Nuditiy in a Dreamcast game? Suprised me.

[njiska]

I was just playing good ol' D2 for my DC and was kind of shocked when just a little ways into the second disk there was a pair of exposed breasts. Normally today i wouldn't have thought anything off it, but i didn't realize we had nudity in mainstream console games back then. I'm kind of curious to know when the console makers started letting people have this kind of freedom with their games. I mean violence has been growing in video games since the early 90s and i know nudity hasn't been anything big on the PC since the dawn of time, but i always use to think that consoles, at least in North America, "protected" (and i use the word as sarcastically as possible) people from things like nudity. Don't get me wrong, i'm glad we have the freedom to include it in games today simply from an artistic or gameplay stand point (picture Playboy: The Mansion with no nudity. I mean that's just morally wrong) but i'd really like to know when it started.

So does anyone know of any other console games that included Nudity prior to the current generation? Any idea which was first? Oh and i'm thinking mainstream titles not pirates. Perferably from the North american region since the the most oppresive when it comes to that kind of content.

Thanks

i think that d2 had the mature esrb rating? i have it liying somewhere. Actually it was jus the liberty of doing so. Just because a movie has a pair of boobs doesn't turn it into a XXX film. Just look at eurotrip, apple pie, and the such.

Well, I remember when D2 first came out, I was totally surprised by the boobage. I did not see that one coming. Especially back in 2000, I mean back then nudity was not looked upon as 'acceptable' in games.

Still really isn't 'acceptable' today either really.

There was even worse stuff in the intro, but it was cut out. I could spill the beans, but that would probably take this topic into the Pub.

I'm still reeling form the "back then" comments in this thread.

2600 had a bunch of adult games as did the NES. Plenty of nudity, though boobs composed of 6 pixels doesn't do much for me. 3DO has a bunch of adult stuff too. You don't even want to start with imports. Those Japanese are nuts.

I think The Space Adventure: Cobra The legendary Bandit on Sega CD had something close. It had that stripclub where the alien dancer is basically topless except for the gold tips.
Duke Nukem 3D for Saturn still had strippers who would flash you, showing off their tassles.
Dead or Alive 2 for Dreamcast had that code that you had to enter in Time Attack ranking to get the opening to show a naked Kasumi during the cloning process.

What's wrong with saying back then?? I say back then all the time. Look the Dreamcast was in a different time then we're in now so it counts as back then.It would've been worse if i had said back in the day.

Stormlord for the genesis had a bunch of nude statues in it. As did Castlevania: Symphony of the Night for the Playstation.

The first Metal Gear Solid has some pixelated nasty bits when Meryl beats up a guard and takes his clothes. I always wondered if the Japanese version full-on showed it. You can get pretty close there with first person view.

In MGS2, Raiden wakes up naked and you have to play through a portion of the game with no clothes, but he cleverly covers himself with one hand or there's a clever prop blocking his genitals in almost every shot. However, when he jumps, I think you can see his scrotum. It's hard to tell, though.

There was also a Genesis game where, at the end, when you save a princess she's nude in a pink bubble. In later copies of the game she wears a blue dress.

Heh, well, as much as I didn't want to use the phrase, you can't deny that it gets the job done. I mean, what else could I really say. "In 2000", yes, but is it that much different from "Back in 2000".

It's not like I'm saying that's a long time ago or anything :P

Speaking of the D games, the Japanese version of Enemy Zero for Saturn has a naked Laura in a cryogenic chamber with her breasts showing (no nipples). Don't know if that's in the Western releases...

Mystic Defender? I didn't realize they altered it later on.

I'm more curious to know how you were able to play to the second disk of D2. I could never get into that game. Is it decent? Should I make the attempt again?

It's not the past, it's the future.

goatdan- I'm w/ you! "D" rocked, but I hard a hard time getting into the first D2, especially after that poetry/song or whatever.

Guess I'll have to get back into it for the CG boobies!

[Graham Mitchell]

D2 is awesome, and the CG boobies are really nothing special. In fact, I think they're attached to one of the alien/people hybrids who have no head. (it's been awhile, so I could be wrong).

The probably with D2 is the lame narration, and you can't skip it. If you can get over that, D2 is amazing. Walking around in the snow at night while hunting for deer is one of the cooler experiences I've had in gaming. And sometimes the game is really funny (anybody who's beat the flight-attendant boss will know that.)

Give it another shot. It really is worth it. Just play it where your girlfriend can't hear it, 'cuz the voice acting is major lame.
