According to the German website Bluplay.net, the USK-Version of BEYOND: Two Souls will ship with minor cuts. During a preview session they were told by a sony spokesman, that Sony had to make minor changes in order to get the USK-16-sign.
Little Spoiler:
They played a scene in which Jodie had to kill a kind of posessed doctor. End of Spoiler!
Since they already played the USK-Version they cannot provide any specific information on how strong the cuts are. However they did not have the feeling that the changes would cause a big difference to the other versions of the game, since the scene still seems pretty brutal. They advise gamers who already preordered the USK-version to stick to that and not to switch.
Sony has been reported and they assured that they will give a statement on this report.
Sony has recruited Bungie's head of revenue Jaremy Rich to head up its live-service gaming division, Rich has announced on social media.
Please do not put Destiny’s monetization into Sony’s first party games. The monetization is what’s driving players away from Destiny.
I mean, this person made some pretty bad decisions at Bungie. I hope they've learned from them because I definitely don't see those type of ideas as good for PlaySation in general.
Ps5 gamers in 2023 seemed to play more live service types of games, so regardless to how people feel about them, numbers don’t lie and Sony is going where the money is. I mean look at the excitement around Helldivers2, people are showing that they want live service games.
How do you kill a franchise that already been killed?
Destiny’s grind, cash-in-on-playbass-cha-Ching, and pop-culture-insertion mainstream-me-too bs totally killed any rep Bungie had. Sony/Bungie, if you are doing this to ward-off players, it’s already working.
Sony has patented to add multiple dialogue modes to let players switch between how many conversations with NPCs they want in the game.
Sony is like the only ones outta the 3 that has atuff like like this pop up changing thing in ways.
Genuine Enabling Technology was seeking damages, claiming the tech allowing PlayStation consoles and controllers to communicate infringes its rights.
Sounds like patent trolling they tried the same thing against Nintendo with the same pattern.
Motion and control input traversing over higher and lower frequencies seperate from each other allowing the controller to do both
So to recoup the money Genuine is going to take on Nintendo or Microsoft next. I hate patent lawyers they are some of the worst bottom feeders out there.
Considering its mature story structure anyway, it should left intact as USK-18...
"the Wii version of the game from Sony has been adjusted slightly, probably to obtain a USK-16 release."
Wait, what?
Are you kidding me???! I`ve preordered it by Amazon.de and now I will recieve CENSORED version?? Censores, get your hands off this game! I`m serious, Sony must clearify this.
