I was almost certain that a censorship patch was incoming following the "Hard R" nonsense, so while this isn't completely unexpected it's still frustrating and disappointing to see them censor the game like this before it's even released. Goddammit.
This leaves Bloodborne as the only game worth considering spending my money on.
While it could be worse, this is still disappointing.
Let's hope they don't cave in to further demands.
They will. Shift Up is a second party studio of Soyny now, meaning that they're a step away from joining the ranks of their first party studios that produce AAA goyslop such as santa monica and insomniac.
They had gotten better, but I still expected this. And it confirms my memories that they reduced jiggle effects for Stellar Blade from the very first announcement trailer of Project Eve to the announcement that it would be a Sony exclusive. People even said the boobs look reduced from then, too, so that's probably true as well. Shift Up just wears down as it goes. They supposedly lost the guy behind Destiny Child's art and he said so long as he was at Shift Up there'd be no censorship. Guess that turned out to be true.
Koreans, but yes, fuck those guys too. They've been caving too as of late.
Damn right, the jiggle was much more pronounced in the announcement trailer:
Less than 5 seconds into the trailer you can see Eve's ass straight up
Bounce. Looking at the PS5 demo though, it's much harder to notice it. Furthermore, I can't help but note that the outfit she was wearing here in the trailer isn't anywhere in the outfit showcase in the last page, which has me wondering if they got rid of it or if they're re-packaging it as dlc. Another thing I consider worth pointing out is that the game punishes you for wearing the skin suit. According to the developer, if you wear the skin suit, you'll take more damage because it disables the shields that give you damage reduction.
This is the third time in recent memory where a game has had a retroactive censorship patch. The first was FF7R where they censored Tifa's cleavage, second was the Tomb Raider I-III Remaster that removed several pin ups of Lara, and from what I've heard, also shrunk her breasts. Now there's this.
Alright, fuck this. I'll just wait until the game comes to pc and for modders to fix everything, then grab a pirated copy. In the meantime, I'm going to try playing my pirated copies of the Bayonetta trilogy, see how it goes.
I fucking
hate the modern gaming industry.
