Dead or Alive Paradise Has "Creepy Voyeurism", Says The ESRB

As expected, Dead or Alive Paradise is rated "M" for mature. You would expect a game this ridiculous to come with a hilarious descriptions of "deep cleavage", but the ESRB wrote something unusually dry.

The author picked apart the game and questioned, somewhat seriously, if Dead or Alive Paradise accurately portrays what women want. Of course, it doesn't. Dead or Alive Paradise has tasteless pool hopping mini-games. Anyway, here is Dead or Alive Paradise, as seen through the lens of the ESRB.

this just stinks of Itagaki, i hate that guy.

Gago5194d ago

itagaki didn't make this game you idiot

all of tecmos/teamninja games have gone downhill after he left

hell even NGS2 is just a remake of his game

Demons Souls5194d ago

Actually since Itagaki left the games have been getting better. The Sigma series is much better than the originals with all of the extra content that they added and I'm sure the future games will be a lot better too.

Baka-akaB5194d ago

I can only agree with demons souls sentiment here .

Besides dont pretend itagaki didnt do the same and actually worse with Doa extreme beach volley 1-2? That's where the idea for this game even comes from .

Aleusia5194d ago

Itagaki is a horrible person, a horrible developer, a horrible producer, and just an all around bad example of japanese video game executives. Seriously...why would you defend the guy? this has nothing to do with consoles, Itagaki is a bad person.

Tony P5194d ago

No, he's actually a great dev.

The guy put Tecmo back on the map by developing their two hottest properties in recent memory: DoA and Ninja Gaiden.

It's Dead or Alive. Who's SERIOUSLY surprised that it's a creepy game for 14 year old boys?

Rockox5194d ago

ME. This news is like, blowin' my mind, man.

Baka-akaB5194d ago

why "creepy voyeurism" ? is there a non creepy kind out there ?

Redempteur5194d ago

there is objective voyeurism (doesn't exist in video games yet )

and fantasy voyeurism ( pokemon snap )

voyeurism sure is diverse /s

Baka-akaB5194d ago (Edited 5194d ago )

voyeurism has a negative connotation period . Adding the adjective creepy is just silly ...
or maybe some folks play brutally violent games , i dunno :p

You dont call pokemon or afrika a voyeurism game obviously .

Redempteur5194d ago

now that you mention it i told someone today that he was a overwhelming black hole of ideas ..

i guess overwhelming + black hole was too much ...

ApocalypseShadow5194d ago

"t!ts" and "@ss".

i love female t!ts and @ss too.lol!

Aleusia5194d ago

stereotype much? not all of them are like that, just like not all of us are into this crap either.

Baka-akaB5194d ago

And leisure suit Larry didnt exist ? Sure it's not currently popular much , but being a leech is hardly some japanese default trait .

Games and sex themes: getting things right

Digitally Downloaded writes: "The reality is though that, just in real life and in the other forms of art out there, sex plays a much greater role in games than many realise. The obvious games featuring bikinis, shirtless hulking men and interactive sex scenes are just the tip of the iceberg; underneath it is a host of games where sexuality is a metaphoric theme or artistic construct.

Below are ten games that I think are especially effective in how they make use of sexual themes. Some are obvious, others are more academic in their application of such themes"

Let's Take a Look: Portable Design

Writer: Thomas Williams

The standard platforms for game design are either PCs or home consoles, both of which normally exist within private, stable, and controlled conditions. Thus, given the design of home games, the environment in which they’re played is not given much thought. Portable games on the other hand are interesting, since they can be played in a multitude of places, all of which can have an effect on gameplay and design. How does one effectively design for a portable game? How can we make them better? What are the main principles behind portable games? Well, let’s take a look.

Very true it's an oft understated aspect of portable game development.

Metal gear solid peace walker managed that transition very well. Which is a good way to contrast the two ways of developing within the same genre.
