Team Ninja: We went "hands-on" to get breast physics right in DOA5

I imagine in order for anyone to get in trouble the woman in question would have to actually press charges or complain?

Yeah they would have to probably press charges or file a complaint. If this was a big time company like Nintendo or Sony it would probably be a media or public relations problem though.
 
Responding to a question: "what would you say to those people who think that the bikini-clad babes in DOA5 are sexist," Hayashi said that all the team wanted to do was create "the cutest chicks in videogames,"

Are you trying to say the movie or tv industry is improving? Do you know what the most popular tv shows or movies are? Also why would breasts bouncing change anything? It's just DOA being DOA. Complaining doesn't change anything either, it just makes you annoying to normal people who don't give a shit.
Its getting laughable. You are trying to say "stop critizing, because movies like titanic are pure sexist". So these games have the right to be stupid and sexist but noone has the right to say they are stupid and sexist? Come on, you are better than this.

Hilarious that a thread about the actual gameplay of DoA, with week long coverage and character analysis is two pages long, but this one about a non...thing...already has more replies.

Never said that. I said Are trying to make things up to escape from the fact, that our industry and this game especially, has a sexist approach towards women?

Did you ever read a book? Did you ever see a movie? Did you realize that there are way more characters with depth within the tv, book and movie industry? Especially the female ones. No? Well, then we get why seems plausible for you.

Gaming has its own fair share of non sexist approach towards women and the list keeps growing rapidly, especially in other genre and platforms. Many of those that you probably didn't even notice or/ and care.

I just don't understand why you are criticizing and expecting an already established IP to be different to what it was and is.

Casuals don't care about that stuff duh. Especially ignorant ones such as "DOA4 is a good game, just make doa5 a better graphics doa4"

I dunno. It's hard to hate on people who are open about their games and don't even try to hide the fact that they are greatly focused at giving nerds boners.

Let's hate where the hate is due.

Atleast you said probably.
Rapidly? Sources?

Things already being established: Fundamentalism, racism, sexism. You will get why people critizing these things.

His abs are too loud.


...and the quest to make people take gaming seriously goes back another ten years.

Glad I never signed up for such a quest. I'm much more worried about the quest to have fun, serious or silly.

And your comment is silly. The fact that movies like Wild Things exist doesn't mean people take movies serious. Or 50 Shades of Grey make people take books less seriously.

And you guys thought we were stupid for saying that people wanted this stuff banned. Nevermind that nothing in the game is actually sexist, in any way. It's now compared to Jim Crow laws. Priceless.

I never realized Team Ninja was so influential. I always though the trend setters were Infinity Ward/Treyarch and Nexon. Does Full Moon Pictures set back film back to the silent era?

I'm fairly certain Black Ops outsold DoA4 by a considerable margin and the sexism is less pronounced in that.

It's just funny. The same shit was said about nude paintings and sculpture during the Renaissance period. Centuries later, we now have another clueless group leading a modern day bonfire of the vanities. If only we rid the world of DoA, gaming can progress into a golden age of enlightenment, and moral purity.

They think it's progressive, but it's nearly identical to anti-sex Christian fundamentalist rhetoric.

this show is not Breaking Bad why is it not Breaking Bad? it should be Breaking Bad dammit Breaking Bad
So did they have clad women jumping up and down while taking and throwing punches\kicks\grapples in the development room?
If so, we need a documented video of this new-wave 'hands-on' approach so it can train the public as to how it's done.

For cryin out loud, stop making things up. Its gettin old. These games have the right to be stupid and sexist but we got the right to say they are stupid and sexist. Get used to it.

The game is not stupid, but it is a tad sexist.

DOA is not going to disappear because we point out how clueless the developer is. Seriousness is not going to eliminate "fun and pandering"... like you said, look at TV, films and books... but:

And your comment is silly. The fact that movies like Wild Things exist doesn't mean people take movies serious. Or 50 Shades of Grey make people take books less seriously.

Films and books are in a better "cultural" pedestal than gaming actually is... and the film industry actually fighted for that... even books fighted for that.

Did you- did you just compare Dead or Alive to classic paintings/art?

You're right. Jann Lee should put a shirt on. His pecs are a distraction.

Y'all are being deliberately obtuse. There's nothing puritanical about taking issue with the way a game catering to men objectifies women, and the "but men are just as objectified poor men" straw man also completely ignores context and demographics. There's a difference between complaining about nude sculpture and... well, whatever DOA's deal is.

Nobody wants to ban boobs or sexy characters (or "ban anything for that matter; everyone has a right to say and do stupid things and everyone else has a right to speak up about it). Moving beyond straight-faced tits for the sake of tits would be nice.

I dont support the demand of banning games. Its their right to be stupid. And our right to say they are stupid. Get used to it.

Oh boy. Christian fundamentalist rhetoric, Jim Crow- comparisons... what next to defend sexism?

How the actual fuck are you comparing this to anti-sex Christian fundamentalism

I don't even know why I bother

I don't have a source, just look at the current market. It's filled with indie developers on smart phones/ face book/ smaller bit size games that are expanding diversities on every front of things.
 
Oh boy.

How can this not result in the quickest lawsuit settlement in history? "Because Japan" doesn't seem sufficient here.




I should have known before even opening the thread that this would be another Epic GAF experience, but some of these replies are otherworldly.

There is a difference between getting rid of and delivering more.
What's wrong with delivering more?

I don't follow much character or gameplay analysis of a fighter until after it's released.

Luckily, I never cared about such thing.

Do people go to red tube and tell them to make the porn have a better story? It's just absurd. Even if a product is expressly designed to cater to male sexual impulses, that's entirely okay. Do you really pick up Playboy and get mad that the articles on politics aren't better? No, you probably buy Time or Newsweek instead. Do I go to Twilight and complain that there isn't enough T&A? For all the talk of growing up, this kind of approach just sounds unbelievably childish.

If anyone wanted a game with a different portrayal of women, there are tons of other options out there. Do you think there are no other games that have "moved beyond this?" The entire 8 bit and 16 bit era had absolutely nothing to do with this at all. An extremely small fraction of games have anything approaching racy sexual content.

Agreed, there has never been as wide a variety of games as there are now counting the new markets on mobile/social platforms. This whole "awareness" thing is nonsense, there are more types of games than ever before. If feminists dislike DOA 5 they can choose not to buy it, I like it for some reasons they hate it, I will buy it.

I think Team Ninja will continue to stick with the market that they have going for the franchise, and I view the arguments in this thread against the game as futile. It's quite obvious that the vast majority of the DOA fans in this thread disagree with the message that the game is somehow harmful.

If this was a Western Studio this will be a PR Nightmare without exit and end. I know is Team Ninja and is just DOA and everything... but this statements are so stupid.

Who doesn't love the old suggestive PR statements? Why just a few weeks ago, a man from Square-Enix was eaten alive because he spoiled a part of the game.

WTF? Team Ninja Dog can't even do tits correctly.

But, to be fair, Japanese women aren't exactly known for being voluptuous.

I'd like to object, you are thinking of the young Japanese women. (SchoolGirls)

Sooooo...................

Admit it. Who amongst you folks will buy DOA Xtreme3 if they ever make it with these models?

I've bought all of them thus far, so a third one to add to the collection wouldn't be out of the question.

You're right. And I agree that DoA5 is dumb and pandering. That isn't what you first posted.

If you wondered yourself why nobody takes our hobby serious...

I don't use I Spit on Your Grave, Galaxy of Terror, Raped by an Angel and Zombie Strippers to judge the film medium. Holding up DoA5 over CoD, WiiSports, the Sims and all the over 10+M selling games and the countless indie games that come out.

You just compared doa to redtube to defend it. You somehow denied that doa can grow up to defend it. Case closed.
