Tomonobu Itagaki, Creator Of Ninja Gaiden And Dead Or Alive, Has Passed Away
RIP to a legend. Besides his always-on-sunglasses, i'll remember him as the reason why we had DOA beach volleyball, and why everyone was obsessed with jiggle physics in the mid-2000s. Not sure if that's how he wants to be remembered, but that's what's burned into my brain.
I never played the DOA Beach Volleyball, but I loved the Summer Heat Beach Volleyball, mostly because of a Kylie Minogue song on it. (Then there was you) Now every time I hear that song it makes me think of summer.
Was there a DOA that wasn't chicks playing Volleyball? I heard they invented entirely new boob physic simulations for that one
Yeah, the volleyball was a spinoff of the well-regarded fighting game series, which pioneered the jiggle physics.
