PS5's Stellar Blade, Rise of the Ronin Headline New Montage Trailer

PlayStation Japan, as you’ll already know, loves a good montage trailer. And this latest clip – which has a bit of a road trip vibe to it – is a bit of a banger, spotlighting upcoming console exclusives like Rise of the Ronin and Stellar Blade. There’s also space to feature titles like Helldivers 2, Silent Hill 2, Unicorn Overlord, Sand Land, and more.

The theme, Play Goes On, suggests there’s lots to look forward to on PlayStation, as we edge closer towards the summer. There’s also a first glimpse of REYNATIS running on PS5, the upcoming Shibuya-based action RPG from FuRyu, which has been promoted solely on the Nintendo Switch thus far. So, lots of cool games, and a great song. What’s not to like?

I haven’t seen Sand Land but it looks really good. I’ll have to check that out as well. I need to retire now to play all the games I have and want to play in the future

What they should do, is just like the hair option make it an option to have it either way of your personal choosing. I blame the sensitive media and the perverts throwing the images of her assets around the web.

Christopher5h ago

You do realize that much of these changes like this aren't to appease the sensitive media, it's about the ratings boards.

Dixiedevil28m ago

The game that’s on the disc is what was rated.

MrDead18h ago

Three articles form the worse game sites I've ever had the misfortune of clicking on posted to N4G about this... I guess when you have no journalistic skills you got to rely on clickbait.

The game has an outfit that has her almost completely nude, if that doesn't make you happy then go watch some porn you sad t***s

Abear217h ago

I get this take, but we should be a mature enough society where a happy medium should be able to exist without people losing their shit. I think some light nudity should be allowed, like a shirtless mode in NG+

Porno shouldn’t be considered the alternative, some of us can appreciate the human form without getting aroused or needing release. Art has long embraced the human form, it’s like people don’t go to museums anymore, you’d be surprised at how accepting we once were.

shinoff21832h ago

That's not true though. There's always been people with issues about something.

Michiel19892h ago

you're free to play their mobile game where the gameplay is literally looking at some anime girls asses. It's called Nikke and it's absolute dogshit.

I have no issues with chars like this but I do not want or need shirtless modes in my games. Leave it to the modders or something.

isarai6h ago

It's a game made by adults, rated for adults, yet you're fine with someone stepping in and shielding your eyes, telling you what you can and cant handle? Especially when every other medium out there has the freedom and respect to make whatever they want with their only limitations being what rating they want to land in. There's straight SMUT sold off shelves of franchised stores with huge advertisements 3 iles away from the kids section when it comes to films and books. Why don't games get the same freedoms?

This is what people are tired of, it's dumb and honestly insulting to the mostly grown adults that make up the gaming audience.

Redemption-645h ago

No, this is nothing, but pure ignorance and stupidity. The game director himself this is what they wanted to do, yet triggered snowflakes say this is censorship. It's almost like these people made-up their own narrative and since the truth from the director doesn't fit that narrative, they double down. Pathetic. If you don't like the director of the game being able to make such edits to their own game, then don't support them. This is not censorship, just a group of man babies crying the devs added 6 inches to a lace, while somehow leave more revealing outfits in the game.

isarai4h ago

@Redemotiin-64

That's the PR speak, you think he's really gonna admit to censorship? Especially after just marketing the game on being completely uncensored in every region? It was damage control, if you can't spot the most obvious "uh no i totally meant to do that" excuse, you need to socialize more bro. And also im not supporting it, still doesn't mean I can't criticize this dumb practice. I don't even get how you can sut here and act like this isn't censorship given PlayStation's recent track record.

Michiel19892h ago

@redemption the devs didnt wanna censor it, I can assure you that. Their other game had you looking at backshots of anime girls in thongs during gameplay, if you can even call it gameplay.

gigoran82h ago

So you think that all women wearing revealing tops are porn stars and should s s-shamed? Got it. that's all you had to say MrDead

I’m sick of all the censoring BS! Just let a sexy main character be sexy.

Redemption-645h ago

There is no censorship. If this is what the devs wanted to do, why is this censorship? Can you explain why they left more revealing outfits? I have yet to see a single person explain why they added 6 inches to a lace and left far more revealing outfits

ravens525h ago

I know your not that naive. Of course hed say that after all this backlash. I'm sure that's what Sony told him to say.

kythlyn9h ago

I'm more bothered by the bait and switch of the messaging and advertising than the change itself. The game still has an abundance of fan service, but clearly there have been changes made, and Sony needs to stop meddling across the board, not just in this, but in countless games they force developers to make conservative changes to.

badz1499h ago

You seriously blaming Sony for this? The snowflake loud minorities are the ones to be blamed. They aren't happy until they make every protagonist ugly and gay which is sad. Mind you, this is Shift Up first major console release. Can't blame them they don't want to upset anybody but all these sensoring and changes to please these snowflakes have gone too far imo. If you don't like it, don't play it! Stop trying to ruin it for the others just because you're pathetic and got triggered by everything!

GameBoyColor8h ago

i mean if sony is the one forcing the changes I think it's fair to blame them. Sony could easily just not censor it but they have a track record with telling companies what to do with their games now.

I think you should be more mad at a company bending the knee instead of the consumers with your mindset lmfao

Levii_927h ago

Dude Sony IS a snowflake(hate using that word) company 😂 they are pathetic when it comes to this stuff and i’m 100% sure they forced this shit on the Shift Up devs.

ZeekQuattro6h ago

Yes because Sony has a history of meddling with games that deal in fan service. Not much of stretch to believe they might have a hand in this.

CrimsonWing697h ago(Edited 7h ago)

It’s just disingenuous. You don’t come out riding this campaign of not censoring only to censor. Sony is a piece of sh*t when it comes to this and people are getting f*cking tired of this.

Censoring this game isn’t going to make the SJW whiners do a 180 and support the game. There’s this thing called balance, let that crowd have games for them and let other people enjoy a hot chick kicking alien ass. The game is the game it is and it’s M-Rated for crying out loud. Why do we even have ratings if you’re just going censor M-rated content? You see more skin on the beach in reality than you do in the uncensored outfits in this game.

Not only that but they censored the blood. Like how does Mortal Kombat or Bloodborne get a pass? How come Baldur’s Gate 3 can show full on frontal nudity and explicit sexual content, but a game with NO nudity, NO sexual content, but only skimpy outfits gets censored?

Enough is enough, Sony. Cut it out with this bullsh*t. Dont treat your audience like they’re 4 year olds that big momma Sony has to cover their eyes.
