PlayStation censorship

What was the last game Sony censored and do you guys think this will be a more common outcome for Sony or do you think there will be games released uncensored?

Sony may have axed their censorship people after the resetera pedo allegations.

The person who was suspected of being a sony employee an hero'd and called Resetera mods disgusting hypocrits.

Their Linkdin info had them switch departments at sony 3 days later

Big if true. But they lost a lot of good will in that episode.

30 anti-sony retards on Yea Forums is not a lot

You will hardly see anything new. It was noticeable last October/November when then in development games only really had enough time to just remove content options to pass the approval process.

All you'll see that's left are some western releases of Japanese games that came out before the policy was in place in Japan.

The biggest hit recently you could argue would be FFVII's Tifa.

Before that probably Omega Labrynth Life where the developers announced a Sony-version of the game that heavily tones down the fanservice for gaijin (Sony's California HQ is what they're making a mockery of) and Japanese families with kids.

Given how Sony is allegedly going to push for AAA devs for next-gen I can see the continued push for censorship of fanservice games. Just look at Blizzard's recent Hearthstone meltdown where they censored many cards.

Tifa has less to do with Sony and more to do with Squenix's need to create to controversy to create marketing.

Tifa was 100% on Square.

Once these companies start they rarely stop because they gain a following of hardcore supporters and fanboys who defend their every move and if they back track on this it'll damage their brand even more because they'll gain even more people who hate them. So nah I think Sony will double down on this and soon you'll see games like GTA6 censored and it'll be the beginning of the end for Sony.

Most of censored games are weebshit, so who cares lol

how is anti-censorship = anti-sony ?

You should care. I don't play weeb/pedo (kinda the same thing) shit either. But, if they get away with this, it'll just be the start of censoring other shit that you might actually care about.

I mean I understand where you're coming from, but given the fact that Sony is moneyhatting a timed-exclusivity deal, it wouldn't be odd to see in the future that they might've had a hand in it.

You would think their ethics department would've forced Team Ninja to follow the same rules for Dissidia even though it's a 3rd party game.

I wonder what CyberConnect2's TIfa would've looked like if they were still working on the game.

3rd party developed game and not Square Enix in-house*

Cause no one cares when valve or some other company does it

>Mortal Kombat got censored on the SNES resulting in the Genesis version outselling it

If they censor GTA 6, they'll literally be handing sales over to Microsoft.

This new policy is going to last until the PS5 is released and starts flopping (whether it happens remains to be seen).

To be precise they only make censorship threads with those specific image macros of PS games. So even if they wanted to brainwash the masses it wouldn't be effective because the evidence wasn't impartial.

This

Of course it's not going to flop. Westerns have no sense of identity or individualism. They define themselves by "things" they use and like. They form allegiances to companies and products. The PlayTrannies here will buy the next PlayStation even if it comes with 500 MB of RAM and a 350 MHz processor. They don't care. It's about their identity which is tied in with Sony products.

Fair enough. That's pretty much why I said it remains to be seen. But remember that Sony thought they were too big to fail when the PS2 was a massive success, then the PS3 happens.

Though I suppose it does happen to everyone whether it was MS fucking up the Xbone out of the gate or Nintendo shitting the bed with the Wii U.

Valves censorship is banning literally lolicon from their store .
Xbox i dont know i dont care i have never bought their console nor i think i will .
Nintendo is the companie the you would expect to pull this kind of BS but god damn turns out they are actually doing what sony should be doing , leaving the "censorship" to the rating systems

>zoomers too young to fucking remember people turning on the PS3 and then Xbone for both making stupid as fuck decisions

Agreed. We'll have to see how it turns out. If people weren't sheep and actually put some thought in their purchases they'd all move to PC and be done with it. But, that's neither here nor there and not relevant to the point.

The only way I can see it flopping (potentially) is if it releases with an exceptionally high price point.

Fucking this. Jesus, it wasn't that long ago. Sony got btfo by violently over pricing the PS3.
However, I think they remember that lesson and I think they know why PS4 blew up so huge. Censorship of anime tiddy games nobody plays isn't going to get the general public to turn on them. If PS5 fails it'll be for some other fuck up, or MS beating them out of the gate in a compelling way.

Since they're in California now, most likely. Say, anyone know if this controller us a scam or not? It's cheap which makes me concerned.

They are stealthily dropping it, they received enough complaints from everyone that they are now phasing it out.
This thing was a sudden issue by the SoA higher ups because they were fearing soccer moms would complain that their fortnite kids were playing on a porno box
This caused cancellations and delays not only on external projects but also on internal projects, Last of Us 2 was supposed to come out this year but because of the new policies they had to redo a lot of scenes to be less explicit and now it's a 2020 title, it also put a huge strain on the California office because they were suddenly tasked with inspecting hundreds of games from all over the world and there was no manpower for it and worst of them all the guidelines that higher ups gave them were vague as fuck, making a lot of people pissed off internally and externally.

>Dude, trust me

Kekka Dake Da!

>They are stealthily dropping it, they received enough complaints from everyone that they are now phasing it out.

Source? Bait if not.

>This thing was a sudden issue by the SoA higher ups because they were fearing soccer moms would complain that their fortnite kids were playing on a porno box

Which they shouldn't be afraid of because all kids play is Fortnite and M rated titles such as GTA, Red Dead Redemption 2, Battlefield, and COD. Kids don't know about Senran Kagura, Omega Labryinth, or other niche titles.

I call bullshit. Sony probably doesn't care about the content TLOU2 but if a Japanese game had same content as TLOU2, Sony would go on their racist fit to censor the game.

If go woke go broke remains tried and tested then yes, eventually as their sjw like behavior increases. sales will take a hit. hopefully their demographic of people who enjoy video games is still significant enough compared to normies who want a hulu and netflix box for their tv.
