Nudity in Games...

[tokim021]

Yes... Games are maturing... I heard there was a DOA Volleyball game with a topless mode and some biking game with nudity... What do you think of games with nude contents? I think it should be added to give "depth" to the game and only when "necessary" but the future of games with nudity might affect the younger gamers (like me 14) to have an disadvantage... (I mean, parents dont favor gaming in teh first place... games with nudity?) Yea... what you guys think?

I think that it is ok as long as you have a button where you can switch the clothes on or off. So if you are horny (Usually all 14 year olds are) turn it off when your parents are not home.

Well i dont really care if there nudity or not in games.It might help sell more games to adults,but it also might have an effect on todays youth.But i bet when games like doa extreme volleyball and dave miras XXX the goverment will be all the developers and game industry again similar to the violence issue.But nudity in game in my eyes is less harmful then violence.

[AudioBoxer]

hey what about dave miras XXX never heard of it what is it??

The FCC (an appointed body, not an elected one) is the only reason (that and some baptist minister from the south) that censorships in radio and television oriented media was implemented in the first place.

Ratings are fine, but keeping things such as nudity, profanity, and violence out of completely video games (even ridiculous immature ones like topless volleyball and BMX bicycling or whatever) is against the whole FREE SPEECH thing in the constitution. It might not be to your tastes, but PERSONAL TASTES do not translate into right or wrong.

The only people complaining about even this are either kids whining because they can't get them yet, lazy parents who don't want to be bothered with learning what the hell the ratings system is, and zealoutrous, fundamentalist organizations ("Southern" church organizations, NOW) who want to force thier ways of life on everyone else. These people are not the majority, and I say props to the companies making these games for spitting in these organizations' faces.

yeah but if you think about it, it is your problem if you buy it or not, your choice. I baught State Of Emergency for my littkle cousin who is 11 now and I didnt realize what stuff and how bad it was until I watched him playing it. Like alot of games have ID warnings on them now so you have to have id to purchase. Which they dont even enforce. I think that they should put the rating bigger on the cover if the case then if it is Teen or bigger they should have a adult purchase the game for them. I heard that sony is also coming out with like 4 religious games for churches so that they can play them during sunday school or something. So if you think about it, that it is your own choice!!!

I definately would not have a problem with it :laugh:

But seriously I think if it was done in good taste then it would be fine...if your allowed to decapitate people or get with a hooker while watching your car jumip without hydrolix then nudity is nothing, as long as they implement something that will warn parents before purchasing the game then I'm not against it

Its a bmx game that is being developed for ps2 and xbox that is spose to break the rules of gaming in a sort.Nudity, swearing,etc.

[BlackThornn]

How 'bout a big bubble on the cover that says "WARNING!! POSSIBLE BOOBIES!!" for the less attentive parents out there??

Nah.. some of these twits will probably say it's too subtle.

[Cannibal Clown]

I am a 17 year old male, i have no problem with nudity in games. not saying that it's good for todays youth, but i'd be lying if i said that i'm not looking forward to games with flashy breasts showing off their glammor as i work my fingers to the smoothly curved and rounded controls.

[Mistah Big]

Look, all you do is put on there, "Nudity" under the rating of the game. And if the Rents don't notice it, then it's their fault for not being good parents plain and simple.

[IcyMourdor]

Come on. Do we really need to have nudity in games? No. I can see how people would like it, but many restrictions will be placed on them. Retailers will have to enforce the 18+ rule so they are able to sell them. Keeping them out of kids hands are impossible. The only way I see this working is that there is an online store and which a credit card purchase must be made. The cardholder must already be 18. If a kid gets the card, it appears on the statement anyways, so punishment will come sooner or later.

I, personally, will just keep playing the games I enjoy playing. The story is important to me, not how many different women show their breasts on the screen. How sad can players be?

You may have a point but also if this does go all well some developers might beable to use it to make more realistic.Adding nudity to situations to make the game feel more lifelike in a sense

[BlackThornn]

If you don't like nudity or any mature theme in a game, don't get it. Don't let your kids get it. "Kids will get thier hands on these games".. Yah, sure. Kids get thier hands on playboys, too. It's natural, there's nothing wrong with it except to uptight pricks or religious fundamentalists, and they do not have the right to tell the REST of the United States what to do with thier console.

It's called freedom of speech and freedom of expression, people. You don't have to like it, but you have to support it. If not, get da f*** outta the country. Those FCC people did something UNCONSTITUTIONAL when they turned television and radio media into nothing but censored bull****, just because nobody but the intelligent minority of the time apparently really spoke out against it doesn't mean it gets to stay that way forever.

[AudioBoxer]

LOL I know what Dave Mirria is I BMX. I was just saying whats up with the new one...






I mean wow there is a tit big wooopie dooo, no big deal not like you have never seen a tit before. Make the rating big on the front and there it is the Parents fault if their kids buy it

Yeah what black thornn says make a lot of sense.We dont seem to have all that freedon of expression that it says in our consititution.I mean things like nudity arent even in big issue in some country's but if theres going to be nudity in game here or what out.Makes no sense to me.

[IcyMourdor]

Yes, we have those freedoms, but we also shot ourselves in the foot when we gave the right to freedom of religion. They have a right to voice out against anything that goes against their "god's will". If the gov't doesn't do anything about it, then they are dening their constitutional rights. Its a lose-lose situation.

[BlackThornn]

I propose an amendment to the constitution:

Freedom of Religion; As long as you leave everyone ELSE The HELL ALONE!

[RobHardo]

there's nothin wrong with nudity, it's not liek nudity is offensive except if a male were runnin around naked, haha that would be fricken gross

[BlackThornn]

Hey, there's guys perfecting "jiggle" technology.. *shrugs* Just gotta find some female programmers? I have no problem with it regardless, I'll just let out a high-pitched scream and avert my eyes.

Being opposed to one kinda nudity and not another takes the flame out of an argument. Nudity is natural, pricks, jealous people, and religious zealots made it otherwise, that's it.

[Spank-A-Thon]

There was a game some years ago for the Sinclair ZX Spectrum computer that had nudity in it - however, the name of the game escapes me right now.

Basically it was a platform style game that had topless faeries in it. Now given how non-photographic Spectrum graphics were, I still chuckle at the fuss that was kicked up at the time.

Nudity is never needed in a game, or a film for that matter (well, unless it's a skin flick!), but that does not mean I don't enjoy it! Hell, the only redeeming feature of Res Evil: The movie was Milla Jovovich showing her nips and flashing her beaver...

Anyway, I digress...

It's hard to say whether nudity belongs in games due to there not excactly being an abundance of it in previous games.

To be honest, the idea of DOA Volleyball having a 'topless' mode sounds like it would be of immense comedic value more than anything - I can see myself and my mates, full of beer, pissing ourselves with laughter while playing it!

Nudity in games? Ah, why not? Can't hurt to see another pair of boobies to add to my repetoire! :P

Always count on good old spanky to bring order back to a thread. Great viewpoint you have on the issue. Honets and straigt forward. I like that in a poster.

I agree completely.

[BlackThornn]

I think I remember the game with the topless faeries.... O_o *chuckles*

Anyway, I kinda agree that nudity is never needed unless it's a skin flick, but it never actually harms a flick except in certain Cinemax and Showtime cases. Of course most of the time those cases the entire show is BASED around nudity, but hey.


..I also whole heartedly agree about resident evil. :D

In the end it's up to personal taste, but it should NOT be a factor that is either ridiculously rare or outlawed. People should have the option.


... I wonder if DoaXV is gonna have a breast bump or some silly move like that?? *chuckles* It's gonna be hilarious.

[Killuminati]

another game that had nudity was Duke Nukem 3D. u got to go in a stripclub and if u walked up to a stripper and pressed the space bar u handed em money and they flashed ya. i was like 9 when i discovered this lol. Nudity is not necessary in games. but can be used tastefully its just that those damn groups Thornn mentioned want to shut down everything good.

[Macceh^]

If done properly and proffesionaly nudity in games can help develop a certain character or plot.

Although alot of the time its used as a cheap marketing technique and its done badly, like its there just for the sake of it.

[tokim021]

since this is my thread, I should put some of my own impressions... I think adding nudity for the sole purpose of marketing is morally wrong. I mean how many volley ball games were there anyway? But taking a game like mgs2, and adding a little more "depth" to it might make the game much more "suitable" for adults. Take Dave Mira's new bmx game, you do missions to unlock clips of strippers... there is already plenty of porn on the internet, being "shared" through kazaa etc... I think it would be just like a movie, a sole purpose of pleasing horny audiences- porn, or else a great movie featuring some sort of love and sex relationship... Not that I'm opposing it, but games can still be great w/o nudity...
