Boy nobody made a big deal of this when Capcom did it over a dozen times now. Maybe this time it will get the corporate suits to not shit their pants over blood and gore, but it is tradition and as such it incredibly hard to break.

Assuming you meant the Biohazard/Resident Evil games being heavily censored in Japan because of the CERO rating board, yeah it sucks and CERO is quite butthurt over sexuality and violence. We're talking about the same classification rating board that still prevents decapitation on +18 titles (the Z rating) or not allowing bare legs and boob windows on all-ages games (A rating)

However there is a huge difference between:
-a japanese publisher/dev team censoring something in order to comply with the japanese classification rating board (to obtain the desired rating)
-Sony America forcing japanese publisher/dev team to comply with "american/western sensibilities" (whatever do they mean) in addition to the japanese classification rating board

The second point is a far bigger issue especially when there is an obvious bias against japanese games as a whole while western games just have a free pass.
Again, the article pretty much states the arm-less character was given the okay by CERO but SIE simply opposed to it.

Except most gore stuff is cut out of games like TLOU2 and God of War, western devs have to comply to CERO as well because the games are released there too.

Fromsoft has zero human dismemberment in all their games, animal gore is perfectly fine though which is why Sekiro had the giant ape because giant apes are not people. You can get away with things that way.

We already did more or less the same argument a few times in the past before. TLOU2 and GoW are censored in Japan to comply with the japanese rating board

BUT

those games aren't censored in America, the source of those games, so an american can enjoy as they are and a japanese westaboo is given the choice to import them. While SIE California actively censor japanese games on the platform straight to the source, meaning the japs and weebs have no alternative except an eventual multiplatform release on Nintendo.

I get it's hard to understand since you're the official Sony bitch of the forum but ご理解ください

Except they're doing it to adhere to CERO's standards which are set by the Japanese themselves. It's so they don't have to waste time just redoing the submission and making the changes which would have happened anyways because they're trying to sell the game to children. If they wanted to go for the upper rank's of Cero's rating system then there's more leeway for argument on why this stuff should be allowed. You think western karens are bad, asian ones are far worse, and little Shinji can't see a man lose his arm or get his guts ripped out, because that would remind him of the war crimes that the Chinese baselessly accuse his ancestors of.

Looks like the SJWs have found themselves a new witch to burn. On Friday, Liam Robertson, a blue-checkmarked contributor to the YouTube channel DidYouKnowGaming, sent the signal targeting Troy Leavitt, a lead designer for the upcoming Harry Potter game Hogwarts Legacy, for the crime of having made YouTube videos several years ago in opposition in to the woke orthodoxy.

Naturally, game journalists have been spurred to ruinous action, Kotaku's Ian Walker just having made his shot before the weekend is even over.

Unfortunately, even though he already told his employer about the videos before, I believe that he is more likely to get imminently fired than not, and it won't even appease the witch-hunters who will still attack the game all the same for the association with their devil J.K. Rowling.

This guy needs to start shit and claim he's starting shit instead of acting like a pussy. Can't wait for the article where they find degenerate porn or other weird shit on his computer.

I hope that guy ain't in trouble: lead designers keep shit together and firing one midway is more hassle than anything. This is why you shouldn't even bother to distance yourself from terf queen rowling, they'll hate you for random shit no matter what unless you canceled the game completely unfortunately.

Lame. If its only Japan its understandable since their moral panic is still stronger than ours, but if its both then fuck off. At least I know more sjws into gore that would totally shriek at this and pretend that not censoring would be freezepeach instead of their fetish being hidden.

As of current it's only rated for Cero and there's no ESRB rating. There may not be a western version because it's not the type of fighter that's popular in the west. There's still other Demon Slayer games coming down the pipes though so we may get a proper big boy real game out of one of them. Zombie Land Saga Revenge and other series seem to be next in line, but I'm dreading if it's a rhythm type game because those will be painful to play if they're made by an inexperienced team(and I mean physically painful, I've played my fair share of indie games of the same ilk and they've literally tuned them to one person on the dev team's skill and even he can't play it right 70% of the time and just got lucky once).

There is however a cultural shift that's happening, Newt Gingrich went full 1488 on Fox today talking about anti-white racism and securing america's future so that it's safe for white children and how corporations and schools need to be sent a message. So it seems we're in for quite a ride.

CERO doesn't matter for non-japanese versions.

They may do what bandai did and restore the visible missing limbs for the characters for the western version, but the arena fighters are one of those genres where we never get every installment. Currently there's nothing on this game even being brought over. So it's not looking likely it's going to be simultaneous release. More than likely they're going to use the western VAs if it's getting released outside Japan. Or they do what Re:Zero did at launch had to get the western VAs patched into it. Currently they only have plans for a Japan and Asia release for it.

The photos in that fucking article is the kinda content pedos buy on dark internet...
Wokeness is a terminal disease.

Edit: feel free to throw shit at me if I EVER say something nice about Liana again
 
Apparently Resetera started the whole "Sony is censoring blood and gore story"

Well possibly, it's what all the fingers are being pointed to at this point, this is the supposed order of events

The original article is actually about what the devs are going to do with the upcoming Kimetsu no Yaiba demon slayer game, as the manga and anime features tons of gore and dismemberment, even in Japan.

The answer is vague, but they state that first they will develop the game to target an appropriate CERO rating. So seen as Kimetsu is very popular with kids this suggests they will aim for a CERO rating with a low age restriction.

Then they tailor the game to meet rules set by the platform holder. Using Sony as an example, they said Naruto was censored by adding someone's missing arm back, but that Dragonball Karakot Z was NOT censored as it featured a key scene where someone's limb was cut off. So they say it is a case by case thing determined by various circumstances.

Finally, the japanese article ends by saying that there is already some public concern in Japan over the naming of the next Kimetsu no Yaiba series (not the game that is in development) as it is basically called 'The Red Light District Chapter'.

Anyway Game journalists who can't read japanese followed the resetera thread and went full retard and the western clickbait people followed them

Oh and Jim Ryan got dragged out because of all of this

Starting March 25th everyone with a PS4 gets a free month of the Crunchyroll App or something.

It makes sense for Kimetsu no Yaiba because part of the whole demon slaying is that you either pump them full of poison or slice their head off and they have ways to keep that from happening.

Also Gematsu link on this. Pretty much Fuck Sony and I have to agree with them. Talk is fucking cheap.

Was Gematsu was one of the outlets who went by the info gathered by resetera? I'm pretty sure they re-edited it, it says nothing about the demon slayer thing and it's the Jim Ryan interview. Which was nothing because the Konami deal isn't apparently done which was what Japan Studio was to assist with.

I want my Silent Hill.

I was talking about the response to Jim's PR bullshit, not Demon Slayer censorship.

Yeah well that's typical for him, Jim Ryan has always been an empty corporate suit but he's not an ideologue. My best guess is that the main HQ from sony told him to say that. He probably just cares about the numbers which by all accounts don't warrant him being fired like what happened with those who ran the PS3 launch, but it wasn't his branch that just dumped a shitload of money into Crunchyroll and the Kadokawa deal, both of those were the main company itself. That's Jim Ryan's boss who decided to go through with the anime IP purchases, so they greatly supersede him.

Liana isn't anti sjw. There never was a time where she didn't suck troon cock and supported child transing.

She loves this deranged shit.

Ironically, troons love to cancel her.

She was at least willing to engage with the opposing views (she even promoted OAG when he did a coverage for her), unlike Anita who forever remained stuck in the echo chamber.
But yeah, promoting child drag queens is where I draw the line.

That's why they like trying to cancel her. She was willing to talk to people from outside the cult, and that's haram. Even though she was always up to her elbows in woke shit and never made any efforts to leave.

yeah, remember how she supported Zoe before the hive casted her out so she basically had to start her own clique (which is 90% male, funny enough)? Sadly, her channel became a typical "This Week on Twitter" and mental illness sperging
