An executive of Electronic Arts Japan has criticised the Japanese video game ratings board for allowing upcoming action game Stellar Blade to be released uncensored while EA's own Dead Space was banned in the country.
Stellar Blade developer Shift Up has teased more suits and future content updates, and has also discussed plans for a sequel.
This game reminds me of when my daughter used to play the Bratz dress-up game on the Gamecube.
The latest US sales data is out, and while hardware may be down for the big 3, software is ruling the day, including Stellar Blade topping the charts
Must be weird for Xbox fans to see Sea Of Thieves at number 4 on the NPD charts
Well, would you look at that Sony! Guess there’s an audience after all for this stuff.
I wonder where the change from "NPD" to "Circana" ranks on the chart of lamest rebrands? And yes I know it changed awhile ago it just annoys me every time I see it.
Stellar Blade deserves it, it's just a gorgeous well-optomized working right out of the box game. Would plat all over again.
Famitsu: "About a month has passed since the release of Stellar Blade It is said that an update including a new mode will be implemented on May 24, 2024, so we interviewed Director Kim Hyung-tae and Technical Director Lee Dong-gi again. We asked him about the future prospects for this work."
He’s got a point. If a game is M-Rated, which is the equivalent of an R rating, I don’t get why you need to censor anything. The rating is the indicator of the content and the age appropriate. If it’s appropriate for adults… why treat them like children? 🤷♂️
definitely has a point.
but .. its japan. are we really surprised?
I don't know if the EA executive is going off the one close up of an arm being cut off in the demo. Maybe it's uncensored because it's the arm of a cyborg or it doesn't happen that often (didn’t see EVE dismemberment when killed in the demo) .
In the states there's a certain amount of swear words allowed to a PG13 movie before it is deemed R. So maybe it's the same in Japan for gore?
Ea Japan please make Knack 3
in the future
EA Japan :v
