The trailer of upcoming PS3 game Heavy Rain shows off some blatant nipple action, prompting many to wonder just how the pervasive Sony check is supposed to work…
Reminds me quite a bit of a graphics improved Indigo Prophecy, which was basically a giant quick time event movie but it was not bad like the majority of games that include quick time events these days. We'll have to see how this one turns out.
The Saboteur has nipples too. For free in the PC version but, as expected, they're milking it on the consoles and making it DLC just so you can see nipples and get a couple of "burlesque" dances.
Hm...so....check_fail? Good, let the ratings reflect content, and get lazy parents off their ass and actually investigating what games their kids wanna buy.
I guess some people will enjoy this sort of gameplay. And let's not forget the pubescent teenagers who'll start to salivate uncontrollably at the thought of nipples in a game.
its time sex and nudity was excepted in games, whats the big deal, its far less offensive than extreme violence yet me tolerate that, this world is fucked up
"oh yeah let's not censor killing civilians in GTA, oh man!! BREASTS!! CENSOR IT!".
Mind you, I don't care about neither in games and actually am glad that violence can still be seen in video games, but when extreme violence is approved over simple nudity, there's something wrong in the world for sure.
All that's left is actually getting the parents of them kids to follow the rating on the box.
You are going to pay $60.00 dollars to just sit and press left and right arrows? And sometimes up and down? I don't think so! Not even nudity will save it!
So, it's a 2009 version of "A Fork in the Road" with better quality high-res QT filmlets, where a player makes the selection of which filmlet to watch by pressing the correct buttons when prompted onscreen...next please...:P
From the comments here, looks like a lot of ppl are not looking forward to this game at all. This game is a lost genre - adventure game, probably like Policenauts and Snatchers, you read text, watch anime, do some detective stuff here & there which will alter the next anime and outcome. While FPS is "the" game type nowadays, "no guns no fun", I can understand why this adventure game's sales may not beat any FPS sequal. Someone said here "America ok violence but not sex", it is funny how it is reversed in European tv and movies.
I loved Indigo Prophecy. I am looking forward to this game too. I hope it is like Indigo. Even though it was slow paced a lot of the time, the story kept me going. As for "family friendliness", I think that is a bunch of BS. I'm sick of these companies going family friendly. They shouldn't have to. If parents can't monitor the games their kids play then they don't need to own any kind of game console.
It's already been confirmed that the American version will be censored, this trailer is for the PAL (Europe, Australia etc.) game. The same thing happened to Indigo Prophecy/Fahrenheit on PS2. America missed out on nudity and the handful of crappy sex scenes.
Why are American's so afraid of nude when they love killing and blood?
The phrase "make love not war" goes the other way around for them. They are strong believers of "make war not love".
It's obvious that Kratos will have his nipples exposed but who knows about Dante. I hope you meant girls? Oh snap! there better be female titties in those games.
Aside from the character map movement controls, this game is as you have said a game consisting of nothing but Quick Time Events from all the gameplay footage they've released so far. Unless they release another gameplay vid that defies that assessment, it'll probably be an entire game with nothing but QTEs.
Wow it's JUST nipples! If it was so forbidden to see nipples then why throw them in ads about deodorant? Fucking hypocrites...
@CJ
If you've seen the movie "Avatar" by James Cameron, then you might get an idea about why this game is probably going to be revolutionary (Well not revolutionary, but something close to that!).
Think about it: Instead of watching the film progress on a linear based path which you have absolute no control over and when you know whats coming around every corner after watching the movie once, this game gives you every possibility of making the movie controllable, changeable, and so much re-playable, it's just something you're able to do.
lol you obviously never bought anything of chinese make. They're the worse kind, because theres no regulations there. The shit you get in the US is of much higher quality, and you've got only your capitalist system to thank for that. Stop being such an ungreatful prick.
Ever play Fahrenheit, or Indigo Prophecy as it's known in the U.S. I believe this is by the same creators. It's basically a game that plays like a movie with quick time events that decide the characters actions. Fahrenheit played surprisingly well.
If it's the same guys am buying it. Fahrenheit was amazing. It's the first time that i felt i wan on a movie world that was so real but at the same time i was playing and not just watching. They combine it perfectly.
Should be ok.. there's no sex or any genetals showing. And Sony shouldn't have done such checks in the first place
This game is basically to movies what visual novels are to books.
Looking forward to this one. Indigo was a great game.
Sony's check is money based. The more money you give them, the less they check.

if this thing will be allowed by sony, than why the hell ihaven't seen any Galge in PS3 yet?
Hell even white album still doesn't have release date.
The Saboteur has nipples too. For free in the PC version but, as expected, they're milking it on the consoles and making it DLC just so you can see nipples and get a couple of "burlesque" dances.
Tying your bosses tie was EPIC! The new era in tie-tying simulation is here! Move over Salaryman 5!

I'm not a teen, yet I salivate where ever nipples may appear.
Do not want! thought it was a man with tits.
You havent seen many women naked if any. They come in all shapes and sizes tard.
The posted pic is of such horrible quality, so that makes people so "confused".
its time sex and nudity was excepted in games, whats the big deal, its far less offensive than extreme violence yet me tolerate that, this world is fucked up
Got to agree with that
"oh yeah let's not censor killing civilians in GTA, oh man!! BREASTS!! CENSOR IT!".

SHAUUUNNNN!
Quantic Dream sold out to Sony. No PC version? Damn them!
HAHA!! this is polish! i know 'couse i'm polish so i understand every bit of speech ;]
so proud *sniff* ;DD
You are going to pay $60.00 dollars to just sit and press left and right arrows? And sometimes up and down? I don't think so! Not even nudity will save it!
This game is gonna have an amazing story nothing linear like that FFXIII.
How is that different from every other game? Plus you also press L1, L2, L3, R1, R2, R3, square, triangle, circle and cross
So, it's a 2009 version of "A Fork in the Road" with better quality high-res QT filmlets, where a player makes the selection of which filmlet to watch by pressing the correct buttons when prompted onscreen...next please...:P
Oh no nipples. As if Saboteur didn't already accomplished that when they put in a strip club.
On the plus side she has some nice breasts.

Author's article is an epic fail.
It passed the Sony check because its a western game. If it was a japanese game they would censor it.
It's already been confirmed that the American version will be censored, this trailer is for the PAL (Europe, Australia etc.) game. The same thing happened to Indigo Prophecy/Fahrenheit on PS2. America missed out on nudity and the handful of crappy sex scenes.
Why are American's so afraid of nude when they love killing and blood?
The phrase "make love not war" goes the other way around for them. They are strong believers of "make war not love".
Oh that's easy! We say that we don't like nekkidness, and then our hands are in our pants or skirts when you're not looking!
Much like our stance on war, it's called 'having your cake and eating it too.'
Actually, it's been confirmed that the American version will NOT be censored.
Maybe Sony has realized that seeing a woman's nips doesn't destroy one's moral fiber? Naaaah.
Reminds me of Dating Sim gameplay.
I seriously thought those were pictures of a naked man when I saw them quickly.

Seriously, If I didn't know it was a woman...
Shoulders are too wide... even wider than the hips... it's a man with a boobjob..
yay titties
from what I remember, farenheit had a sex scene, no wonder they wanna improve it with the sixasis and the graphics
Let's see if they can pull a sixty-nine with the six-axis, on this one...
Nipples? On my PS3? Well I be damned.
Uh, Dante's Inferno demo has nipples, and God of War 3 probably will too.
It's obvious that Kratos will have his nipples exposed but who knows about Dante. I hope you meant girls? Oh snap! there better be female titties in those games.
aye , Dante's inferno got giant Cleopatra's bosom from which dead babies crawl and naked women with bladed penises .
Well Cleopatra's also ginormous, so at least the giantess fetish will be catered to.
Also, said babies are the dead souls of unbaptized newborns.
D:
QTE... this might ruins a nice idea for a game...
Poster above obviously never heard touched Indigo Prophecy.
yes fahrenheit was really a brilliant game, its good to see this 'genre' of movie-games explored again
i dont know why the praise on this game at all
it looks quite amazing, but, is this a game, or the evolution of movies were the spectators gets to choose the next available action?
And i can see there will be a lot of "waggle" on this game. "Wiihaters ps3 only owners" wont like this much at all
As long as the next action means "sex" I'm sold.
I'm afraid I have some bad news...
WHAT??? No SEX ??? That's a HUGE waste !!! Can we at least made a mod for it, like in Oblivion ???
Meh,just nipple action.
WE NEED SEX MORE HARDCORE SEX.
It looks like one big quick time event.
Aside from the character map movement controls, this game is as you have said a game consisting of nothing but Quick Time Events from all the gameplay footage they've released so far. Unless they release another gameplay vid that defies that assessment, it'll probably be an entire game with nothing but QTEs.
i wish she's not bald...
I disagree with you! some women look amazing with no hair!! Natalie Portman looked fucking awesome bald, it makes them look badass not moe!
I know, right? She would look so much better! lol
Wow it's JUST nipples! If it was so forbidden to see nipples then why throw them in ads about deodorant? Fucking hypocrites...

Title had me lol'ng for a bit.
Also, in America, Violence is good, sex is bad.
The analogs can now finally fulfill it's true purpose!!!
You're actually mistaken, that's actually how the game play is lol.
this trailer didn't show me anything about the game, but it had some bitchin music.
It doesn't seem so impressive to me at all, either. Besides, if it's not Asian make, I have little faith in it to begin with.
There are many great games that come from European studios. Keep an open mind =)
Considering that a good chunk of great games are not "asian make", you must have a very narrow sense of taste.
Asian made games are better. Period, why don't you go play a shooter or something?
No faith because it's not made in Asia?
Weeaboo detected.
lol you obviously never bought anything of chinese make. They're the worse kind, because theres no regulations there. The shit you get in the US is of much higher quality, and you've got only your capitalist system to thank for that. Stop being such an ungreatful prick.

It's by the same people, Quantic Dream. Heavy Rain's supposed to be like a spiritual sequel of Fahrenheit.
