People have noticed that some of the previews we've had for Dead or Alive 5 have a bit less bouncy boobs than previous versions of the game. As it turns out, the guys at Team Ninja had that goal in mind all along. In this new behind-the-scenes vid we get to hear (and read, since most it's in Japanese) the thoughts that these guys have in their heads when designing the characters of the Dead or Alive series.

It seems that although they wanted to retain the "beauty" of the characters in Dead or Alive 5, they wanted to make this game more "mature" than past iterations. In this case, "mature" means less "Rated M for Mature" and more "we're not 15 years-old anymore so let's act like it." That's what it seems like anyway - for better or worse.

They also go into how they collaborated with Sega to get some of the Virtua Fighter characters into the game. Good stuff.

Check out the vid below and let us know what you think about the direction Dead or Alive 5 is going.
