''Hot Coffee'' is a normally inaccessible mini-game in the 2004 video game ''Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas'', developed by Rockstar North. Public awareness of the existence of the mini-game arrived with the release of the ''Hot Coffee'' mod, created for the Microsoft Windows port of ''GTA: San Andreas'' in 2005. This mod enables access to the mini-game. The mini-game portrays crudely animated sexual intercourse between the main character, Carl "CJ" Johnson, and his chosen in-game girlfriend. The name of the mod is derived from the girlfriend's offer for the main character to come into her home for "coffee", a euphemism for sex. Although the "Hot Coffee" mini-game was completely disabled and its existence was only highlighted after the mod's release for the PC version on June 9, 2005,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Hot Coffee mod developer's mod listing )〕 the assets for the mini-game were also discovered in both the PlayStation 2 and Xbox versions of the game, and people found ways to enable the mini-game via console video game hacking tools. By the middle of July 2005, the mini-game's discovery attracted considerable controversy from lawmakers and politicians, prompting the game to be re-rated as an adult game, and pulled from most shelves. An updated version of ''San Andreas'' has since been released with the mini-game removed completely, allowing the game to regain its original rating. A patch for the original version of the game, Cold Coffee, was designed to counter edit the script and disable the mini-game and crash the game if one attempts to access it.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 No More Hot Coffee )〕 == Mini-game overview and ''Hot Coffee'' mod == During the course of the main plot of the game, the player (as main character Carl "CJ" Johnson) may date up to six girlfriends, carrying out various "date missions" in order to improve his relationship with a particular girl. Once Carl has become particularly close to a girlfriend (or if Carl has collected all the game's oyster pick-ups), she may end a successful date by inviting him into her house for "coffee," from which Carl may choose to accept or decline. Improving relationships with girlfriends through successful dates and other related activities will eventually reward CJ with new items (vehicles and special wardrobes), along with pre-existing game-play benefits (e.g. dating a nurse grants the character free visits to the hospital, without losing his weapons, after dying). In the unmodified version of San Andreas, the player sees an exterior view of the girlfriend's house while hearing the muffled voices of Carl and his girlfriend as they engage in sexual intercourse. However, the ''Hot Coffee'' modification replaces this with a mini-game which allows the player to actually enter the girlfriend's bedroom and control Carl's actions during sex with the same controls as dancing. Rockstar Games, the publisher of the ''Grand Theft Auto'' series, initially denied allegations that the mini-game was "hidden" in the video game, stating that the ''Hot Coffee'' modification (which they claim violated the game's End User Licence Agreement) is the result of "hackers" making "significant technical modifications to and reverse engineering" the game's code.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 'Grand Theft' maker blames hackers for sex scenes )〕 However, this claim was undermined when the user known as "gothi" from PS2 Save Tools released the "GTA : SA Censor Remover" for PS2 and Xbox in June 2005 which allowed the scenes to be accessed in each of the console versions. These new methods of accessing "Hot Coffee" demonstrated that the controversial content was, indeed, built into the console versions as well. The PC mod itself is actually just an edited copy of the game script files with a single bit changed. The mod was also made possible on the console versions, by changing the bit inside a user's saved game file or by using a third-party modding device. Take-Two has stated that the mod constitutes a violation of the End User License Agreement,〔(Take-Two Games - Investor Relations General Information )〕 even though modification of the main.scm file is common within the mod community. The oral sex animations are however clearly visible in the background of an early mission, "Cleaning the Hood", even in the re-released game. This may explain why the mini-game was not simply removed when the decision was made to cut it from the game: its assets were in use elsewhere.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 My Take On "Hot Coffee" )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hot Coffee mod」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
