Whore of the Orient targeting 2015

Team Bondi = Bad Luck Brian

Well if you can get a full refund on a game because you find getting baptized offensive then god knows what people will make of this game.The title alone has "law suite written all over it."

A title like that is just asking for trouble.

Brendan Mcnamara is the new Peter Molyneaux. LA Noire was a massive disappointment. So much effort in some parts and none in others.

I'll be keeping my eye on this one.

Sounds like a lawsuit in the making Way to go team Bondi.. Well maybe not...

the title itself is already a marketing stratagem, now this article made me curious about the La Noire which I was not interested, I think I will check it out and see if the game studio who made it is indeed running towards a good quality of gaming of just hyping their enslated game.

The game will be renamed "Woman of dubious morals of the Orient".

The name sounds like a DLC mission pack.

Because the ESRB isn't going to have a hernia when it reads that title.

Those of you complaining about the name may not have the due respect for what the team is trying to do here.  LA Noire was largely about advancing the media of games as a story telling device.  This game will clearly strive to move that needle even further.  Many movies and albums have provacative names and that is widely accepted.  This game is aimed at adults and the title reflects that.  They should NOT alter their art for the sake of appealing to a wider audience. 

Interested, definitely.

nice title!

I think its gonna be an awesome game just like la noire. Love the time setting and if people know their history then they will understand the title. Even though it might not have anything to do with whores or brothels etc, and could just be a name of some place, in reality that time was full of such places and it was definitely not like today. So for me it makes sense. Hell so as long as the title is fine the rest can be about anything? Like fifty shades of grey? Anyways great news.

i wish this next game from team bondi good luck, hoping it turns out a good game like la noire, i'll buy it when it comes out if reviews are favorable

I love it. I've always wondered what the layperson, so far as Team Bondi devs can be considered as laypersons, think of concession territories in the Far East. I guess a little like Green Zones, but we'll see.

Wow, already this game sounds more interesting than almost anything that has come out in the last 2 years!

If the game was called "Blood and Guts" or " Bullet in the Head" no one would say thing. Americans are so weird.

Sooo, I would have to order this online, yes?

I am sure the name has some connection to the game. It has a certain style (more like a move title) which makes sense for this team. It also does the job of getting you to wonder what this game is about. People just love to look for any excuse to be offended. How could the name of a video game you have no real information about and that has nothing to do with you offend you? If your going to let the name of video game stop you from buying it so be it. But, there is no reason to whine about how you are offended.

Thanks Eddie

lol the title got me interested in reading :D

Looks interesting.

Excited for this. Need a solid PC release.

I love the title, its pretty ballsy to put words like that in the box of a product, i hope the game can succeed like L.A. Noire did.

I hate the title, but I am very curious how this turns out.

want it! LA Noire was great.

2015, we might as well be talking about the next presidential election. Oh wait, thats already happening -_-

L.A. Noire was an awesome game, so I'm really excited for this one. 

Why do people think it will offend shangai people? The game is set 80 years ago, and it brings out an interesting period. Personally, i think the name is bad. There is no personality to it. But thats my opinion.

Sounds like an interesting premise. I'm looking forward to it, although you know it's going to come under fire from the media simply because of its name. I hope they stick to their guns and don't change it. This would be a victory akin to actresses being allowed to show a 'little ankle' in movies.

Sounds interesting but 2015 is a long time away - enough time for a lot to change but I feel like I'm in the minority when I tell people I loved la noire even though that beautiful noir world was actually very lifeless and I feel like that held back the game. I loved how they used mo cap actors from mad men too that was neat!!! Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to watch The Maltese Falcon...

Love the title, hope it makes a certain group rage lol. Anyways, I really loved L.A. Noire, so I'm looking forward to this.

@ pretty much everyone: Their last title was innocuous, so I'm sure this title has a reason for being there, not just to garner attention. It will probably end up being the name of an artifact, a ship, or something else really boring. The game itself sounds highly intriguing.

i cant imagine a game with that title getting very good reception on store shelves in the US, or anywhere really.. except maybe in Adult Bookstores... but seriously, LA Noire was a pretty cool game, i'd definitely give it a look regardless of the title...

Yeah... this will definitely go down really, really well with all the Chinese people everywhere
