AO rated PS3 game?

[mikejet]

Will there ever be one?

Most PS3 owners are of adult age and I think the industry could put out a AO rated game. I mean you can see more in a rated R movie than you can in a video game and that's still because people think video games are for kids/teens. Well I'm and adult and a gamer and I want more mature stories and more mature content.

I know certain retailers said they would not stock a game if it were rated AO well screw them. I want more mature games.

Maybe there will be a BMX XXX or a Conker's Bad Fur Day sequel released on the PS3 released in the future, but I seriously doubt it.

As I recall, there was a lot of backlash to those.

What's interesting is it wasn't "that long ago" [it makes me feel old to realize this ] that M games really weren't being sold at some retailers.

Alas, now we are in the age of "Rated M for Marketing".

Although, I don't really see the retailers changing so much in that regards [as a sidenote, Hastings is one of the few chains that doesn't care if a title is AO].

Do you really think Playstation...i.e. "Sony"...would allow adult titles to be distributed for use on the PS3...

I mean having the PS3 logo on a title that is for "adult audiences"?

I don't think they will! I could be wrong.

I seriously doubt it, it's hard enough to get through SCEA when submitting a normal game (i.e. E, T,), but an A.O. title would be scrutinized to the point that SCEA would never let it pass. I remember when I worked at EA, some of SCEA's standards are so ridiculous that games were getting bounced for some of the most asinine reasons.

I really doubt it. I could count the number of AO games that have been released thus far on one hand. No need to start making them now. Especially since some govenrments would ban the game.

HAHAHAHAHA that was the funniest game ever. It was so corny. My friends and I would hang out at whoever had the game's house to see

Well, Sega used to allow pornographic dating sims on the Saturn and Dreamcast in Japan, naturally none of them ever came out here. I think the console makers are just following Nintendo's lead in trying to appear to be as kid-friendly as possible so parents aren't afraid of picking one up for their kids. I'm not sure that even the PS3 has a majority adult market share.

Btw, MS started out the 360 marketing in Japan by pandering to the otaku market with more risque titles (Kotaku delighted in covering MS's early marketing in Japan). Yes, Idolmaster counts. There's even a cleaned up hentai game that came out for the PS3 first, Record of Agarast War, that was slightly naughtier in the 360 port.

And for the record, some of those hentai dating sims were still considered fairly good games even after they were cleaned up for release on the PS2. I'd love to play Air some day, what I've seen of the anime is incredible.

I think Idolmaster is quite possibly the creepiest 360 game I have ever seen. Loli sexual-abuse sim, sells amazingly well though, the PSP editions are going to do very well...

I really never understood why the human body was labelled 'bad'.
We were born naked, were we not?

I'm going to start boycotting clothes

NO, SCEA doesn't allow AO games, and Most retailers also do not allow AO games to be on shelves, so No.
