Gory horror game The Evil Within 2 (known as “Psycho Break 2” in Japan) has been massacred by censors in Japan, a turn of events demonstrating that Japanese attitudes to the wholesomeness of ultraviolence still lag their betters in the US and elsewhere, despite the game having been developed in Japan.
Some of the censorship involves grotesque depictions of viscera being blacked out and the camera panning away from the gore during death sequences, as well as the complete removal of nipples – all things that more modernized countries like the US allow in their titles.
A video covering the game’s censorship:
Those looking to play the game without any unnecessary censorship can do so now with the western release.
This game is frekkin awesome!!
Remember this series is meant to have a pseudo Resident Evil 4 connection due to Mikami. Famously RE4 had all decapitations removed in the Japan release. Standards have not changed, so it’s nothing for people to whine about. It’d be hilarious though if there were fanservice scenes censored in a US cut though.
Pretty lame. But at least Japan gets uncensored l♥♥i pantsu.
the best pantsu.
Wow. Assuming that only the Japanese version are out there but that’s not even actually the case and most of the people here could probably read/spoke English anyway, all complaints are pretty much a moot point.
It’s not a moot point. If you don’t like censorship it would be hypocritical to be okay with it happening to someone else.
So Japan gets boobs while we in the west get blood.Seems like a fair trade.
Nope, give me the ladies beautiful underdressed bodies. Yo can watch all the bloodied innards you like in exchange.
That’s how I feel about it.
