HuntingFever Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 (edited) If you read between the lines of this interview, we can expect to see extensive dialogue censorship in the FF7 Remake : https://www.gamespot.com/articles/final-fantasy-7-remakes-dialogue-was-basically-rew/1100-6475161/ EDIT 1: The JP version of Persona 5: Royal was censored as well so it looks like the only uncensored release will be the Asia English version : EDIT 2: Idea Factory have confirmed that the PC and PS4 versions of Death End ReQuest 2 will be censored in the west : EDIT 3: The latest Borderlands 3 DLC has just been banned in Saudi Arabia, presumably because the whole thing is about Sir Hammerlock marrying his boyfriend.

Undead Wolf Posted March 31, 2020 Author Share Posted March 31, 2020 From what i could gather, the German version of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Remastered is still censored in that territory like it was in the original, giving you a game over in the "No Russian" level if you shoot any of the civilians. I've added it to the list, but if anyone can find any footage of the game over after doing that, I would appreciate it if you linked it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with her new outfit redesigned to be more "practical", I figured at least we would still have the option of using the original outfit design, but even that couldn't escape censorship it seems.

HuntingFever Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 (edited) Wasteland 3 was censored in Australia in order to receive an R18+ certificate but I don't know what was altered/removed to get that rating: https://www.refused-classification.com/censorship/games/w.html#wasteland-3. I don't know how this will affect the global release since the game has been heavily delayed due to the Pandemic but there's a theoretical possibility that all of them may be censored so the devs only have to develop and release one version of the game. Here are some other games that were either banned outright in Australia or heavily censored: VALKYRIE DRIVE -BHIKKHUNI (this was also banned in New Zealand (LINK), Germany (LINK), China (LINK), Iran (LINK - though the digital version is legal), Kenya (LINK), Pakistan (LINK) and Saudi Arabia (LINK)): https://www.refused-classification.com/censorship/games/v.html#valkyrie-drive-bhikkhuni The Bug Butcher: https://www.refused-classification.com/censorship/games/b.html#bug-butcher MeiQ: Labyrinth of Death: https://www.refused-classification.com/censorship/games/m.html#meiq-labyrinth-of-death Paranautical Activity: https://www.refused-classification.com/censorship/games/p.html#paranautical-activity Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number: https://www.refused-classification.com/censorship/games/h.html#hotline-miami-2-wrong-number Saints Row IV (banned outright in Saudi Arabia (LINK)): https://www.refused-classification.com/censorship/games/saints-row-4.html The Borderlands 3: Guns, Love, and Tentacles DLC has just been banned in Saudi Arabia, presumably because the whole thing is about Sir Hammerlock marrying his boyfriend.

Cal Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 (edited) Saint Row 4 was censored in Australia both the original PS3 version and the PS4 Remastered due to two things. One was a weapon called the Rectifier Probe which basically you would shove into enemies anuses and send them flying, and the other was a mission which involved characters smoking alien narcotics to gain superpowers. Both of these things were removed from the Australian version thankfully the PS4 is region free so just buy a American or European copy of the game. https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-08-02-cut-version-of-saints-row-4-finally-granted-australian-release Edited April 4, 2020 by Cerulean 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undead Wolf Posted April 4, 2020 Author Share Posted April 4, 2020 Thanks for the information, fellas. @HuntingFever I've added the vast majority of what you had in your last post to the list. It took a while. While it does look like Wasteland 3 has been censored to appease Australia's classification board, I can't add it to the list until we know what exactly has been altered and whether or not it affects all regions or just Australia. I will keep an eye out for it though. As for the FFVII stuff, it's to be expected that dialogue is re-written in a "rebuilt from the ground up" remake. That doesn't necessarily mean its censorship. When the game comes out, it'll be easier to directly compare scenes from the original and the remake, and if it's plausible that a change could be down to ideology or "modern day values", it'll be easier to justify adding it to the list.

Walt the Dog Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 (edited) Just popping in to mention that Yumeutsutsu Re:Master released today. As far as I know, there's been no confirmation of censorship yet, but then there's something notable about this game from it's mid-2019 release in Japan: despite having a few instances of nudity, most notably one instance of the entire ass of a legal loli character, the game suffered no censorship from it's PC release (which is easy to see as the PC release was all-ages to begin with). It's entirely possible that the English version is in the same boat given that part of its M rating is for Nudity (not even Partial Nudity, just Nudity). Kinda hard to check since the game is $65 on PSN and I dunno if anyone asked Degica about it, though assuming that version also got off uncensored, this could say something about how much Sony's policies are really in effect at this point seeing as the same game would've managed to get through not once, but twice, despite having content that should have been censored going off of previous history.

Whatever the case, no one should buy this game from PSN right now. If it were just $65 I would've bought it already (because it's yuri). However the "additional content" is another $50... Even if it's as long as Nurse Love Syndrome, $115 is asking too much, imo. Thankfully there's a multi-language version coming out that includes everything for a little over $60.

Would be nice to see if Sony's policy may have rolled back over time, but $65 for one game without any bonuses is ridiculous. Also worth looking out for Mary Skelter Finale while we're at it since the game's getting a PS4 release in spite of what happened to Mary Skelter 2. Could have the purification minigame cut and Compile Heart just decided to go ahead anyway as service to fans who stuck with them on Sony consoles, though assuming they can manage to get the minigame through on PS4, it could very well spell the end of Sony's policy given that lewd minigames were the first thing to get struck and would presumably be the last thing to get allowed back.

I did a bit of digging and found this: This seems to be a good sign, at least. Mary Skelter Finale, as you mentioned, will likely be a better indicator though. I also found out that there is a Vita version (of Yumeutsutsu) as well, but it has been delayed. At first, it seemed odd to me that only the Vita version would be affected. However, it makes sense when you consider that the Vita QA team is probably one guy working out of a supply closet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
