Happy 27th Anniversary to Dead or Alive!
On the 26th of November, twenty seven years ago, the original Dead or Alive game was released in Japanese arcades.
The world was introduced to the fast-paced action of DOA, and with DOA2 and 3 heralded as two of the best fighting games in the genre, it established itself as a landmark title in the fighting game genre as well as gaming in general.
Tumblr media
The plot centers on the fight between the Mugen Tenshin Ninja Clan and the giant conglomerate DOATEC, host of the Dead or Alive World Combat Championship tournaments. Featuring a cast of colourful and cool characters, all fighting in the tournaments in hopes of fulfilling their own personal goals.
The impressive counter-based combat system, beautiful graphics and crazy stage interactions, from exploding fuel tanks to jumping off cliffs and tumbling down staircases, are the three core pillars of DOA that set it apart from its competition. Of course, the female cast, for better or worse, is also central to DOA, gaining popularity with its fans as well as notoriety with the general public, who often thinks there is no actual substance under the massive catalogue of swimsuit DLCs and breast physics. Oversexualislzation of female characters in games, and fighting games specifically, is nothing new, but where DOA differentiated from other mainstream fighting games, is by launching a spin-off series, the notorious Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball sub-series, where the female cast and their sex appeal is put front and center, a factor that continued to spill over more and more to the main series in DOA4 and 5, with the team attempting to set the fighting game line of the series apart with DOA6, to mixed results.
As of 2016, the franchise has sold over 9.7 million units worldwide.
The future of the main fighting game series is currently unknown. Xtreme Beach Volleyball is still going strong, but after DOA6 failed to impress both the wider casual audience and the competitive FGC scene, while also pissing off longtime fans with predatory DLC practices on top of that, a DOA7 does not currently seem possible in the horizon, with Team Ninja currently enjoying the aftermath of Nioh's success.
I grew up with DOA and will be eagerly awaiting news of its eventual return, because a series with so much wackiness and genuinely fun gameplay will eventually crawl itself back from the dead, I'm sure of it!

Wanted to try out making dioramas as a new thing for my renders, as opposed to just having the normal transparent renders. Per the request of @exilesreach I decided to do Yukino as a test run since A. may as well considering how expensive she is in DOAXVV and B. she's cute. Thinking I'll do what I can in the future to do more stuff like this, improve upon it, all that.

"Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball" for the Xbox console
Reviewing "Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball" requires an exploration that balances the lighthearted and often whimsical elements of the game with underlying philosophical themes.
1. The Hedonistic Pursuit and the Philosophy of Pleasure: At its core, "Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball" is a celebration of hedonism, set in an idyllic vacation environment. Philosophically, this can be seen through the lens of Epicureanism, an ancient school of thought that advocated for the pursuit of pleasure as the highest good. However, unlike the nuanced Epicurean pursuit of moderate, sustainable pleasures, the game embraces a more bombastic, over-the-top interpretation of hedonism – it's less about sipping fine wine and more about chugging an energy drink.
2. The Objectification of Characters and Satire of Gender Stereotypes: The game's portrayal of its predominantly female characters in minimal beachwear and engaging in beach volleyball matches can be seen as a satirical take on gender stereotypes and objectification. It's as if the game developers read Simone de Beauvoir's "The Second Sex" and thought, "Sure, but what if they played volleyball?" The exaggerated nature of this portrayal can be interpreted as a humorous, albeit controversial, commentary on the absurdity of objectification in video games.
3. The Absurdity of Existence and Escapism: "Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball," with its improbable setting and premise, mirrors Albert Camus's concept of the Absurd – the conflict between the human tendency to seek inherent value and meaning in life and the inability to find any in a purposeless, meaningless universe. The game seems to respond to this philosophical dilemma with, "Why not play some beach volleyball?" It's an escapism so blatant that it becomes a tongue-in-cheek nod to existentialist thought.
4. The Simulacrum and Baudrillard's Hyperreality: From a philosophical standpoint, the game can be seen as an example of Jean Baudrillard's concept of hyperreality, where the representation of reality (or in this case, a beach vacation) becomes more real than reality itself. The game's hyperrealistic depiction of a beach vacation, complete with unrealistically perfect weather and gravity-defying volleyball physics, challenges players to distinguish between the game's exaggerated portrayal of reality and the mundanity of actual beach vacations.
5. The Paradox of Choice in a Controlled Environment: The game offers players a variety of choices, from selecting characters to choosing outfits and activities. However, these choices occur within a tightly controlled environment, reflecting the philosophical paradox of choice: Are we truly free if our choices are constrained within predetermined boundaries? It’s like contemplating free will in a candy store, but all the candy is volleyball-themed.
6. The Philosophy of Play and Games as Cultural Artifacts: Lastly, "Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball" exemplifies the philosophy of play. It invites players to engage in an experience that is frivolous and fun on the surface but can also be seen as a reflection of cultural attitudes and values. The game, in its unapologetic embrace of leisure and playfulness, serves as a reminder that sometimes the deepest philosophical insight is found in not taking things too seriously.
In conclusion, "Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball" is a philosophically rich game when viewed through a lens that appreciates both its playful absurdity and its satirical take on deeper themes. It engages players with concepts like hedonism, gender stereotypes, existential absurdity, hyperreality, the paradox of choice, and the philosophy of play, all wrapped up in a beach volleyball package that's hard to take entirely seriously.

21 of June was the official first day of summer which means it's time to cry about not being able to go to the beach (for now) because I'm still serving in the damn army.

Nevertheless, to celebrate I collected all DOAXBV and X2 songs that I could find on Spotify
Enjoy!
