Frank:A porn video game? It can't be done. Look, Tre, history's greatest perverts have tried — Walt Disney, Larry Flynt, the Japanese — but they can't do it, because of the Uncanny Valley.
Let me show you something. Check out this chart. You see, as artificial representations of humans become more and more realistic, they reach a point where they stop being endearing and start being creepy. …
Tre: Tell it to me in Star Wars.
Frank: All right. We like R2D2 and C3PO … and up here, we have a real person, like Han Solo. … But down here, we have a CGI Stormtrooper or Tom Hanks in the Polar Express.
Tre: I'M SCARED! Get me out of there!
Frank: That's the problem. You're in the Valley now, and it's impossible to get out.
Tre: That's where you're wrong.
I was born to design a video game where characters get weird with each other for golden points. My genius will not be denied.
Let's hope there's a real genius out there saying the same thing.
