"Sexual content in games?"

This is perhaps the touchiest subject of all in the gaming world, however it has been the topic of conversation on many websites and magazines over the past couple of years. As the years pass by, and technology progresses, reality becomes further and further involved in gaming. However, how long will it take before things become a little 'too lifelike' in our modern day gaming world.

In Japan, they already have published games revolving around sex and such matter with ludicrous detail and I ask how long will it be before they're shipped over here.

At the moment, the closest me come to seeing beautiful women on screen are in games such as 007 James bond- Agent under fire. Our age restrictions on games are fare these day's but that doesn't stop youngsters being able to purchase games such as GTA3 under-age. So how long will it take before these women are exploited in such a way that the women will be real and it will just be filmed as an FMV sequence. And poor innocent little Joey asks" Mom, what do you call that thing?"

How long will it take, it only takes a short look at the uncivilized Japanese market that it becomes dauntingly clear and frighteningly closer.

I apologise if this upsets any viewers but I feel it is a genre to be addressed and to have action taken to stop such forcoming games.

Why not put sexual content in games? On one hand, if it adds to the game in some way (realism, or whatever - like the prostitutes in GTA3), it could provide a more immersive game. I'm not talking about titillation here, just life in general. Sexual content is all around us in real life, so why not in games? Maybe it would put another nail in the coffin for the 'gaming is for kids' perception still held by certain members of the non gaming public. I think the main reason why it hasn't occured more, is that sexual content just doesn't transfer to games very well. Whereas something like violence does.

On the other hand, if someone wants to produce software just for titillation, then why not? It could certainly make for some interesting new gameplay aspects. Bemani anyone?

-Alright, first of all let me tell you, we don`t have "viewers" we have listeners...

-Anyway, as I was saying... I`d like to tell your viewers....

-LISTENERS!!!

Ever listen to Chatterbox FM?

Its got nothing to do with your post, but what you said reminded me of it. Ah well.

Also DMC has a naughty pic in the intro, I just spotted it today and I've had the game for almost two months now.

I remember very well the hilarity of playing Half Life with naked women characters and this kind of thing should definitely be included in PS2 games. If the game is an 18 they should put some pixellated nudity in, just for the hell of it.

Or an actual woman

O....k....

Now dont get me wrong, i like the games like DOA 2 that are known for their women characters and all, but have sexual content in games seem a little...strange. I mean, its only really used in films to produce a bit of interest, i mean more men will go to see a film where a good looking woman will get her kit off than one that wont. But having some polygons and stuff on your computer taking there kit off seems darn strange and pointless over all to me.

If you want to see women get there kit of regular on your tv get an X-rated movie.
