Company policy Sony in relation to Japanese developers wishing to release on consoles Playstation their games, has long been raising questions. This is about the real censorship itself. In particular, the platform holder does not allow for “nudity” those games that do not raise questions from competitors from Nintendo…
However, the CEO CyberConnect2 Hiroshi Matsuyama stated that the requirements Sony Interactive Entertainment much more severe than it seemed before. The studio is currently developing a game based on the franchise “Demon Cuts Blade“(Kimetsu no Yaiba / Demon Slayer).
Discussing the peculiarities of the Japanese rating system (CERO) and the level of violence in his new project, Matsuyama said that Japanese developers have to comply with additional requirements imposed by the SIE censors. Otherwise, studios will simply not be allowed to release their projects on consoles. Playstation…
One of the requirements was a ban on dismemberment. As an example, the CEO of CyberConnect2 cited Naruto: Ultimate Ninja… In the manga, the character Minato Namikaze lost an arm, but in the game he has all the limbs in place.
An even greater absurdity was happening in Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4where Naruto and Saska lost one hand each. In the game, their limbs were depicted as “blackened”.
But the SIE guidelines are not well-established. The platform owner saw no problems in the game Dragon ball z: kakarot, wherein Nappa cuts off a hand Tienou… Matsuyama connects this with the fact that the franchise Dragon ball better known and older than Naruto…
Given this, questions arise for the game. Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba… According to the plot, in order to win, the demon needs to chop off his head with a special blade or use a special poison. It is possible that the project will be censored.
Sony Interactive Entertainment itself does not see a problem with internal studios adding violence, dismemberment, and so on to their games (God of war, The last of us). Therefore, the company can be accused of hypocrisy.
