Details regarding the review embargo for Sony Interactive Entertainment and Shift Up's Stellar Blade have been revealed.
Helldivers 2 and Stellar Blade have been at the top of the news cycle lately. And no, it's not for good things this time around.
Mistakes are ok as long as they learn from them. Sure they shouldn’t have happened like this but no company is perfect.
@outsider1624 besides some censored outfits, gore and graffiti after they promised there would be no censorship anywhere, not much.
Problem is we have not seen any signs of them learning anything. Censorship still out of hand, GAAS push is still delaying everything, still leaning on sweet baby inc and their lazy writing. We'll have to wait till Jim Ryans replacement is found and see what their plan is, cause all we have is the temp guy for now
There was no fucking censorship. Censorship would have been changing all the outfits. The Devs have Ben clear that a version of the outfit that was not the final version was on 1.00 of the game by mistake and the pre launch patch corrected that, that one skin then covered up slightly more of the main character. Plenty more revealing costumes are there untouched.
Hey, tell @Extermi8or3_ you’re the Queen of England. He’ll believe it because you said so regardless of what we see and know.
Extermin9or3
you live under a rock, the game was censored, blood was toned down and plenty of outfits have cheap patch jobs that look bad because of the rushed last minute censoring, such as clothing being painted on skin rather than an actual texture, when the original didnt have it.
Please actually at least play the game yourself or do research
@Extermin9or3 censorship is censorship, it doesn't matter if it's one outfit or all of them.
If it's so small as you say they should have no problem restoring it to normal.
Stellar Blade complaints is just a bunch of incels following whoever tells them to be outraged, I have never been so embarrassed to be a gamer than when the Stellar Blade bs broke. Pathetic divorced Dads and incels losing their minds over a small bit of pixilated cloth over the cleavage of a couple of outfits in a sea of of outfits that show you everything.
The outfit I'm wearing in that game is far more revealing than what they "censored".
Unstable fanboys making a victim of themselves for not having the slightest clue what "censored" actually means.
Helldivers 2 controversy - justified. Anger at the MS news today - justified.
Stellar Blade's 10th most revealing outfit getting a bit more cloth - what kind of loser do you have to be to throw a hissy fit over that?
@taco, stellar blade "censorship " is the perfect example of the tendency these days by some gamers to use trivial issues to create fake outrage campaigns.
Grown men simping over a fictional character lmao just imagined wtf they're doing with the money they make in real life probably onlyfan subscriptions and more, most guys love being slave to women& their bodies lmao
Regardless how you feel on it at it's core they said something was going to be uncensored, people bought it, they found out they censored stuff and they were p***** off.
Maybe be up front with people or how about with Sony's weird censorship rules maybe lay up on it. We can get Abby in TLOU2 being raw dogged by a drunken Owen but some clothing is suddenly bad? It's cherry picking sometimes.
Even an physical art book for a game Tsukihime was censored on PS4 (yet the game was not)

I'm gonna take the word of the director over the word of lonely bitter losers crying about digital cleavage.
Again. If you play the game instead of posturing and whining about it, you too can enjoy far more risque outfits than the stupid bunny outfit you're having a tizzy over.
@Tacoboto
Rather than being an asshole about it, maybe if you re-read what I said above, I agree things are silly but I'm talking about the idea of censorship in general not specific to one game or situation over that said game. Censorship is an issue that's been an issue with Sony for years now and you never know what they'll take aim at next.
Sony's tried taking aim at direct access to titles they list in countries they don't have any intent on actually providing support to.
And yet you're still arguing about cleavage being "censored" from one outfit when there's still more revealing outfits in the game.
I will not be less of an asshole when *this* is the molehill you're choosing to make out to be Everest. You're clearly not playing the game.
If you need to insult the other side to try and make a point
It just shows how dishonest you are
I don't need to insult incels to make my point, they're doing it themselves. Hence my embarrassment at being a gamer when the Tater Tots start crying.
Incels perfectly describe Stellar Blade and the country that created it. South Korea has the lowest birth rate in the world. Like many Asian countries, misogyny is still a problem and women have pretty much given up on relationships with men. It has gotten so bad that the government has just ended a ban on sex dolls so that the men of the country can have something to screw. Stellar Blade is a product of that environment and it amazes me to think that some want the rest of the world to be more like South Korea.
I just hate the fact I buy and pay for a game rated M and Sony takes it upon themselves to censor a game for me. So Eve wears a little revealing suit don't care. If I wanted to buy the censored version I would buy it for the NES or SNES. Modern women wear more scantly clad outfits then that in a mall, gym, school, the store and other places. As for Helldivers requiring an account should only be tied to Playstation. Ways to kill the hype of a game is to piss the customer off.
There is no other version on NES or SNES. Just saying. Also if you bought it physically you don’t have to download the patch if it really matters that much.
Think about it during the golden Nintendo era what was Nintendo known for when it came to games. I'll give you a hint a difference between Mortal Kombat on Genesis and SNES. Still don't get it it's called censoring.
Oh god. Why.. then WHY wouldn't the director of the game just revert the outfits back after the big shitstorm it created and hurt the sales of his own game potentially and also the Shift's Up reputation? Stellar Blade outifts changes has Sony written all over it.
I get it, you need to detract from all the terrible news going on about Microsoft.
The Helldivers 2 issue is over, fans have already dropped 200k positive reviews on the game as an acceptance that the mistake was rectified. There is no fumbling as the game hasn't failed yet.
Stellar Blade...that's yesterday's news. Try to keep up.
You do know not every article needs to be written about the MS fuck up.
In fact this very website has several articles on their homepage discussing the MS fuck up.
So how exactly is this detracting from anything.
NoobFeed edior Azfar Rayan writes - Even though there were some issues; those things weren't enough to detract from my liking of the game. The story could use a bit of work in the end, but it nevertheless relished the experience. SHIFT UP might have preserved some content for future DLCs, as the game felt a bit smaller than we had hoped for. Still, its action-packed gameplay makes up most of those areas, and the game's character designs are definitely outstanding.
Some players of Stellar Blade who have purchased the Digital Deluxe edition are encountering issues with missing special items such as weapons and armor. To resolve this problem, follow these steps
Two days before launch is fine. Same day as preload and... its only 35 GBs so I don't have to reorganize my who whole library just to fit it on lol.
Hopefully the game sticks the landing. Demo was a great time so I'm hoping we're not in for another Hogwarts Legacy type of situation.
By that I mean, its flaws don't get swept under the rug just because of the controversy the game doesnt deserve. HL was a solid game overall but at its core, it was an above-average Ubisoft-like from quest structure to a physical edition with an online installation requirement to being riddled with SJW shoehorning.
If this game gets good reviews that's best, but if it doesn't or is received as mid, I can't imagine the conversation actually focusing on what the reviewers critique but the reviewers themselves.
Not as confident as how far ahead Sony has done on its first party stuff, but at least it’s not this day of bullshit. Cautious confidence lol. I’ll be preordering tomorrow. Demo sold me on it.
Is this game going to release on PC in the future?
I already know that IGN France is going to be glowing for this game in their review.
