Koei Tecmo knows about those pictures of Dead or Alive's fighters, and isn't happy about them.

        Yes. The test of morals is if you stick to them when they hinder you the most. Koei just doesn’t like people doing what they’ve always done.

    They publish games that focus heavily on getting new swimsuits for their “daughters”. What did they expect to happen?

      Wellness checks to be sent to their homes to check on their real daughters?

    From the same series that has two volleyball games.

    With a focus on “social” gifting including skimpier swimwear and suggestive posing.

    With a story that revolves around a rich pervert wanting a bunch of young girls in bikinis running around.

    Maybe don’t insist your daughters dress like that then…

    Be like the guy who designed Lara Croft, who left the company when they made all the marketing for the game all “phwoar, look at that eh, fellas!”

    You can’t just have principles when it suits you.

    2000 to 3000?

    I wonder how many pictures that actually covers. 0.1%? 0.5%? 0.77%?

      The “parents” released two games called “Dead or Alive: Extreme Beach Volleyball” (1 and 2) where they were in skimpy swimsuits and they literally had a team of developers that focused on “jiggle physics” to make sure their breasts bounced as accurately as possible. Nice way to treat your “daughters”.

      On a side note, content aside, those were actually good games and it wasn’t like they were going pure ecchi, the volleyball portion and side games worked pretty well.

        There’s also Dead or Alive Xtreme 3, which has all that plus pole dancing scenes and VR support.

        Don’t forget the multiple modes and features that put the “physics” front and center. If I recall right from old reviews, the analog stick calibration and testing “feature” is two girls trying to balance on pool floats while you tip the floats around with the sticks, with the camera putting the jiggle front and center.

      With jiggle physics. I remember laughing so hard when played the original on Dreamcast.

        Setting age to 99 never looked so jiggly.

      Yeah, they are from a fist, kick and melee combat game where they perform maneuver that would easily cripple or kill people in real life; but sex is amoral.

    Not to mention the pedo-bait character, Marie Rose.

    The unfortunate implications of the daughters flex are overwhelming. Also rule 34 is not merely a rule of the internet but biology. All the critters that weren’t sufficiently thirsty desperate to rut as often as possible died out long before simioids descended from the trees.

    Weird, it doesn’t seem to reduce the amount of inappropriate art of their characters that much.
