BMXXX

If it wasn’t August, this would have to be an April Fools. According to this Gamespot story, Acclaim are releasing a game called BMX XXX, which they are boasting as the first “M-rated action sports game”. What that means is there is swearing, FMV strippers, and topless riders in the game. It’s worse than it sounds - one of the features is a rider designer:

“This is also the mode that lets you create a topless female rider. You’ll even be able to control breast size with a slider”
This is very sad, and incredibly gratuitous. The game used to have Dave Mirra’s name associated with it, but no longer - hopefully he pulled his approval due to the dodgy nature of the game itself. The recent Australian censorship review is looking at R ratings for gaming, but if this is the kind of dross that will be the result, we’d be better off without it.

Wow that’s a new low. Even worse than that stupid volleyball game coming out.

Well that’s life I guess, try to encourage mature content and get infantile.

Someone to put on your list with Pete, I think, Allie.

;)

Do we have a release date on that volleyball game yet?

You mean the DOA volleyball game?

Yes I do. While I’m sure the volleyball aspect will be good, the fact tht it is scantily clad women only is a dubious concept at best. That’s of course an opinion, but when your selling point for a volleyball sim is bikinis well you’ve got to examine yourself. And don’t try pull the “women do play in bikinis” line. This game is hardly trying to be faithfull to the women’s sport.

;)

BMXXX sounds like it will have the same BMX action is previous titles, but it’s concept is pathetic not mature.

How can our industry hope to be taken seriously when this is the result of ‘mature’ content?

It’ sad. but really you guys what did you expect?. The first thing humans do is try and make as much money as they possibly can out of ANYTHING!, and that means attracting the lowest possible denominator.

Sure they could make great games filled with Mature adult content. But really when the white collar guru’s nestle in their armani’s trying to figure how to make a game or “product” as they call it pay in as many ways as possible, I’m afraid tits and bums win hands down.
So who’s for some Immature Adult content?

though i kinda like the idea of scaleable boobies.

im not even sure this game will have good gameplay… Itagaki said he didnt want a 4 player mode because the camera would have to be zoomed out to far, he wants people to play it alone and feel close to the characters.

the sad thing is all those “mature” gamers out there will probably buy this game and other companies will try start making these kind of games…

well atleast its only on xbox i guess ;)
