New DOAX2 trailer pushes the limits

by Richard Mitchell { Oct 23rd 2006 at 11:30AM }

We never thought we'd say this, but the new Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 trailer may be too bouncy. Available on Marketplace right now (the old E3 trailer has been re-re-released as well), the trailer is very long and very bouncy. So bouncy that it's disturbing, and, dare we say it, unrealistic. But that's really what it's all about, right? Still, this trailer is naughty. Lei Fang on a stripper pole, a little girl on girl "back rub" action, and more tiny swimsuits than you can shake a stick at. Honestly, we wouldn't be surprised if DOAX2 becomes a media target when it ships this winter. Seriously, it's just south of actual porn. See what all the fuss is about after the break. Oh, and they're all technically wearing clothes, but it's still probably NSFW.

Isn't it about time they fix the hair? It looks terrible. See the video in HD here.

Yeahhhhhhhh, that game is a tad bit ridiculous....

Richard 004PT @ Oct 23rd 2006 12:34PM

Good-Golly-Miss-Molly!!! What are they thinking?

mupwangle @ Oct 23rd 2006 12:38PM

There is something quite disturbing about the constantly moving norks. I don't think I've ever seen that happen in real life.

jge @ Oct 23rd 2006 12:43PM

That's what happens when you go from silicone implants to saline.

Giddieon @ Oct 23rd 2006 12:44PM

I am imbarassed that this game is on the 360... the creator of this game is such an asshole and he thinks he is gods gift to us...

Such shit...

Nickk @ Oct 23rd 2006 12:47PM

I don't see the problem, isn't that what women look like?

Hummm. I seem to have been struck with rigor mortis.

Yes, that was a ridiculously long, bouncy trailer. And I feel totally guilty that my eyes were glued to the screen for the duration. I feel dirty.

But they really got the point accross. It is very hot. But the individually jiggling bresticles were what broke the illusion for me. Or the breathing-induced jiggling. That was a bit much.

I know a certain demographic of Japanese men that will eat this up. 10 to 85.

But, intelligent-looking Helena, wearing glasses, and reading a book. Nothing sexier in the whole vid.

Finally, I think this is a poor move. Most guys will be able to do the same thing with just this free video that they would have been able to with the full game...if you catch my poorly disgused drift.

rooot @ Oct 23rd 2006 12:49PM

hey- they got bouncy-boobs. it's ridicolous how "they" bounce arround. cmon - you can do better than that!

i guess it's such a japanese thing. just to bring more 360s to japan.

for myself - it's just silly.

NEO1X @ Oct 23rd 2006 1:05PM

Not even my hunger for achievements will drive me to get this one. I think all the guys at team ninja need to get girlfriends and second why are they working on this crap when they should be putting their time into Ninja Gaiden 2

Scott @ Oct 23rd 2006 1:33PM

I'd still like to see some behind the scenes footage of meetings where the devs discuss the physics of the bouncy boobies.

There's got to be a ton of unintentional comedy in those.

george @ Oct 23rd 2006 1:53PM

Anyone who doesn't like this game is gay... as in homosexual.

BklynKid @ Oct 23rd 2006 1:57PM

I kinda feel like a pervert for just watching the whole thing.

dirk @ Oct 23rd 2006 2:00PM

Pushing the limits?? Hardly. Now if one of those girls was skewered between two guido's love sausages while another girl is crouched over her face taking a shit in her mouth... that might be pushing the limits... maybe.

The boobs are honestly large and bouncy enough that its detracting from the overall sexiness of the girls. They're no longer aesthetically pleasing, just big and kind of skanky, like Anna Nicole Smith.

But I seem to recall that in Dead or Alive 2 the boob size was directly correlated to the age the player entered at the profile information screen. Does anyone else remember this? Hopefully it's similar in this game and this video is the result of telling the game that you're 99 years old.

ace @ Oct 23rd 2006 2:14PM

Loved it!

mr.truth @ Oct 23rd 2006 2:50PM

As a man I have no shame in saying I enjoy the female form bouncing tits are always nice and don't confuse giving attention with an "I wanna fu*k you" mentality.But someone else pointed it out that itagaki thinks hes the greatest thing in gaming cause his simple ass fighter is online and virtua fighter still won't be.

mr.truth @ Oct 23rd 2006 3:01PM

While I do agree that this one could've waited till AFTER the next ninja gaiden and likely a DOA update before starting work on this one but from a designer perspective it does make sense to do a game that centers on more leisure styled activity.But they need to get girlfriends thats saying a bit much about ppl you don't know.As I sadi before I enjoy the female form and if you wanna make a game with women that ALL have huge tits whats wrong with that?You wanna see a flat chested woman?GO OUTSIDE...and lastly you MUST be a petite 100lbs guy if big tits intimidate you.

Clay @ Oct 23rd 2006 3:12PM

Am I the only one who noticed the Giant Enemy Crab!?

...had to.

DeadPlasmaCell @ Oct 23rd 2006 3:16PM

It's almost too unrealistic to be anything but a joke or something.. Have they even studied real womens chests or anything! :) I showed my wife this and she laughed her ass off... She has bigger cans than the chicks in this video and they don't move anywhere near like they do in the video.. I know it's a game and all but in the words of the great GOB "Come on!!"

malberto @ Oct 23rd 2006 4:40PM

DeadPlasmaCell:

"I showed my wife this and she laughed her ass off... She has bigger cans than the chicks in this video and they don't move anywhere near like they do in the video.."

I find it mildly interesting you feel the need to point that out. Who are you trying to convince?

Doug @ Oct 23rd 2006 4:42PM

I didn't even watch it. I'm very proud of myself :)

Giant enemy crab, though? Now that's quality.

What The Geek @ Oct 23rd 2006 5:44PM

Yes, yes, we all know of the "jello physics", but what I would like to know is why is their clumpy ass hair flowing right through their bodies the whole time? I know it'll be tough, but watch it a second time and take your eyes OFF of the breasts and you'll see what I mean.

Seriously though, this game will suck out loud.

JimJimBinks @ Oct 23rd 2006 6:00PM

If there was ever a game that could make really good use of Gordan Freeman's gravity gun, this would be it.

Xiath @ Oct 23rd 2006 6:41PM

@ What the Geek

You are completely right, the hair is just disgusting. I mean I couldn't finish the video just because the hair kept making me cringe.

J. Reinhold @ Oct 23rd 2006 7:20PM

Pornography/hentai is great and all, but 60 dollars for that? As a horny nerd, I'll pass.

Pince @ Oct 23rd 2006 7:52PM

They somehow managed to make that game unsexy.

A couple notes to Team Ninja. First of all, even a little bit of subtlty greatly adds to the sexiness of something.

The boob bouncing was just fricking ridiculous and I expected some of those scenarios to devolve into really bad porno at any second.

Also, the way the girls move is so pathetic and lacks any semblance of grace. These are the things that made the DOA girls sexy at one point; a bare minimum level of subtlty (but still there) and a sort of fluid grace and beauty.

Oh yes, and I could not stop myself from noticing how horrible the hair looks as it passes through limbs and floats around in chunky blocks. For shame.

And, as someone else said, if they are going to waste their time like this they should ust scrap this BS and work on something fun like Ninja Gaiden 2 (crappy porno belongs on the internet and in the back room of video stores, not taking dev time from good games).

DiedFamous @ Oct 23rd 2006 7:53PM

The girls look terrible, it looks like there's twice as many polygons in the breasts than there are in the whole rest of the model, and the physics that effect them are insane, its like theres an anti-gravity feild located right on their chests and nowhere else. And the hair does look terrible, I couldn't belive how badly it clips right through the models, it throws any scrap of realism that they might have had completely out the window. Hair in Soul Calibur II and III from LAST generation's consoles looked better than this crap.

worldpeace @ Oct 23rd 2006 8:28PM

whatever

whew @ Oct 23rd 2006 8:43PM

... i need a towel.

OldElvis @ Oct 23rd 2006 8:54PM

These look like jello implants, not saline or silicone

M3d1akiD @ Oct 23rd 2006 10:30PM

Wow...that was extremely fake. Their b00bs bounced way too much, and their hair was like paper. It was total rediculous, yet strangly hot(I need a gf).

Mazzani @ Oct 23rd 2006 10:31PM

Wow, I must say that the game, in its current state, looks like utter crap. First off, their hair reminds of a bloody Komondor (http://www.komondor.org/assets/images/Jani_1), and the boobs... heavens how I love boobs, but those are just ridiculous. I can understand some bounce to make them more natural, but when every step makes them shake like a Jell-O mold in an earthquake, that is just too much. Please guys, have some jump around and play in a pseudo lesbian fashion, but for God's sake... tighten down those boobies.

Tom @ Oct 23rd 2006 10:47PM

They need bouncier vaginas.

Big Ed @ Oct 23rd 2006 11:01PM

Shamoo, you dog! :)

john @ Oct 23rd 2006 11:03PM

"Seriously, it's just south of actual porn."

saying this resembles pornography is ridiculous. this is no different the men's magazines that show women in skimpy outfits like Maxim. this game is rated M you know...

uclatommy @ Oct 23rd 2006 11:50PM

Ha! you fools! They are all lesbians.

Anyone can tell from a mile away. First of all, they are on a deserted island full of females. What the heck kind of vacation is that?! I'll tell you what kind-- the lesbian kind..

They frolick with each other like wild deer in the forest. They give each other massages. In many of the scenes, I can just imagine that girl A frolicks with girl B, girl A pushes down girl B, they fall on each other and bam! and 15 seconds later they are making out on the beach.

Suba @ Oct 24th 2006 1:23AM

Ha! They would blink and those things would dance for an hour. Apparently in the DOA universe, gravity around the chest area is reduced by a factor of 5.
Is this suppose to be the sequel of DOA extreme beach volleyball? Because I saw about 2 seconds of the sport and they werent even playing it, she was just standing on the court. Guess that's what called for the renaming...

nithron @ Oct 24th 2006 5:12AM

The DOA games have been on THREE seperate generations of consoles and the characters' hair still has this amazing ability to pass through solid objects.

Bloody fix it already!

Oh, and the graphics still aren't a huge upgrade on DOA2. Seriously, what do the developers for this series do all day?

gabur @ Oct 24th 2006 9:44AM

Seriously, it is for kids who do not have any girl...

But I agree on the fact the creator is irresponsible (even if I am a big boobs lover):
- This game will be rated T for teen and not M
- It objectify woman instead of learning to kids that respect is important
- He looks like a big perv on every interview !

Dark Morford @ Oct 24th 2006 10:33AM

"- This game will be rated T for teen and not M"

Nope. The ESRB gave DOAX2 an M rating, with content descriptors for Partial Nudity, Sexual Themes, and Simulated Gambling. Sounds just right for what's in the game.

In fact, the last Dead or Alive game to get a T rating was DOA3, and that was re-rated to M for its Platinum Hits release.

asb @ Oct 24th 2006 10:56AM

One step forward, two steps backward. Yeah, I remember thinking earlier that indeed, in some clothing, the DOA girls' breasts would behave independently. But Jesus, they ramped it up from "jiggle" back to "bounce," and it's almost as bad as the unrealistic bounce from the very first game.

This series has run itself into the ground. DOA 1 was okay, DOA 2 was great for its time, and what's changed since DOA 2? Nothing but graphics, and I guess in this case, breast physics. Hey Team Ninja, just focus on the Ninja Gaiden games, please?

SinistarX @ Oct 24th 2006 11:43AM

I doubt DOAX2 will be much of a media target. Rumble Roses and Rumble Roses XX both got by without so much as a mention.

randomshagz @ Oct 24th 2006 1:02PM

so... um... where was the V-Ball?

Simon @ Oct 24th 2006 1:30PM

ove the top

Simon @ Oct 24th 2006 1:30PM

Don't think it's too bouncy. It's just fun to watch, nobody expects it to be realistic. You wouldn't want realistic porn, would you? I laugh at these girls and their boobs, it's so over the edge. But they should definitely work at these hairs, it looks awful. If it would just fall down, no problem, but it's bouncing from the body and through the shoulders like models through a wall in a bad 10 year old 3d shooter.
