Microsoft Ready to Crush Kinect Porn Game

[mad825]

This isn't the first example of a technology being used in ways not intended by its manufacturer, and it won't be the last. Microsoft did not authorize or license its technology for this use.

no shit, it was done on the PC (win7).

 

[JUMBO PALACE]

Family Friendly huh? ALRIGHT Microsoft, alright.

I think the only thought to cross my mind is who really cares about what third parties do with a device. I mean Does black and Decker send out the legal guns when some spaz makes a spinning drill dildo like anyone is going to hold them against the company. I think it's the same idea behind why Nintendo just shys away from m rated games. They don't want to look anything but kid friendly.

No one cares there are sex games for kinect, side note make some good kinect games and maybe people will be to busy playing kinect instead of trying to get some virtua boob with some jerry rigged open sourceness.

If Microsoft kills the porn game will they go on on teabag the game as well?

 

[DSK-]

Chances are than any 'sex game' created with this will probably be better than the games/shovelware currently being sold for Kinect.

And that makes me laugh

THIS JUST IN! Kinect sales have gone down by about 75%. In other news. Landfills are filling up with microsofts kinect. Our final story tonight, gamestop has gone out of business...

OT: oh well, i have a girlfriend.... and a life.... so theres that. and, i wasnt gunna get a kinect anyway.

Microsoft responded to ThriXXX's demo and other Kinect porn games in a statement that reads: "This isn't the first example of a technology being used in ways not intended by its manufacturer, and it won't be the last. Microsoft did not authorize or license its technology for this use. Xbox is a family friendly games and entertainment console and does not allow Adults Only (AO) content to be certified for use on its platform, and would not condone this type of game for Kinect."

In regards to the bolded bit (and this is directed at Microsoft):

Family friendly, huh? Meaning your your games can be played by anyone of any age? BULLSHIT! You can claim casual gamer status all you want Microsoft, but I have three titles that will blow the "family friendly" argument clear out of the water: Halo 3, Gear of War 2, Dead Rising. Seriously, you're going the same route as Nintendo by abandoning your core demographic in favor of people who before now couldn't be arsed to even look at a game console, much less play one, and this is not a good road for you since you don't happen to have the safety net of Shigeru Miyamoto to keep our respect.

[sub]Forgive me if I seem a touch more venomous than usual. I just lost an eBay aution on an antique Griswold pan, so I'm not happy, and this is just adding to my bad mood.[/sub]

I concur fully with your positively valid expression of discontent!

"Family Friendly" is what has spurred me away from Nintendo, and Microsoft is already nauseating me with its waning attention towards expansion of unique IPs and tunnel-vision pandering towards those who are too lazy to join a gym or want a $3-400 piece of hardware to play games better suited to cell phones. And if you notice, Microsoft has been changing stripes, what with the stagnation of maintaining primarily the few IPs and little else but diving into the Kinexploitation of "casual" markets.

I find it disheartening to witness this "Family Friendly (FF)" prioritization that attempts to hide the latent, mature 360 content that already exists by burying what I would call the "Real games" that made me personally want a 360 in the first place. To exemplify this, Microsoft has thus far illustrated one use for the Kinect, and by extension the Xbox 360, this Holiday Season: The hardware in question is really a Wii Fit come too late. It is a shallow "As Seen On TV!" device on par with the Ab Lounge/Circle/Luxury Recliner...

Hypocrisy aside[footnote]Gears of War 3 has, amongst other things, animations to beat an enemy to death with their own limb or stab them in the stomach with a flamethrower and incinerate them from the inside. That type of (awesome) actually has to have a restraining order from the phrase "Family Friendly."[/footnote], the sex game in question just seems rather pointless and a bit disturbing; what can possibly be gained by feeling up the air?!? With the sentiments above, though, I suppose anything, anything Mature is almost, almost refreshing. But what do I find particularly amusing? Mature content or not, Kinect still is not being used for an action-driven "Real Game" more like Gears of War.

And now that I keep rambling, this gets me thinking: Kinect Chainsaw duels? [sub]But more likely we will first see Kinect Air Guitar...[/sub]

"pulls out and opens his black book" Microsoft. "There we go "

Seriously though, cmon Microsoft, what happened? You used to be cool :\

 

[MatsVS]

Gee, an american company that is utterly, completely and wholly hypo-fucking-critical in regards to sex contra violence in any form of media. What a shocker! "Family values". What a joke. Thanks for making me, once again, vomit in my mouth, america.

"Xbox is a family friendly games and entertainment console and does not allow Adults Only (AO) content to be certified for use on its platform, and would not condone this type of game for Kinect."

Does anybody remember BMX XXX? :'D
Because that sure as hell seemed pretty adults only to me lol

 

[Reaper195]

Adult game maker ThriXXX recently unveiled the demo for a Kinect porn game interface that it hopes to include in future PC games.

"...Xbox is a family friendly games and entertainment console and does not allow Adults Only (AO) content to be certified for use on its platform, and would not condone this type of game for Kinect."

So...did Microsoft miss the part where it was made for PC and not the actual 360 using the actual Kinect?

 

[Baresark]

People fail to understand the way a market/black market system works. When something is prohibited on a market and there is a demand for it, then the black market will fill that consumer need. This is any society with stringent rules.

It probably will lead to a whole new kind of piracy... piracy with rampant amounts of autoerotic material.... Ewwww....

Anyway, they can either accept that it's going to happen and then do their best to work it in their favor, or fight it tooth and nail and let the market handle the big boy work.

Looks like this is going to PC. Though I don't see how groping the air would be worth $150 when porn games you can play by mouse are pretty much free.

 

[BlueGlowstick]

Ok so Microsoft are trying to stop people from having porn games on Kinect...

What about Nintendo & their vibrating controllers for the Wii??

 

[Zero=Interrupt]

Guess they don't want to the porn industry to do for Xboxes what they did for VHS tapes, eh?

Meanwhile, at Sony:

"MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! We already have H-games in the works! Suck it, you repressed linguini-spined prudes!"
