Braless motion-capture. Meanwhile, SCIENCE:

I'm a weeaboo so I'll stick with DEAD OR ALIVE for my boob physics. I hope this upcoming console generation gets a new DOA: XTREME BEACH VOLLEYBALL game.


sasazuka - 2013-12-04

Also, the face of this woman is just like that one SEINFELD episode where Jerry's girlfriend looks lovely or scary depending on how the light falls on her face. Plus, there's still much too much "uncanny valley" going on here for me to find her attractive. The girls in DEAD OR ALIVE are cuter because Team Ninja aren't trying to make them look too realistic.


EvilHomer - 2013-12-04

I call it "the Dee from It's Always Sunny face".

And forget a new DoA XBV, what I want to know is if we're going to see an uncensored Region 1 release for any future Rumble Roses.


Carl Woodward - 2013-12-04

no, they're "cuter" because you're completely ridiculous


BorrowedSolution - 2013-12-04

I personally don't find her attractive because she isn't real. But different strokes (get it? get it?) for different folks.

1 star because who gives a shit?


sasazuka - 2013-12-04

Oh yeah, RUMBLE ROSES has great CGI girls for a PS2 game. I would definitely be "up" for an updated version. I didn't know the western release was censored, though.


Old_Zircon - 2013-12-04

The only difference between being attracted to a videogame character and being attracted to furry art is plausible deniability.


BorrowedSolution - 2013-12-04

What if I'm one of those boring people who's only attracted to flesh-and-blood women wearing normal (or no) attire?

Do I have to hand in my poetv card?


EvilHomer - 2013-12-04

The US version of Rumble Roses did not include the gay clown gimp character, and apparently some of the costumes were altered in Rumble Roses XX to make them less provocative.


Hooker - 2013-12-04

At this point the list of games that haven't had "uncanny valley" referenced has to be smaller.


sasazuka - 2013-12-04

The farthest I'll go with praise for the graphics here is that the motion capture faces look a bit better than L.A. NOIRE and kind of remind me of that Zemeckis BEOWULF motion-capture "animated" (air quotes) movie from 2007.

I'm just someone who doesn't want too much graphic realism in my games and will mostly stick with games on the cartoon/anime faces side of the uncanny valley (other than the occasional sports game).


Nikon - 2013-12-05

This is in uncanny valley territory for me too. I guess I think anime girls are cuter.

If you guys are willing to import, you can probably get an uncensored version of Rumble Roses (ps2). You'd need some way of playing an import title, though. PS2 stuff is still region-locked even on PS3, which is mostly region-neutral.


sasazuka - 2013-12-05

Another thing to consider, outside the uncanny valley factor, is whether realistic-looking faces fit the tone of the game. I've already conceded that sports games generally, yes, look better with "realistic" faces (although some of my all-time favourite sports games like NHL '94 are just pixels), and maybe "realistic" faces look better in western fantasy games (I don't play them so I really don't know what western fantasy game fans prefer), but there's no way in hell I want "realistic" faces in JRPGs.

Even some of the FINAL FANTASY games wander too far into the uncanny valley for my tastes, which is why I avoid that franchse entirely.


Hooker - 2013-12-05

My point is that the term is fucking wildly misused by people who play video games. It is meant to describe the uneasiness felt around things that simulate humans / living creatures. Which is to say, things that you can't for sure tell aren't human / living. Nobody in their right mind mistakes the graphics in shit like The Polar Express / Heavy Rain / This as photorealism. The discomfort people feel - if there is any at all - comes from how ugly it is.

XBOX ONE, FREEZE GAME, DO A CLOSE UP, TO THE LEFT, TO THE RIGHT, UP. THERE YOU GO.............OH BOY


Jet Bin Fever - 2013-12-04

And as a bonus it will watch you as you bring shame to yourself.


ashtar. - 2013-12-04

Am I the only one that finds it odd that Romans always have english accents rather than, you know, italian?


SteamPoweredKleenex - 2013-12-04

I think that's a holdover from old movies, which probably got its inspiration from the association between the Brits and Shakespeare's Julius Caesar.

Plus, it's not like most of the world lacks a history of the imperial boot of Jolly Old England being on their necks, so I guess if you have an empire, you stick some limey bastard in the driver's seat.


Bort - 2013-12-04

They ought to do it more along these lines:

Potrod - 2013-12-04

An Italian accent wouldn't make any sense to me. Why would they speak their own language with a foreign accent, particularly one from a thousand years in the future?


EvilHomer - 2013-12-04

They should speak in Latin accents.


Sexy Duck Cop - 2013-12-04

No. You are definitely not.


SteamPoweredKleenex - 2013-12-05

If I recall correctly, nobody even knows what the "Latin accent" sounded like, so you can really just pick whatever one you want.

Droop, then lift, droop, then lift...

This is what you get if you don't hire TOP MEN to do your breast physics. You need TOP MEN!

TOP men

Analog wins again.


Gmork - 2013-12-04

Less is more, people. I'm getting dizzy here.


Jet Bin Fever - 2013-12-04

They've managed to make games worse looking by trying to make them look better.


memedumpster - 2013-12-04

These are the same breast physics that Bioware pioneered way back in NWN. Considering these games now time your play, the breasts should slowly sag towards the knees as the game goes on, so by the end they are windmilling about and knocking over placeables to show the next gen awesomeness.
