“Chest Wobble” For Ayane In Fatal Frame V Was Developer Priority

Last Week Gamer Headlines reported that Ayane, the ninja with large assets from the Dead or Alive franchise, will be available as a playable character upon completing the main campaign in Fatal Frame V: The Black-Haired Shrine Maiden. In the recent issue of Famitsu, it was reported that Yosuke Hayashi, head of Dead or Alive developer Team Ninja, specifically requested that Ayane have a place in the game, and that Team Ninja gave Koei Tecmo advice on how to handle her chest wobble.

Lol ok , thats not why we play Fatal Frame , we came for the atmosphere , story and unique gameplay .

[nX]

You got wobbling boobs though, don't even start to complain. Got to love these japanese developers for giving stuff like that "high priority".

[DarkOcelet]

Hey am not complaining , but high priority in a game like fatal frame , it just is a bit weird just like in FFXIII-3 because nobody really cares for that in such games .

[rambi80]

Making the world a better place, one pair at a time

[UltimateMaster]

Next gen boobs.
Fatal Frame's Wobble Factor.

[SilentNegotiator]

Came for the atmosphere , story and unique gameplay...stayed for the boob wobble.

Also, came for the boob wobble ;)

[pcz]

a shame an international release wasnt higher on the list of priorities!

[Baccra17]

You have something against physics? What's next, you going to start hating on gravity?

[Chrischi1988]

lol!!! Really? No... really? The title made me laugh so hard^^

I could just imagine a brainstorming session for this game..

"So I came up with some great new ideas about the story we can infuse into the game here, here and here. How about using this idea as a jump scare? Take a look at these concept drawings.."

"Yes, yes, that's all fine and dandy... but do her boobs jiggle?"

[jeowulf]

I just can't stop thinking about this:

[Kevlar009]

Not T for Teen anymore

[Odoylerules000]

Well, that had to be some prime trolling for the game makers to put up with. Yosuke Hayashi, you rascal. Still, since Ayane(for some reason..) is in the game, it just wouldn't be right to not have a little jingle-jangle wiggle waggle...if you know what I mean.

[Enemy]

Usually it's a sign that your game is going to be garbage if you have to rely on wobbling chests to sell your game.

[WeAreLegion]

You unlock Ayane after you beat the game. Hayashi just wanted to make sure the team got the character right. I think it's a bit ridiculous to focus on boobs, regardless, but I'm just clarifying. I doubt Ayane will be a massive selling point. Just a bit of fun.

[Spotie]

Rely? What even indicates they're relying on it? One unlockable character? Really?

"It’s no wonder some women take issue with female portrayal in games. It’s still very much a man’s world, and the popularity of characters like Ayane or Bayonetta certainly aren’t waining [sic]."

I love how character realism is promoted in every aspect except breasts. Breasts wobble; anyone who is a large-breasted woman or with a large-breasted woman knows that they complain about their boobs bouncing. Modeling that isn't easy.

Realism in games is good...except when a vocal minority dislikes it.

[TheTwelve]

According to that vocal minority, big breasted women don't exist and shouldn't be portrayed in games. =)

[Aleithian]

They should tell my wife that. ;-)

[skyrimer]

Exactly, no game has even got close to this: http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[Aleithian]

Indeed.

[R6ex]

Now, that's PhysX ... lol

[Kingdomcome247]

I'm not here to say that the Japanese are any more perverted than the next country, but they along with other countries sure seem to be more open about it. I can't see a Western dev saying this outright.

[DragonKnight]

Because the women of Femnazistan would crucify them for it.

[Kingdomcome247]

You're quite right.

[randomass171]

And just like that now the idea is in my head that Feminazistan is the reason this game is not being localized...

Damn you Feminazistand! *shakes fist*

[DragonKnight]

Hey, it's a very real possibility that that's the reason why. Think about it. Would you want to be a dev that has to deal with Femnazistani women attacking you for your game when you can release it in your own country and people, you know, don't lose their sh*t over it?

[Dunban67]

Most women could care less about something like that in a video game - but the vocal minority making noise about anything to do w women In video games have people feeling the need to apologize for someone else's creative and or business decision.

Why the commentary as it relates to video games, a relatively inocuos medium/industry?

Have these people ever listens to many a rap song? Ever thumbed through an issue of Cosmo or looked at a Vicroria s Secret catalogue

Maybe the developer just wanted to make sure everyone knows her boobs are real so he made them jiggle

[Pozzle]

I don't think it's necessarily that Japan is more 'open' about these things. It's just that certain things that are taboo here aren't taboo there, and vice-versa. I've heard many Japanese people say they prefer American movies and shows because they're a lot more open about things like relationships and sex. We don't see a whole lot of boob jiggle and short skirts, but they don't see a whole lot of open-mouth kissing and couples having sex.

[Muzikguy]

8th gen is all about dat bewb fizzix.

[Chinkyinc18]

I want Nvidia PhysX jiggles! Screw the walk-wobble, I wanna see breast movement reacting from object interactions. If anyone can do it, Japan can!

[Jag-T1000]

Yes, let's make this a priority in all games!

[Kennytaur]

Might need a stability-patch if it's too wobbly.

Can't help but smirk at it being high priority. Why is she even playable? That makes no sense to me.

[Skate-AK]

Too bad localizing it isn't a "priority."

[HonestDragon]

This was a priority for Fatal Frame? Uh...okay?

[DualWielding]

wobble or not wobble I won't buy a Wii U just for this game

[aerisbueller]

"It’s no wonder some women take issue with female portrayal in games. It’s still very much a man’s world, and the popularity of characters like Ayane or Bayonetta certainly aren’t waining"

Oh no! Boobs!

I have a suggestion for feminists who don't like Ayane's chest. Don't buy this game, or don't select her as a character.

[Hotabang]

LOL japan 1 - 0 sarkeesian
