E3 2011: Far Cry 3 dev: "Games flirt with vulgarity. If done incorrectly, they become pornography"

Ubisoft Montreal's Jason Vandernberghe has been talking to PC Gamer about how games deal with mature content. Far Cry 3 is set to be an M-rated game when it releases next year, but the narrative designer stressed the badge doesn't give developers reason to pack games full of filth. He also hinted Far Cry 3 might be more of a cerebral experience than gamers who spent FC2 burning everything might expect.

"A lot of games flirt with vulgarity. And I think if done incorrectly, vulgarity becomes pornography. I'm not here to make pornography. I'm here to make an entertaining, mature experience. I think that's our goal and hopefully it comes through. One of the great things about Far Cry is that we're in an environment where anything goes. That said, to me, Far Cry has never been about whether you're going to be good or evil. It's a game about a fairly decent guy who is... not a law-abiding citizen."
