Dead or Alive 5 is still going strong – in the realm of sexy bikini DLC at least, with the 8th round of sultry swimwear coming with a complementary tropical island stage to better enjoy the “fighting.”

Whoa! This blog looks just like my old one! It’s on a entirely different topic but it has pretty much the same page layout and design. Outstanding choice of colors!

Stupid and greedy TECMO, which is no much better, make a doa xtreme beach volleyball 3?………
When I watched the video that showed male characters and fighting I was confused.
XD fap fap fap fap…dat Lisa string bikini! I love this game!!! Boobs FTW!
I don’t care what anyone else says. All I can say is FAP FAP FAP!!
lol, too much money for this BS. You can buy a whole new game for overall cost of this DLC, and if you want to look at naked babes you can do that for free on the Internet.
What? I thought we played this for the PLOT?
I miss the days where these were just unlockables.
Why bother including male characters in the game anymore? Just make it about sexy women beating the crap out of each other already. Who honestly plays DOA games to see the male characters anyway?
You honestly believe that? Your post really sounds like a real big scoff of cynicism…
Oh, you’re right! That was unforgivably cynical of me. I must have totally forgotten about the two Extreme Beach Volleyball games that featured the male characters.
Oh, wait… /sarcasm
The only male character most outsiders even know about is Ryu Hayabusa, and only because of the Ninja Gaiden games.
If they removed all the males, are you trying to say that no one would notice or care? If you look at what happens to most other game developers, like Capcom, if they make a change to a long established series that’s as drastic as removing all the males from the DOA series, then you know how the “rabbid fans”, especially the females, will react. That’s enough to prove that the males characters have some importance. Team Ninja would be wiser to give more attention to the male characters, actually.
And that’s even ignoring the fact that you ignored what I said about this being a fighting game, where every character is mained by many different players… and they boycot at the idea of even an old fart of a man like Gen Fu being left out, leading Team Ninja to keep him in the series as an unlockable character.
It’d ludicrous to me that you seriously stand by your stance and aren’t saying that you’re just joking… I don’t even need to be a DOA fan to know this, just someone who knows anything about fighting games.

“…but within the fanbase everyone has fans, and people actually 100 page threads of paragraphs about the stories and the character backgrounds.”
Thanks for letting me know I’m talking to a rabid fan. That clears up so much about how you keep missing my point. As most blatantly illustrated by the following, “And you want to talk about DOAX, then Zack is in all of the DOAX games, so does that make him in the same league as the ladies for you now?”
To explain it for the slow: He was comic relief and never makes an appearance except at the beginning and ending if the games. He’s a plot device, nothing more.
You keep believing that the male characters are important to the franchise, and I’ll keep laughing my ass off at you.
but in the main series, which is what we’re talking about, all of the male characters have been important… if you take them out, you screw with the story (whither you think it’s good or not, taking out the guys would still screw with the story they’ve built)
If you take out all of the guys, you take out Ryu Hayabusa, who is more popular than any of the females.
You mess with the tournament scene and all of the hardcore fans who main the male characters.
Outside of the fanbase, maybe no one knows anyone besides Hayabusa, but within the fanbase everyone has fans, and people actually 100 page threads of paragraphs about the stories and the character backgrounds.
Even if you could argue that this is all crap, why the hell would a developer get rid of all of this? Even if they are treating the guys like shit in comparison, they’re still relevant.
And you want to talk about DOAX, then Zack is in all of the DOAX games, so does that make him in the same league as the ladies for you now?
@Anon 17:30
I’m going to take this slowly for you. Game companies make spin-off games of popular characters. The more popular the character, the more likely it’ll get placed in a spin-off. UNpopular characters don’t get spin-offs.
So, ‘Popular characters = Spin-off games’ and ‘Unpopular characters = forgotten by everyone not a die-hard fan’.
This means that the female characters of the DoA franchise are more important than the male ones. To the point that they, and they alone, appear in ALL the spin-off games. In fact, Kasumi and Ayane make an appearance in Ninja Gaiden. So what spin-off games have the males appeared in, again?
This is why I wondered why they even bother with male characters anymore. I’ll also point out that from the beginning, the female characters have received far more creative attention than the males; up to and including from the creators themselves.
If you want a comparison of male/female attention inside and outside of a fighting game’s fans, look no further than Street Fighter.
But that’s a spinoff series. We’re talking about the main series here…
is this for vita or ps3?
Dafuq is wrong with you people?
…time to get another PSN card…
Hmmm. I may have to learn to handle two joysticks at once. The console’s and my own.
the idea of human juggling is still accepted until now
Not a fan of these realistic models. The only one I think who looks somewhat how she did back in DOA4 is Hitomi. My favorite Kasumi doesn’t look cute and hot anymore…
Sorry I don’t have a thing for plastic whether it looks like it is actually is.
Hmmm. Can I may have to learn to handle two joysticks at once. The console’s and my own.
Well, life would be boring if things were only about one thing…
This is about the fighting and the sexy characters :3
Better than Tekken
Diclaimer: The island stage and the swimsuits used to be in the game on release, on the disk, for free before.
Let’s hear some cheers for wonderful DLC.
Actually, I suspect it came downloaded with the update the day before… but your right, the “DLC” was just an “infamous” 100kb unlock key…. :/
I miss the old anime style designs =(
u got the wrong game…
that was Rival Schools
its just a game!! nothing on this trailer seemed realistic. and their is no nudity, so stop with all that OMG i see a breast, and isn’t she this age!!! its pathetic to think that ppl are actually thinking that the characters from the game are actual people.
Nothing stopping them from fighting while wearing bikini’s..
Also, if memory serves Tecmo used to sell a range of Bikini’s.
This game is clearly child porn!
it’s… porn for children?
Well, I did start playing DOA1 when I was 10….
but why the hell does the word “porn” get thrown onto anything even remotely sexual? Does that mean some “porn” walked by me in the mall earlier today?
Despite the decided lack of children.
You don’t get it…
Pretty much means DOAX3 should be out this year…
i want this on the sexy beach game series
These are kinda rip-off DLC…
Similar to Xmas costume pack…none of the above costume look any different with the in-game or pre-existing DLC costume…design wise~
Three most revealing costumes (Lisa, Christie and Tina) are just colour alteration which can be unlock through legend difficulties. The rest are no different….
This is kinda disappointing considering Xtreme Beach Volleyball have shitload of revealing/sexy swimsuit, yet they have to pick some of the most boring looking swimsuit to be put as DLC…It’s not even free
I have to admit, this is the worst DLC pack they’ve made. I blindly bought it without seeing what was in it first, thinking it was sure to be new stuff that would indeed surprise me, but all my favorite ladies just got pallet swaps of their Legendary outfits (which makes having the ones that a lot of people worked so hard to unlock feel like nothing, they lose part of their value). On top of that, the other swimsuits aren’t as good as the ones from the first swimsuit pack.
At least Zack’s Island was free, though…
Most fighting games haven’t been about the fighting since breast “physics” have been invented.
So… since Fatal Fury 2? Wow, that was a quick death to fighting games, wasn’t it?
Yuck…Too much realism. I like my fiction! 3/5
DoA always had shitty art direction, which was “here’s the hottest women we can render with a Playstation 2.”
Those 3D eyes kill it!
Too far down the uncanny valley for me. I’ve been hoping they’d put out DLC to fix the faces and unmottle their skin, but they haven’t, so I’m not touching it – I already have DoA games where they haven’t screwed up the fighting mechanics.
If you call this Uncanny Valley.. I’d love to see what you have to say about The Polar Express XD
ha, the ultimate version was awesome, with the tag mode on the dance floor (lightning, duo poses…). “sore ha kenpo da!”
this game lacks loli…
The got a hell of a lot of shit for even having characters a year or two under 18, and a 14 year old girl would look way too out of place in this game anyways.
I’m honestly sick of seeing lolis everywhere… it’s about time the women took the throne of arousal back from the…. little girls :X
it lacks loli design. the characters could very well be around 15, as per their bios, but when they’re made to look in their 30s it really doesn’t matter.
Creepy Lolicons will hate.
Kasumi and Ayane are like 16. There’s your little kid quota right there, creep.
baka… a loli is a child-like (in appearance) female. in other words, short, small chested, small hipped with high pitch voice. Kasumi and Ayane are too developed for that
16 is probably far too old for the perverts I’ve seen on here…..
Maybe even Arcana Heart’s characters are too old for them…
Kasumi is 17.
how many chicks do you know, that look anything like this that are virgins?
…exactly (it’s laughable to even try and sell that idea)
I just realized something: NONE of the girls are Virgos.
Intentionally non-virgins? Probably.
As of DoA5:
– Kasumi: 19, February 23rd, Type A, 5’2″, 106 lbs, B35″ W21″ H33″

—Sauce: Dead or Alive wiki—
As if they look any different from DOA2 to DOA5. Sure they got the high def treatment but they haven’t aged a day in looks.
Isn’t Kokoro suppose to be 15 or 16 now?
As DoA was westernized in every area to appeal western barbarian tastes like CoD “real” graphics, dumber combo-ing and 100hits per juggle with “super powers” and explotions in every scenario, also, they couldn’t affor to have them underage, so they RE-STARTED, rebooted the already wonderful DoA Mythos so every girl is now in her 18s or more.
A stupid thing to do if you ask me, clearly they don’t understand their own audience and appeal too much for a new one, lossing the loyals of 5 games and 15 years.
So, as much i love a Loli in the series i see it uncertain, if the games keeps this direction.
I WAS a gamer in LOVE with DoA, but DoA cheated on me with the Casual, Dumber Macho-CoD loving neighbor… for money.
Actually, Kasumi is like 19 and Ayane is 18 now. Ayane’s still the youngest girl in the series.
Shameless pandering
There’s fighting in this game?
I find your lack of sukumizu disturbing…
They already released Sukumizu outfits in a previous DLC set.
There are already nude mods made for the 360 version of this game.
Fuck yeah that groundNpound elbow at :43.
They should remove the males already, only wastes space they can use for more details to the women.
Funny, all the characters blamed for being OP/troll characters tend to be male… (Ryu and Hayate, for example).
And I know a lot of women who like those dudes. Team Ninja are idiots for not capitalizing on that yet, even going so far as to remove Ein, along with his “chains” costume.
andreplace em with loli like KoF
This game failed for a single reason:
-Those one who wanted an enhanced release of “Artificial Girl 3”, have gotten the ultimate fighting game, instead;
– Those one who wanted the ultimate fighting game, have gotten an enhanced version of “Artificial Girl 3”, instead.
It shows that you cannot have your cake and eat it at the same time… ^^
u can
The fighting is a nice mini game but fapping is enough
The last line sounded like your mom.
This looks too damn realistic already. Do not want.
i loathe the “realistic” DoA approach, really i do.
still, great graphics, but why the fuck they tone their boobs down and still appealing to sexual arouse????
they are stupid, that’s what they are.
I hate the new designs too, not the approach itself but the actual designs, at least most of them.
Plus yeah the changes to their bodies are ridiculous.
Some girls wer meant to be flatter and now they have bigger boobs, some girls used to have them bigger and now they were reduced.
They all have the same size now it’s so silly.
Done with the frnachise until they get a new redesign that makes because the current look is a no thanks.
By “realistic” do you mean more CGI rather than a more anime look?
“why the fuck they tone their boobs down ” I haven’t heard about this, hopefully they will let you change how much they bounce like in the DC game.
I kinda wanna play that now.
Uh-huh….their bodies completely lose touch with the laws of gravity after one punch, and you want to tell us this even resembles ‘realistic’?
You moe and loli fans are too used to the styles of modern anime to remember when anime used to have characters that actually looked remotely human…
Oh Artefact, it was never about fighting.
dead or alive would be great if not for the fighting stuff and the men
Fap fap fap fap fap fap…
Wait, what fighting?
Zack island.
lol stomping on the head looks fun..
wgat us thisÆ
I thought the fighting was to make dem boobs stop bouncing …
Rather to start bounching.
Wait…Dead or Alive was a fighting game?!
It actually was one of the best fighting games around, with a wonderfully intuitive counter and control system. Every title after DoA2 was continuously toned down or changed into very unfortunate directions. Part 5 is actually the worst incarnation as far as fighting is concerned.
The counter-system is at its worst, seing that it’s very unreliable and way too gimmicky/fumbly with those various hit-zone counters. It’s especially bad when you try to counter fast characters with several fast combo-lines that hit you all over the place.
That’s the next let down, the brain-dead infinite combo-juggle deathlock. Juggles have always been there but the old counter-system was effective in stopping them.
Simple folk would come up with the obligatory “l2p noob” every now and then but the most vocal complaints actually come from the direction of seasoned DoA veterans.
Aside from that, well, how can anyone complain about naked skin? I certainly won’t. Although i have to say that i don’t entirely like the new facial art. I liked the old anime-esque style more than this wannabe “realistic” look.
Actually, DOA3.1 (the Japanese release) was considered to be the most gameplay-perfect of the whole series, especially according to the hardcore tournament players (who tear into and out of every DOA release and see what makes it tick, so to speak). But now, after the patch that was just released, there’s some who say that this DOA5 1.03 might be rivaling the position for the DOA with the best gameplay.
There’s a good chance it might even make it into EVO, surrounded by heavy competition from a lot of other fighting games.
Finally, someone who is smart enough to see past the boobs… whither in favor of them or not. I’m tempted to sign up just to upvote you.
Eh, yo, Artefact, you’re not helping with your focus on the jeers, either! D: DOA fans have gotten sick of that “DOA is just a dumb blonde bimbo” mentality since it’s inception. It owns a record for being the most ignorant observation ever observed, ever. It’s incredibly unfair.
By making fun of DOA, in a way you’re making fun of a good part Virtua Fighter as well, which is renowned to be the grandaddy of fighting games (of which DOA is a direct disciple) as well as probably the most solid fighting game series ever. DOA is just the prettier, more fun and friendly cousin to the tough and serious VF.
Why should anything or anyone strive to have beauty as well as brains and brawn when this cynical world will never come to appreciate it? That’s why we can’t have nice things…
Thanks. I agree DoA2 was the peak. You don’t need 6 attack buttons and an intricate combo system to make a solid fighting game – I played DoA2 with friends for years and we still encountered new animations and scenarios sometimes when attacking sides/backs. It was actually better than most modern fighters since it was about the exchange of blows, blocks, throws and counters rather than who can get the first hit off to chain into a 50 hit combo for half the match – that’s just recitation.
Sad to hear about the mechanic changes, but the character designs turned me away, and playing other games like DoA Dimensions dropped my hope for the fighting to very little (It feels about like DoA2… but there’s no way to make it challenging apart from fighting 100 opponents back to back in survival mode. That shouldn’t even be possible!)
I played Evil Zone/Eretzvaju, but it didn’t make much of an impression on me when it was new… Actually I think I found it pretty bad, but maybe I’m confusing it with Gowcaizer… either way, I only rented it.
Seconded, word by word.
Adding, some one ever played “Evil Zone”?
A Ps1 two button fighting game and it is awesome, truly, seriously awesome.
Well… I hear the original Team Ninja walked out because of Salary problems with TECMO.. maybe this was the cause?
More like the result. Yeah I agree, I don’t particularly care for Tina’s new face. It’s not like they gotta look like they’re from Slayers or anything, but they all looked so much more defined, before. And all that air juggling isn’t even remotely realistic, so I really can’t tell where they’re trying to go with this new look.
Controls and counter system shamelessly copied from Virtua Fighter. (up to DOA4, haven’t played DOA5 yet)
@Castian – Because, unlike you, I do some research before opening my mouth. Or writing a comment. Or downvoting somebody.
Guess what, idiot, go ahead and look things up on your own. You’ll see that I was right because I supplied correct information, not because I said “fuck you”
Fucking dumbass.
And calling people names makes you right because…
I’m gonna be embarrassed if all my comments end up showing up.
Ah well, stupid SanCon.
@Castian – Dude, you an idiot or what?
VF1 release date: 1993
VF2 release date: 1994
DOA1 release date: 1996
VF2 had a counter system which works pretty much the same as what you get in DOA.
Do some research before you downvote others, faggot.
@4:11
I lol’d
DoA 1 came out at the time VF 1.
DoA had the counter system since then VF1 and 2 didn’t.
@Castian – My god, I never thought someone could be this fucking dumb.
VF1 – 1993.
VF2 – 1994 (console release in 1995).
DOA – 1996.
VF2 had a very complex counter system.
Fuck you.
Dead or Alive is a fighting game?!
You don’t say?
seriously?!!
nope it’s a Faping game for Console since SEGA era
So 3D to FAP to and losers still around.
I see, so sad and loser.
And yet, despite all the fap material style swimwear…it’s still a damn good fighting game.
