Andriasang: Fortune Arteial is a top selling 18-and-up Windows visual novel. If you heard that a console version was on the way, you'd probably expect it to be for Xbox 360. But surprisingly, PS3 is the target platform for the home version.
How much you wanna bet that there will be NO adult situations or depictions in this "adult" game? Not so much as a little hentai side-boob!
It'll be watered, censored, and cut to the point where it's just another sickeningly cutesy anime that no one except an otaku would watch.
I don't really care, because I can get plenty of free hentai online - but it sort of defeats the whole purpose of bringing an 'adult' title to a console in the first place.
Don't find it surprising that a Japanese game will be going exclusive to the PS3... Kind of hitting their market, aren't they?
As far as the 'game'... very hard to classify this as a game. Also, don't see why it would need to be toned down for the consoles, but that's censorship for ya.
This can only be seen as good news. I would hate for developers to feel restricted. Scenes involving sex or excessive nudity can be done tastefully as many TV shows have shown. For example, one of my favorite scenes of all time comes from Spartacus: Blood and Sand's episode Whore. The sex scene was beautifully captured. The cinematography unparalleled. I was so amazed. I had almost completely forgot the scene was full of dick and V. Art like this cannot be banned. It's simply a must see. Hopefully, this game can lead the way.
Firstly, this game is very softcore. Secondly, they're going to remove all nudity/sex for the PS3 version. And thirdly, there are several games...no, graphic novels, like this already ported to the 360. There's no reason to buy any of them because the superior PC versions are free.
This must be outside of the U.S., because M rated games are for 17 years and up. 18 and up games would fall into the Adults Only catagory if i'm correct. Meaning they would have to find a way to sell it, because no store in America will sell an AO game!
The reason they sell these in Japan is because there is a market for it with niche stores, like porn shops. More importantly it doesn't take but a hand full of people to make one of these games so their cheap. There would be no actual interest in these kinds of games in America which is why it wouldn't happen here. A comic book on a Bluray just doesn't sound appealing. I've check these things out, out of curiosity and it can take up to an hour before you even see a nipple. Oddly enough the only reason people get these kinds of games is to see nudity/sex and most of the disc is just stories of people standing around conversing about their backpack or homework.
I would describe it as a woman's soap opera, combined with a child's curiosity (dumb ignorance), and playboy magazine (aka not hustler).
What's the point of having an AO rating if that means no one will sell it? Why not just flunk it and say "no, you can't publish this"?
I'll tell you why: because that would probably run afoul of free speech laws. So we have this stupid system that says, "yes, you can make your adult game, you can even publish it - but we'll give it a special rating that ensures you can never sell a single copy".
Amazing how economics can be used to curtail civic liberties.
I'm sorry but "novel" games, are anything but adult, more like Childish. There more action in Heavy Rain than a Japanese Adult Video Game. It's just a series of pictures and if you want pictures try the internet.
Not really they might pick it up to LOL at the cuts they'll do to the game,also in the unlikely event that they don't cut the best parts there's no way it would come out of Japan.oh BTW if you want the real uncut game this perv can tell you were to get it and all you need to run it,just PM me.
EDIT Warning: Rant ahead @FishCake9T4 did you know that most of the characters in video games coming out from Japan contain HENTAI for those fans in one way or another for example most of them are lolicon remember that character you love so much that made you cry when she died FFVII she's a loli, darkstalkers I forgot his name but he's followed by a little girl loli,street fighter sakura loli,resident evil cheril loli.Most anime have as well if you know what to look for.BTW alien love is henati as well Mass Effect hybrids are hentai back ground as well tv programing is full of hentai as well as most music. So stop been a white hole OSHIRI or move into a dark cave with the bats OH wait they also make sex so the only answer is JUMP INTO A ACTIVE VOLCANO
I thought Sony said they were never gonna have an Adult game on the PS3. Either way, it's good to reach out to all audiences, even the 40-year-olds in basements. :P
You never know if it sales well in those nations it could end up in other nations as well. Those types of titles would be more underground but it's possible for those types of games to come to the rest of the world.
I guess Japanese devs have realized porting ero games to 360 in Japan is a wasted business venture. This is good news. Can't wait to play this. I don't care if it's toned down. Story and Characters look good to me :]
Er you know guys ... quite a few japanese console games have been known as ero games on pc before , and when they appears on console , they are without the porn , since magically enough plenty of them are very good story or games , with porn added to fuel sales .
Tears to tiara and the fate stay night or melty blood games come to mind .
Incidentally i am watching the fate/stay nights anime right now. Great show with a great storyline :) @Taokaka bellow, any site where you are using to get them?
you know my sister in law would love this she was going to buy some at a store when i mentioned if guys caught u buying stuff like that youll get a lot of digets, especially since ure asian xD
Why does a game have to feature nudity and generic schoolgirls in order to be an Adult game? This game is more like hormonal teen boy fantasy then mature. No wonder video game stories are always in B movie level quality and women are just sex objects. Sumtimes this hobby is so immature...*sigh*
kudos for letting people adults have some fun too. most M games are being taking over by kids who think saying "M4A1 with ACOG sight iz beast!" is badass stupid 13 year olds lol
Wow! A 18+ game on the PS3? Never saw that coming. The pervs are going to go nuts for this news.

This can just stay from where it came.
