Dead or Alive 5 Fighters costume pack preview featuring Bayman, Hayabusa, Rig and Jann Lee

...There are male characters in DoA?

Day 1 no buy.

eh..? nice...

And still barely any worthwhile costumes besides Costume 3 (in the free DLC) for Akira...

90% naked Males in DoA? But i thought game was all about the females right?

Also funny how Hayabusa would still wear a mask despite wearing very little. Trolling those who want classic Unmasked Hayabusa

Watching this game go from bad to worse is just sad. No one plays this garbage except for their niche community.

Really Tecmo? I haven't complained about any DLC, but seriously? Now this is rather unnecessary.

i'm offended, this is sexist against males!

WHAT! No Wang or Akira speedos? this is outrageous!

Still liking the game for what it is, more dlc stages and custom soundtrack would be nice tho.

Time to snap me some bulge.

good god jann lee, put on sum pants!

I would buy it if it was on PC. I think it is fair to have less clothes on man too. That would be sexist if it was not available. And it is optional. It is not like they are forcing you to show that kind of clothes.

Edit: Gen Fu, not Wang Jinrei.

Every Old fighter should follow Heihachi thong trend lol

Ugh terrible costumes, bring back some of the ones from DOA2 instead -_-

Only fair at the end of the day.

here's the rest: http://i.imgur.com/FRF3ZOF.jpg

Fanservice for gay men and women in DoA5?
Hell yes.

Ok... All guys wearing the MMA shorts reminds of TTT2 bland verity of all mens (except few) swimsuit when every guy wore the same color Fundoshi. Heck at least DOA5 has more verity. Not a fan about the MMA shorts, but I'd still buy any DLC costume just to have.

@16 cool, some of them remind me like TTT2 P2 costume.

@9 I know the custom soundtrack is on its way.

Completely pointless but there are some idiots out there that MUST BUY NAO!!!

@ #5 I've stopped playing the DoA games after Hardcore and I did eventually pick this one up but what was the last game Hayabusa was shown unmasked?

no thanks

So... dudes with MMA gear or dudes in speedos. You decide folks.

DOA5 DLC is almost as big of a waste of money as the game itself is.

@8 don't be offended just yet, wait until we get dual shock control for jiggling bulges then get offended. Or wait to see Zack's bulge and if its way bigger than the rest of the male cast then get offended lmao

Well at least they're evening it out now.

@23
I'm not even going to lie, the last part of that statement made me literally laugh out loud.

doesnt tekken male characters have loincloths and people b!tch about this?i mean lol its nothing to cry over

Fanservice on they guy's end? It's overdue. Although Ryu,Hayate,Akira,and Jann look the best in their costumes..(or lack thereof ^.~)

#16
Nice pics, article should be updated with this.

#19

DoA 4 I believe was the last time it was implemented?

Where's fabfred, shaking his head like a lunatic, yelling about wanting Ein and Leon DLC?

#19 & #28
I think he had a mask-less tuxedo costume in DOAD.

Kreygasm x 100000000000000000000000000

@29
I think he is in the hospital for brain damage from shaking his head too rapidly.

Females got fan service? Wut?

Has DOA been haxored?

could have at least made them a bit different for each character...this is just lazy

@26 Agree, I even mention about the Tekken all male (except few) Fundoshi (or loincloth). I think if certain people look at Tekken with every guy wearing the same boxers its all cool, but other companies not so much just act like brats. They really shouldn't make a big deal.

@30 Correct he does.

about time they cater to the female gamers ( im a guy) seriously think about it us guys love fan service for the female characters. why cant they do that for male characters? if you dont like it dont buy it i know i wont lol

Finally a shirtless Bayman like I have always wanted...but such a generic costume just makes it lack the luster I really desired from the sight. Aww no Bayman bulge. I was really hoping that me yelling rape would scare even more people but even that seems less satisfying.

Also no DoA 4 Jan-Lee bulge? How can my friends and I make funny gestures about it now that it is gone?

*sigh* I'm disappointed... Not in this DLC, but from the stupidity of the people who comment here. You can hate something, but you don't need to be a d!ck about it every chance you get.

For instance, a lot of people dislike religious people, because SOME of them shove their opinions down your throat. I bet a majority of you would say that those religious types are annoying, and yet here you guys are doing the exact same sh!t.

Why do you idiots just click on this story to bash it? If you don't like something, move on.

Im a big fan of DOA since the first 1 and i find it funny that anytime theres some type of story or news bout DOA on here there r always 30+ comments bashin whatever team ninja is doin. Granted i agree there has been sum pointless and needless things Team Ninja has been doing but im startin to wonder who r the more pathetic losers..... U people who waste ur time to log in and bash DOA and make ridiculous comparisons to TTT2 or Team Ninja for wastin THIER time in creatin usless DLC. (other than the patch which was needed) Still love DOA regardless what they do caz thats what fan loalty is, stickin with sumthin even wen it suks.

Girls in revealing clothing, people complain. Guys in revealing clothing, people complain. Refuse to open your eyes and accept the game, blame what ever you can to find an excuse that will allow you to continue hating on it? fine by me. the same people that bash on smash and say it's not a fighting game, different style or not, it still is.

@35 it's not that Tekken is excused but they aren't all about fanservice so that's not a fair comparison.

@36 who is actually upset that the guys are getting this treatment now? The only thing to look forward to this game is the costumes...and even then they stopped looking cool a good minute ago that includes cheesecake.

@38 sorry but nothjng has been completely out of line...In fact some of the comments here are pretty funny jokes. But if this game ever goes to making bulges jiggle I'm snapping the disc in half. Not everything is rainbow and sunshine.

@39 It's great you can stick with a game that long but let's not confuse fan loyalty with rabid fanboyism. The only ones who continue the comparisons are insecure DoA fans...talking about game speed and of course the better crop of women lol. Please don't start crying wolf until you actually see one.

Thanks ^_^

Kenshiro nailed it. You DOA fans need to differentiate sarcasm from true salty statements instead of feeling pursued by everything and everyone.

@43 Well I hear things like what Tekken does people will leave Harada alone, what other games does people make a big deal.

If Tekken make every guy wear the same colored boxers its ok, If DOA make every guy wear the same colored boxers people make a big deal.

This is what I heard of when comes to the FGC is general like saying when Harada talks about why he won't put any character its all fine, when Sven talks about why the character won't be put in any game people will make a big deal about it.

I'm barely making a comparison with fanservice, because fanservice is nothing but a term for Japanese media.

The only reason I bought Tekken up, was the way how they do costumes (even TTT2 customization). People already make a big deal about DOA costumes in general about it being the same outfit or even different color, what TTT2 is no different with the DLC costumes that Tekken gots. Like TTT2 it features that the normal guy (except Tiger) is wearing the same color fundoshi, and when you got fat or old guys they wear this swimsuit (which I don't know what it is) they wear the same special swimsuit. Another thing is the verity costume with TTT2 in general almost every character has the same costume item.

Don't you think what TTT2 did is almost the same what DOA5 is doing.

The only thing that makes it very different is gameplay, TTT2 has customization while DOA5 doesn't. Not trying to compare the two fighter games, the only I talking about is the similar ways.

#45 People don't make a big deal about DOA costumes, the people that hate on DOA hate the series anyway and will bitch about anything TN do. And just so you know, the Tekken fans (the people that actually bought and play the game) are very disappointed with the customisation in TTT2 and are not blindly praising it, many agreeing it's worse than 6. So stop with your insecure statements about how people are biased towards Tekken, cause you do this every chance you get.

@46 I'm sure people will just hate to anything. I'm sure the people were disappointed in TTT2 too like me. The biased stuff is something I didn't made up, heck I hear things is that is how certain people is in general. Take a look at some of the comments when Harada hated people like when comes to wanting a certain character. But thats what certain gamers are in general. Besides I only was responding to #26, I don't always make comments like this.

Kenshiro nailed it.

Honestly, I got no major issue with the male costumes. If anything, it helps counter-balance the TONS of revealing female costumes. Not even close to the best panacea, but eh, it's something. Still not buying it though. Better luck with DOA6.

Maybe if they actually went for...you know...costume designs based off of cool concepts instead of "cool angles", then maybe that'd help the game's rep a lil bit. Maybe if the game kind of tried to separate itself from the fan service for a bit, so it could REALLY put the fighting on the fore front, maybe that'd help the game's rep a bit. Still, from previous debates on the topic, I fear that fans are more loyal to the sexual themes and character designs than they are the fighting game, which is a shame imo.

In other words, other fighters got this type of stuff too, but it's in way fewer characters, it's not nearly as extreme, and it doesn't eat up 3/4 of the game's identity. Adding "barely there" costumes to the men doesn't do much to counter against what DOA's already built for itself, but I respect that it tried...something...

#47 Loads of people dislike his way of talking to fans too, myself being one. But all the big name guys get their fair share of love and hate like Ono, Seth, Boon and so on. Itagaki's replacement hasn't really stood out yet. These guys are basically gaming celebs, especially now and one cost of that is defensive fanboys and raging haters (not calling you a hater), so Harada is not a special case. This is well off topic lol.

Go TN #EqualRights!

Now we are talking, I'm buying this for once ill fap to DOA.

Nice troll by TN, now you haters can just shut up lol.

@ 43

I never said these idiots are out of line. I just said that it's pretty easy to tell when a person is bashing for a legitimate reason or is just bashing for the sake of bashing.

@ 48

In a previous interview, the members at TN discussed trying to put fighting at the fore-front, and tried to tone down the sexual theme. But then they realized, why become something that they are not? Why can't they make a good fighting game (mechanics-wise) and still be true to their franchise (the looks)?

I actually commend them for this. If you strip down the game and only look at it's core mechanics, it's a very deep game. At the highest level, it's very difficult to play.

@45 Tag 2 has some of the most mediocre customization options when compared to Tekken 6. They have some "stock" customization options that are available for all genders these are valid complaints that I hear all the time but when compared to other games you have to weigh the fact you have 10 total slots to design your character the way you want. That alone should stop most of the whining.

Fanservice when coined correctly applies aswell as cheesecake. It's not exclusive to a country/nation.

@53 Yeah even SCV's customization system blows it out of the water.

-clothes float on the characters' bodies and look bulky
-some items are missing/mislabeled (miharu's slit skirt and stockings is actually a jean skirt with boots, and the actual slit skirt item is nowhere to be found)
-not enough personal/exclusive items
-body parts lumped into other categories (can't customize hands)
-navigating menus/characters is SLOW
-P2 colors unavailable
-most accessories are stupid

and others

Harada needs to push out a patch for this crap
