Wicked Paradise is developing the world’s first fully immersive Erotic Virtual Reality Adventure Game specifically designed to make use of the amazing capabilities of the Oculus Rift. Instead of watching an erotic movie or reading an erotic book in which the main character has exciting sexual adventures, you become that character! Inside Wicked Paradise you are not watching someone else have all the fun, you are having all the fun! What is this videogame like? Imagine playing Leisure Suit Larry but instead of watching a screen, you are inside the game. Imagine the world and its inhabitants look highly realistic. Imagine walking into a bar in Wicked Paradise, noticing a beautiful lady, talking to her, and seducing her. Imagine playing your cards right and having passionate wild sex with her. Imagine all this in high quality, immersive virtual reality. http://www.wickedparadise.com/I feel this is more a publicity stunt for the gaming news rather something that will mature into a good game (how many people have an Oculus Rift anyway?) But it's a juicy topic for smug "New technology used for porn? I am shocked! Shocked!" comments and sex-puns. So here we go.

New technology used for porn. I am shocked! Shocked! There. In all seriousness, I believe the first piece of software to make serious bank on this will be porn, more than likely through the hourly rate offered on the cruise ship for the 18-24 year olds, the line that bought four dozen of these things to replace their original onboard arcade.

Given the incredibly niche market they're going for, I can't imagine they're going to have enough of a budget to produce graphics that will be anything short of laughable.

Haha, yeah, uhm, no. I'll not be doing that. Imagine the world and its inhabitants look highly realistic.

Yeah, this is a game that's going to have to solve a lot of problems if it doesn't want to look goddamn awful. Even fully funded AAA studios generally shy away from things like free-flowing long hair and complex facial animation, and I'd think that's kind of a requirement here. What I wonder is how you'd even make something like this into a game in the first place. Games are shit horrible at simulating social interaction, they generally just abstract the whole thing (like The Sims or Fable) or turn it into a Choose Your Own Adventure book (which works in something like Mass Effect when you have a bunch of options, not so much here when there's presumably one "right" path). The comparison to "Leisure Suit Larry, but realistic!" isn't exactly illuminating when LSL was basically a comedy game and the gameplay makes zero sense in any remotely realistic setting.

Yes but now you can feel you are right there, on a meaningless date with a boring one-dimensional character while you feign interest for the slim chance of seeing boob. Ya know, pretty much real life.

So people are going to stick an Oculus Rift on, play Leisure Suit Larry 3D HD and hope their mum doesn't come into the room while they're wanking with a box on their heads?
Who is making this, Troll Games Inc?
