Censorship bad and all that, but if I'm honest going for upskirt shots isn't my idea of fun gameplay. Photography in general isn't. There's only ever been one instance of fun photography in all of gaming history, and that's Pokemon Snap.

 

[adamsapple]

Show us the email you got for canceling the order.

 

[Krathoon]

I wonder if people can mod the game and put it back in. I bet it is easy to put back in.

It may even just be switched off.

 

[NickFire]

Modern audiences do not want things that make guys laugh and talk about a product. I just hope the devs of this remaster are true allies. Don't just omit this silly achievement. No no no. I expect an apology for the sexism of the original on a splash screen. And strict moderation. If someone so much as points a camera in a woman's direction without her consent, their account should be permanently banned.

 

[TMLT]

We're somehow becoming more liberal and more conservative at the same time.

 

[HoodWinked]

It really is insane that game studios screw up and miss major things in games. But when it comes to censoring the most benign things they raise to an insane brain surgeon level of meticulousness finding every little esoteric detail that needs to be cut. How the fuck? why don't you put this kind of energy into making the actual fucking games.

 

[Killer8]

Disappointing but not surprising. The writing was on the wall years ago when we saw the leaked Capcom slides showing how they were going to censor their own games. And if they didn't, they'd have the whole gaming press up against them.

I will still get the game as it otherwise looks like an upgrade over the original and I basically never used the photography mechanic anyway. I actually forgot this existed until the news reminded me.

They have to focus on these things because people are dying from them. And please show some respect. Game devs should never be compared to brain surgeons. While a brain surgeon may save a brain or two every day, these brave and noble game devs are saving millions of brains every single day from the horrors of unchecked locker room talk. These are the hero's we need. F them brain surgeons. They never did shit.

They better not sensor the fighting game collections.

The Marvel vs. Capcom Collection better not have censorship.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

Hasn't censorship already been confirmed for that? Naturally, people come out and try to minimize it like "Whatever, it's only a tiny part of the game, who cares?", but it's bullshit.

 

[Krathoon]

Yeah. it looks like they censored the Darkstalker's release in the fighting collection. What the hell, Capcom? Just give it an M rating.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

They apparently are changing stuff in the MVC stages, editing the ending of The Punisher, etc. I also wouldn't be surprised if they removed stuff like Morrigan's win pose, like they did back when the game initially came to the States.

These compilation re-releases are almost never designed to give you a better experience than what's already out there. Anyway, sorta off topic.

 

[Lambogenie]

Ban dodging red lights in GTA.

Perverts in real life are bad. Perverts in games. Ehh, my private time lemme have it.

Capcom Fighting Collection

Capcom Fighting Collection is a compilation of fighting video games that were developed and published by Capcom. The video game set was released on June 24, 2022. The game content was censored worldwide. All censorship present in the Capcom Arcade Stadium Collection applies to this game.[1] Art...

censorship.fandom.com

Play the original Arcade roms or past home releases.

They don't have any quality of life features, and here's a quick guide to the difficulty settings:

1 star - Literally Impossible without exploiting the CPU
2 stars - Same as above.
3 stars - Same as above
4 stars - Same as above

Because Capcom were too lazy to re-balance their Arcade games, for HOME RELEASES.

But, people like you that aren't conservative or sexual prudes, don't deserve these shiny Collections.

 

[Krathoon]

Yeah. I did not know they censored the fighting games. It is not major, but it is annoying.

There was no drastic censorship.

Edit: Correction. They did take out the secret endings on the DarkStalkers games. Boo.

I remember that I kept hoping for a new Darkstalkers games for years and years, Darkstalkers 2 and 3 being two of the best games ever made.
Never got one, was bummed the fuck out everytime.

But now in the 2024, I would rather Capcom just straight up say they won't ever make a new one, so I can let out a sigh of relief.

A society where every woman and their dog (sometimes with) are throwing themselves on onlyfans under the guise of "empowerment" - all good

Having a bit of naughty fun in a videogame photography mode - no bueno

Just noticed that ex gaf member MMaRsu has reposted your reply on the Twitter thread I've linked in my OP, lol.

 

[peek]

I'm just voicing MY opinion in that I think this particular feature is creepy and perverted. It's not like I was a major factor in Capcoms decision to remove it for everyone else. If they had decided to include it and let the game be untouched I wouldn't have objected to it either. I would've just moved on. It's the devs decision, and this time it's a decision I agree with, hence I'm saying what I think.

The movie analogy is a poor comparison too, since movies and games are fundamentally different. Movies are passive entertainment and a scene like this would've have probably played off differently in the eyes of the viewer, more akin to voyeurism. Games are interactive and let's you participate in these actions and act like a creep who gets awarded for taking pictures of women's crotches is not something I would enjoy. It's the same as I wouldn't want to play a rape simulator either. Or a dude shooting up the school. As I said before, some things I think are morally wrong and this feature in DR is one of them.

Yup, and we can all laugh and mock the devs for making this decision.

Boooo! Lame. Buncha prudes nowadays.

I went ahead and bought the original Dead Rising for $2.60 on PC. Censorship BS = insta no buy.

Honestly wouldnt be surprised if they de-list sometime soon. I believe they did this with DQ11 right?

Well at least on ps5

[digital_ghost]

At the time of this news, Pornhub's stock on the fuck market fell by 12%

 

[Kings Field]

All censorship is garbage. Speak with your wallet, I just did.

 

[peek]

Holup!! It cost that much in the first place?? Naah, i didnt even know it was gonna cost that much. Now with them toning down things down... most definitely not buying this shit lol.

 

[Kacho]

Really lame move

 

[Krathoon]

Yeah. Just play the original. The graphics are fine. You will get more nostalgia from it.

 

[cinnamonandgravy]

we're so mature now

 

[nickplaysgames404]

Lame!

The only thing missing in that tweet are GAF quote tags, lol.

 

[CherryFalls]

never played any of these games but was interested with the remaster announcement. Wont bother now.

 

[U n i o n 0015]

Yeah. Just play the original. The graphics are fine. You will get more nostalgia from it.

It's not even like the mechanics have aged horribly. And it's usually 70/30 odds as to whether a remaster is going to destroy the original art style or not.

 

[HeWhoWalks]

How about don't buy the game if you don't like it. Removing it for everyone because some find it creepy?
For classic movies with creepy scenes, should they remove the creepy scenes when they are re-released?

Gimme a break.

Exactly.

No different than those people who want to see a certain type/genre of game die because they don't like it. You could just .....I know this is gonna sound wild..... not buy the product. Problem solved.

 

[Edgelord79]

Pretty stupid to begin with. But whatever…

 

[Lokaum D+]

Lol

 

[Crayon]

Haha.
Seriously, I think some things are alright to change when "modern audiences" means "we're forty now". In other words, I don't think you necessarily need to blame woke for something like this. This change could easily happen in a more sane world.

 

[JohnnyPhats]

Guess the Reset pussies got to them

 

[Esca]

Censorship can go suck it long and hard

 

[Werewolf Jones]

He clearly wants back in. Any way to appeal to get this mfer back or did he go too far?

 

[GametimeUK]

I don't see what's so bad about it. It's just dumb fun. Bullshit woke censorship as usual. Hardly surprising.

 

[ssringo]

This doesn't really bother me in and of itself. But it does cause me to wonder what else they're messing with. Probably gonna be a wait and see what others turn up before purchasing situation. I like Dead Rising but it's also the only Dead Rising game I like so I'm in no hurry.

 

[Astral Dog]

Of course not.

Can't be having that in 2024 can we now?

We live in very strange times, everything is fetishistic and oversexualized, except when certain people in power say random thing its problematic then it must be censored immediatly to achieve moral purity

 

[Krathoon]

Old games used to have racey stuff in them. It was a thing. The Elder Scrolls games had nudity.

I notice Baldur's Gate 3 and Cyberpunk both buck the trend. Good for them. PC games tend to be more rebellious.

First they took Frank's voice and now they've lopped off part of his PP.

 

[Syphon Filter]

of course wokies are defending this in this thread.

 

[adamsapple]

Not just any part, the erotic part.

 

[jcorb]

God, I fucking hate video games today. Can’t let anything just be stupid or fun.

I had a feeling, but this kind of seals the deal that the remake is just gonna be another “modern” game for “modern audiences”.

Totally off my radar now.

 

[K' Dash]

This wouldn’t prevent me from getting the game, it’s just sad the state of the industry as a whole regarding this stuff.
