Dead or Alive is a pretty good fighting game series best known for its innovations in the field of physics simulations. I believe the objects attached to the front of its cast of women are intended to represent breasts, but they often bear more of a resemblance to water balloons, slipping and sloshing this way and that.

The Xtreme spin-off series abandons most all pretense around ogling its digital cast of ladies, and the most recent third game did it even bigger with its use of the ‘Soft Engine', Tecmo’s own set of tools from DOA5 for making realistic skin and, yeah, improved bouncing boobies. Soft Engine 2.0’s big innovation was, of course, its introduction of butt physics.

You’ll be able to enjoy the full benefits of Soft Engine 2.0 with Dead or Alive Xtreme: Venus Vacation on PC, provided you’ve got the specs to run it. Venus Vacation is a free-to-play derivative of DOAX3 using Japan’s gacha system to randomly draw new swimsuits.

A translation from DualShockers revealed the game’s recommended specs - if you’re playing the game on a low-end PC - below the recommended GTX 1050 or R7 370 - you’ll see the Soft Engine Lite originally used for the Vita version of DOAX3. A less developed form of the tech with a less robust physics simulation.

Of course, this is all a moot point for most English-speakers, since like the console versions of DOAX3 this one is unlikely to actually get localized.

Makes sense.

 

[sungahymn]

But then...what is even the point?

 

[Hoje0308]

Video games are art

 

[Flowmoney]

How much processing power goes into that?

 

[Zee_truly evil]

So... size matters?

How much processing power goes into that?

Soft body physics enabled objects colliding with each other properly legitimately requires a ton of calculations. Beyond the developers' own judgements, there's a good reason such things don't really exist even with modern interactive software technology.

No one rack should have all that power.

 

[Blam]

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if this was CPU intensive

 

[CHC]

BOOOOOO

BS!!

[rodrigolfp]

But will have upgrade for better hardware than consoles or will be parity? :/

 

[Gav47]

Just make so low end systems can only use Marie

 

[inpHilltr8r]

I thought you lot preferred framerate over visuals?

 

[vato_loco]

Still waiting for this game, I won't even attempt to hide that fact.

 

[Crayon]

Time to upgrade.

Legitimate tech reasons etc.
