The notorious “Sony check,” where Sony makes frequently puritanical demands of developers in order to keep any hint of sex off its consoles, seems to have reached new lows, with one developer describing how Sony would insist characters wearing normal gym kit be removed unless they had a compelling reason for sporting them…
The game in question is WWII mecha-musume moe strategy game MoeMoe Niji Taisen, as previously featured, and the developer was recently quizzed about the removal of nipples and other censorship imposed upon the title:
For the PlayStation version, for the raunchier CG the checks were supposed to be quite harsh. Just what was all this about?
For the PlayStation and DS the checks were very harsh indeed. We had to redraw things and have them rechecked any number of times.
For example, there were scenes where characters came on in bloomers. This was deemed no good, they had to have a reason for being there, and if so they passed.
Microsoft were relatively liberal.
So can you still see the nipples poking through their swimsuits?
Unfortunately, on all the console versions the nipples were removed.
What he means is this:
The previous PC version was quite fully featured in this regard:
The game itself is due December for the PS2.
So it seems that whilst scenes of delightful carnage like those seen below can count on release without apparent difficulty, something so scandalous as a pair of bloomers can expect to be ruthlessly purged from Sony’s wholesome PlayStation…

Apperently Sony want's us all to run around slughtering like in God of War... and forget the idea about love careing... or reproduction for that matter :P
Did Kratos just shove Helios decapitated head up his ass???
God why can't they keep bloomers... it's not like there being run by agne... oh shit check the staff names quick!
VIVA PANTALONES!!!!!
Yeah. They almost seem like americans. ^^
Hey, at least Sony has pride ;D
sony are not the selfless protector of innocence
heavy rain has a nude stripping scene but it's alright cause it's all white
no japs and there odd perversions
sony is no international they are not japanese
Goddam Sony fags should die, Sony should go broke. I'm certainly no M$ fan, but seeing this I hope they sink Sony Shitstation soon...
Are there any underground video game consoles?
^a pc?
(and teams upon teams of hackers re-lolita-fying and re-bloomer-fying games)
your pc
Yes.
1. Go outside and find a nice patch of dirt.
2. Dig a hole.
3. Put your console in it.
4. Bury it.
5. ???
6. Profit!
well if MS would allow for underground eroges on their Xbox that'd really make tables turn for their console in Japan.
There must be a group behind Sony. What group is it!? Equality Now? UNICEF?
:V
OH CMON, you naughty little beastes already playd this game on your PC, or do you really think you wouldve bought it on Playstation 3?
Seriously, why do you people all focus on sex? Cant you live for something more important?
Get a job for example.
Ohhh the harsh truuuth! Im mad, man, im mad.
the heavy rain stripping scene is comprise of the girl being forced at gunpoint while she shout dame
sony is not with UNICEF
heavy rain is ps3 exclusive with boobs
Job is boring. Sex is fun. Too much work and little fun is making Hom... I mean Jack... I mean... you surely got the point.
more like, Sony is intruding on the few enjoyments I take when I'm not on my stressful job.
zzz it's called a hobby and you're an idiot if you think if you can think of anything more important than sex.
"Get a job for example.
Ohhh the harsh truuuth! Im mad, man, im mad."
I'm a Medical Engineer(MSc) at 22, you? You work at a truckstop? Oh sorry, a mcDonalds, my mistake.
Don't make assumptions based on ignorance.
Why is a Medical Engineer on SC?
For the articles mayhaps?
Maybe he's into petanko?
Does it matter?
i prefer my medical engineers not into penis destruction articles...
Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the technology. We have the capability to build the world's first bionic penis. Kortaku will have that penis. Better than it was before. Better, stronger, longer.
:P
And yet sex is in GTA... really facepalm to much when i talk about sony
Wasn't that a patch that someone wrote and distributed and not released by sony or rockstar?
Don't forget that the so-called sexy strippers in GTA are extremely boner breakers.. Guess Sony's attitude is they won't censor it if it's pig disgusting.
Do we all forget Sony's own studio had tits all over the place, in God of War?
Decapitations FTW!
Godfuckingdammit.
there ruining themselves by being so strict with developers. i have nevers seen any one complain about a characters appearance regardless of what they were wearing....
never heard of equality now? :|
People who matter they mean.
Because having your console promoted as a platform catering to pedophiles is a good business plan?
Most and by that i mean just about the entire western market wont know any better.
Sony does not cater just to Japan and thus enforces these rules globally. Or you rather have them bring back the region lock?
I would prefer the region lock. Sometimes, the price is too high... too high...
Catering to everyone. That just includes pedophiles, by chance. Everyone wins is the best business plan.
Do you live on the moon or some shit?
I wouldn't mind the removement of bloomers ... =)
Wait whut!?! >:@ FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Wow a 4chan meme. Congrats, go masturbate and cry yourself to sleep now.
Internet Tough Guy sighted.
Tentacles, lolis, and uber viloence is fine............but we better not see those nipples!
Ina related story some Microsoft execs are rejoicing at Sony's decision to shoot themselves in the foot after such a success.
Is the xbox still competing with the PS2? If so, they should give up because they are way behind.
You think M$ are being any more liberal than Sony? Think again. If this is "shooting yourself in the foot", then M$ is about to fire a fucking rocket launcher in the ground.

For removing unauthorized storage? Anyone with half a brain should know that anything without the golden seal, be it for the PS3 or 360, is not guaranteed to work with it. I it a dick move? Yes. Is it a surprise? Not by a long shot.
Enjoy your useless Chinese knock controllers for the PS3.
I believe the people who are in a place to decide on such things are quite intelligent and do not have any problem with such content. But they fear the minorities that could cause bad press. It's all about self-censorship.
And that's the problem. Sony is a powerful electronics conglomerate. Since there's objectively nothing wrong with the content they censor, they have the very best of chances to wipe the floor with every feminist/moralist organization that makes the mistake of picking a fight with them over this (and this is what needs to happen or no news outlet will care enough to give them bad press) - there is absolutely no reason for them to be spineless cowards. Especially in the Japanese market, they're hurting their sales with this policy.
but, "it's a sony" just don't cut it like it used to
heh
ITS A SONY
