Those are first wave, the first waves always die once communists become established.

It's trojan horse level shit with all their initiatives.
I mean they're actively being made and/or are recent. I don't think you can put your game on Steam without Tencent's approval either since they run it over there don't they? I think communists are already established regarding the Steam front.

They've mostly made shovelware at this point. It's still at the stage where they're throwing shit at the wall and seeing what sticks and GI is the only game to do that thus far.

They don't have any large international franchises on par with what already exists.
 
Duke Nukem licence should be given to the guys who made Pathologic
I too would not say no to letting the strange Russians at Icepick (is it even around still?) take a crack at the Dukester. The end result would certainly be... different.

>russian soul dook
couldn't even imagine what it would look like, but probably with a lot of desaturation. never knew I wanted it till now.
50/50 chance we get squatting slavs in adidas stripes and a lot of hard bass instead tho.
 
I'm surprised this wasn't posted sooner.

The PS4 release of Doki Doki Literature Club Plus was censored.

What could they have possibly censored?

The fucking cartoon blood.
 
Safer than being on Sony platforms at the moment.
Besides the matter of censorship, it's apparently very hard to get in touch and do basic business stuff with SIE according to the leak from indies this July.
Coincidentally, there is also another recent story of the Solatorobo/Tail Concerto developer having issues with Playstation not allowing pre-orders for his game while the problem isn't present on other platforms
No preorders for Fuga on Playstation.png

Other games from small studios such as Ender Lillies, Metallic Child, Super Zangurya were previously reported to be delayed on Playstation while the Switch and PC versions are released fine.

My favorite part is how the blood in the animated scene is black goo only to be reverted back to red in the illustration a few seconds after.
What the hell Sony seriously.

They got the dev kits later it seems and vita certification now takes longer since it's a legacy system. The two pipelines mentioned in the article is normal when you have two concurrent systems out. PS3 and PS4 had similar stuff within the first few years they were both current. Same with PS2 and PS3. Sony being harder to contact isn't anything new, that was one of the issues many had with the PS1 and devs needing documentation.

Censorship only gets played up at media outlets and it's only really been visual novels that's been affected. They kinda fuck themselves when they scream censorship and it's just a visual novel that's had incredibly minor changes. At this point every major company has taken a swipe at the false genre, Xbox booted a bunch off of platforms, Steam has banned buttloads, Sony and Nintendo both altered content.

Consider PS5 already has train sims out for it (and not only that but western releases of them), the system is already on track to meet the sales expectations of it's precursors and offering the same variety of games. It's well past the PS3's sales numbers of the same time frame, so there's no chance at having a new low point.

2D drawings can't bleed blood, ink is more realistic. besides it's not censorship

It's revenge

It's really because VNs have such a low standing that it doesn't matter what territory they come from they're viewed as trash. You don't think that one being so heavily grafted on by trannies wouldn't be put past some extra scrutiny since assigned advisors when you're dealing with a large publisher are randomly put on each job.

Meanwhile from an indie dev whose games I’ve actually heard of…

Oh yeah, there was a State of Play showing off mostly indies. Considering the gaymers were crying about a lack of indie support, I wonder how they felt about it…

Hard to take the gaming community seriously when it’s drowning with fanboys, hypocrisy, and washed up journalists. Indie games like Kena are the most promising games of the year, but most of the people allegedly wanting better indie support won’t buy it.
 
There's also the fact that the switch can't run UE4 properly and their new model doesn't remedy that in the slightest. Square Enix is already using UE5 for Dragon Quest 12, so you're going to be dealing with large swaths of games being generally unable to run on a main piece of hardware. UE5 is not geared towards the switch in the slightest, there's no specific options for it outside of build publishing formats. It's going to hit a wall within the next year or so where anything with unreal engine is going to be a no-go. Many indie devs use Unity or Unreal and having the hardware crap out on you because of the engine not being able to play nice on the system is going to have a far more widespread effect.

Considering that even re-releases like Legend of Mana had issues with the switch version, it's showing that they really cut too many corners with the system's guts.
 
Don't you fucking dare take them away from Darksiders.

They need to finish that series before doing anything else because I WILL NOT BE BLUEBALLED ON THAT SERIES.
Only if they go back to the Zelda meets God of War style of the first. I HATED the Diablo-esque "54 variants of the same weapon in random drops" shit of II and III's "trying to be Dark Souls".

I dunno, I kind of Dig the idea that each Horseman is getting their own Genre. 3 Got a lot better once they added real Iframes to the Arcane Counter attacks so that you can use them and not get fucked in the ass.

That was how it used to work but very recently Steam China was established (With a whopping 80 games on it) and it's only a matter of time until the real steam with all the Chinese independent developers gets banned.
