Quite true, but it is illegal to make porn games in Japan. DoA and games like these are about as close as they can legally get.Kaamos said:

They have a fucking industry for that (pun intended). Even the only professional of notable size i know. What is not allowed is to show penetration, therefore genitals are pixelated or blanked out. Even in explicite games, that they indeed produce. Otherwise,some go to quite some (morally appalling) depth.008Zulu said:

I bet something like that happened in a Silent Hill game, or Catherine.Caramel Frappe said:
I also liked the joke showing him holding a machete, staring down the FATAL FRAME box art with an American flag sticking out of it, before saying "Carry on."Freedom153 said:
As for his top/bottom (tee hee!) list, I wonder where Batman: Arkham Knight will be.
Which is why the tentacle was invented by the Japanese porn industry. A tentacle can look like a dong, squirt gooey stuff like a dong, be inserted into orifices like a dong, but the Japanese censors will look at it and go 'yes, only tentacles here, no dongs. This passes.'K.ur said:

That is very eye opening, thankyou for sharing. Was not aware of this at all.Windknight said:
Also, younger me really liked Project Zero 2, the only installment of this series i searched for and played. But knowing their pattern now, it brings certain things to light that are disheartening. But it starts to make sense.
In other words, this game should totally be on my "Newly-acquired Wii U" wishlist... after I'm done masturbating to you masturbating...
Other than that, I laughed harder than I needed to at that last statement before the credits... *sighs* Brains...

OT:I love it when devs try to justify cheap titillation with in-lore reasons. It's like they're saying there is a power greater than them who controls what gets put in the game and what doesn't;
"And lo', the Asian pubescent girls will be clad in thin, white garments, so that they may be showered with the ghostly ectoplasm."
"B-but, Lord, that wouldn't fit with the theme or atmosphere..."
"Quiet, you prude!"
Certainly, Bloodbourne gets 'classified' as an action/adventure game. I'd also accept it being an RPG, given it's focus on level progression and item upgrading. But still, that's sort of my point - Bloodbourne has many of the same elements of any horror game I've ever played. The difference is that people feel very differently about what 'horror' actually means.Michael Prymula said:
I don't doubt that Quantum Break will be good; after all, Remedy cut their teeth on games like Max Payne, so I'm sure it will be great and I'm also sure that I'll likely enjoy it as well, because I love the studio and all of their work. But the point I am making is that AAA developers don't trust the horror genre itself and have given up on it almost entirely, which to me, is baffling.
To answer your question, the Fatal Frame camera is a shitty, old fashioned, ten pound albatross that uses rolls of film and eldritch forces that should not be meddled with. This is not something you want to put in a flashlight or else you will end up completely ruining a slumber party further down the road.
Replacing a flashlight with the camera flash... Wouldn't that basically be Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon then?
Aside from showing genitals (vaginas are frowned upon in particular) there's nothing illegal about making porn games in Japan. There's a whole industry around it. Mostly, it's dating sims that reward players with sex scenes. Visual/sound novels are common, too. Fun fact: while a big part of this industry caters to men, there are erotic games for women as well.freaper said:
Console companies (or atleast most of them) do not want that level of sexual content on their systems, so it's very much a PC genre. Some 'eroge' (as they are called) become quite popular, though, so developers sometimes create an 'all ages' version (basically the original game but without the sex scenes) to a console or handheld.
What else... Oh yeah, publishers such as JAST USA and Manga Gamer specialise in bringing Japanese erotic games over to the west. They're not in the habit of censoring explicit scenes, so if you want, you can buy yourself some translated erotic Japanese games right now.
