DOAX2 video up on Live

By Tom Bramwell Published 6 July, 2006

Not for the first time.

Microsoft's swung a Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 trailer onto Marketplace.

Slipping gracefully into a relatively petite 121.89MB package, it showcases the game's volleyball, jet-skis, photo mode, tug of war and other daft little games.

It also pays no small amount of attention to the game's real stars - the ridiculously bouncy breasts of its feminine protagonists.

It's all a bit daft and not remotely sinister of course - but it's not half as daft and sinister as our claiming it's a new trailer, since it isn't.

Unless you spent the whole of May elsewhere (I dunno - maybe your employers actually let you sleep during E3 week), you've already had the option to download this one as part of Microsoft's many Marketplace offerings, since removed.

Well, this one's back, obviously. So if you're wondering what renowned drunkard Tomonobu Itagaki and his team are doing with DOAX2, now you can find out.

And if you're wondering why we're calling Itagaki a renowned drunkard, check out yesterday's news, where he reveals that around half of the stages in Dead or Alive 4 were thought up while the team was on the piss.

  • itamae #6 6 years ago

    Let's put it this way: I'd rather buy Bouncybreasts - The Game than one of those Shoot-the-terrorists games like GRAW (GRRRRAAAAAWW!).

    Edit: GRRRAAAAW indeed...

    But you could download real videos of bouncing ladies from the 'net for nothing. Is anyone really going to pay £50 to play silly mini-games with pretend ladies?

    On the one hand, I cant imagine anything worse than HD porn. On the other hand, I cant imagine anything better than HD porn.......

    In other news, people buy games with big boobed girls in them. Except Red Ninja, because that sucked.

  • miiiguel #11 6 years ago

    Team Ninja deserves my full respect for what they've done towards the gaming community, so I'll get this game. It also looks kinda kistch in a cool way.

    Anyway, anyone knows if this is the E3 trailer or a new one ?

  • Dark_Stranger #12 6 years ago

    mmmmmm breasts

  • t8yman #13 6 years ago

    @miiiguel - did you actually read the article? yes its the e3 trailer.

    and yes, I was embarassed by this trailer, I actually laughed out loud the first time I watched it, and the second, and the third, and the fourth etc etc

    Laughed until tears came out.



    Man tears that is.

    'Boobs do not bounce that way! '
    It's a game,not a perfect life simulation.
    It's like saying blood should spray all over the car with body parts ripped from the torso when I drive through a crowd in GTA at 150mph.
    It's not real,it's pure fantasy,if you want real life,go and get one!

    If that Itagi came up to me and said, "I've got an idea for a cool game. You play as ladies, doing lady things, like frolicking and prancing and catfighting and playing volleyball in revealing bikinis and high heels"
    I would say "That's a great idea! It would primarly be used for wanking, but there is nothing wrong with that. I only wonder why no one's done it already"

    If he then continued, "Here's the best bit: instead of sexy ladies, we have cartoon children with massive funbags like Lea from big brother and big freaky eyes", i would say "OI, ITAGI, NO!, Involving tiny tikes in such a title would be at best morally ambiguous, and the giant eyes put me off my stroke".

    The real shame is, I'd love this game if the character models weren't so wrong. Any game-make-o-people reading this: please make me a proper wanking game.
