Dead or Alive: Paradise is not softcore pornography or degrading to women, director Yoshinori Ueda says, responding to criticism of the upcoming PSP game. Instead, it’s all about “beautiful women.”
“From 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,” Ueda told Eurogamer.
“We’re certainly not trying to degrade women. 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.”
