Forcing users to buy a new TV to get that feature seems to be a bit of a tall order.

That feature doesn't preclude it from working with fixed sync TVs, it's just a nice bonus if you happen to have a recent or high-end one. Adaptive sync is the new HDR.

They should already be doing quality control to keep steam shovelware and asset flips off their store anyway, that accounts for a pretty big chunk of porn games on its own.

iirc, isn't the general theory that it's part of a broad image cleanup for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games?

Aside from some localization studios getting hosed over by the edict coming down from on high without any advance warning (and thus having to burn money to patch out explicit content), it's mostly been enforced to shut down the really skeevy underage poo poo that shouldn't have flown in the first place. They need some proper tangible guidelines, like Sakurazuka brings up, but it's actually coming from a good place.

Stuff like CD Projekt RED titles all have very solidly-mature consenting adult characters doing adult things, or in context. The stuff getting dinged often is less definitive on the matter if not just outright... not :barf:.

Actually it prevents wise-rear end game devs from toeing the letter of the law. A “common-sense” appraisal is a more realistic idea because it means that at the end of the day you need to be able to showcase that your product isn’t a creepy loli-fantasy, not just point to arbitrary guidelines and say “no see we have explicitly stated in at least two sidequests that she is 1,000 year old Dragonborn, she just wears diapers because...”

People melting down over this are pretty obviously not worried about The Witcher 3, etc.

Oh yeah I fully agree there's cases getting dinged where they need to not be quite so trigger-happy, but mostly it's doing what badly needed doing.

What are you all playing this week? I’m still in my vidya game limbo but am exxxtremely hyped for MK11 next week so I’ll be playing that a bunch. Sometimes having a “side game” like MK that I can jump into for 15 minutes whenever puts me in a mood to get into a longer more involved game. Weird how that works but I’m sure I’m not alone.

A guideline isn't a law. You can easily have guidelines and still say gently caress off to someone trying to get away with poo poo.

That came 10 years ago, the studio doesn’t do stuff like that anymore and also violence is difference than pedophilia.

Don’t make defending Japanese pedophile pornographers the hill you die on, especially with that user name dude.

If you're a big publisher you can do whatever the gently caress you want. Like even Manhunt on PS2 has on screen dick, there's the devil's droopy dong in Dante's Inferno, etc. And of course like Sakurazuka says you can do whatever brutal violence you want too.

But guess what, people acting like this is a bias against Japanese games are still dumb as dogshit for thinking that (hell look at the current subtitle of this thread!) because all of the characters in the examples I mentioned don't look like they're 13 years old. It's even dumber to complain about this today too when if all you really want is creepy as poo poo anime art games you can literally just log onto Steam.

No, but they should ask him to stop putting urination sequences in. I really don’t think the artistic integrity of Cage’s projects would be compromised without them.

WRT to the SSD, someone in another topic pointed out that it sounds like it's going to be a large cache drive instead of the console being entirely SSD based.


So think like 32-64 gigs of high speed ssd close to the cpu along with a larger hdd for general game storage

That sounds highly unlikely to me. A cache drive means you'll still have the exceedingly long load times of current generation titles and won't be able to materialize the cost savings a soldered-on SSD would bring in manufacturing. SSD only is pretty much the only realistic option.

The XBox division REALLY wants it to be a service with everyone playing Xbox games on every device every via cloud streaming, and it's just not in the cards for a lot of reasons.

The discless model's not even priced well, when you can get an XBone S in a bundle for the same price.
