Team Ninja explains Dead or Alive 5 tagline |
Listed in: Games Tags: dead or alive 5, Team Ninja, tecmo koei
When Tecmo Koei showed off Dead or Alive 5 for the first time during the tail end of their pre-Tokyo Game Show party, the game came with the tagline "fighting entertainment". Sounds a bit Engrish-y, but apparently there's more to it than that.
Speaking to gaming news site Joystiq, Team Ninja boss Yosuke Hayashi explained that the tagline reflects their desire to bring back the spectacle to fighting games.
Where games like Street Fighter II had "some of the most outrageous graphics, fun gameplay, and really a lot of stuff going on", Hayashi implied that most modern games have foregone the more over the top aspects to focus on online multiplayer competitions. In his view, this has led to fighting games that seem "a little bit dull, in some aspects".
Team Ninja hopes to make things more interesting by making Dead or Alive 5's stages even more interactive than in previous entries where "most of the dangers were fixed". As seen in the trailer released a few days back, there's all sorts of chaos happening during a match. Players will be able to trigger changes to the "geometry" of the stages themselves.
It all sounds interesting and all, but Team Ninja is still skirting the question that's foremost in our minds: where the hell are the boobs?
