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

[Whyknott]

There will be modded variants, like Sims-4, Fallout NV, or Fallout 4.

would have to agree, the mod community keeps the dream alive.

Things like baldur's gate 3 and cyber punk are the closest we'll get and to me thats fine. I dont need a whole game to revolve around sex. It is nice when it shows up in a game, especially if it goes with the story and not forced.

If AAA we are referring to 20+ hours of game time, quality graphics and great gameplay mechanics and story. It would be difficult to relate these measures around a game where the end goal is to get nutted.

 

[Whyknott]

I actually think that porn games will get more censorship as time goes by. I don't want it to be true... but since when have our leaders and law enforcement come to us with GOOD news on that front?

Unfortunately seems to be the way the world is going, unless a AAA studio steps up.

 

[Mr.Nobody]

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?

No, the reason for that is the way advertisers and advertising firms operate

If any porn game can get to the level of Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice then i would consider it's AAA. In the bright future

I would have to say that making a strictly porn game, where the goal is to simply have sex...there isn't really a point. If you mean a story driven game that simply includes the opportunity to seduce any character and show the actual sex scene on screen...that is a maybe. But it would have to wait for a greater shift in society towards permissiveness & maybe even encourgement of sex before it would happen. At least if you are looking for something on as grand a scale as BG3 / GTA / CP2077 / etc.

I don't think the world is ready for this yet, lol. Besides, a game like this port would burst the bubble and people out there just know how to be annoying.

 

[tritus]

Maybe in a distant future, but in the next years I don't think it's possible.

 

[DeusX]

No I don't think so. I think maybe eventually in the future they could. But i also don't think by then AAA games will exist in the form they currently do.

 

[abarosant]

At some point in time, there has to exist a gooner millionaire, without fear to public backlash. Or some big porno companies trying new things.
Maybe not AAA, but AA sure, I see that happening.

 

[Dely5064]

Most likely not , they wont be able to advertise these type of games to the large public

"A Man Can Dream"

 

[ghostwerx]

Agreed, you can dream, but sadly as stated above, it won't be released until there is a major shift in both the gaming industry & in society.

 

[Stardog]

Maybe when England wins the World Cup.

 

[Elrond13]

Maybe when England wins the World Cup.

So hopefully never?

AAA games need a very broad approach to pique the interest of many players, so it had to be VERY vanilla. Sexual kinks on the other hand are somewhat niche and special for everyone. I think, these two approaches naturally exclude each other.

 

[swamp]

I think such a sharp pain isnt to far off from that, story is good and the animations is a plus also. Maybe not a AAA but one of the better AVN

 

[CristianRed]

No, there is not even any AA for me yet.

 

[swamp]

whats your favorite one so far??

 

[kodex]

The only real meaning for the term "AAA games" is the budget. Not the quality, not the size, not even the price tag for the finished product. And considering that big budgets require extensive market analysis and a lot of countries have laws against adult content, no big budget company will take the risk of allocating 100m dollars and not be able to sell in 80% of the countries. So no, I don't think a real AAA adult game will be produced in the foreseeable future.
However, games with adult themes might work if their main focus is not sexual (like Witcher, Cyberpunk, BG3). Those are a different story.
