French developer Quantic Dream, the studio behind the upcoming Heavy Rain, has spoken at length about sexes in game and the difference between sexual relations and porn. Sexy! "There are a couple [of sex scenes], but it's definitely not porn," Quantic Dream boss David Cage told PSM3. "We don't intend to push the boundaries and be ultra-realistic in every detail. It's about real characters having emotions and doing what adults do when they fall in love.

The studio is making an adult game. Adult movies have nudity. They also have sex. Not all of them, though. Unfortunately.

Sex and nudity are a part of life. And if the studio is going to depict the real world for adults, then maybe its characters will take off their clothes. Maybe they'll fall in love. Maybe they'll have sex. And that's okay.

The game has already sparked a dialogue about the key difference between sex and sexy.

I'm pretty sure some of the gaming news team are too young to report on this game :rofl:

what? ... mass effect was porn because they showed what everyone does in real life (i did it with the alien cause i am sick of human girls)

but, depicting daily routines in a game suddenly is labeled as porn ... wtf is wrong with people today (mainly old politicians and over zealous retards running for politicians)

i say, let it be man, this is what makes us think, i would be getting this game just for that, see pixels on a screen giving off the illusion of a woman in underwear (as if i don't see that enough downtown)

I've yet to understand what the gameplay of the game is going to be like. What exactly is it? Is it going to be a puzzle game? If so, is it going to be a 3rd person game or a First Person game? o__o

The fact that he even needed to come out and mention this is unfortunate. If it were a movie with the exact same storyline and events taking place, nobody would bat an eyelash at it.

That said, this game is definitely going into some rarely (if ever) explored territory as far as games are concerned. I've been interested in this one for a couple weeks now (after looking through the other thread), and I'll be buying this just to support the developer. I'd love to see this game succeed, since it'll show other people in the industry that games with mature themes can succeed.

a game with hot chicks in it does not need some crazy gameplay

also if you misspell chicks as chiks and the right click on it in firefox you get some asian racist word, cool

Yeah, but what exactly is the player going to be doing the whole game? Because I've yet to see how the gameplay will be.

The best way to describe it is... 'cinematic'



trailer + 10 min gameplay

I think it's because you'll get a shock when you see how this game approaches things.

It's a game about a fathers love for his Son, and a serial killer who's kidnapping and killing children. Not a gun toating Space Marine trying to save the world who consequently gets some booty on the side.

It'll be well and truly a definition of an adult game, not a game labelled an "adult game" because you can fire guns, kill people and see some boobs.

They come nearer to release.

Not really, I think they're just prepping people for one of the first games in our industry that can be taken seriously as a "movie like"/"adult experience", without FoxNews calling the PS3 the "Porno Box for Children".

The game passed with a 15 rating in the UK, a 15. It's going uncut in America as well, when it comes to nudity/sex as graphical as Heavy Rain seems to be, these things don't normally happen unless there's a reason... that reason being it's obviously tasteful and applicable, again like above not just Space Ranger Bob banging a random chick cause you choose option Y.
