Look Upon Playboy's "Sexiest Game Trailer Ever" and Despair

[Mordwyl]

This insults me as much as seeing a mediocre artist become famous for drawing T&A and nothing else while talented others barely get noticed.

Do they really think we're that obsessed with sex?

Wasn't even hot, served no purpose and was a pure annoyence factor

You know, I actually thought the Playboy Bayonetta thing was quite clever. I mean, it made sense. This, however...I just don't get it. I don't see how it's interesting at all.

Thing is, I've met Playboy's videogame guy, or one of them, anyway, and he knew his stuff. Not sure whose idea this was, but it's definitely a misstep.

Damn, I kept wanting to watch the trailer, but her face kept getting in the way. If she's gonna do that, don't have her moving, for gods sake. Have her presenting it, alluringly, not being in the damn way.

very dull

I want those moments of my life back...

 

[Shamus Young]

I like to think of this a different way: Gamers are the cool people in this scenario, and Playboy is the poser trying (and failing) to fit in.

This trailer is the equivalent of an upper class white kid walking into the hood in his best Abercrombie & Fitch and a sideways baseball cap and saying "sup HOMIE?" to everyone he meets.

uuugh her ass shadow gets in the way of the movie, and the camera man keeps deciding to jump to different shots. Not in any way remotely interesting or sexy. Plus the voices of burly men doesn't help. Shes not even that good looking.

 

[StargateSG1]

At least Playboy isn't trying to make any more games. Anyone else remember "Playboy: the Mansion" on the original Xbox? Ugh.

 

[Paksenarrion]

I think this is a very accurate portrayal of what I like in my games. I like to play Harvest Moon while I force my husband to stand there and look pretty.

"Can I stop standing here? I have work to d-"
"Stop moving, I'm chopping down wood and you don't want me to miss...ah, too late."

 

[CloggedDonkey]

first the ugly Bayonetas now this. do they get that not every gamer is an 11 year old HALO player yelling about how he has had sex with your mother. just because something has boobs doesn't mean gamers will like it.

I think it will be a good thing. They did a whole issue of game girls animated nude. Now, if they could just get some girls with personality too to cosplay the game characters and not just any bimbo with a dd rack.

I'm all for the mashing of gaming and the adult industry. Lets just not let this happen again... please!

Edit: Ninjaed... i should read all the posts first.

Wrong button LAWL!

 

[CriticalGriffin]

Why does Playboy have a video game page in the first place?

 

[Newgate]

There isn't even any T&A in the game! The closest you get is one female angel who's locked in power armor. Non-revealing power armor.

And then getting the crap beat out of him for his trouble. Is Playboy getting desparate for readers they have to try to emulate Maxim? Sad...

 

[Treblaine]

when did we reach the point where it was more shameful to read playboy for the articles than the porn?

And tat video looks like all the worst parts of 90's video game journalism condensed into 2 minutes.

 

[Kuliani]

I don't think that would sell the game on anyone, other than just having them talk about like we are.

I don't mind hot women in bikinis dancing and mixing that up with gaming though; in fact, I think I prefer that. They should think a little outside the box though, cause if this is how they present themselves to video game companies, it will stop pretty quick once they refuse to pay.

 

[Pickard12]

That video preview for Darksiders was so very boring. It looked like they just got an attractive woman to elaborate on bullet points from the back of the game's box. Does this woman really have an interest in video games?
