Alone in the Dark developer Pieces Interactive has been hit with layoffs a month after its release, as per the latest information.
That genuinely, genuinely sucks. The reboot has clear flaws, but it really felt like a solid first step for this team to receive *greater* investment.
Venturing into a post-apocalyptic world, Bandai Namco resurrects the forgotten treasure, Sand Land: will it capture the magic of the Manga?
I enjoyed the demo so I'll be picking this up. The gameplay made me think of Metal Max Xeno so it sold me on it.
Shift Up has released Stellar Blade day one update 1.002 on PS5, and those who preloaded the game should be notified of this update.
Do you really not know this is about the n-word or are you saying that black people can't get offended because it upsets you?
I'm black I didnt know what it was, didnt know what DEI was or baby ink whatever it is. As I said in my own lane I don't keep up with new shyt these days
I can't believe they're censoring this game on day 1. Games just aren't the same.
/s in case it's needed. I'm fine with them making these changes that they might not have known is culturally insensitive to some people in the big ole world. But that's just me.
They are censoring something that is deemed offensive by Journalists quoting the offensive term verbatim. They are typing it intentionally in articles while in the game it's a wall texture saying Hard next to a unrelated 3d model sign that says R store. Is it offensive or not? Crazy town.
At least IGN just shows the term with a screenshot of the game. Because it's their "discovery" and to not show hypocrisy in their HUGE vitue signal.
Hard R is the not offensive way to describe an offensive term. Are they going to type "Ha$$ R" or not use the term now?
Oh, hey, I agree with you that IGN and other journalists are dumb. Not disagreement there. But, I think for a game going out to millions of people across the world? It's not something they want associated with them. It's just horrific PR.
Add to the horrific PR nightmare that this is the first major Korean-developed Sony-published title, if I'm not mistaken.
There aren't that many Korean developed titles in general. And the allowance of this only would drive a bigger fissure in east vs west especially after Final Fantasy XVI released featuring no black characters at all...
Not a good look for Sony regardless of how you personally feel about it or the people that talk about it.
I'm not saying it shouldn't have been changed. It's an easy fix and looks like it was an easy fix.
But the word HARD being too close to the letter R being a horrific PR nightmare and a indication of a racist developer is beyond crazy.
I only think they would be seen as an insensitive developer if they were informed of its implications and didn't remove it. I don't think it's a bad thing to not want to have an unintentional message in your game.
It's all fake outrage journalists are looking for everything and anything to accuse the developers of sexualization of the female body and racism now. Yet, Hard R has nothing to do with race.
Some of these journalists seem to dislike Asian people and it's starting to show more and more now.
If you can't enjoy the game without knowing there are racial slurs plastered on the walls, you might actually be the snowflake.
"Hey why didn't you get that game? I heard it's got that hot Korean chick?"
"I was gonna, but then they removed a reference to the N word!"
So this could be misconstrued as a offensive slur to a group of people they patched it out no harm no foul and now your not buying the game because this effected YOU in a negative way?
I'm confused.your offended because they didn't want to offend anyone says a lot about you more then the studio.
I'm offended by the sight of blood a d violence and find violence to be very insensitive...
We can all play stupid and pretend to be offended by graphics and fake worlds.
I really enjoyed the demo.
I'm going to play through and max out on story mode then go to the challenge mode afterwards.
This game is very challenging but fun.
Especially for timing on the parrying and blocking.
Got the Deluxe Digital Edition (PS5) pre ordered.
:)
intelligently break down from twin finite. lololo no. an the article is jus a flow chart that thinkks gamers are robots.
So simple.
Ps5 if you wanna enjoy high rated exclusive games.
Xbox if you're a die hard xbox fan or like latest gadgets.
Nothing is going to change for me. PS5 for exclusives and PC for everything else.
I think it should be pointed out that we do not know the price of expansion storage for these consoles yet. Microsoft hasn't revealed that pricing and there hasn't been any PS5 certified third party SSDs announced yet. We also do not have a clear idea of game pricing either. Seems Sony base price is rising to $70. Microsoft hasn't made any statement on that unless I just missed it. So no, would not say *all* the cards are on the table quite yet.
PS5 as my main, XSS a couple years down the line when Fable comes out.
The choice is very simple. With a multitude of robust next generation titles and an enhanced Virtual Reality experience, it's clear that PlayStation®5 is the superior choice for any gamer who is looking to get the most out of the next generation. While Microsoft is offering a service that is great for those who want to experience the past, Sony is gearing up towards a bright future with PS5 and it's fantastic Ray Tracing abilities and minimal loading times with blazing speed.
Spiderman: Miles Morales and Ratchet & Clank are already looking like future contenders for game of the year which goes to show how strong the PS5 will be this holiday season and in 2021. Dark Sniper is glad to know he made the smart choice this generation by going with PlayStation because he knows that Play Has No Limits.
