Enjoy staring at the butt of the lead actress.

Crazy talk, sexually attractive female characters have been a common theme for Sony this gen:

Shows 3 pictures of 2nd party korean and japanese games that Sony funded yet had no direct input in designs,2 of which aren't even released yet.

Now show everyone some direct western first party studio shots Sony actually was involved in designing:

If you think the same company churning out this visual diarrhea is capable of a Stellar Blade type design then you're not thinking straight.
 
I honestly have no idea who she is and BELIEVE me, I'd love to know as much as you. I just found it in a GAF thread a year or so ago and it's my go to ass picture 😂
I believe you...

WHERE THE FUCK is the receipt guy on this side. I need some dirt on this mofo for keeping treasures from us.

But seriously, thx anyway bro

Why did they have no direct input on these, but they did on the examples you posted below? You will always have creative control over a game you're publishing (not thst it means they will always interfere on it, of course).

You think Concord didn't look exactly like this before Sony acquired Firewalk?

Not PS5 gen. In fact, this is from the ""greatest PlayStation era"", PS4, oversaw by the ""old-school leadership"" of sigma males like Shuhei Yoshida, Shawn Layden and Andrew House.

1.- Started development before Sony acquired the company; check.
2.- No direct involvement from Sony (as per the literal acquisition clause); check.
3.- Not released yet (same exact argument you used); check.

What same company? Those are by three different studios, Sony only develops, by themselves, family-oriented games like Astro Bot.
The most reasonable take is that Sony doesn't really give a fuck about this and allows everything. Why else would they tell ArcSys to do what they do best? Why else would they even publish Stellar Blade if they're, according to you, against a big theme of what the game revolves around?
You must be in some special kind of denial if you think that modern Sony, the publisher behind fucking Stellar Blade, is somehow against sexually attractive female characters.

So let me get this straight:

Firewalk designed the shittiest characters imaginable on their own then pitched it to Sony and then Sony went fuck yeah lets buy them. That's AFTER seeing the designs,and you think that helps your case here? 😂

That just proves my point! They WANTED that shit,you just said so!

Marathon as well it seems. Again,YOUR own words! They BOUGHT these two studios AFTER seeing the shitty designs!

So either they are too incompetent to see how bad designs can impact a game's reception(which they found out harshly with Concord) or they do WANT that ugly shit!

Which one is it?

I'll give you TLOU2 as indeed it was created in the PS4 generation,though you can be remised to think that when its remaster is put at the forefront of PS5's library but sure +1 to you.

I literally told you that they most likely don't give a fuck. Firewalk's acquisition came from a time where their original parent company was (and still is) struggling hard, while they were developing a game for SIE, and Bungie's situation is way more complex than simply going "uh there's one lame-looking female character", especially when they already had Destiny 2 as a major success.
That just proves my point! They WANTED that shit,you just said so!
No, it doesn't. Your entire point is that Sony is specifically against sexually attractive female character, and that's just factually false.
But ok, explain by your own words why exactly your vision of what modern Sony is would want to associate itself with Stellar Blade. Go ahead.
 
Stellar Blade is the Sony game featured THE MOST on State of Plays/Showcases, btw. More than Spider-Man 2, more than Astro Bot.

I'll never understand how as a society, we determined a bare buttock, something every human has, justifies something being for adults only. But acts of war and violence are often completely fine for 13+ and only hit a limit if it's sufficiently gratuitous.
Religion plays a large part of shaping this societal norm. Oddly, I've gone through periods of time where I read much of the bible, and I haven't come across any parts that really makes a big deal of exposing the human form. I'm not saying it's not in there, but it's definitely not a prevalent theme.

Brother,Sony is the company censoring nudity in games on their store,on the eshop they are left uncensored,Sony was the only company censoring DMC5 during the PS4 release and they have yet to provide a single sexy character from their first party production pipeline. I don't have to explain anything else,the facts speak for themselves.

Might be hard for you to believe due to me badmouthing them alot but I love Sony,I love all 3 big hardware makers and if you see my posts in general, I lay into all 3,I dislike the current management of all 3 and whenever I dislike shit I say it like it is!

I want these companies to do good and prosper but that can only be achieved when people start criticising them when they fuck up not take it like it is or worse,defend them when they don't deserve and I'm not saying you do that,you have your own point of view on them while I have my own,but in the end despite my constant criticizing I do love the PlayStation brand, it's what I grew up with and most of my fondest memories come from PS but I can still criticise and take sarcastic remarks at them whenever I don't agree with their direction.

Anyway, it's late(for me) and this is a weekend to celebrate gaming,especially after two great presentations and we've derailed this thread enough.

Let's just agree to disagree:

These are guidelines set by different divisions and shouldn't necessarily reflect the position of PlayStation Studios/Studio Business Group/whatever part of the company is at the helm of Hermen Hulst (who is literally approving every 1st or "2nd party" game).
Oh well.
 
Good to know, I thought for sure they'd cut that from this one... "can't have any of that for female characters, but it's okay for dudes" is their usual MO

Doesn't apply here since the character isn't a "conventionally attractive" female whose face and body would sexually appeal to the average heterosexual male. American and Canadian AAA Western female character designs have to be crafted within the parameters of intersectional feminist and LGBT sensibilities to some extent. This has been an obvious pattern for a long time now.

Fun fact, that line about "incontinentia buttocks" wasn't originally in the script. It was ad-libbed on set, and the reaction of the guards completely cracking up is totally real.
 
I prefer the more tomboy body type of the actress if she is supposed to be hacking up men. I don't want the actress to be a skinny ass waifu if the game is trying to be grounded in reality

I know you used them as jokes but I would totally hit both the Concord alien and the runner from Marathon. The concord girl looks like she is into some freaky shit.
 
I'll never understand how as a society, we determined a bare buttock, something every human has, justifies something being for adults only. But acts of war and violence are often completely fine for 13+ and only hit a limit if it's sufficiently gratuitous.
That's what happens when society becomes filled with virtue signalers my friend.

Prove them wrong then and go out with your buttocks out.
 
Esrb is helpful but sometimes they become spoiler with some details, just for example for Death stranding 2 esrb rating. The good sign about this game is I did not see any mention of woke twisted gender ideology in the game. I hope that is the case in the final product.
 
Well, main character is suitably unattractive so the usual "male gaze" BS doesn't apply.

I'm sure it's going to be a very flat and shapeless ass nevertheless.
