receive a lot of criticism for being relatively over-sexualised.<\/p>\n

Team Ninja managed to tone down the sexuality in their latest offering, Dead or Alive 5, despite the fans not being so happy with the more conservative changes.<\/p>\n

“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,\u201d said game director Yohei Shimbori.<\/p>\n

“We actually got a lot of feedback from people who were playing it, saying, ‘We want bigger breasts. Make the characters more like that.’ That was kind of surprising.”<\/p>\n

Shimbori added that fan feedback hasn’t changed much over the years, as players still want entertaining characters, diverse stages, balanced gameplay, and apparently large breasts.<\/p>\n

“There’s definitely still room for having sexualized aspects, if you have a solid fighting game system there, there’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. If there wasn’t a need for it, people wouldn’t have responded to the alpha demo like they did, and send us feedback.”<\/p>\n
