Devil May Cry 5 for PS4 is slightly more censored than on Xbox One and PC, but only in the West

Because it's censored MORE on PS4, I would assume.
Yet, that's not the issue raised from those seemingly most concerned about this, they don't want censorship at all, or are against it completely........So I would think they should be just as upset that other platforms have the censoring as well, but I'm not sure they are......

Apparently the way to get rid of it on PC is to disable lens flare, which I'm assuming console owners can't do........Funny enough, everybody forgets that this may not just be a SONY thing, don't we remember that a certain scene in DmC (The Ninja Theory Collab with Capcom) was editied in the Definitive Edition on all platforms, I didn't see much rage then.....

The cutscene in question, which has sexual suggestivenes and language........

oh my god... Screw Sony man...


Fking sad....

Worst IQ version or Best IQ but no bounce ?

EDIT : This is caused by the physics glitching when the game goes above 30 FPS. The Switch version is locked at 30 FPS and has full jiggle, and the PC version jiggles properly when the framerate is locked at 30.

Weird...

Censorship is dumb and awful. People who ask for it and implement it are extremist with low cultural level that must be stopped.

To put "burkas" to statues, paintings or videogames it's a cultural crime. If you can't handle to see a penis or a boob, you have a mental issue. Just read the ESRB/PEGI of the game and don't buy the game if it has nudes, but don't ask to censor it.

Hah. So it was real. Man, if this is their vision for PS5 then they're going to have a rough time next gen.
 
There’s two responses that bother me about this, especially on other forums like GameFaqs and ResetEra.

1. Violence is a different issue and unrelated to this one.

No it’s not. There’s material out there which is not being censored which is far more offensive. This hypocrisy means that the butt crack’s offensiveness is NOT why it was censored. So if it wasn’t censored because it was offensive, what’s the real reason it was? I wish they’d just come right out and say “objectification is harmful to women, but shirtless Ryu is yummy” so that everybody would realize what a bunch of fucking morons they are. But they are hiding their stupidity behind something we apparently are not allowed to criticize (whataboutism!). They aren’t thinking of the children, they’re just thinking of themselves.

2. If you want to look at butts, go find some porn.

God dammit. Look at that scene? There’s nothing aesthetically or artistically pleasing. It is distracting as hell and takes you right out of the action. It’s the artistic equivalent to Devil May Cry 5: Jar-Jar Edition. Even beyond the sexy aspect, it measurably creates a worse product that nobody, when given the choice, would choose over the original work. If nobody would choose it, why is the wrong choice being made for us? Why shouldn’t people be upset at Sony intentionally making developers make stupid compromises?

And the worst part is, what if I did go find some porn? But then someone decided to add light beams to their butts too? The exact same people would just say, “lol, just get a real girl”. There’s no point where they are going to go “that’s too far” because it isn’t about the censorship. They just want to feel superior and every time you lose something important to you is a moment of weakness they’ll exploit to boost their own self esteem. If you said you found out your wife was cheating on you, they’d probably go, “lol. cry more” because they are so low and filled with such self hatred that “kick ‘em when their down” is the only time they feel halfway important. Bunch of bitches.

Big mistake to remove the HQ from Japan to US

The west particularly United States is the safe haven for leftist liberals and political corectness who love to empose their view to others

more and more cencorship coming

Sorry if this looks dodgy I'm typing on PS4.

It's late and for once I haven't read through the thread only looked at the OP so I may be misinformed.

If this is for real then I will have to seriously reconsider sticking with Sony. Many may say why? It's such a minor thing to boycott over.

It's because it's such a minor thing it's so scary. As an adult I don't accept a company deciding what content I view like this . If it was the same censorship on all formats then no problem.

Not when you consider the fact that it's a port from PS4, but spin, spin away little bird.
No spin necessary, I'm not Sunil Narine or Muttiah Muralitharan........I agree, that an M rated game should not be censored like this, but we clearly don't have all the facts behind this censoring in particular....

It’s a bug on both PS4, Xbox and PC version. But you clearly don’t want to know the facts. You just want to see Sony burn, no matter what.

How is it a bug on the lead development system? It isn’t like they designed the game to run at 30 fps and then jacked it up at the last minute. Warriors Orochi 4 was like the 10th or 11th game using that engine on the PS4. Did they rewrite the boob physics for it or have all the other games had buggy boobs too? And as a programmer, a bug tied to a frame rate change would not produce something that worked perfectly except less exaggerated.

Just because it runs better on the PC when set to 30 fps doesn’t mean it is a bug. It might be (though I really think a frame rate physics bug would affect more than the chesticles), but that’s hardly conclusive evidence. They’ll never say, but it does seem to line up with the kind of “bugs” Sony has been forcing developers.

You can find more on the internet yourself about this issue. But yeah, just let us point our fingers at Sony...

Yeah, well. Its not like the actual motives of those people are especially hard to discern! Especially when they take the proffer of an alternate theory as to what's actually going on as "handwaving" apologia and go straight to ad-hominem attacks.

Its the same stupid shit as seen on ResetEra, an utter inability to stray from the narrow path of their own self-righteous preconceptions and absence of any substantial argument or critical thinking to prop up their viewpoint.
 
I didn't go through the entire thread but is there any source which confirms who decided/asked for this? Like was Capcom told by Sony to do it specifically for the western versions or Capcom decided to do it on their own and did it like they did for SF5?
 
While I have no problem with censorship. That’s just looks dumb. 🤣 The developers did that on purpose. U could of easily changed the camera angle.

Sony must really be afraid of government intervention or something as well. Cause it’s clearly not a underaged girl. And it’s not distasteful either.

"Don't you DARE bring opposing arguments against those who describe every display of female skin as despicable sexism, maggots!"

I swear, I never once in my life saw anything like this, and I've seen at least 25 years worth of badly modded forums.

Aren't you, like, forgetting one very important point?
Resetera/old neogaf was the number one website asking for videogame censorship.
This is exactly what they wanted.
They are, besides controversy threads where they ask for developers to be fired and coordinate doxing attempts (last time was Tetsuya Nomura and Hashino of Persona 3 fame), running regular threads constantly running where they complain that developers show too much skin in full-body armor gaps, or that a game dares to have an oppressed main cast yet one that's too "not-minority" to earn the right to be oppressed (Persona 5), or that some games explored forbidden themes.

They also say people who like the game the way it is originally and who would complain if it was submitted to the chop-chop treatment, don't exist, or don't count, or shouldn't be catered to.

This is EXACTLY what they wanted.
Why would you expect the pro-censorship forum, so much they are willing to get off-website developers fired not only for their personal opinions, but perceived "bad tropes" in their eyes, not even "offensive content", to be suddenly tolerant with different opinions in their midst?
They're already rummaging through poll answers saying "i will buy the game" to get a list of members to ban.

Slightly off topic but just reading the thread, and you have to laugh at some of the users who are almost crying over the fact that some people are giving Sony some flack over this (rightly so). I guess they never go in Xbox threads on here, or any thread really.

This is some shady shit by Sony and Capcom. Adding censor in an update after reviews are done already. Glad i got this game on PC. Whoever is in charge of this at Sony needs to be fired.

It's the ultimate sit back and watch thread. it's shame I didn't see the thread before it got santitized by the mod.

PS policy defenders vs. no censorship gamers vs. SJW no harm to women advocates vs. mods who have to sift through this shit vs. Xbox/PC gamers who have uncensored versions vs. some gamers who think it's just a bug in the PS4 game.

Every man for himself shitfest.

Reviews would probably of been even higher with this censorship in the current world we live in lol.
Fair play to you for calling this out though, i was certain you were going to defend it.

I always thought butts were not even classed as nudity, not really. In the UK, i have even seen tv commercials that have shown full butt (body lotions, creams, that kind of shit). I mean i'm guessing it was probably evening tv, but still.

Sony has a recent history of extensive censorship, so it's pretty obvious that people would point fingers when they see even more. They brought this upon themselves.

While I'm personally not sure that Sony is the culprit, in this case, the fact that Lady's butt is censored on all platforms appears to indicate that it was simply a choice on the developers part (which isn't exactly censorship).

On the other hand, if only PS4 versions get additional censoring, the most logical conclusion (even if not the only one) is that it's due to the major differentiating factor, which is Sony.

Whichever the case, Sony is certainly not at all innocent on the censorship front, so while I won't be as fast as drawing conclusions, I certainly don't feel the need to defend them. They ARE censors. This is out of the question.

Also they are rude to everybody not agreeing by default but get triggered when people treat them 1/10th of the terrible way they treat others. Goebbels method to the letter

I never understood the logic of this type of censorship in M rated games where I can decapitate and maim and spill copious amounts of blood, but female nudity is somehow a graver sin...

There is such obvious dissonance going on there, it's extremely obnoxious to see developers and publishers pull shit like this. Particularly when it's trying to appease people who are the least likely to be affected, if at all. It's patronizing.

All future posts of yours just gained 2 additional merit points from me.

We have fans here from every corner of the gaming world. MS, Sony, Ninty, Kojima, etc... Seeing you as a Sony guy voicing displeasure at your preferred product means you aren't completely without bias.

Sometimes I wish MS, Sony, or Nintendo would leak a statement saying something REALLY anticonsumer. Like they decided to triple the monthly cost of Live or PSN or something... Just to be entertained by the rabid fanboys who try to defend it. Lol

Someone in that thread says that he gets jiggle cause his rig only runs the game at 30-45fps, but also gets jiggle on the menu screen which runs at 60 fps. It’s not a frame rate bug.

But it’s also no censorship from Sony because the other version do have The same problem. But on the other hand, who cares...
 
And SJW's thought that censorship within certain PS4 games would only happen on niche, fanservice games with kids; Where are they at now?

I called this shit; I fucking called it!

You think you’re safe, but chances are, rather than cease the censorship, Sony is going to start require platform parity.

Let them try. They'll be given the finger by the majority of the hardcore PC fanbase.

Depends on the country/culture.

The US is a country where blood, guts, shoot outs, smoking and drug use in mainstream media is a-okay. But show an ass crack, and some reason people scream with pitchforks. It's so unbalanced it doesn't even make sense. Go to a museum and anyone can see a painting or statue with a naked woman. Watch Discovery Channel and some of those medical shows I've seen show tits no problem.

Show it in a video game and people go nuts.

I can understand the point of "gaming is a kid focused thing, so we are banning it from there", but some games are M-17 or M-18 so it's for adults. Kids should not be touching the game. Just like M-17 movies are allowed to show this, since kids aren't supposed to watch them.

I guess it comes down to no matter what game it is, no matter what ESRB rating it gets, and no matter which targeted audience a game is focused on, some companies like Sony will try to do a blanket approach to cover all bases....... which doesn't even make sense anyway since Sony has their share of God of War games showing tits, asses, and PS2 humping mini-games. Let's see if God of War going forward has no more T&A scenes.

If they do, it shows Sony is two faced and will pick on third parties, but not their own games.

This. Sony are hypocrites.

Thank God for Switch, Xbox & PC gaming.
