God of War sex scene set to reignite media attacks?

With one maiden on all-fours and the other openly topless, the game camera moves away from the ensuing 'action,' focusing on a nearby candle that rocks and shakes as the player performs button prompts and analogue stick movements to govern the impact of each suggested thrust being experienced by the young women.

To make matters worse, the game's audio builds to a crescendo of orgasmic moans should the player time their button presses and stick swirls correctly. Then, once spent, the camera moves back to Kratos who, without even leaving his mobile number, is free to continue with his quest -- or engage in another session of fleshy entanglement should the player so desire.

Of course, beyond a revealed breast, nothing remotely sexual can actually be seen during the gameplay clip, but, given the current climate where sex and videogames is concerned, it's difficult to imagine media sources choosing to ignore the temptation to once again pillory a high-profile release.

It was inevitable. I was getting this game the moment it came out, now it just made the dayone list.

sonarus5929d ago

wtf not GOW. Imagine if they scared GOW to take out the nudity and all the sexual scenes i hope they are too busy with other news to pay attention to gamers since they jst seem to pop in when they feel like. Nudity and stuff are crucial elements in the GOW franchise

Cwalat5928d ago

who gives a crap about the media attacks against gaming ?

its just pointless and they know it themselves.

TheHater5929d ago

I would love to see what FOX News have to say about this when it comes out. LOL
But this has be preorder for already, and I just have to pick it up when it comes out.

decapitator5929d ago

Faux news is a joke. Thanks to them, most stores are pulling Mass Effect of the shelves. And all of this was based on a poor research done.

ravinash5929d ago (Edited 5929d ago )

You might as well put the full thing on screen, as this is going to be what they will report anyway.
in some ways, its a lot worse to leave it to your imagination...the things that go through these right wing minds is far worse than anything thats appeared on screen before.

HeartlesskizZ5929d ago

I stated on the other story that I would hate Fox making another SEXBOX ep on this mini game because that will affect my highly anticipated GOW3

antoinetm5929d ago

they should mention the candle holder shaped like a girl and well..., if you check the whole scene (and have a little imagination) you can see how far they went with the symbolism.

Such a poetic game :)

I would kill to have a Way of the Samurai game with a huge budget and modern tech... The first game was one of my greatest joys on PS2 back in the day. And I really hope From Software will do something with Tenchu... I hate that they're just sitting on the IP like it doesn't even exist.

Relientk7727d ago

Don't play with my feelings like that.

Also, new Tenchu please!

TheColbertinator26d ago

Tenchu would be superb in this day and age. Ninja and samurai games are hot right now and more is better.

Original Final Fantasy 7 - Is it Worth Playing in 2024?

Final Fantasy 7 has come back under the spotlight thanks to the release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but is it worth replaying the original?

ravens5230d ago

Got to Zacks part in 7 Rebirth. Said f it. Finishing my game in 7 og. Just got to part 2 yesterday. I also got Crisis Core... So it'll be a while before I'm back to Rebirth. I just keep thinking about it too smh, want to get back to playing it. Not till I know Zacks story though. I beat 7 og sooooooo long ago, it's crazy going through it again and remembering things.

MrNinosan30d ago (Edited 30d ago )

Got to Zacks part in Rebirth?
You mean you started the game and turned it off?
The game starts with Zack...

ravens5229d ago

... Really 🤓 lol. His second part, I've played for 80hrs lmao. <---- PS5 Run time, probably not all game time. You guys know how it goes.

VIK212129d ago (Edited 29d ago )

Did you not ever play the OG FF7? After you recruit Vincent, later in the game, disc 3, return to that basement and look at the pod, there's a whole Zack story that'll trigger as a memory.... it's well hidden in the game and a lot of things regarding Zack are cleared up. FF7 Crisis Core is basically an extend feature of that hidden flashback... It took me years to discover it back then lol

MrNinosan29d ago

@ravens52
80 hours in Rebirth by doing everything, and you should've reached Zacks story about 5 times 🤣

ravens5229d ago

Ye I kno that's y I said not all gameplay time. But also I am very anal when it comes to exploring.

ravens5229d ago

Not to mention fighting Titan at his full strength. Hours spent trying still haven't succeeded. Found all 3 ruins but I'ma masochist when it comes to games.

Barlos30d ago

Very much so. Graphically it's dated but the story and the gameplay haven't aged a day. It's still one of my all time favourite RPGs and for me is better than Remake in some ways.

Barlos30d ago (Edited 30d ago )

It always takes me back to Christmas 1997, I got it as a gift and I was blown away when I played it. I couldn't believe games could look that good. The combination of pre rendered backgrounds and FMV really made it stand out. It definitely still has a certain charm that modern games can't replicate.

I can't imagine people will still be talking about Remake and Rebirth in 27 years.

Tapani29d ago

Fully agreed. To me the atmosphere, pacing, gameplay and music are all better than in the remake.

Rebel_Scum30d ago

Yes, play this, skip remake, start rebirth for new players.

I_am_Batman30d ago

Skip Remake? That's terrible advice.

leahcim30d ago

Remake is so amazing, pure FFVII Love, play it on PS5 please! aww the graphics the battles, the music... a dream come true.

Rebel_Scum30d ago (Edited 30d ago )

I disagree Batman

It's insane its been this long since the last release.

CrimsonWing6932d ago

Not from you.

Knowing how you handled FF16 by trying to make it appeal to non-fans and changing the entire gameplay design I can see you changing Tactics to appeal to non-fans.

If they’re going to do this please give it to someone who wants to keep the game and genre in tact.

VersusDMC31d ago

He worked on tactics ogre reborn. Was there changes? He wouldn't make an FF tactics game an action game. It will be AA but faithful. Probably what the Diofield Chronicles team and some of the FFXVI team is probably working on already and he is just keeping a secret.

And FF hasn't had a set gameplay design since X. I disliked the MMO, 12, 13 FF's but didn't mald for years. I played other games. Stop crying as he probably won't make a single player FF again and will be busy with the next FF MMO.

EternalTitan31d ago

I can feel your hatred. Keep it up.

Ataraxias31d ago

Tactics Ogre Reborn was an overall solid product but almost eliminated the concept of builds in the game.
So we'd probably end up with a system where character jobs like Mercenary for Ramza is 80% of the character instead of being freeform.

SegaSaturn66931d ago

Tactics Ogre Reborn changed a lot of gameplay mechanics for the worse. The class system is weird and hard to lock in roles, and they shoehorned a new "random card appearing" mechanic on the maps which makes no sense. Previously you obtained those boosts from killing powerful opponents, not spawning randomly.

There's a way better way to play Tactics Ogre: the fanmade onevision mod of the psp version.

EternalTitan31d ago

16 was just a terrible mess.
Its not even a JRPG let alone a final fantasy game.
Yosi piss(who said he hates JRPGs) should not touch another Final Fantasy game ever again.

VersusDMC31d ago

87 metacritic can't be a terrible mess.
If Kingdom Hearts is a JRPG then FFXVI is a JRPG. And he said he hates the term JRPG as it carries a bad stereotype with western journalists.

So you're just incorrect on several fronts...

Asterphoenix31d ago

I wouldn't mind a new FF Tactics longs they keep the tactical elements of Tactics in it as well as a very in depth story. Which FF Tactics years ago has by far one of the best stories in the series.

Tapani31d ago

Yes, alongside with Vagrant Story. Playing FFT, then Vagrant story and finally FFXII is a bliss. Deepest lore and best stories ever made in video games.
