discussion Do you think there will ever be true AAA porn games?

[Crpapjda]

If by AAA we are assuming the size of the company that make/distributes it, then probably not. I dont see rockstar making a porn game
If we are talking price and hype, isnt the Mass Effect parody already a AAA-like sex game?

What's that game called?

What's that game called?

Subverse. It was, at first, heavily inspired in the mass effect game (not the universe). Watching the current gameplay, I would say is more of an X-com mixed with mass effect

Back in the day we used to hear of double AA games and Subverse feels like it might fit more into that than triple AAA but idk the significance anymore

indie, AA and AAA is more about the company that makes or distributes the game. That was the joke when Bugisoft CEO and PoS Yves Guillemot announced their "AAAA game", a claim that makes 0 sense.

Honestly, I can't ever see it happening for the same reason you'll never see Disney making an animated porn film: it isn't worth alienating your core fanbase and the controversy to enter a niche market that frankly represents a pretty insignificant amount of potential profit. Porn games just aren't very socially accepted, and even the ones that are heavily story focused often contain elements that are highly controversial. The other thing is that AAA games simply cost an astronomical amount of money to make, often in the hundreds of millions at this point, so I can't even see it being possible for a studio of 50-100+ people to even break even on the development costs for an adult game.

Don’t think so. The closer you would get would be another Mass Effect game like the first trilogy but even that one got censored from what I heard.

Maybe in the far future, but it'll most likely be all AI.

As technology improves I think game creation will become easier and easier, so there’s probably a time when a sexual game will be indistinguishable from a AAA game.

Absolutely.

I'll be an old fart until that happens :'(

i do not see why not (hell i would argue nlt games is almost in that class already lust epidemic, treasure of nadia, the genesis order)

Don't you mean "Make a comback?" In the 70s, 80s and early 90s there were tons of AAA Adult games.

If there really is one, then great! But big chances are there won't be one.

Subverse might be the highest "quality" porn game made yet, but it's a cop out from that studio. Studiofow was built up on monster and bestiality porn. Then subverse comes out and it was quite tame on release. It even promised NTR content, but really none of it is canon. you get those weird "cards" to choose a scene to watch, but they are just bonuses and not part of the story. sorry, i'm rattling on. Just hate the bait and switch from that company when it could have been so much more.

I haven't played it, but isn't there another big game called Wilderness? It's even on patreon which is wild, considering how much beast content it has. I remember this being advertised as former game devs working on it.

I think it's only a matter of time, games like Baldur's Gate 3 proved that people have an appetite for nudity and sexual content in their AAA game, even without mods. I think the hardest thing will be attracting dev talent - if you're a good enough dev to make AAA games, having porn credits on your LinkedIn is going to kill your chances at regular studios. Not to mention the reputation hit you'll take with friends and family.

 

[Bärbl]

Even if its years from now do you think there will ever be a time a big studio just says fuck it and makes one? Even farther than anything in GTA or Baldurs Gate. If so which studio would be the most likely? Or do you think there would be room for an indie to grow enough to sit among them?

as long as Murica is not sure if they want to live in the 18th or 21st century, they will never allow AAA Studios to have Porn out there. Japan loved that and made a big industry out of it. But censored, because Muricans made their laws for some time... So...

Doubt it very few stores would sell it. Which would lead to poor sales. There would also be a lot of backlash.
