The next Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball will utilize Sony's virtual reality headset; release set for spring of 2016

Posted by John 'Velociraptor' Guerrero • September 21, 2015 at 6:23 p.m. PDT

What's better than Dead or Alive: Xtreme Beach Volleyball? How Dead or Alive: Xtreme Beach Volleyball with virtual reality support?

We recently discovered that a new edition of DOA: Xtreme Beach Volleyball, a spin off of the popular Dead or Alive fighting series, would be coming to PlayStation 4 and Vita.

During Tokyo Game Show, Team Ninja revealed that the upcoming title for PS4 would support Sony's upcoming PlayStation VR, a virtual reality headset. Though we don't know how, or to what degree, developers plan to implement this technology into their game, we're sure it'll be interesting to say the least.

Here are a few images from the upcoming title:

Considering the controversy in that many argue DOA Xtreme is based primarily on voyeurism, surely a lot of people will chime in with opinions on this move by developers. We'd like to know your thoughts on the matter as well.

Every copy of the VR edition should come with a gallon of water to save people from dehydration.

It'll probably just be used for the picture taking mode.

But this game will only be available in Japan, right? So, whatever, good for them I guess...

I hope they're actually working on the gameplay. I sincerely doubt I'll play this game unless I find it for like $5... but if they actually provide a good arcade volleyball game, I'd definitely consider buying it at a higher price.

There does seem to be a lack of arcade-style sports games, these days.

That_guy_who_plays_DOA said on September 21, 2015 at 7:14 p.m.

Right. Not because it's the best 3D fighter on the market, or at least could have arguments put forward as to why it is.
Why can't people laugh at the boobs and play the game? Thats what I do with SFV, which if it keeps it up as is I hope they get real juggle physics. Gameplay aside i've played enough doa to know Chuns tits need work. Get at this. R. Mika has nipple renders btw look it up.

I'm sorry, is there some sort of trade embargo on the game that I missed?

They've already stated that there's a possibility that the game will be localized, based on western demand. But yea, regardless of whether it does get translated or not, there's always the option to import it.
Not that I would import it, anyway. I'd only ever consider importing a fighting game or a shump... games that you don't really need to know the language to play.

There is only so much trolling a person can take on their game.

Wait... no Christie, Lei Fang, or Lisa?? What??
How does Marie Rose have so many votes?! Kind of a skewered vote if you ask me since it was mainly directed towards Japanese players... I guess that's the taste of most of the 'gravure' players. Also nearly all of the voted gals in the DOAX are 'Japanese', the others didn't' get voted for.

Eh, while all these gals are playin' volleyball, Mila's trainin' to kick all their butts.

Yes, because Urien has tons of shots of him panting and sweating in provocative poses and has his own section of the game where you can take pics and jiggle his croch...oh wait. Try again dude.

Abbadon36 said on September 21, 2015 at 8:33 p.m.

If I check the box "Other fighting games" will I stop seeing DOA?
Game is kinda embarrassing now.
I just don't want that option to block other games and news since DOA itself it not an option.

TrueGamingGuru said on September 21, 2015 at 8:34 p.m.

Virtual Reality does looks like it has potential (at least what I've seen from Microsofts Confrenece in E3), and it would be interesting to see how DOAX3 will look in Virtual Reality headset.

@God_Demon

You seem to be attracted to any DOA article, because you tend to make the most repetitive, annoying, and making reasons that may not be completely true comment that you've been doing for so long almost everytime DOA is ever mentioned. Why don't you just focus on games that you would rather be playing or articles your better off with, while you leave the ones you personally don't care about alone along with not visiting comment section just to type the same thing multiple times.

Oh a fanservice DoA article on ehubs. Just in time to get a chuckle at the comments while having my evening soup.

TrueGamingGuru said on September 21, 2015 at 9:36 p.m.

The only part of the reason this game is part of the news (despite the Xtreme series isn't part of the fighter genre) is because any characters that originated from a fighting game will get bit of news but it won't get as much topics compare to main fighting game titles. If Eventhubs covered more DOA news (like what FreeStepDodge or DOAWorld) from communities, streams, highlevel play, tutorials, & combos, DOAX3 wouldn't get covered as much compare to main titles.

This isn't the first that Eventhubs has posted news that may not qualify into fighting game from this, Project X Zone, Street Fighter X MegaMan, MMO game with Mai & Hanzo, and even post Five Nights at Freddys (which has nothing to do with fighting games, unlike the games that were covered).

#35
miyodarius said on September 21, 2015 at 9:59 p.m.

Yes, DOA has some of the best looking female characters in fighting game history and team Ninja exploit them. But don't sit here and say the reason people play DOA5 (a fighting game) is because of DOA volleyball game. Troll better

I was really looking forward to getting this, but how could they leave out so many of the iconic females or any of the females for that matter? :'(

#43
ninja_philosopher said on September 22, 2015 at 3:43 a.m.

That's an idiotic assumption as there are other possibilities than the one u mentioned and u r adding 'obviously'. At any rate, try again when Capcom does implement them. Your point is invalid as long as those things are not there.

#44
FightDirty said on September 22, 2015 at 3:49 a.m.

Indeed, I was planning to get this game but when I found out that Marie Rose & Konoka lead the voting by a large margin I've decided to give it a pass. That's just too creepy for me.

It won't be long before you will be able to have Virtual sex with the girls of DOA. Capcom ladies don't do that, they have class.

People who play DOA are delusional to the point they think extra bouncy boobs equals great gameplay.

Oh excuse me the best 3D gameplay.

LightSpdAeon said on September 22, 2015 at 4:50 a.m.

I find it funny. It being that the boobs that you some of you complain about (as if othee games don't have stuff, but i'll get back to that), when i myself, a guy who used to play doa5 didn't think about it. I played the game to use Hayabusa, rig, jacky bryant, etc. Also used Tina because she has moves like King ( as does r.mika now), but my point is, it seems like it mostly effects people who bash it due to their immaturity. Now, guys who buy the volleyball series, are on their own.

#51
Kenshiro said on September 22, 2015 at 6:55 a.m.

Well yeah but each fighting game franchise gets fun poked at it for some reason or another, you should be aware of atleast that much.

SF and it's many iterations and title changes.

MK for it's lack of cohesive balance changes, skimpy outfits and gorn gimmick.

So on and so forth. DoA 5 is not a bad title in my opinion...just as long as sex isn't the only draw. Since this isn't the main fighting game in the series entry and people are saying it's the best 3D fighter out there; then I see no problem in pointing out that if an offshoot of the game is all about T&A what harm is there in poking fun at that?

Sorry every fanbase has it's uptight defenders...this one is no different.

SummerUndercover said on September 22, 2015 at 8:37 a.m.

Every prior DOA game has been leading up to this masterpiece. This will be the pinnacle of the franchise - a beautiful marriage between virtual reality and jiggle physics. Welcome to the future. It is everything we hoped for and more.

@46 well actually they are all just objects devoid of any emotion or thought like all non real life characters.

TrueGamingGuru said on September 22, 2015 at 3:57 p.m.

Chances of virtual sex is more unlikely to be featured in DOA, since the CERO rating system don't allow explicit content ranging from body parts or virtual sex scenes examples games that were made in Western countries that contain these kind of content which ends up getting censored in Japan. DOA is no where explicit (nor will cross these lines regardless) or will likely follow the other hentai or western games.
