She needs to figure out the difference between low and high fantasy.

..or maybe I do.

Why sex matters in Witcher 3, the Grand Theft Auto of fantasy games

"The game, due for release in May, contains 16 hours of sex scene motion capture data (used to animate the 3D mannequins into their various lifelike positions)"

Oh boy...

 

[dragonbird]

I was nervous about reading it, given the strong SJW bias at The Guardian, but it was actually OK, once you got past that headline. Not a review though, just an interview.

Glad to see the REDs have their priorities straight.

 

[sidspyker]

Well, now we know the REAL reason for the delay.

 

[JackalJ]

I wonder if Damien Monnier was also 'chosen' to get that motion caption material. (Since he already motion captured Geralt in the bath.)

Must be hard, working at CDPR.

 

[sidspyker]

Must be hard, working at CDPR.

Yeah.

 

[lexaran]

That's a lot of sex! x)
Since it's that much, will there be any gameplay mechanics tied to copulation?

I'm just kidding, I don't wanna play sex, just wanna enjoy some elven butts naked hahah

 

[scratcherpen]

I wonder how laught and confused peoples were when filmed this.

 

[sidspyker]

Just to clear it up for some people who MAY be confused. That's not 16 hours of sex scenes in the game but how much time it took to record them and get them right in the studio.

 

[ReptilePZ]

Damn.

Not sure if this has been posted earlier, but someone asked me to post it...

Hahaha, before clicking onto this latest page I read the previous one and was just wracking my brains trying to figure out how on earth 16 hours of sex scene mocap could have been implemented into the game... Lucky I was caught up playing Legend of Grimrock 2 and it allowed time for this update, or else I would have been left confused for much longer.

Weirdly enough with so much talk about Combat, Graphics, Story, Alchemy and everything else we've learnt/heard from these previews and latest Gameplay, I'd entirely forgotten that Sex was actually going to be in the game.
Were the sex scenes mocapped in TW2? I don't remember hearing anything about it, and they didn't have that mocap "quality" to them... Guess we should be in for some pretty high quality sex scenes then... Interesting.

There was an article with some details where they mention hiring supermodels : http://facet.onet.pl/jak-stworzyc-wirtualna-seksbombe/ktstv (google translate it from polish)

 

[DukeAlmighty]

I wonder if they used actors for sex scene mo-cap or just guys and girls from the team :hai:

Well, they've hired a true sword master to mo-cap the combat animation. I don't see any reason to shy away from the sex scenes :rly?:
