GTA Sex Game Rumour Control

Gamespot's most informative Rumour Control column this week takes aim at a hilarious GTA rumour floating around the internets. From the article: "According to Gtasanandreas.net, one of its users had 'discovered a few sections of unused code in the PS2 version of San An[dreas] for the girlfriend 'missions.' With a bit of memory hacking and such, he discovered these removed portions of mission scripting were to not only put the camera inside the girlfriends' house when you stop in for 'coffee,' but also to make a little mini-game of it." Their final verdict was that the "mini-game" was, of course, Bogus. Funny, though. They also discuss LucasArts' support for the Revolution, the Sonic MMOG, and Nvidia PS3 real-time demos.

Obscure rumor debunked!

[Carbonated Milk]

So there's this rumor that nobody has heard of until Gamespot reported it. And it's not true. Thanks, Slashdot, I really feel informed!

I'm sorry, what?

[WhatAmIDoingHere]

If it's not real, what's this [gtagarage.com] mod unlocking?

Re:I'm sorry, what?

[kc32]

Have you tried said mod? And is this for PC, right?

Re:I'm sorry, what?

[Gothic_Walrus]

You know, mods can be used to add content to a game too.

I'd be willing to bet that this mod doesn't "unlock" squat. If it does change anything, it's because the mod is adding code.

Re:I'm sorry, what?

[bhtooefr]

Version 2.0 of this mod weighs in at 1.23MB. Considering that it also has the capability to strip OUT large portions of the game...

There is NO WAY IN HELL that somebody can fit a full 3D sex sim in 1.23MB. (The only problem? the guy DID say that the graphics were better in V2)

Which means, of course, that he's gotta be using at least SOME parts of GTA code for this. The question, of course, is what parts he's using. He very well could be modifying the hooker system (note: I don't know how it works - I've n

Re:I'm sorry, what?

[Dmala]

He very well could be modifying the hooker system

There isn't much animation involved in the hooker sequence. Basically, the suspension of whatever car you're in just bounces. In GTA3 and (I think) Vice City, you could actually get the camera to flip around to see inside the car, and your character and the hooker are just sitting side by side not moving, while the car hops around like a lowrider. I'm sure it's the same in San Andreas, except they fix the camera at a low, rear angle, so there's no way

Re:In other news...

[KDR_11k]

The truth is, this code has been turned into an AI for "editing" stories, codenamed Zonk. Unfortunately, "Zonk" was too intelligent for its purpose and pondered about the meaning of life and things like that. That made it become depressed, kinda kile Marvin from the Hitchhiker's Guide, and suicidal. Now it atempts to annoy Slashdot readers to the point where its masters decide to delete it. Unfortunately it does not know that all the other "staff" at Slashdot is just a bunch of less advanced AIs and will ne

Was anybody watching G4 Last night

[Lullabye_Muse]

They definietely shwoed the sex minig game on aots show last night for the computer which had to be hacked, but the agme is in there and should be in the ps2 it's just unlockable until someone makes a crack for it over something like a usb key or memory card.

Re:Was anybody watching G4 Last night

[WhatAmIDoingHere]

What the fuck did you just say?

Re:Was anybody watching G4 Last night

[ForrestWhite]

Yeah, it was on Attack of the Show last night. Heh, it looked real enough to me. Unless it was some hardcore modder doing it, it should still be left within the game. (How could you not understand what he was talking about?)

Re:Was anybody watching G4 Last night

[FidelCatsro]

Never before has Hardcore Modder had so many meanings

Re:Was anybody watching G4 Last night

[jrumney]

...definietely shwoed the sex minig game on aots show...the agme...

Typing that one handed while looking at the screenshots by any chance?

Re:Was anybody watching G4 Last night

[PhoenixOne]

Ah, it looks like we found G4's target market.

I knew something smelled rotten...

[Minced]

Their final verdict was that the "mini-game" was, of course, Bogus. Funny, though. They also discuss LucasArts' support for the Revolution, the Sonic MMOG, and Nvidia PS3 real-time demo It wasn't until I saw the PS3 real-time video claim as true did I know this was completely bogus.

For all you cartoon porn addicts

[bartyboy]

Pictures. [gtasanandreas.net]

I've seen shampoo commercials that were more arousing.

rockstar must have known this would be discovered.

[supersocialist]

There's a thread on gtaforums [gtaforums.com] (may require registration) about this mod. My copy of San Andreas is still, uh, in the mail so I have yet to try it myself. GTAForums (or its predecessors) have been around for quite a while. Compilers exist for GTA3 and Vice City. If Rockstar included the code in the game, even without linking to it in their scripts, they must have known it was going to be unlocked. I'm impressed at how quickly it was done.

I just read more closely...

[supersocialist]

...and the rumor that was debunked seems to be the one about "GTA:LCS"--

What we heard: Early in the week, some of those sitting on the fence about buying a PSP probably got pushed off. The tipping point was a batch of "leaked" GTA: LCS images (pictured), which showed what looked like both online and ad hoc multiplayer options for the PSP game. One screen also showed menu for team-based action, with each side taking the role of one of the gangs from GTA III. The screens also showed pictures of Carl "CJ" Jo

Not True? Sure

[didgyd]

Everyone seems to have jumped on the not-true bandwagon awfully quick. The mini-game sex animations are all in the game data, and the voice actors even did the voice acting for them. Among all this disbelief I posted a quick video at http://www.gtasanandreas.net/news/index.php/ [gtasanandreas.net] with a video that should disprove any doubt.

Re:Not True? Sure

[MBraynard]

They showed it on G4's Attack of the Show last week.

Update the Story on Slashdot Please

[pnice]

Link to gamespot and get crap for information. At least the updated their info...now Slashdot needs to do the same.

[UPDATE] Initially, UK Resistance pointed out that many of the graphics look "awful and amateur," so RC gave it a "probably bogus" determination. But over the weekend, they were sent "evidence" from Gtasanandreas.net that the hack was "real," evidence that was even more mature in nature. So while its origins are unclear, there is a San Andreas sex minigame out there.

Liberty City LIARZZZZZ

[babylonian007]

Not only did GameSpot misreport the sex minigame, they were also somewhat wrong about the GTA screenshots. Yes, those pictures of the PSP running the game are fake, but there are real magazine scans out there. http://www.psp411.com/show/news/265/0/First_Grand_ Theft_Auto__Liberty_City_Stories_Screenshots.html [psp411.com]

Is this it?

[CriminalNerd]

The question we all have to be asking about each other is: Is this what GTA means to us? Just some dumb game that we would like to have an extra sex sim in? Sure, the target group will most likely be interested, but I think the average player didn't buy GTA to get a sex sim. Don't you all think so?
I never personally like the series in general, but I think it is an awesome game in its own respect and other players would think so too. If I wanted to buy GTA, I wouldn't buy it because there's an unlockable sex
