Cheap T and A is lame in movies, television, comics and its lame in video games. I mean most of us already know what breasts, buttocks, vaginas, testicles and peniss, look like.

It depends... If it serves a purpose within the story, yes, but if it's being done just to get more sales, or some strange fan-service thing, no.

I do not think there should be a point in any game's development where the team goes "Hmm... Maybe we should add some naked tits or something..."

If there's nudity in the story then it can be in the game, but there is nothing wrong with keeping it hidden by convenient camera angles. This is a pretty common practice and it works just fine. A lot of things could be approved with more nudity, but if you a game developer is going to focus a lot of time, thought, and effort into adding naked characters that suggests to me the game is not a very substantial one...

If I want to see T&A, there´s my porn collection :D Gaming is something completely different.
But what about, instead of trying to cram nudity in current games, make new games based on nudity? A pick-up-artist MMORPG or a "The Movies:Gonzo Porn edition". Just kidding ;)

Considering all the negative attention games are still getting from the press these days, especially when the claims are unjustified or grossly exaggerated, I don't think more nudity in games is a good idea.

Nude characters are more aerodynamic meaning they can run faster and dodge bullets John Woo style. Also, nothing says "Don't mess with me because I'm a bad ass" like walking into a room naked with total confidence. That's the sort of thing people want from their space marine idols.

Sometimes the nudity in games is just gratuitous and unneeded.

God of war come to mind. The Oracle could have been clothed, but they made her topless.
Well you must not be familiar with Greek Mythology is general, just about everyone was naked then.

You are clearly playing the wrong games.

I mean, um, only add more if there is cause for the story to have it. Yea, that's what I meant.

Why am I the only one who voted all male nudity? I've never felt more alienated.

Anyway, it's a satirical post to a point, but at the off-chance it's not, if it serves no other purpose than easy porn for sweaty twelve year old pocket miners then no thank you.

This.

And there should only be nudity if it can be introduced without making it the center-point for the cutscene or whatnot, and if it can flow with the game and make sense in it.

Then of course there are all the prudes/immatures who have a hard time looking at the human body, and think it's something disgusting if it's not theirs or their spouses.

There's porn for jerking off/foreplay, and there are games and movies, made for entertainment other than sex.
Name one movie that hasn't turned me on and you win.

If you don't see what nudity adds then you haven't played any of the great games.

Question: Would people have played Pac-Man if he weren't nude?
Answer: No.

Escapist, you disappoint me... 38 comments and not a single mention to RapeLay or the Japanese in general...


On topic: I'm in favor of games including nudity IF it's relevant. Just for the sake of including it, however, what's the point? There's free porn on the internet...

What if the story is about a woman who needs to save the world from aliens and the cure is in her clothing so she has to take it all off and deliver it to scientists?




By the way, I'm working on that game already.
