Yoshinori Ueda, director of the PSP game Dead or Alive: Paradise, has told Eurogamer that his game was never supposed to be sexist. "We're certainly not trying to degrade women," he said. "They have beautiful bodies. We're trying to show off the beauty of their bodies but we're not trying to be degrading about it - we're trying to show that they are beautiful characters."
He also said that "[f]rom our perspective, we're trying to make beautiful women, that has been the focus - we want our characters to be beautiful. The DOA characters are strong and that they look the way they do is based on trying to bring out the beauty of women." You can check out some screenshots from it below while deciding on the merits of that statement, or that the goal was never "trying to make softcore porn".
The game has also recieved an European release date: it will be here April 2.
