Epitomize: The Dead or Live serial is a strange animate being. While not in the aforementioned league as Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat, some of the 3D fighting games are pretty good and have earned glowing reviews. That's not what they're all-time known for, of course—that would be the titillation on offer from its ample-breasted characters. Despite its infamy, publisher Koei Tecmo is firmly against people making nude mods, especially if footage of said mods ends upwards on a DVD.

As reported by Japanese publication Famitsu and translated past Siliconera, the offending DVD, which was sold on an sale site, contained recordings from several titles, including Dead or Alive Xtreme: Venus Holiday. But this wasn't but footage of the vanilla games; information technology had been modded for "the removal of character habiliment."

DOA publisher Koei Tecmo is far from flattered by the DVD, and considers it to be copyright infringement. The company is looking to file both a criminal case and ceremonious adjust against the person or persons responsible as it seeks restitution for the violation.

"I only play it for the great volleyball mechanics"

Dead or Alive Xtreme: Venus Vacation is a spin-off of the DOA beach volleyball series. It's free-to-play, with players able to spend real-globe money on characters' bikinis and accessories. The game is only bachelor in Japan, only you lot can check out the trailer here.

DOA's developers have spoken out against nude mods in the past. When Dead or Live 5: Last Circular became the first in the series to country on the PC, game director Yohei Shimbori threatened to pull future games from the platform if players took liberties. While not mentioning nude mods explicitly, he asked people to "play our game in skillful moral and manner." Information technology took almost a day for the nude mods to appear, simply Shimbori's threat never came to laissez passer. We saw a similar nude mod controversy when Final Fantasy Fifteen arrived on PC.
