The Guy Game - Adult Console Trivia Nirvana?

Posted by simoniker on from the cleansing-shower-needed dept.

Thanks to IGN Cube for their preview of the the adult console trivia title, The Guy Game, as created by the "newly formed Topheavy Studios... run by Jeff Spangenberg, former head of Retro Studios, which was responsible for the GameCube hit Metroid Prime." The fruits of this illustrious pedigree seem to be a game that "...features topless, M-rated nudity... [and] integrates drinking game A**hole, allowing for custom rules." The title even features the 'Flash-O-Meter', which "...is rated Soft & Squishy, Sorta Chubby, and Super Stiff", depending on the amount of nudity involved, and the game also features a "stage of play... called BallzOut, which a bunch of mini-games designed around clever ball physics." Sadly, the title "is still looking for a publisher", even if IGN are "somewhat excited by it."

    This game is sad simply because we can't put on some pr0n and drink with our friends. We make ourselves work for it now. Answering trivia is fun, but it seems like your only motivation in this game is to get drunk and see naked women, neither of which involves a game normally. YDKJ always was kind of fun at a party even without the "jubblies" though.

      Ah, You Dont Know Jack was a classic. The British version of couse, voiced by Paul Kaye. The only problem with it was the lack of questions. After playing it non-sstop all night (yes, this DID happen) you started to get to know the answers in advance.

      I tried playing the American version, mainly because you could expand it with downloadable modules, but due to all the cultural references I didnt find it as funny. I'd imagine the same would go for Americans playing the UK version.

    Yes. Because God Forbid we should see any nipple through the clothing...

    Those magazines are so lame. Porn for those who are too scared to buy the real thing.

    ...Make an AO MMO sex game where all you do is have sex with other people's characters. All the free publicity from the religous right, the far left, and Joe Lieberman crying bloody murder, will guarantee an instant hit. Even if the game sucks. And it most likely would. If anyone would buy a game like The Guy Game, or a Strip Poker game, or something like that where they just get some tits flashed at them, they'd sure as hell buy this. They can even charge monthly fees. And developers love those.

    Now theres a game that should be eye-toy compatible. Or a killer-app for Xbox Live.

    (I wouldn't play this game, but you have to admit, it would sell. Especially among Slashdot readers.)
