While VR has many awesome applications for gaming, it was always going to be a slippery slope of people taking things a little too far.
That could be the case with the upcoming Dead or Alive Extreme 3 VR, a game that puts you on a beach resort with a collection of bikini-clad women.
An article by Engadget went as far as to call the VR experience “Sexual assault: The game”.
“Watching a grown man grope a bikini model in virtual reality is awkward enough in its own right, but listening to the video’s dialogue makes it worse.”
“As the player pokes and prods Kasumi’s body with the PlayStation 4’s motion controller, she tells him “I don’t like it,” and uses a word that directly translates to “bad” that is often used to flatly deny permission. The player persists, and the character naturally recoils. We did too — it’s a blatantly sexist and aggressive experience.”
The game is expected to launch alongside the PlayStation VR headset in November.
