Laughable from SONY. Funny how SONY never had issues with a Police Officer having his head cut in half by a shovel in RE7
First they came for the anime tiddies, and I did not speak out - because I only played AAA western games.
Then they came for the horror game violence, and I did not speak out - because I couldn't stomach the unsettling scenes.
Then they came for their original fans who felt betrayed by their newer products, and I did not speak out - because I shill TLOU2.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
Visage actually was censored on the PS5 if I remember correctly. Don’t want to spoil anything, but it was a certain death scene near the end of one of the chapters that was removed I think. I never played it on PS5 to confirm it, but I saw a video of the edited part.Visage, the horror game, starts with your character shooting an entire family, including kids. Isn't that disturbing? Who decides what it is disturbing enough to deserve censorship? I'm not saying Visage should be censored, but that censorship seems arbitrary.
Little bitch move from Sony, I'm with Jaffe on this. Pathetic.
- It’s not a baby
- It’s a grown woman
- It’s a dream/nightmare scenario
That Tweet is emblematic of the entire problem with Twitter. In the mini-game you cut off your dead adult sister's face in a nightmare sequence and wear it. The main character is mistaken for her twin, who just committed suicide, by their mother and the main character just goes along with the charade because her mother hated her, but loved her dead sister. Twitter is full of idiots who kind of know a bit about something but make shit up so they can constantly exist in a reality-adjacent hellscape where their outrage is justified.
I'm not defending PlayStation... They don't need defending. I'm not a warrior lol. I don't give a flying fuck if a game console manufacturer demands something be changed. You did't even take a second to put any thought into what you wrote. If anyone here gives a shit about content they should ONLY be on PC, no one blocks you from self publishing your content so you can have whatever dumbass serial killer porn you want. Every console has a standards review submission process, this is how it's always been.Mate, you are the console warrior. You would be calling this shit out if it was literally any other console, but since its Playstation you are desperate to defend it.
Now put the game on gamepass for the coup de grace.
This.Sony can release a gore fest like TLOU II but censors other developers games.
Don’t play TLoU2 then. This is nothing in comparison.That is pretty horrible.
So this too much but TLoU2 gets a pass? Really Sony? Because they aren’t an owned studio it is not okay? Fuck right off. Hypocrisy at its finest from Sony.
10 pages for a game that 90% of the people that complain for the censorship will never buy it and did not know that it existed prior to this thread. I think you all will survive if a 1 min scene is not there in a game that will take couple hours to finish and this outrageous behaviour you blame all day that happens at resetera and Twitter it seams you embrace it and are part of it.
Don’t play TLoU2 then. This is nothing in comparison.
Yes the warrior mentality is big in this thread, the big bad sony has censored the integrity of the Dev that wanted just show his art style and his dream project. Go away with your warrior bullshit, they found something they did not like and took it out of the game. The best solution would be a trigger like some people have suggested but just a cut scene is also good enough. They didn't alter completly the Dev work, even though it's something sickening (at least for me).In other words, censorship is ok as long as its not something I like. That warrior mentality is special.

I don't defend anything... What are you talking about. For me it's a non issue and I don't remember skinning anyone at Tlou2. And I found disrupting and unnecessary when I killed the pregnant woman for no apparent reason.Oh you mean they found something they didn't think of first in tlou2? Maybe if games like tlou2 and mk didn't exist, you could argue a better defense for Sony but they do. Your defense is moot.

Its literally one of the most graphically violent and graphically sexual games ever released.What does TLOU 2 have to do with this?
What does TLOU 2 have to do with this? You've got a weird sex scene but overall it isn't that abnormal form typical stuff seen in an action movie. This though.....
This coming from one of the biggest warriors on GAF...
If you read a little bit the thread you would have seen people bashing and "defending" Sony from BOTH Sony and non-Sony fans.
Im only a "warrior" when its criticizing Sony but perfectly normal when criticizing Microsoft lol. Then again, your post history is embarrassing.
Its literally one of the most graphically violent and graphically sexual games ever released.
Notice I specifically mentioned mk as well but only response is to tlou2. Both are graphic games with no censorship.
Again like I said, "its not a problem as long as its not something I like". That warrior mentality
Everyone is immediately making the connection to TLOU2, including a mod here and David Jaffe because its obviously hypocritical. You're just wrong on this one. Like very uncontroversially, obviously wrong.And has no instance of a face slowly being cut off a corpse. This isn't about violence or sex.
You shouldn't be preaching to anyone about the "warrior mentality". I don't play "mk" so I didn't reference it. I did play TLOU 2 and so I did. Either way, you totally dodged the question, warrior.

Its hypocritical. What is the criteria even? Mortal Kombat literally has you rip off faces. TLOU2 goes for max suffering and gore. They referenced car crash photos and war photos to have the most realistic gore to the point it was psychologically impacting the team.I'm wrong because a mod and David Jaffe say so. You need a better argument than that.
Those franchises generate huge amounts of money, so its in their interests to go out on a limb for them.
Also, context and tone are very important. Going full Ed Gein and wearing a family member's face as a mask is pathologically psycho-sexual, as is the act of removing a fetus from a dead person's womb! Especially if these sequences are interactive then you are getting into some far more contentious territory than anything in MK or TLOU2.
Also, the thing people seem to be forgetting is that ESRB ratings don't mean shit in most of the world, and titles still need to be put in front of national regulatory and censorship boards before release. For all we know Sony might have asked one or more such boards for guidance as to how they'd react/rate such content, because if they have a problem then the content is getting cut/proscribed anyway.
Reaching out to head off such issues is not at all uncommon, its basic due-diligence for a publisher.
You mean the post history where I said "fuck you Sony" in this very topic because I hate censorship?
Embarrassing is what you see when you look in a mirror...
Ironically from another warrior. Making a comparison to an action movie doesn't make it any less graphic. So the same argument can't be made for games being as gory as a horror movie? Lol
You guys can't provide no substantial arguments. But again this is from the group who was trying say pedophilia was ok because its legal in other countries when the Sony exec got caught in a pedo sting. So Im basically wasting my time.

The hypocrisy is self evident and barely even needs an explanation. Its like banning the color blue when you have blue in your first party games and Mortal Kombat. I can't simplify the argument any further.
Same hypocrisy exists on sex censorship in multiple games when compared to the far more graphic TLOU2.
They cut off faces and wear it on The Walking Dead on basic cable TV.

lol.....you've got the bans to prove your warrior status. I don't. Horror movies would be a better comparison to this than TLOU 2. That much is obvious.
This is your problem. You think in "groups". You are so tribal it is hilarious. And no, I never made any silly "pedophilia was ok" comments ever. That's your tribalism speaking, warrior.
Which would make The Walking Dead a better comparison. This is a specific act in this game. Again, Sony should not be censoring at all. Leave it to the ESRB to do their job. But no, stop pretending this is the type of thing that happens in TLOU 2. It is not. Factually.
Some people on this forum see things wearing their console war lenses. Trying to push the alternative point with them is basically a pointless venture because they will keep accusing you of "console warring" "defending" BS — that's already been used on you lol. It's an easy way for them to basically dismiss what you might have to say. Just ignore 'em. Save yourself the trouble.I don't defend anything... What are you talking about. For me it's a non issue and I don't remember skinning anyone at Tlou2. And I found disrupting and unnecessary when I killed the pregnant woman for no apparent reason.
That's hilarious coming from you. lolYou've said nothing here. Yet another one trying to derail and bring up a bullshit ban (for saying Sony has no big exclusives this holiday) for a legit criticism.
You guys can't attack the argument so it makes sense to attack the users. I'll make this simple for those who have this obsession with me.
Rather than derail, dm me and arrange to met up just to how much of this energy translates in person.
Oh wow you actually agree against censorship. Still doesn't account for the other 954 shitposts.
Now run along if you're not going to add to the discussion.
