If you think the words “sexy” and “Wii” in the same sentence are strange, wait until you see the trailer for Ubisoft’s newest game, ‘We Dare’.<\/p>\n
If you follow me on Twitter<\/a> (and you really should; I talk about videogames, ice cream and the combination of the two), you’ve probably seen this video already. In fact, this seems to have been posted, Tweeted and blogged by everyone at all involved with videogames, and plenty who aren’t.<\/p>\nRemember the ‘Dead Island’ trailer<\/a>? ‘We Dare’ is the opposite. Instead of being exciting and cool, and leaving me with feelings of hope, I just feel the need to shower afterwards. It’s… well, watch it<\/a> and then we’ll talk. Oh, and stick around to the end of the video and click on the “parental codes” at the end for a few bonus endings.<\/p>\n<\/param><\/param><\/param><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\nAll right, so that was weird, wasn’t it? A sexy party game for the Wii just doesn’t seem right. Neither does kissing a controller that some dude’s sweaty hands have been shaking around. Neither does anything else going on in this video.<\/p>\nReady for more strangeness? ‘We Dare’, which at this time is only slated for a European release, has a rating of PEGI-12. That’s the equivalent of PG-13.<\/p>\nI’m not a big fan of censorship in any form, and I’m aware that the in-game content is cartoony and friendly. Still, a game where the object is to have someone put a Wii remote down the back of their pants while you spank them doesn’t seem totally appropriate for 6th graders. Nor does the apparent strip tease section.<\/p>\nNow look, I get it. The game is made for grown-ups who want to have grown-up fun. I worked at a Wizards of the Coast retail store back when those existed. In addition to selling ‘Magic’ and ‘Pok\u00e9mon’ cards, ‘D&D’ books and videogames, we had those adult games that couples pick up around Valentine’s Day.<\/p>\nI personally can’t imagine this game ever actually helping a party be more entertaining or instigating that three-, four-, or five-way you’ve always been secretly hoping for. If anything, it seems like a bit of a buzz-kill. It’s manufactured fun that’s cutesy and weird, but it’s not like the Wii is a stranger to awful games.<\/p>\nI have absolutely nothing against ‘We Dare,’ aside from the fact that Ubisoft completely forgoes the obvious choice to spell “We” as “Wii.” It’s just that when something like this comes out on a system widely regarded as being a console for kids, things get a little strange. It gets even worse if this game gets picked up by the TV news.<\/p>\nImagine if ‘We Dare’ gets a spotlight on the 24 hour news channels with their “shoot first and ask questions never” style of reporting. No, I’m not just picking on Fox News here, though I’d imagine Glenn Beck would have plenty to say about how the Wii will lead to the downfall of America.<\/p>\nWhoa, got a little heavy there, didn’t it? Well, then I leave you with a link to a video that’s only semi-related<\/a>. It’s ‘Shaun of the Dead’ in the style of ‘Dead Island’. (Thanks for the link, Josh!)<\/em> After watching the ‘We Dare’ trailer a few times, you’ll need a bit of a palette cleanser.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If you think the words “sexy” and “Wii” in the same sentence are strange, wait until you see the trailer for Ubisoft’s newest game, ‘We Dare’.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":12274,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[144],"tags":[1812,2364,2414,4,2413,286],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12272"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12272"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12272\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":36514,"href":"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12272\/revisions\/36514"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12274"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12272"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12272"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12272"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
