** [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] in the [=RE2=] remake as Claire doesn’t have short shorts, though the camera still [[https://youtu.be/nhGG2A9KhNg?t=648 lingers around her denim clad buttocks]] when she’s crawling or knocked over. Played straighter if you select Claire’s alternate costume which brings back the aforementioned short shorts.

* In ''Videogame/{{Vanquish}}'' all the cutscenes with Elena have the camera placed low to ground looking up, getting the best look at [[ShesGotLegs her legs]] to point where the camera seems like it’s gonna fly up her skirt at any moment.

* Zero Suit Samus from ''VideoGame/{{Metroid}}'' is [[https://youtu.be/gNEw3hYN6O8?t=1045 introduction]] in The Subspace Emissary, the Adventure Mode of ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Brawl'', with her dropping to the ground from an air vent followed by a slow pan from her legs to her face. Clad in a SpyCatsuit as she is, this is hardly surprising.

Clad in a SpyCatsuit as she is, this is hardly surprising.

** If you stare long at a female marine’s chest area in ''VideoGame/Halo3'' they make funny comments ranging from merely explaining why that’s why they call it a “breastplate” or literally telling you that milk isn’t coming out so there’s no point in ogling.

** Trish’s AbsoluteCleavage gets plenty of attention in [[VideoGame/DevilMayCry DMC1]] and with the creation of JigglePhysics Trish’s breasts get even more attention in [=DMC4=] and [[https://youtu.be/6SMKTVMQpYs?t=65 especially]] ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3''.
** In [[VideoGame/DevilMayCry3 DMC3]] there’s a suspicious amount of times the camera zooms in on Lady’s [[ShesGotLegs thighs]] and her mini-skirt clad lower body in general and even if she’s wearing ModestyShorts the {{Fanservice}} is unmistakable, especially when when the camera [[https://youtu.be/QgDcaKjz9ks?t=4549 zooms under her skirt at one point]] in the Mission 13 cutscene. Though in retrospect Lady’s depiction in third game was tame compared to her {{Stripperiffic}} attire in [=DMC4=] or Lady’s [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/devilmaycry/images/d/d7/Lady%27s_glorious_butt.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20190315131720 lack]] of attire in [[VideoGame/DevilMayCry5 DMC5]]

** InUniverse example comes from HandsomeLech Dante when [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dE36VMw7chw he meets the Rusalka and becomes very excited]], getting a close eyeful of their bosoms and buttocks. However Dante subtlety doesn’t let the Rusalka touch him as he gets close to their bodies and dodges their playful grabs as he’s ogling them because Dante knows they’re actually the [[AlluringAnglerfish lures of a giant frog demon]], but that doesn’t dissuade him from having a good perv.

*
''VideoGame/HyruleWarriors'': 90% of [[MsFanservice Cia's]] intro clip consists of closeups of her legs, butt, and chest.

** Mistral’s curvaceous body gets some very loving attention in ''VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance'', even the HappilyMarried Raiden has a slight reaction when Mistral drops her coat to reveal her ample bosom.

* Zero Suit Samus from ''VideoGame/{{Metroid}}'' is introduced in The Subspace Emissary, the Adventure Mode of ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Brawl'', with her dropping to the ground from an air vent followed by a slow pan from her legs to her face. Clad in a SpyCatsuit as she is, this is hardly surprising.

** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQBxNBNj3t8 introductory video]] for [[VideoGame/KidIcarus Palutena]] has close-up shots of her hip (on the side where her dress is slitted) and her chest.

** In ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil3Nemesis'' when there’s a HopeSpot with the helicopter arriving, the [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5yrr-t__8A4 camera zooms up on Jill’s bosom]].
** Happens serval times during ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil4'' like the bit where Ada climbs out of a boat and Leon’s gaze is directed at her butt or the bit when Luis notices Ashley’s “ballistics”. Lampshaded if the player has Leon use to the sniper rifle to score a PantyShot up Ashley’s skirt, this causes her to cover up and rightly call you/Leon a perv.
** Sheva's introduction in [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil5 RE5]] starts with a long closeup of her buttocks.
** Jill’s [[https://i.ytimg.com/vi/9PIpqTc8UhE/hqdefault.jpg scubasuit clad ass]] is put on display in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilRevelations'' especially when she climbs a staircase. One comic [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CBNQijzWcAAbj0H.jpg noted]] the [=3DS=] is WorthIt for this trope.
** Ada, Sherry and Helen’s butts receive special attention in [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil6 RE6]] but especially Ada’s AbsoluteCleavage and Sherry’s curves in her VapourWear outfit.

** Crystal Dynamics have stated they were specially trying to avert this in ''Videogame/{{Tomb Raider 2013}}'', to the point that they iterated on her model until people in tests were found to naturally focus on her eyes rather than her breasts. Though with that said some [[https://media.alienwarearena.com/media/d45d5ec4d69caea0ed46d7e26ab0d8fc.jpg camera angles]] overlook her cleavage, but to creators’s credit it’s more rare than previous titles.

** In [[VideoGame/DevilMayCry3 DMC3]] there’s a suspicious amount of times the camera zooms in on Lady’s [[ShesGotLegs thighs]] and her mini-skirt clad lower body in general and even if she’s wearing ModestyShorts the {{Fanservice}} is unmistakable, especially when when the camera [[https://youtu.be/QgDcaKjz9ks?t=4548 zooms under skirt at one point]] in the Mission 13 cutscene. Though in retrospect Lady’s depiction in third game was tame compared to her {{Stripperiffic}} attire in [=DMC4=] or Lady’s [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/devilmaycry/images/d/d7/Lady%27s_glorious_butt.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20190315131720 lack]] of attire in [[VideoGame/DevilMayCry5 DMC5]]

** In [[VideoGame/DevilMayCry3 DMC3]] there’s a suspicious amount of times the camera zooms in on Lady’s [[ShesGotLegs thighs]] and her mini-skirt clad lower body in general and even if she’s wearing ModestyShorts the {{Fanservice}} is unmistakable, especially when when the camera is [[https://youtu.be/QgDcaKjz9ks?t=4548 flies under skirt like at one point in the Mission 13 cutscene]]. Though in retrospect Lady’s depiction in third game was tame compared to her {{Stripperiffic}} attire in [=DMC4=] or Lady’s [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/devilmaycry/images/d/d7/Lady%27s_glorious_butt.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20190315131720 lack]] of attire in [[VideoGame/DevilMayCry5 DMC5]]

*** Lampshaded humorously if you take to the AbsurdlyLongStairway in Shrina, as Tifa whose a further up than Cloud and Barret realises her DangerouslyShortSkirt is giving the boys an eyeful. So covering her mini-skirt embarrassed Tifa demands that Cloud and Barret go ahead of her (Cloud [[CovertPervert needs more prompting]]).

** Trish’s AbsoluteCleavage gets plenty of attention in [[VideoGame/DevilMayCry DMC1]] and with the creation of JigglePhysics Trish’s breasts get even more attention in [=DMC4=] and [[http://fast1.onesite.com/capcom-unity.com/user/the_d3v/mahvell/fd895ad80342c9a7f52b6f58f5d2b8cf.gif?v=50700 especially]] ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3''.
** In [[VideoGame/DevilMayCry3 DMC3]] there’s a suspicious [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ySvOFQjvi9s amount of times]] the camera zooms in on Lady’s [[ShesGotLegs thighs]] and her mini-skirt wearing lower body in general and even if she’s wearing ModestyShorts the {{Fanservice}} is unmistakable. Especially when when the camera is angled up her skirt like at one point in the Mission 13 cutscene. Though in retrospect Lady’s depiction in third game was tame compared to her {{Stripperiffic}} attire in [=DMC4=] or Lady’s [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/devilmaycry/images/d/d7/Lady%27s_glorious_butt.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20190315131720 lack]] of attire in [[VideoGame/DevilMayCry5 DMC5]]

** During one cutscene in the original [[Videogame/ResidentEvil2 RE2]] Claire’s rear end takes up nearly half the frame.

** [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] in the [=RE2=] remake as Claire doesn’t have short shorts, though the camera still lingers around her denim clad buttocks when she’s crawling or knocked over. Played straight if you select Claire’s alternate costume which brings back the aforementioned short shorts.

* In ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry4'': As Nero approaches the drawbridge, he witnesses Gloria as she engages several mooks in combat. During the fight, she spams split-related attacks, and the camera never misses an opportunity to pan across the area between her legs.

** If you put stare long at female marine’s chest area in ''VideoGame/Halo3'' they make funny comments ranging from merely explaining why they call it a “breastplate” or literally telling you that milk isn’t coming out so there’s no point in ogling.

** In the [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil RE1]] GameCube remake there is a suspect shot of Jill’s butt during the DescendingCeiling bit.

*** Tifa also gets this in the ending FMV where she and Cloud are getting themselves up the ledge - the shot is focused on her breasts, which are also jiggling violently.

*** The original ''Final Fantasy VII'' opening cinematic begins with a closeup of Aeris's face (a significant shot that {{Bookends}} the game). The [=PS3=] tech demo remake of the ''Final Fantasy VII'' opening cinematic crops her face out of the frame in favour of looking down her top the whole time.

* ''VideoGame/HyruleWarriors'': 90% of [[MsFanservice Cia's]] intro clip consists of closeups of her legs, butt, and chest.

* ''VideoGame/MetroidOtherM'' was developed by the T-and-A-loving Creator/TeamNinja, and the game's director apparently asked them to tone down the fanservice compared to what the team wanted to do. Of course, while deconstructing the game's many, many UnfortunateImplications, many have remarked that the version that came out spent an awful lot of time focusing on Samus's SpyCatsuit-covered behind, including during dramatic scenes where Samus has been shot.

* Sheva's introduction in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil5'' starts with a long closeup of her buttocks.
* A cutscene of ''Videogame/ResidentEvilTheDarksideChronicles'' has Claire searching data, and Steve [[https://imgtc.com/i/Z4ruwOi.gif is very interested]].

** Crystal Dynamics have stated they were specially trying to avert this in ''Videogame/{{Tomb Raider 2013}}'', to the point that they iterated on her model until people in tests were found to naturally focus on her eyes rather than her breasts.

* In ''Franchise/DevilMayCry 4'': As Nero approaches the drawbridge, he witnesses Gloria as she engages several mooks in combat. During the fight, she spams split-related attacks, and the camera never misses an opportunity to pan across the area between her legs.

* A cutscene of ''Videogame/ResidentEvilTheDarksideChronicles'' has Claire searching data, and Leon [[https://imgtc.com/i/Z4ruwOi.gif is very interested]].

** Crystal Dynamics have stated they are specially trying to avert this in the 2013 Tomb Raider reboot, to the point that they iterated on her model until people in tests were found to naturally focus on her eyes rather than her breasts.

* ''Franchise/JakAndDaxter'''s Daxter takes a couple opportunities to check out his female friends' cleavage during the course of the series. [[ChivalrousPervert At least he looks them in the face first, though]].

** ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolidVThePhantomPain'' opens with the PC lying in a hospital bed; you control nothing but the head, looking around. Almost no matter what you do, you end up with a face full of nurse breast.

* The prostitute in the single-player intro part of ''VideoGame/AgeOfConan'' reacts to all [=PCs=] as if they were men.

** In ''VideoGame/DeadRising2'', Chuck and HotScoop Reporter Rebecca Chang come up against a locked door. Rebecca then bends over to pick the lock. Chuck, meanwhile, stares at her feminine curves.

* Just about everything {{Vanillaware}} does is heavily garnished with [[AuthorAppeal stuff George Kamitani likes]], and what he likes are [[BoobsAndButtPose boobs, butts,]] and buffness. ''VideoGame/DragonsCrown'' takes this trope to level that borders on parody.

** This got even worse in ''Tomb Raider Anniversary'', where the updated graphics and animation allowed the developer to do the same game except with more fanservice--as [[WebAnimation/ZeroPunctuation Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw]] notes in his review, when she comes out of the water she's realistically wet and glistening, and if you leave the game idle for a while she does these shamelessly erotic stretches.
** Any leftover modesty leaves in Underworld, where Lara dons a [[LeotardOfPower swimsuit-leotard]] for significant portions of the game.

* ''VideoGame/{{Fallout 3}}'' is a game in which the {{PC}}s sex is supposed to be determined by the player, however in many places the game subtly assumes that the PC is male; for example, friendly female {{NPC}}s are generally slightly flirtatious, whereas friendly male [=NPCs=] tend towards bluff camaraderie.

* Most likely unintentional but Midna from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'' has a rather... plump backside. It helps by the fact that she's completely naked (although [[BarbieDollAnatomy she lacks any sort of visible genitalia]]).

* In the completed yet never (officially) released US edition of ''PrincessMaker 2'', there is the infamous "nude suit" for the female heroine ''even as a young girl''.
