Dead or Alive 5 To Feature More Realistic Character Models

In an interview with Gamasutra, Team Ninja’s Yosuke Hayashi revealed Dead or Alive 5 will have more realistic looking women in the game.

The Dead or Alive series has been renowned for featuring women with large breasts and other appearances you won’t see in real life. The shift in focus means that women depicted in the game will be more true to the real world.

“We’ve always had the sex factor in the game; in the past, the female characters had to have big breasts, they had to have scanty dress,” Hayashi said. “In [Dead or Alive] 5 especially, we’re trying to focus on the real women that surround us; the voice of a female, the mannerisms. We are being realistic about it.”
