Mass Effect Q&A

[GameBanshee News]

Coming from the EA Games Studio Showcase, videogaming247 asked Ray Muzyka about the sex scene in Mass Effect. The full interview is available in audio.

Speaking to videogaming247 at yesterday’s EA Games Studio Showcase in London, BioWare boss Ray Muzyka said the studio was “happy” and “proud” of the sexual content of Mass Effect, saying its inclusion was tasteful and showed the RPG was an innovator in the field of games as an emergent art form.

“It’s the same content, just in higher resolution,” he said of the alien sex scene in the PC version of Mass Effect. “So it looks really good, right? We’re happy and we’re proud of the content that’s in the game. We think it’s appropriate for the rating the game has – it’s a ‘mature’ rated game. It’s tasteful and it’s not gratuitous. It’s actually adult-themed content of relationships, mature relationships that are very realistically depicted and actually very appropriate as well, and very emotionally impactful.”

I'd like some of whatever he shot into his veins prior to the interview. What a joke, coming from an EA game.

I think in many ways the fact that people want to talk about the relationships in the game is a good thing.

As in what? Using sex as a means to advance relationships? How revolutionary indeed. It's the same approach on how games from different genres promote themselves with the use of sexual themes just to attract those testosterone-laden guys to play them.
