Support NeoGAF

While a lot of us correctly assumed this before, this is the first official confirmation of it being the case.

It's worth noting that XDEV is not a single entity, but rather a global group encompassing three different studio departments across USA (previously known as San Mateo Studio), United Kingdom and Japan.

XDEV Japan is situated inside of Sony Interactive Entertainment Inc. (the Japanese branch operating since 1993), and it was originally established in April 2020 as part of the WWS Japan Studio division, before moving on to the current Japanese branch of PlayStation Studios a year later, when it started to expand its production business in other parts of Asia, including South Korea (Stellar Blade) and China (Lost Soul Aside, Convallaria); with all this information corroborated by both Hermen Hulst and several job listings.

Thankfully it's Xdev Japan.

Imagine if someone from a western Sony studio had to endure the continuous psychological trauma of having to see half naked women

They'd probably need extensive therapy, and it would open up Sony to a lawsuit for PTSD

Show me more of that chunky arse

Hey guys/gals I've decided to boycott this game because of serious red flags against the Xbox criteria for all modern games. I think it's doomed for the exaggerated body proportions and for being unclear how much % of screen presence is held by different gender and racial indentities.

Might have to plug-in my ps5 again to play this.

Meanwhile MS is telling devs to stop making curvy women in their games, you can’t make this shit up

It's going to be interesting to see how the gameplay fares to something like Nier Automata, since it does seem to have some similarities. Or is it going to be its own thing? I would be fine with a next gen Nier clone but I hope Shift Up has some surprises up its sleeve and flesh out the combat in a unique and exciting way.

Thicker than the chance of an Xbox port bruvs

This is a remnant of Studio Japan, along with Team Asobi.
