Venus Vacation

edit

InVenus Vacationthe player does not directly control the characters during beach volleyball matches. Instead, the game adopts aturn-based strategysystem in which the player can issue commands during time outs to prioritize attacking/spiking(labeled POW in-game) or defensive play (labeled TEC in-game),substituteplayers to conserve their stamina, and choose which opponent to target.

New events andgacha bannersare introduced weekly as part of in-game festivals. Through these banners the player can obtain swimsuits calledtrendy suitswhich highly boost the character stats during the corresponding event. Each festival has beach volleyball matches divided in difficulty levels ranging from E to SSS+ difficulty. The higher the level cleared, the higher the rewards obtained. These rewards may containpremium currencyand tickets to use on the game's gacha and consumable items to gift to the characters to raise theirexp.As characters level up, new character episodes andgravure-themed cutscenes are unlocked.[2]

Venus Vacationhas an extensivephoto modein which the player can make the characters pose in different parts of theVenus Islandincluding the beach, bar,onsen,[15]and the player's private room. The latter can be decorated by the player with different motifs.

Development

edit

The development ofDead or Alive Xtreme 3was first disclosed byTeam Ninjahead Yosuke Hayashi duringDead or Alive Festivalon August 1, 2015.[16]It was officially unveiled one week later inFamitsu,[17]and the first screenshots were published on August 21.[18]The PlayStation 4 version of game features an improvedbreast physicsengine fromDead or Alive 5 Last Round,called Soft Engine 2.0, with the PlayStation Vita version using Soft Engine Lite.[14][19]The Soft Engine 2.0 also allows the developers to implement greater realism towards object interactions, such as clothing wetness and deformation.[11]The PlayStation 4 version is compatible with thePlayStation VRheadset system.[20]The release date was originally scheduled for February 25, 2016, however it was later pushed back to March.

Afree-to-playversion of the game was released on May 16, 2016. The version contains all gameplay features and activities to try out, but the player can only play as Kasumi; all other characters need to be purchased additionally.[21]Originally, the PlayStation VR support patch was meant to be included for October 13, 2016, but was recently delayed for unknown reasons. Support was made available on January 24, 2017.

During the 2018Dead or Alivefestival held in Japan in November, Koei Tecmo announced a new edition of the game,Dead or Alive Xtreme 3: Scarlet,would launch for thePlayStation 4and theNintendo Switchon March 20, 2019, in Japan and Asia at least, with pre-orders for the game opening on November 19, 2018.[22]

Dead or Alive Xtreme Venus Vacationwas announced atTokyo Game Show 2016as PC-exclusive game.[23][1][24]A year later during Tokyo Game Show 2017, Koei Tecmo revealed the first details about the game's gameplay and monetization.[25]In September 2017, the inclusion of a new original character called Misaki was announced[26][27]and a trailer was released showcasing the ten characters available at launch along with more gameplay details.[28]

In an interview withSiliconera,Yasunori Sakuda commented that the reasonVenus Vacationadded so many new characters was due to the difficulty in reintroducing previous characters due to their existing relationships in the mainlineDead or Alivegames. For Sakuda, it was much easier to make characters from scratch whose stories had a deeper focus with the player.[29]

Release

edit

Dead or Alive Xtreme 3was released to Asian markets for PlayStation versions only,[30][31][32]but following protests from fans, Hayashi said a version of the game "adjusted for North America" might come to the West if the demand is high enough.[19][33][34][35]However, on November 24, 2015, Team Ninja posted on the franchise'sFacebookpage stating that they will not release the game in Western territories.[36][32]The game was distributed in Asian territories, where it does contain an English language option, along with Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese and Korean language options.

Following the announcement not to release the PlayStation version of the game outside Asia, a public debate arose whether this was due to avoid criticism of the sexualized portrayal of women in the games, or the comparatively low North American and European sales of the previous game in theDead or Alive Xtremeseries.[37][38]Shuhei Yoshida,president ofSony Interactive Entertainmentat the time, said in regard toDead or Alive Xtreme 3that Europe and North America have their cultural differences about how to depict women in video games and other media.[39]In response to the decision not to distribute, the developer behind the adult puzzle game and dating simHuniePopoffered Koei Tecmo a million dollars for distribution rights in North America.[40]

Dead or Alive Xtreme Venus Vacationwas released in Japan on November 15, 2017.[24]A Steam version, available only on Southeast Asian countries entered open beta on March 28, 2019.[2][41]This version supports English, Korean, and Chinese languages and was released on April 10, 2019. A cloud version was released on April 23, 2019 throughDMM Games.A second Steam version was released on August 19, 2020, connected to the original DMM Games version.[3]A second international version was released on July 1, 2021 through the gaming platform Johren.[4]

Due to its later release date, the international version of the game runs a year behind in content compared to the Japanese server. To make up for this content disparity, the international version would have occasional exclusive swimsuits and events created by the international development team that would come later to DMM. Reika, the 30th character to be added to the game, was the first character designed by the international team. To avoid upsetting Japanese players due to a delayed character release, she was released simultaneously on both versions.[42][43]

Since release,Venus Vacationhas had several collaborations with other series by Koei Tecmo, games by third parties, manga series, and more.[44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54]The game has also received merchandising since its inception.[55][56]

There's a lot of merit to Xtreme. The gravure pin-up aesthetic is gorgeous, and when coupled with the laid-back music and presentation, Xtreme is, simply, a fun and casual, no-pressure way to relax.
