Tbh the shlocky horror fan in me kinda likes the bust since it reminds me of a bunch of low brow Italian gore movies. Dunno if that was the intention or not but they def should've done some market research since it seems to have put people off

The bitter jaded internet in me sees that and thinks "oh guro fans busted tons of nuts I bet."

Also objectification of women etc. Notice how the boobs are uninjured and clean of blood lol.

I say this as someone who owns five Lucio Fulci films on blu-ray: the torso is awful as is anyone who owns it.

Isn't this fairly common practice in video games with characters who appear naked, even if the nudity is concealed or off camera? Off the top of my head, Remedy did that with Mona Sax in Make Payne 2 and Quantic Dreams did that with Ellen Page's character in Beyond: Two Souls.

I think the line of thinking is that it's better to have the textures and not need them in case a graphical fuckup or something reveals an angle that wasn't intended so that you don't have a glitched or incomplete character model showing, but I could be way off on that. The Sims certainly doesn't do that, but that game also has a censor removal option built into it.

I heard Ellen Page did not know that David Cage had had her nude body modeled beneath her clothing and was NOT TOO HAPPY with that information.

Do you really think that was David Cage’s reasoning behind making the nude model of Ellen Page?

typically if game devs can get away with not doing something, like making a nude body just a basic texture in all the areas the player isn't supposed to see, that's what they will do because it's less work and they have a dozen other things to worry about getting done while the publisher is breathing down their neck to meet their deadlines. not only that but adding in nude/sexual content, even if it isn't normally accessible to the player, can cause a PR shitstorm, like what happened with GTA San Andreas hot coffee mod or to a lesser degree Beyond: Two Souls. they might claim otherwise but 100% the reason this poo poo ends up happening is because there are weird perverts involved in the game dev process

As much as I roll my eyes at almost everything in the games industry these days, I'd actually be a bit disappointed if it all fell apart and console and PC market vanished to be replaced with mobile crap. I've been really liking the last two Hitman games over the past couple of weeks and apparently they sold like poo poo, meanwhile the sequel to Alien Isolation is going to be some loving mobile poo poo. I don't want that!

Are people really playing these bigger PC game title mobile versions and spending real money on in game microtransactions? Or are they just working off the assumption that "the real money to be made is in mobile gaming right now" and just running with that hoping it'll work?

Like for example I remember in recent years they made a mobile version of Dungeon Keeper, complete with microtransactions. Did that do well?
