Wicked Paradise is developing the world’s first fully immersive Erotic Virtual Reality Adventure Game specifically designed to make use of the amazing capabilities of the Oculus Rift. Instead of watching an erotic movie or reading an erotic book in which the main character has exciting sexual adventures, you become that character!

Inside Wicked Paradise you are not watching someone else have all the fun, you are having all the fun!

What is this videogame like?

Imagine playing Leisure Suit Larry but instead of watching a screen, you are inside the game.
Imagine the world and its inhabitants look highly realistic.
Imagine walking into a bar in Wicked Paradise, noticing a beautiful lady, talking to her, and seducing her.
Imagine playing your cards right and having passionate wild sex with her.

Imagine all this in high quality, immersive virtual reality.

Welcome to Wicked Paradise!

Oh. That's a little bit tragic really.

The stuff besides shagging thin air sounds good though.

Could you imagine your flat mate, mum or girlfriend etc walking in on you

Haha. I'm sure there'll be many stories like that if this actually happens!

Oh good Lord.

I'm not sure whether to believe you or not but after reading that above I seriously wouldn't be too surprised.

As much as I'm looking forward to getting a PS4, this is true next-gen tech in my opinion. It just sounds like such a game changer.

True that.

I think it could seriously reignite the FPS genre actually. Racing games would look amazing too. But then, so would anything I think!

 

[Duncan Disordely]

Think these would be really good, but it just wouldn't be my kind of thing

Does not look like a good game to be honest, unless they have levels with the likes of Stuart Hall chasing you. And, you can bludgeoned him to death.

It will probably only be about £15 though.

Didn't they have that gadget in Red Dwarf?

Finally, 2 months after I made this thread people finally has started to take an interest in this!

Facebook have just paid $2Billion for Oculus

Facebook have just paid $2Billion for Oculus

Sony has said they are developing a VR system. Not sure if there is anything to this story because Sony really haven't developed jack since the original playstation. However maybe it scared Oculus.

That being said I get the feeling the Oculus people said to themselves: we don't really have any software support behind us, its kind of bulky and looks uncomfortable and we might have to sell oh 10-20 million to be profitable. Let's see if we can pawn off the tech for crazy money to the dope who paid 1 billion for instagram and we'll take our monies, split the company and move on to other things.

Facebook has money (and Zuckerberg controls over 50% the voting shares) but they don't have electronic engineers. Who knows if the current engineers will even stay on board. Even on the money side, they aren't microsoft rich. In other words they won't easily be able to absorb a multi-billion dollar hit to get into the game market. I think the tech is interesting but I also think it still has to shrink to about 1/3 of its size and come in at a $300 or less price tag to be viable. That's a long way away.
