"The first costumes you get when you start playing are the ones with the less physics and the most coverage of skin," Shimbori said. So, for all the talk of "global trends" and "avoiding the silliness", Dead or Alive 6 gives the fans what they clearly want. When she wears this costume, her breasts bounce around as if balloons tied on strings. Here's the default costume of 18-year-old student Honoka:Īnd here's her alternative costume, which must be unlocked. If the character is wearing next to nothing, the breast physics are ramped up. If the character is wearing a costume that covers them up, the breast physics are reduced. And breast physics are tied to the costumes. What appears to be the case is Dead or Alive 6 is keen to make a better first impression than its predecessors, but all the hyper-sexualisation long-term fans want is there, ready and waiting, if they're willing to work for it.ĭefault costumes cover up the characters, but you can unlock costumes that show a lot more skin.

Here's Kasumi's default costume in Dead or Alive 5:Īnd here's Kasumi's default costume in Dead or Alive 6:īut, at a recent hands-on preview opportunity with a near-final build of Dead or Alive 6, I found female sexualisation very much up-front and centre, with the franchise's outlandish boob physics easy to see. Her default Dead or Alive 6 costume is designed with the "fighter" in mind. Showing the game to press at this point, characters who in previous versions would wear skimpy costumes instead had more realistic fighting outfits. The second was to "avoid the silliness", which is in keeping with the "intense fighting entertainment" goal. Producer and game director Yohei Shimbori told Eurogamer at the event this was done for two reasons: the first relates to the "global trend" for sexualisation to be toned down, "so everyone can play without being embarrassed".
