Developer Obsidian has said that while the upcoming action-RPG Alpha Protocol (Xbox 360, PS3, and PC) does indeed have some naughty bits (read: sex) in it, all of the scenes are both satisfying and tasteful.

Also, similar to the one in Mass Effect (Xbox 360, PC), there will be no gameplay involved in the game's sex scenes. No full-frontal nudity either. Here's what Obsidian programming producer Nathan Davis said to VideoGamer:

No, itÂ’s tasteful. We do some things with our cinematics, too. It isnÂ’t just like a hand up on a thing! We cut around it a little bit. ItÂ’s an American game! What can I say? There are limits to what we can do there. IÂ’ve seen a few of the cinematics for those and it ends up being satisfying without beingÂ… you knowÂ… overÂ… you know?


The sex scenes in question (yes, plural, since players can choose to engage in physical relations with several key NPCs) will still be an integral part of gameplay, though, as they can affect the game's various endings. It's just that they won't be God of War-like minigames.

Guarenteed some fool is going to go out and get the game because he heard there's sex in the game.



If done right, sex is nothing that should be thought of as a crazy thing to put in a game. Mass Effect did it fairly well and it really was just the seal point of the relationship you had in that game - and a game relying so heavily on relationships really deserves to have something like that without being made a mockery of.

it is kinda weird.......don't know why everyone's given that unggoy guy unhappy faces, he's pretty much right.



his name isn't very good though so i guess that's a good enough reason.

the whole rating system is bs, you can see what other people think, but people need to think for themselves.



that's kinda exerting though...costs energy n stuff.



if the sex scene is there cause of the story that's possible, and should not be considered bad or good. it should be considered part of a story.



what's the big deal geez... it's just sex
