Current Events > Senran Kagura remake delayed to remove 'Intimacy Mode' from PS4 version

(+) Yeah! (+)

the difference between violence and the sexualization of minors is that it serves a single purpose; to pander to those that find minors arousing. people don't have to find killing arousing to play a game, however, the minigame of this topic serves only one purpose, and it's to eroticize minors for those that like it. this is something many find creepy and rightfully so.

But WHY is this a problem? Who cares if some weirdo is jacking off to a game? It's a work of fiction. No one is being harmed.

Good, you finally admit you just want it for sexual gratification. Took you long enough

I knew this topic would turn into this but I really want to know what Sony is going to do next. This wasn't blocking Omega Labyrinth there are literally games with this content already out. This seems like Sony taking an insanely large and sudden step into third parties that have putting games on their system for a damn long time.

Didn't one of Xseeds people have a VIP account and post on their games boards on this site? Must suck to have this come out of nowhere and the only discussion is about anime and not this drastic business altering policy shift.

Which is a different game.

Does this game have the same creepy "intimate mode"?

Does this game feature character who look like minors?

The plot of the game is a dude kidnaps a bunch of girls, forces them to wear fetishy outfits and fight each other. Several of them give off a much stronger impression of being minors than the Senran Kagura cast. And seriously how many minors do you know who have boobs larger than their head?

So it seems Sony is being consistent since the fighting part is not cut just like how it isn't cut in Senran Kagura.

I'm really not sure why you find it so hard to believe that I hate censorship on principle. Whether I like the content or not, I don't want to see anything removed from a game released in America. It's not my fault I don't have any examples of violence being censored here for me to be upset about to prove my point.

Even underaged characters?

Why the fuck is this a 200 post topic. Why are there so many people on this board who agree with a literal MarthKoopa topic

oh, i don't care about this or the game itself, i was just explaining why the argument of violence vs little girls is flawed. i frequently see it used to justify sexualizing minors and that always irks me because it makes no sense. as for why this was removed, perhaps it didn't want any backlash as america isn't as permissive towards pedophilia and hebophilia as japan is.

Yes, I am entertained by the desperation of the foreveralones to justify their sexual pursuits with nonsense about censorship and principles. I was never outraged.

This is the 5th Senran Kagura game to be released on a Sony platform. All of them have this feature. Stop ignoring facts.

And I'd also like to point out that South Park: The Stick of Truth exists. That game features children significantly younger than anyone in Senran Kagura getting raped ON-SCREEN. No one had a problem with it.

Who cares if a shitty boob slapping game got censored when Sony was evaluating the game for their system? Nobody except incels.

maybe the previous version didn't sell as well and they want a more mainstream audience? i don't see that happening, though. i don't believe the scene in the stick of truth was meant to be attractive like these games are. senran kagura is a glorified masturbatory aid. the stick of truth is not.

Dude, the devs aren't the ones censoring the game. It's Sony, and Sony don't give a rat's ass how many copies Senran Kagura sells.

Well put. The devs specifically design the game for foreveralones to play holding a different type of joystick

1. You're suggesting that Sony would demand a third party censor their game because the previous installment didn't sell well? Why would they give a fuck.
2. Every Senran Kagura game sells well. The recent spin-off on the Switch was a top-10 seller on the eshop in America.
3. You still haven't explained why people jacking off to it is grounds for censorship. I guarantee SOMEONE out there finds some of the content in Stick of Truth hot.

Tell me why sexually arousing content needs to be banned.
---

it's already been explained what the difference is in the violence argument. sexualizing minors is made for a specific purpose which is to appeal to pedophiles and hebophiles while the other is not.

Sony doesn't want to be the smut peddler of you foreveralones. Go find anime porn elsewhere. It's Sonys prerogative to not be your enabler.

Okay, but why does it need to be banned? No one is being hurt if a hebophile jacks off to a drawing.

Why are people saying Sony is trying to tone it down? The game is still hyper sexualized in every other aspect. They arent toning down anything. They are making a bewildering choice to remove a part of the game that has been fine before on their platform while leaving everything else suggestive in tact.
---

who says it needs to be banned? the only sides in this topic, and everywhere else in the gaming world for that matter, are the people who don't care but recognize the creepiness factor of it and the ones who are upset it was removed. games like this that originated on the vita have always been recognized as creepy, but no gamers ever called for them to be banned, because we just don't care whether they get censored or not.

Exactly. I don't think anyone in this topic specifically wants it banned. We're just laughing at your outrage that your jerk off material is getting removed. As well as your pathetic attempts to claim its about the principle when we know better.
---

So you're just trolling then. And you seem to be convinced that it's 100% impossible for someone to hate censorship on principle but are unable to explain why.
---

Why did they even take the game on if they don't want to be associated with its modes? lol

It's more work to reprogram the game than it is to keep it off the PS4. But who am I to dictate their time management, eh.
---

Why is it so hard for people to read? SONY censored the game. Not XSeed. This is a long-running series that has remained uncensored for 7 consecutive installments across Sony and Nintendo platforms. Sony waited until the last minute on this 8th game to tell XSeed that they changed their mind about allowing this kind of content.
---

I read it just fine. I suggested they may as well drop it for the PS4. Don't blow a gasket, dude. Wouldn't be the first game to be axed near completion.

Calm down dude. You can just get your rocks off to the PC version.

Sorry, it sounded like you thought XSeed knew going in that this would happen.

The game's already complete. It was suppose to come out a couple days ago. It makes much more sense financially for them to dummy out the offending content than scrap the whole project. They have special editions with physical goods lined up and everything.
---

On the one hand, I've never played a Senran Kagura game.

On the other hand, if the fans if this niche series want this game mode fo stay in, it should be kept in.

Real talk, the Senran Kagura games are excellent. Setting aside all the groping and slapping, there's a solid game under there. They're well-made beat-em-ups with tight controls and remarkable writing. Totally serious, you WILL care about the characters by the end of the game. And this one is the perfect place to hop on since it's a remake of the original. That wishlist in your sig tells me you're already interested in XSeed's work, so definitely give it a shot.
---

I have no interest in Senran Kagura so this doesn't affect me in the slightest. However, I'm wondering what's even the point of doing this. Are they trying to appeal to a broader audience? It's not like anyone other than pervs and their dedicated fans are buying it anyway even with the tiny amounts of censorship. I can see xenoblade and fire emblem due to being for a more general audience but there's no point in censoring SK. Just let the horndogs have their game.

Yeah the "gameplay" and "story" is excellent I'm sure.

I don't know, but I recall a female streamer appearing on the Co-Optional Podcast a while back. Apparently her fans got her to play it and she was surprised at how into the story and characters she got. So, maybe there is something entertaining under all those bouncing bosoms.

Certainly nothing groundbreaking, but yes, I enjoy both the story and the gameplay quite a bit. Of course, titties help.

I made a blanket statement and you chose to assume I was talking about you. That's the definition of ego right there.

What's with anime people and always crying about everything?

Are you done?

So, Sony finally made an official response.
