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…

You can see blood, flying corpses, body parts but you can't see bloomers or nipples...
That's how Television censorship in the US is. You can show as much violence as you want, but you can't show full frontal nudity. And it's the opposite in Japan.
we get to see insides being thrown about,but not non-violent things such as nipples?
Fuck you Sony... Fuck you in the ass with a steel bar.
A steel bar is too lenient.. chainsaw.. rev'd too.
HOW DARE THEY REMOVE BLOOMERS~!
-Dangling Bloody Optic Nerves?
-Sure, we don't mind!
-Gym clothes?
-Dear god man, are you out of your mind?!
Wow that sucks, theres no reason to buy it then since there is no story after all it was just getting the girls into position for the next scene that made it worth watching. Well, naturally with the enthusiastic sound of the Japanese Voice Actors adding to it. The game is on the Xbox360 and its 'uncut'? Hmmm, a chart will need to be made of cut and uncut versions of all games and the systems.
fuck consoles pc is a lot better.
I hated how Nintendo had them censor KimoKawaE something like one week prior to release. After seeing the heavily boner-inducing picture of a delicious loli-ass complete with secret parts in every article about the game, I finally ordered it. When I reached that scene ten minutes after starting the game, I found the secret place and large parts of the ass covered by an out-of-place-looking additional strap of cloth. I cried manly tears.
SO brutal carnage with blood, guts and gore with an eye being torn out is perfectly fine to be shown to EVERYONE but a random pair of bloomers is not >_>.....
Tentacles, lolis, and uber viloence is fine............but we better not see those nipples!
No nipples look weird... its like their FAKE!!!
Bras, Pantsu, Bloomers, etc are there for a reason: they're women, they're supposed to wear them
They want the pantsu removed? Then they must be asking for a nude game.
This article isnt about how Sony Sucks, its about how awesome PC is and how shitty all the consoles are :P
Sony's so wonderful, now isn't it?
Obviously, anyone who blindly follows the PS3 will have to think twice. Maybe it's time to give the other consoles a...
*gun clicks*
...Mysterious Voice, you are getting on my nerves.
Mysterious Voice: "That's what I'm here to do. Anyway, you were saying?"
...it was an isolated incident. Sony's still a lot better than Microsoft and Nintendo.
Mysterious Voice: "A little more..."
...Microsuck and Pretendo.
Mysterious Voice: "Better."
But weren't the other things with those other two guys isolated incidents themselves?
Mysterious Voice: "Don't argue with my logic." *gun fires...into a bulletproof vest*
What, you didn't think I'd catch on, would ya?
*rocket launcher fires*
Mysterious voiced is armed to the teeth isn't he?
Mysterious Voice: "If there's one thing this spineless wrench of a man is good at, it's planning ahead. That's okay, I'm pretty good at that, too, as well as doing everything else better than him."
Mysterious Voice: "Goddamnit, I meant WRETCH!
...this is an isolated incident. Do not judge me. *gun clicks*"
There ARE living, breathing 3D schoolgirls all over Japan wearing PE bloomers anyway! If you're in Tokyo, Osaka or wherever you live within viewing distance of a local secondary school, all you might need is a good ol' telescope or a trusty pair of binoculars!
Incorrect. Bloomers were brought to the brink of extinction years ago in Japan because of hysteria in the 90's.
Only a handful of educational institutions still protect the tradition of utilizing the bloomer.
The majority however have been switched to the use of spats / shorts (half pants).
Remember, the Japan you see in anime/games etc does not reflect reality accurately.
What are spats?
http://chan.sankakucomplex.com/?tags=spats&commit=Search
A word borrowed from English that does not retain it's original meaning.
In the end spats are much more fetishistic than buruma anyways (in the same league as the old sukumizu material wise :D) so all was really a pointless effort lol.
You can take away the bloomers, but at least give the Linux back to us!
This follows a perfect logic: the only right place for a girl to be using bloomers in is at P.E. class, and of course brutal mutilation is the only way to go in mythological Greece.
yeah sony is horrible, that's why you don't see that kratos stuff on the xbox360 because Microsoft is actually even worse...
I would expect stuff like this come from nintendo...but sony?? Seriously, wtf.
You know Sony checks all probly came in june when equlity now was browbeating the goverment into banning anything halfway perverted not feminazi raping schoolboys. So Sony checks was them coving there own assess so they wouldn't be accused of saling lolicon games if they did ban it.
Its the feminists fault isnt it? They're afraid of another shit storm from those fucking foreign feminists...hey cool, FFF.
Sony = The corporate version of Agnes Chan.
The pink-haired girl looks awesome.
Why buy expensive, censored games?
There are living, breathing, three-dimensional, flesh-and-blood junior high and high school girls in bloomers during PE time all over Japan!
Can Sony and Microsoft censor THAT?
Nope!
Just buy binoculars or a telescope!
Thank you USA!
Sony has been invaded by Ines.
I think life in Japan was better under the late Emperor Shôwa!
And now I wonder. What should I buy?
X360 that doesn't last. Or PS3 that has censors.
Censors ruin the game itself.
I think I'll pick X360. Might as well get screwed than view censored materials.
w.. what!??
WTF SONY??
Kanbaru Suruga is disappointed ):<
shooting in your own feet is the last trend now? wow
its been a while since, not only sony but nintendo too( and this last one here, IMHO, the most puritan evah)are doing such things, thinking just in numbers, statistics and forgetting what games are all about...
Sony comes with their graphics, nintendo with its revolutionary ideas, both cutting, slicing, purging all "non related content" under their seal of approval...
MS? nah...they have to grow a little more to become a filthy company...
like i said, they are forgetting what games are all about, what be a gamer is all about...
I know exactly what it means to be a gamer, having gamed through most of my savings, forgetting everything I was ever taught in all education facilities I was a student at
- because of pokemon, mostly -
wait... I forgot my original point... what does it mean to be a gamer?
......
a gamer, people who dedicate himself (or spare their time) to gain more knowledge about game (usually video game, maybe poker player a gamer too), rated the game, share it with other gamer or mere common people (this share thing is more into hobbies),LOVE THE GAME, and HAVE FUN WITH IT.
I agree with shoranhimura
make me remember tetris and SMB, developer make it for fun, we played it because it's fun, WE PAYED THEM SO THEY CAN MAKE MORE GAMES, and they love doing that LIKE A CHARITY (yes, charity. Don't forget why we have homebrewers).
Now, gaming industry is serious business..
it is same as stock..
my bad, double post..

What im trying to say is: they forgot the feeling of being a gamer, of being the heads behind the show that lead us to enterteiment...
Now its only a metter of financial statistics, sales rate and so on...not blaming them for the captalism but hey, every man and woman working in this busness were once a gamer probably...
they started working with it for their passion, their desire to create something good, enjoyble, unique...
now, all that metter is atach rates, sales rate, money rate, rates, rates, rates...
thats the point, they forgot why they were there for in the first place...
Pokemon? How the fuck young are you.
NINTENDO 64!!11one!1!1one1!
Nintendo 64 FTW!!!!!!
n64 emulator for the pc ftwaitaminute...... well it works at least XD
hmm... so Sony is not ok for bloomers because they want to protect the innocence. That must be the reason why they want to release God of War III because its safe for the kids................
....
Wait...
Learn cutting and slicing with Kratos!
not only will you gain all the respect you ever wanted (after playing thruogh the game).
But you also will learn that bloomers and nipples are always bad-bad, but gore and violence is always win-win.
I knew it. Xbox REALLY is for VNfags like me.
