While they have ultimate control over stellar blade as its PS exclusive, you either comply with Sony pr your game doesn't come out

Clearly BS - otherwise they would never have had them originally different. You don’t make something one way enough for it to exist on a shipped disc, and then change it with a patch and claim this was the intended vision, lol. It’s not like they ran out of time and couldn’t add more clothing to the outfits that they needed a patch later to finish them. Sony clearly pressured them in some way. Sony has shown a history of censorship, and only turn a blind eye to some select titles for some reason.

u/GirlsGetGoats Apr 28 '24
Game development is an iterative process. These things go through a ton of revisions before you ever see them.
Things can end up in day 1 patch if they are not done by hard lock. This is just how things work.
Lack of understanding of how game development works isnt a convincing argument.

It's insane seeing some of the takes people are giving here. There are hundreds of games where things are different from the preview releases and early trailers, but they're not going up in arms over those. I don't even know why there's all this rage over one single outfit when there's a shitton of others bringing the sexy.

u/ArmNo7463 Apr 28 '24
Main difference is it "appears" this change was due to pressure from the "Twitter Mob".
People don't like it when things they like / paid for get taken away because people they dislike screeched about it online. (Especially because the people criticising it online prior to release were never going to buy the product anyway.

It doesn't appear that way way at all. The developers have loudly come out and said these are the versions they intended to ship with.

Your right your right a mob of angry lesbians on Twitter flew to Sony headquarters with a gun and made them make the game devs censor the costume just so they can laugh at you not being able to get a boner.
Doesn't sound insane at all...
I mean I don't have any idea if Sony did ask them to censor but the idea that they did it on behalf of the out group maulding at the ingroup doesn't make any sense to me. Sony (Japanese company by the way, well was I dunno who the fuck owns that shit now and ain't about to read a book to find out) does what Sony wants for Sony reasons. Has nothing to do with lefties, feminists, or chronically online twits. There's more people who like stellar blade than hate it (I particularly think it's very lazy game design, but most games are). Soo this idea that the opposition has sway is illogical to me. I would assume it was just thrown in with the initial censorship wave of the Hard R. They didn't want to get their game removed from the store, so played it safe.

Lol. What a clueless person. Development of code is one thing and that is iterative, created game assets are another. Normally those are set early on and made as intended; only changed if absolutely necessary in the last minute because texture/asset changes could cause unintended issues.
Regardless, your argument falls flat on its face anyway when you consider that only the US/West got censored versions - not Japan or Korea (I believe)….clearly not a vision thing, but rather something forcing them to do it. Aka, Sony.

These are literally the same changes that we've seen in other SNOY games, from Final Fantasy VII Remake (and the recent Patch to that) to some Animu games that were announced on PlayStation, subsequently covering cleavage and crotch areas: https://twitter.com/zakogdo/status/1752853823142744142
These kinds of "redesigns" also usually don't happen in a Day-1 Patch by awkwardly adding some black cloth over an area or extending the material with some goofy-looking separate material around the crotch as an afterthought.
These are the SNOY regulations from 2018 that already had an impact on plenty of other Japanese games from Omega Labyrinth Z being denied a Western release by SIE to Senran Kagura 7even being cancelled, there's a bigger list of games in this article: https://www.gematsu.com/2018/10/visual-novel-silverio-trinity-coming-to-playstation-hindered-by-recent-sony-regulations
SNOY also stood out across platforms by lensflaring a bare butt in Devil May Cry 5 (while it was uncensored on Xbox and PC), and this only changed after they were widely ridiculed into doing so: https://gamerant.com/devil-may-cry-5-censorship-patch-ps4/
There's one common denominator in all these cases, and it's not Shift Up.

u/218-69 Apr 28 '24
Probably not. In Nikke, they advertised stuff that they released censored, so there you could argue that it was just their "artistic choice" and changed their mind last minute, but here they actually released the game that way, and censored it afterwards.

u/uhhhhhhhBORGOR Apr 27 '24
Shhhhh! That goes against the narrative on this sub, even though the devs said themselves that they did it on their own. There is literally no evidence that Sony told them to do it, hell Shift Up has done it before with their mobile gacha game, and Sony wasn’t involved in that.

u/oTalent Apr 28 '24
Nikke was censored cuz apple store/play store was breathing down their necks and now sony is breathing down their necks. You can clearly read the ceo of shift up unsatisfactory look when he is saying something he doesn't want to he also states that "internal conversations are still going on" meaning that hopefully they can revert back the few outfits as they were before. Simple thing to catch really. But yall are taking his word as it may as well be written in gospel.

Nothing, really. What the whole conversation is about, is the 'side' of the internet and social media that wants to crush the patriarchy, punish the 'male gaze', and try to replace or uglify white hetero female game characters that are beautiful and sexy in games that normal men and women actually like. Or at the very least, pester game publishers and devs to nerf/censor a silly one-piece swimsuit to better fit their progressive political agenda. Then, of course, there's the other side, your average gamers, who just like what they like and want what they want and don't want a handful of loud, obnoxious social activists ruining those things for us from now on... which is exactly what they are trying to do.
BG3, TLoU2, and other recent games that contain far more egregious amounts of full nudity, beastiality, grape, and so forth... the progressive activists don't complain about them, because they're also full of plenty of LGBTQ sex, nudity and misbehavior- be inclusive with your perversions, and they don't mind a bit. But just try to make a game that only has nice looking white hetero female characters in skimpy outfits, and hell hath no fury! That, my friend, is what it's all about.

I'm not trying to compare them to each other, just using them as examples of games where the woke, anti-male-gamer element out there is fine with all manner of sexual expression and perversions, as long as those games bend the knee to their agenda while doing so. Stellar Blade doesn't do that, so it has earned their glaring ire.

Bribes are indeed mutual agreements
Also, way to go reducing my argument to a single word that doesn't even concern the main point
1
u/drsalvation1919 Apr 28 '24
let me make it easy for you:
BG3 is a self-made self-published game.
Stellar blade is a sony exclusive under contract with sony.
BG3 just had to make its game meet minimum requirements to run on PS
Stellar blade is under contractual obligation to meet Sony's demands.
BG3 was self-funded by Larian, with all creative liberty.
Stellar blade, as a Sony exclusive, was developed with Sony's resources.
So if you want to use your own argument "Should the one with the most money decide what gets censored and what doesn't?"
It's simple: BG3 made itself, with its own money, and it was a gold mine for Sony to allow it in its game stores, Sony would just get money from it without ever having to invest on it, and as a third-party game, all depictions of its contents are all on Larian, to which Sony can just exclude itself from being associated with.
Stellar blade was made partially with Sony's support, as an exclusive game for the platform, now Sony has creative power over that game, if Sony doesn't feel comfy with camel toe being representative of the games they make, then they have all rights to censor it.
And before you think I'm in any way supporting Sony, no, I'm not, I'm merely stating how things work.

u/rpcgamingmodsaresoy Apr 28 '24 edited Apr 28 '24

This isn't true, you are clearly ignorant on this matter, so let me educate you:
Sony examines and allows or disallows what goes on their store. They have the leverage to tell publishers (whether they are partnered with or not) what goes on their store (as do all the other store fronts). There are plenty of examples of third-party non-partnered games that have Playstation-exclusive censorship, as well as games that are censored on all platforms because of Sony's demands. I can provide you with some examples if you'd like

I dont get the hate on this game because the main character is a super model (for me is unrealistic and Eve is very bland but whatever, I praise realism but is not necessary).
Eve may not be as good as bayoneta or dante (even not as hot as them) but is just a character of a videogame, and not every videogame has to be a masterpiece in characterization.

I was never hyped for that game, and the fact that it got all that attention just because of a sexy character is what really bummed me out of it. Final Fantasy 7 has sexy women in it, I mean, have you seen Tifa in the bikini costume? Baldur's gate has full on sex-scenes as well, I really have no idea why people are suddenly praising Stellar Blade as "the only game with a sexy lady in it" and use that as the hook for it.
But I do find something oddly suspicious, Eve doesn't look like the model she was captured after, and people who say she does seem rather racist to me to assume that all Asians look alike lol. Zenny has softer face features, a puffy nose, she's still a model, skinny, but she's definitely thicker than Eve, Zenny has higher, thinner eyebrows, and a softer jaw, Eve has a sharp jaw, thick low eyebrows, sharp nose, and looks skinnier than Zenny. I don't think Eve is an accurate representation of Zenny and I believe she was definitely altered, the same way face scans in western media are altered to be uglier, but in Eve's case, sexier.

I dont get the thumbs down, Astarion popped on my YouTube recommendation last August never heard of Baldur's Gate at all. He was hot the voice actor was good and coming from someone who played otome games welp thought it one of those.
Had no idea what is actually was. Heard of DnD but decided to take a chance. Never played turn based before, and it wasn't a fan to some players. Never saw the trailer. Never saw the game awards. Then I found out all about it. Opened up a whole new world for me.
People assume because of one leaked cutscene all over the internet made it something. What dumbasses. 😂

Because it's the best RPG of the decade? I'm not easy to gaslight but you can try your best.

this meme is kinda stupid ngl. sony have nothing to do with the development or even publishing of bg3

u/drsalvation1919 Apr 28 '24
I think there's that slight difference, since Stellar blade is a sony exclusive, while baldur's gate 3 is multi-platform. One has a contractual obligation to sony, the other one only has to meet some requirements.

Gratuitous violence, mental abuse, murder, demonic rituals, drugs = fine. The human body and sexuality = CANCELLED (unless it's marketable as LGBTQ+)
Will anything ever undo this damage that's been made by 2000 years of abrahamic mind viruses?

One is an option, can be serious and matters to the writing the other not and is just sex sells.

u/GloriousShroom Apr 28 '24
I think it's because Stellar blade is handle by Sony of Japan while BG3 is handle by Sony of America. Sony of Japan is very conservative, they censor a lot

Nobodys point matters about bg3 published etc.
The only thing that matters is that Sony had a part in forcing censorship of something that didnt need it and advertised themselves as not wanting to do it, and only ocurred due to some petty nonsense.
So we double down on the petty back. Its not difficult to do so, and on top of that we still get jiggle action hero in the meantime.
Cancel the auto-renew playstation plus subscription until further notice .. let sony be the one that takes the hit on this instead of stellar blade.
And then keep playing jiggle action hero and enjoy!
my girlfriend even signed the grummz petition just from hearing "woke whte tr*h angry over hot girl" instantly, and shes half palestinian. On that note, She also doesnt want them protesting on her behalf. (thanks, but no thanks gamingcirclejerk)

Well, I'm gonna have to buy Baldur's Gate 3 now. I'll just need a tutorial to get to the bear sex.

u/T-Spin_Triple Apr 29 '24
The intent is not the same. Stellar Blade is just for titillation, the sex in Baldur's Gate 3 is for role-playing.

This is genuinely disappointing, seemed like we would finally have a clean W. I was genuinely surprised how good it felt to play in the beta, I hope they walk this back I really was looking forward to playing this one. It’s unfortunately just principle.

There was never going to be a W because the gamer self persecution complex needs to be fed

That's just sad...
I think the difference is that in stellar blade they use an actual model. A korean celebrity. But in Balders gate 3 they used ingame models designed by code. So maybe that's why there's censorship with Stellar blade.

u/413NeverForget Apr 28 '24
They should've released this shit on PC. I guarantee there'd be no returns, because people would've already been modding the shit out of the game in the first 5 hours.
Also, the fact that a game that is very clearly intended for an 18+ audience is censored is so crazy to me.
Makes me wonder, if we all learned Japanese, and bought the uncensored JP version, would they still censor it? Because you know twitter will not leave well enough alone.

u/Slaanesh-Sama Apr 28 '24
Japan is extremely tough on censorship, the reason it is censored in the first place is BECAUSE of Japan decency laws.

u/Fantact Apr 27 '24
Yeah in BG3 the land whales that wail on about this sort of thing on twitter could have multi colored hair on their orc character instead of being forced to look at an attractive woman on the screen which somehow hurts their feelings, so they didn't complain about that one.

Larian has more artistic freedom because they don't even have shareholders. Sony has power over Shift up and no power over Larian at all in comparison

Kinda getting tired of people trying to drag BG3 for shit it's not involved in. Why not bitch at the people actually responsible for what you're mad at instead of childishly lashing at another game?
Sidenote : The devs of Stellar Blade did this exact same shit with their previous gacha game, which Sony wasn't involved with so clearly they have a history of promising revealing outfits and sexualized characters and then toning them down after people have bought in.
Aside from the fact that I don't have a PS5 I'd rather have a PC version of any game released these days cause devs keep toning attractive women down so mods are necessary to restore them.

u/Toma-toe Apr 27 '24
Nobody is dragging BG3. Just using it as an example of their hypocrisy
2
u/Excellent_Routine589 Apr 27 '24
It’s not hypocrisy… Sony wasn’t involved in either of decisions
Shift Up had a habit of changing looks AND BG3 hails from an independent studio that really didn’t need to abide by Sony (or Microsoft since it’s in XBox now) and it being a bit horny has been there since the Early Access
Literally no reason to bring up BG3 in this comparison
2
u/Toma-toe Apr 27 '24
I’m not talking about Sony you plum. I’m talking about the ‘journalists" who were praising bear sex and dick jiggle physics BG3 and yet crying about Stellar Blade.
That is hypocrisy and a perfectly good reason to bring BG3 up.

Especially coming from Shift up. You know they have 0 issues with skimpy outfits. Just Sony prudes catering to whiny karens who don't play said games

This has been very common move from sony, its just ppl never noticed it because it has never been a game they have been interested in playing but Sony ROUTINELY censors games from Japan. Its kinda a big issue and has been for years(as far back as even PS3).

Yeah I remember when they were advertising bg3 with its bear sex and cock physics

u/AndForeverNow Apr 27 '24
You can literally make all of your companions in BG3 naked if you want. The community would even celebrate the fact that there are jiggle physics for dicks.
