"Instead of the scene just being cut from the Australian version of the game, apparently every copy of the game across every country would receive censored copies of Outlast II without that scene."

That's bogus. I agree with the ratings boards though, they are largely useless. Interesting article until they got into the "male gaze" crap.

Again, violence ok, sexy bad. Will never ever understand this crap.

JMRamee3012d ago

I agree, it doesn't make ANY sort of sense. You'd think if one was okay, then the other would be as well!

meka26113012d ago

Well even for me if one is not ok it should be violence. Let's see, sex is a natural that, hopefully, everyone gets to experience. Whereas violence is something that is usually frowned upon as it doesn't solve much. Of course violence is sometimes needed, but it's usually frowned upon. Again makes no damn sense. I blame parents that don't want to actually parent.

In this case it would be censoring violence. Unless you think rape is sexy lol. As much as I would love to blame Australia, this one is entirely on the devs or pub. At least for the rest of the world.

Higher Tier PlayStation Plus Members Can Claim These 10 Spooky Games For Free

If you don’t plan on trick-or-treating or going to a Halloween-themed party, the next best thing is to relax with a spooky game, and PlayStation Plus members can get some cool games for free. If you’re a PS+ subscriber, there are a bunch of games perfect for Halloween that you can get completely for free.

Note: Some games require higher PS+ tier levels to enjoy free.

TriniOutsider240d ago

Can we stop with the word "Free" when it comes to these subscription services, please? These games aren't free if people are paying for the service.

Juancho51240d ago

Calm down, we all know what it means. You’re not paying for the individual game, it’s included. Stop acting outraged over nothing.

TriniOutsider240d ago

Your response is exactly what's wrong with gaming today.

I've always against subscription based gaming services.

1nsomniac240d ago

He doesn't need to calm down. He's stating what is factual and what should be common sense, however it's clear some people still don't understand this.

It is not free. You do not receive them if you're not paying the subscription to receive them. No ones getting angry other than yourself. He's just stating the simple common sense that no one is receiving a free game they are receiving a game "included" in their subscription plan - That they pay for!

False and manipulative writing/advertisement is wrong and counts on the less educated letting it go unchallenged.

Elda240d ago

Exactly. If anyone wants to play any of these games through PS+ one has to pay a monthly subscription fee which means it's not free.

@TriniOutsider

We all know what it means, no one is confused, chill.

TheNamelessOne240d ago (Edited 240d ago )

All great games, honestly. Though, I did feel The Devil In Me was the worst game that Supermassive has put out.

LoveSpuds240d ago

I went out and bought Dredge, one of my favourite games i have played this year.

If you haven't played it, you really should give it a chance.

Nacho_Z240d ago

Dredge is great, really enjoyed it. One of my favourites too and something original as well.

derek240d ago

Alan Wake 2 is available in the subscription?

1nsomniac240d ago

No. It's just a really poorly written article. Alan Wake 2 is part of the subscriptions "Trial" section - So it's simply a demo, that's all.

Simple "bait and switch" article trying to get hits using manipulative writing.

derek240d ago

Oh, ok. I looked on the app and saw the trial available thought I was missing something.

Lionsgate Reveals Outlast Movie

This sounds interesting. Red Barrels is teaming up with Lionsgate and renown horror producer Roy Lee to develop a feature film anchored in the rich and horrifying universe of the Outlast series.

TheNamelessOne241d ago

If this ends up being rated anything but R ..

Garethvk240d ago

It has to be. I hope they learned with Borderlands that PG-13 is not the way if the source material is an M-Rated game.

gold_drake240d ago

but are we gonna see naked people? ha.
