"Pushing the boundaries of the Dual Shock 3.......literally"
"allows players to use the PlayStation 3 Dual Shock controller to shake the characters' chests"
this game is all about mechanics.
This was old news posted already like #4 pointed out -_-
Thought TN revealed another trailer about the "New assets" today besides the rehashed E3 trailer, thanks for the disappointment.
Obvious this is just blatant click bait now.
YEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
And Fans wonder why the FGC doesn't take this game seriously. They are as much to blame by not calling out the developers on this BS. Sarah Bryant is too good for this game.
@22 Its a part of how DOA's marketed been that way for a while now but I have to say even if this is what fans want I feel its time for TN to pull in the reins a bit. People in the DOA community would rather have more discussion about the gameplay but when this is what's constantly being advertised then that's what people are going to talk about.
Then you have some people thinking really is this the priority for your fighting games? I'm picking up DOA5U because DOA5 was a step in the right direction but since everyone knows that DOA games feature TnA now would be the time to advertise the game itself in my opinion.
TN tried for a little bit with ther I'm a fighter ads but went straight back to we got bikinis.
I swear, it's like they want this game to be a joke. No one will take this seriously if they keep this crap up.
LOL @ these comments though.
Tecmo KOEI/Team Ninja have no shame. Straight pervs like they just don't care. lol
I thought ninjas were stealthy.
Haters everywhere. Its sad. I hope all yall haters aint like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJGuME...
,or the world is really doomed.
Can I do this with male characters and control their buttocks and package???
all this game needs now is a feature so you can lick your controller and the male characters bulge gets bigger Kappa
I love this series with a passion (My Top 3)
But please, for the love of all things good, leave this crap in the Xtreme games. I would rather it not be a thing at all, but the creeps that actually get off on this need to get off elsewhere. This BS makes no sense...ugh.
@31 Im gonna take a big guess, and say that you didn't even look at the whole video because this doesn't even contrast with what we are talking about here.
Being hetero (or homosexual) has NOTHING to do with having dignity or respect for yourself. If you looked at the video you would understand that.
Well after checking back here not surprised a good portion of the people hear are acting like this mode is anything more then 2% of the actual game (This isn't even gameplay just watching the lose poses which you could already do after the matches) and blowing things out of proportion for the opportunity to take jabs at DoA like the game is the plague.
#44
There are more male fighters then female fighters including Ryu Hayabusa, Akira, and Bayman etc
#46
You can select males like Bass as well and make them wear their Speedo/MMA attire if you swing that way.
#50
They don't need to. The DoA series already developed a lasting negative stigma towards the casuals when the beach volleyball spinoff game released. Now the original fighting game series no matter how legit the fighting gameplay component is will always be associated to the separate boobs/fanservice/mini-games spinoff title in the eyes of the FGC . Which is a shame since I remembered back when DoA 2 was a very beloved and popular 3D fighter.
cadnexus just so you'd know female to male ratio in this game is ALMOST 50 to 50! (If you don't count Alpha-152, which is more like an abomination, then legit female character...so i don't count her...), its 12 female characters and 11 male characters and with Ultimate update coming out it is going to be 50 to 50 (if you still do not take Alpha-152 into consideration...)! So i don't get what you're talking about having EQUAL amount of female and male characters in one game is somehow counts as "female fest", while the majority of games with male to female ratios ranging from 5:1 to 2:1 are not considered sausage fests and are taken seriously...some people are really biased i swear!...
Honestly I still take the DOA series serious unlike everyone else that nitpicks and only complained about female breasts with big talk like "I can't take DOA serious" but yet they take circus freaks like Tekken series serious. Heck if any fighter game is a joke, that joke fighter would go to TTT2 for making characters look like a bunch of freaks, bland, casual, and clown style with one of the badly executed customization.
Its better to look pass part of DOA content, because they're ways with females is common in Japanese media.
@17 Eventhubs barely covers any DOA matches along with other certain games. Eventhubs keeps showing off the gameplay matches SFIV & UMVC3 over and over again, if I had control of my own FGC I'd cover every matches from each games.
@19 Sep. 3
@23 I could say TTT2 being released in the same day as Borderlands 2 is another bad idea as well. Because TTT2 only made 100,000 copies, the majority of gamers just can't get into Tekken or any fighter game. Even DOA5 sold more copies than TTT2 in Japan mostly PS3 copies.
@24 Honestly DOA will still never be popular to the Westerns anyway even if they didn't market their females. If DOA changes part of their elements, die hard fans will be upset with DOA in general because that is taking away of what makes DOA unique.
@25 Honestly nobody should even take the blame not the developers, not the fans because the DOA series itself is still a popular game in Japan. Honestly the FGC is full of snobs, arrogant, narrow minded, children which they nitpick just to bash on a game which is wrong.
@44 DOA doesn't have too many females, besides the DOA series has more male characters than females if you look at all of the characters. The number of Male & Female characters is actually equal.
@45 DOA doesn't have to make a porn, (which is actually Hentai) the developers are more about creating beautiful females with a personal personality which makes a character standout. The DOA developers just don't go for the Hentai route since that is not how they want to approach their characters. Honestly DOA Volleyball didn't started the whole breast thing in general, besides the Volleyball was an idea of a mini game for DOA2.
#11
Well your first mistake was taking this series seriously to begin with, you're second mistake was making the horrible assumption that fighting games in general are meant to be taken seriously.
@Rocklee77
Weird cause you always give the impression of being gay, and now you hate on gays. You know what DOA is a great game that has a diverse fan base and Team Ninja knows this hence The Fighter DLC (guys in speedo DLC). The FGC and DOA doesn't need people like you that's always trolling and hating. Peace Brah!
Lol god. I liked DOA5 but ultimate may not be worth my time. Just got KOFXIII and it'll take my time Instead. I do t even know how much this joint costs!
wow Eventhubs, what a cheap shot. new tutorials, tournament news, casual matches, and Eventhubs decide to add this to the front page? which has already been posted a week ago... smh
I hate that i have to play these mainstream games i dont even care for just to stay a relevant at tournaments
The actual fighting in DoA games is fun, but it's just impossible for me to take the series seriously because of things like this. It makes me laugh because I know there's an audience for this lol. I have sympathy for the serious DoA players (I'm sure they exist) because Tecmo can't seem to leave this guy behind: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mmkf_x7B0f4...
to be perfectly honest, the only reason im considering buying the game is for the girls, otherwise i might not even bother so good move tecmo and team ninja
@69
You calling me "neandertha"l when you are the one that every time people criticize DOA negatively you come like retard insulting because they have a different opinion. I'm not gonna fight with the haters of this game, is pointless if they don't like jiggling boobs there is nothing I can do to change that. Now if I see a DOA player insulting people because they have a different opinion I care cause I don't want people thinking we DOA players are a*holes. Again peace brah! I don't hate you I just think that you'll be a horrible spokesperson.
TecmoKoei America just released numerous brief videos featuring the new features of DoA5U and updated their official site on these new features.

Its not all boobs and fan service. I know its shocking.
@79
How fun, exciting, unique this game is. All those new features combined with the new characters and stages makes this a first day buy for me. I can't wait to play the team fight mode and survival with items I enjoyed those modes in DOA4. The customizable background music was need cause DOA5 ost is not that good.
Here is hopping that the new and improved training mode attract new players.
@79
Well said. Kinda sad knowing people don't wanna grow up these days. They just cannot overlook tits, as hard as it is for them. So they disregard all of the features, except the boobs.
Gotta love how a gane supposedly sucks just because it has fan service. Event huvs has no credibility when it comes to peoples comments. Judging by what the peopke here say any sort of media where cleavage or anything pg 13 and up is shown has to be garbage. Amirite?
"Eventhubs ... we like nothing yet we have to still comment anyway"
YOU KNOW. I'm pretty sure this feature/mode allows to view VICTORY poses as well, if you want to you know, see your characters stand VICTORIOUS whenever you want! I'm pretty sure if you want the dudes in their swimwear panting on the ground, you can do that too.
Just because people highlight this kinda thing doesn't mean that's all it's for or all people want to use it for. I personally love camera features and stuff. And it would be cool to be able to take screenshots and sent them to your PC or something. HD screenshots made yourself with ease? Yes please.
If you think it's just an immature feature, then maybe...drumroll please, you are immature?
OR...how about you guys, and others in the community, as well as the devs, try the following: Highlight the game play OVER the fan service. I don't really see jack from this game, but when I do, it's fan service. You can't blame people for seeing the fan service when it's utilized to the point where it's the first thing on their minds when they think "DoA". The best you as a community can do is to get around showing the game play of the game over these types of stories.
I mean, yea, if this was just a one-time thing, it'd probably be brushed off, but at this point, it's not about "Ew, boobies". The FGC literally doesn't take this game seriously due to the emphasis on fan service, and I think that if you want the mocking to stop, the game needs more emphasis on the fighting, not the sweat droplets, or the commercial with the spraying water and the beach wear, or that excessive deep breathing and posing when people lose, so on and so forth. Besides, when a game makes it's slogan "I'm A Fighter", when it SHOULD be blatantly obvious that it's a fighting game, something's wrong. Even Super Smash didn't become so desperate to use a slogan like "I'm A Fighter". >_>
#86
There are PLENTY of highlights emphasizing the gameplay from the community or the devs that had NOTHING to do with the fan-service aspect. EmperorCow is just one example: http://www.youtube.com/user/EMPER0RC0W
Of course its not a one time thing. Its part of the stigma. No matter if dozens of gameplay videos are shown, just a couple that highlight the fanservice aspect are enough to negatively overshadow them all from the fgc perspective.
For example this very article particularly wanted to focus on a small part of a feature just for the sake of stirring clicks despite not having to be USED for such purposes. You could also watch story specific cutscenes without bothering with the fighting, see your favorite entrances, etc. Thats on the individual not the feature itself. Every community has their perverted demographic, even Street Fighter or Tekken.
Broaden your horizons if you want to see non fanservice content or do you only find your information in Ehubs? http://www.freestepdodge.com is just one source so you can get yourself informed. ...Or maybe just going to the official website from time to time to see find out what the game is actually about?
What does the slogan have to do with anything? Its nothing more then a marketing tool like deciding what the promotion box art would be. Your over thinking it.
@86 The gameplay is still being highlighted. Look at #79 he even proves that DOA is not always about breast and fan service. Honestly you'd have to look more harder than just looking at the fan service, because there is more in DOA than just fan service. Honestly DOA isn't the only thing that reminds you of the breast & fan service, it is the Japanese media in general Tecmo Koei/Team Ninja isn't the only ones there is also Square Enix for certain ecchi anime/manga published in Japan, SNK for the bouncing breasts and tearing King's & Yuri's top, Shonen Jump for To Love Ru, Compile Heart for Hyperdimension Neptunia etc.
The FGC already takes Tekken serious which the characters are nothing but circus freaks with TTT2 having bland character verity that makes the characters look like a bunch of clowns, along with a bunch of casuals.
There are times that the Westerns really needs to be merged with Japan for its media, culture, and they're life styles. Even the Westerns needs to be like Japan since that country has honor.
The FGC should've looked pass the fan service, and just play DOA for the gameplay. Look at Tekken, I could even say that Tekken is a joke itself because of its characters but this Western FGC doesn't even complain about Tekken's goofiness. Tekken should've never been taken serious if we had to look at other details besides gameplay.
@87: Not overthinking it, but I'm being realistic here. SF X TKN players have been putting on for the game ever since the crap with its release. It's still spat on by the community, but they push to get it seen. Quite hard actually, and it's still around and "decently" healthy, considering the crap that happened around it. As far as non-DOA specific sites go (primarily SRK and E-Hubs here, and Gamespot), I don't see much about this game outside of screen shots of female characters or vids like these. I'm not a hardcore DOA fan. I'm not gonna know all the places to find proper DOA news on the fly. But that's the point I'm trying to make: The first thing someone sees if they aren't a DOA fan is the fan service, and that's detracting from the game's appeal in the FGC. I'm not bashing it's quality as a game in any manner. All I'm saying is that the series is struggling trying to push the fighting aspect to the forefront. Maybe I shouldn't be picking on the community so much as the devs, though. Still, the mocking's gonna continue unless the image changes. Just look at my game. 2013 happened, but because J Wong, Chris G, and Ortiz are so good with their lame Chun play + Chun is a played out, "meh" damage character with predictable combos and light attack spam confirms to begin with, the game still gets mocked regularly, and this site only posts either SF X TKN mods or defamatory stuff like that post with the FGC gifs (causing others to follow suit). For that reason, I hope the game could (hopefully, but not likely) get one more patch, so as to make Chun less bs to engage, and hopefully change the image of this game to something less...slow during tournies.
Just being real here. No offense intended in the -> slightest <-.
#89
Mentioning SFxT stigma is not a valid comparison towards DoA. Regardless if the gameplay is good or not, that doesn't matter. People will play it despite the bickering on forums because it has SF characters and Tekken characters aka well established and popular IP figures. The entrants is still strong because 1. The last patch actually helped out the game noticeably and 2. Brand recognition.
People like to see teams of Ryu and Kazuya or Chun Li and Asuka etc. duke it out in a dream match. The over exaggerated people on forums claiming "Hate Gems!" "ON DISC DLC SUCKS! etc is a minor bump in the road. SFxT is still doing fine regardless of that stigma if you look at their entrant numbers and that was a game that Mr.Wizard was gonna pull initially at Evo. The SFxT stigma is much much younger and much less of an impact since it has the Capcom logo and features Tekken characters in a 2D plane.
The DoA negative image existed for several years so posting alot of gameplay video content or being a respectable tourney game is not gonna change the well known stigma of "Boob fanservice fighter" that easily for the fgc perception.
So If I get this right... your overall issue seems to be that sites like Eventhubs/ SRKs are posting numerous articles that is about the fan service around the game so thats why you are not properly informed on the game because of bad first impressions? Ok your doing it wrong if you and other people want proper knowledge in 3D fighters, let alone for DoA.
Those sites primarily post 2D Fighter content with the predominant ones being Capcom brand. Even the most "Accepted" 3D fighter in the FGC, the Tekken series rarely has proficient amount of content here nowadays besides anything related to recently relevant Tekken Revolution game which the news will die out once the reveals stop like how TTT2 content stopped becoming relevant here as a news source. VF recently was only relevant in those sites because of the Sega Cup and Justin Wong was apart of it. SC series hadn't had any news recently besides the HD remake of SCII.
However despite all this sites like Ehubs for example occasional DO post gameplay related articles for this series since sometimes EmperorCow videos are featured here (You can use the search engine on this site to find them) so even despite all that the typical Ehubs user should get a basic understanding that DoA is not some tittyfest. You don't have to be a hardcore fan that is an avid member on dedicated sites to understand this. Look past the boobs which is 2% of the game and understand that the other 98% of the game has little to nothing to do with it.
My point is your doing it wrong if you expect proficient knowledge surrounding a 3D fighter if your source of finding out information on them is that narrow that you rely on Ehubs/SRK etc
The DoA community isn't the issue, at least the Western community. The TN developers splice the fan service content in the game because there is a demand for it in Japan. Even games like Soul Caliber/Tekken understand this and tried to imitate DoA by making swimsuits in TTT2 to take a dive at that demographic of consumers. and other fan service content in their games (Sophita Critical finish in SCIV is just one example). Its a cultural issue then a TN or community issue if anything. You would know this if you were informed of their anime/manga fan service marketing techniques that is present in their games as well in Japan.
@90/91: Once again, you're missing the point. Regardless of whatever the reason why a "neutral" consumer wouldn't be informed of the non-fan service material in DOA, the point is that when it comes to going to more popular sites for DOA information (for gaming in general or for fighting games specifically), *most* of the time, you get the fan service. It's not my job as a neutral consumer to magically feel some sort of obsession with the title and go hunting for information high and low. Part of IF I do that comes from the impressions the game gives me. The problem with this series is that it's not pushing the game play past the fan service bits (or at least, not as proficiently as one would hope), so the FGC just thinks of DOA as that joke booby-fighter game.
Also, SF X TKN got hate out the ass, and it's still getting that hate whenever it shows up. It's been a lot of struggle on the community's part to keep the game going up to this point. Now, in both instances, it's not exactly fair that the game play is mitigated due to the cover of the book (or the game case, in this instance), but it is what it is. I can't just say "Well, go grow up", cause DOA DOES cater quite loudly to that type of stuff (in comparison to other fighting games). Also, I can't say "Well, stfu" cause SF X TKN did have a horrid first start, and left a bad taste in a lot of people's mouths regardless of possible improvements. It's something in the game's image that needs to change. If SF X TKN ever does get another patch (doubt it), I think it might work out, and as for DOA, hopefully things will turn out for the better with DOA6.
Still no offense intended in the -> slightest <-.
@92
That is not something you should place the problem on the series based on the editor's decisions to highlight a minimal aspect of the game. You allow articles like these to dictate your overall impression of the game, which isn't the series' fault. And no it is not hard to find some more info on sites if you can simply use Google and type in "whatevergameyouwant forum", which brings up some great forums for a specific fighter.
