How amusing these games might seem... I always get a bit naucious when i think about the team making the game itself..
Hikikomoris designing little schoolgirls and maids and letting them dance in an Idolm@ster ero clone is genious yet freaky.

This has way less uncanny valley factor to it than iDOLM@STER does. I'd hope they find something else to use this tech with because it actually does look good. I didn't see any clipping and the hair and designs don't look flaky in movement. It's very fluid.

They look WAY too old for a hentai game.

I played the demo of this game last night. Great way to get your iDOLM@STER time while seeing panty shots as much as you want.

This further proves why the japanese don't need Xbox 360... since even a small studio can release a better copycat game... to the niche market

LOL a friend linked me the benchmark demo a couple of days ago. I ran it a thought it was kinda pointless. This article is the first time I've heard that it was a hentai game. Maybe it isn't so pointless after all. ;)

I just watched the Angry video game nerd's video about atari porn and I must say, video game porn has come a long way.

@0ldb0y:

The frame rate just depends on how beefy your PC hardware is, just like pretty much every other PC game out there.

Graphics are impressive but there's something very unsettling seeing anime characters move so realistically. It's like watching those crazy people who were anime masks. It's just flat out creepy.

Sign me up for two though.

God saves us from a US release of Idolmaster.

Not because i dont like it, it because im very sure that it will filled with US pop songs... and renamed as "High School Musical: Japan Tour".

Seems the TimeLeap benchmark mirrors are swamped with Kotakuites wanting to download it...
Holyseal lists 18 mirrors, and on all I only got pitiful 15kb/s tops (if they were responding at all).
Only on the before last I finally got decent speeds.

Looks nice, but not quite as good as Idol M@ster...
oh, and I prefer the school uniforms over the maid outfits.

This didn't make nearly as much impact as I thought it would... You'd think that it'd be prime fanboi bait, and yet the 2ch threads on the game are as dead as ever post-launch, and Im@s threads brushed on it for about 3 hours tops.

eroge benchmark programs... why does this not surprise me at all? After finding out it was a benchmark program I had to 'test' my system, I need to do some tuning and not rebooting this week might be causing some issues but I ended up with 67 fps, so not too shabby

YotaruVegeta — Fri, 24 Aug 2007 06:11:22 MDT

Yeah, Eternal Cowboy! Girls and sex get in the way of nerdy activities. You tell 'em!

I've never been interested in playing an erotic game, but I still like the idea of it.

TheEternalCowboy — Fri, 24 Aug 2007 05:58:02 MDT

I'd hate to be a stickler about appellations, but I hardly consider THE iDOLM@STER and things of that ilk to be "nerd" territory. That statement may even be a slight to nerds everywhere! Being bookish, ridiculously into fantasy or having an affinity for science and math is one thing, but digging prepubescent girls in erotic cosplay is something QUITE different.

No, think of the erotic PC game as an expansion.

I've got an expansion... IN MY PANTS!

Go My Way? C'mon Bashcraft... That's the worst song in the entire game! Everyone knows Aoi Tori is the bestest (actually, I like Watashi ha Aidoru, but whatever).

otimus — Fri, 24 Aug 2007 05:00:50 MDT

I wish Idolm@ster would come to the USA. Too bad the american 360 audience is too mentally handicapped to handle something that niche... and too bad no one is brave enough to take the loss.

Channing — Fri, 24 Aug 2007 04:56:33 MDT

Hm, if I'm not mistaken, in Idolm@ster there's one part where you demonstrate what a chikan would do. You have to use the correct creepy laugh and also you fondle the girl.
Maybe I'm thinking of a different game. Hell, I could be talking about ANY game at this point.

Will we have any more epic game lines in Japan after the PS3s blown Chinese and homeless line skippers and then the Otaku-gari who would feed on a line of poor, defenseless line-waiting otaku like Pacman on dots?

Ashcraft, I demand that you go to Square-Enix and demand that Arakawa's Full Metal Alchemist gets animated by Madhouse or Production I.G.

It would make things like this hurt less. Run Ashcraft run!
