Maybe news, maybe not:

I suspect it probably is just a silly joke, nothing more. I do wonder why he brought it up though...

Yeah, not a very good one. Silly is definitely the word.

Most ideal would be that he either plays the villain or even Dante, least would be he just started playing the games and is getting into them and is making jokes. Either way, it's not indicative of anything except that he knows the game.

In breaking news:

Sharing pics of Watch Dogs 2’s genitals could get you kicked off PSN​

​

I found a vagina in Watch Dogs 2 and Sony suspended me for sharing

I received my copy of Watch Dogs 2 on Saturday evening due to a mistake on Amazon Prime Now and I've been having a great time with the game so far. On Sunday evening I accidentally blew up a few women in a back alley with a gas pipe and then I saw *it*; someone at Ubisoft had rendered a full vagina on one (or maybe more) of the females in the game.

I took a picture of this funny oversight with the ingame camera and shared it on twitter for my friends to see and I posted it in one of the Watch Dogs early release threads on here. Cut to tonight where I can't access any services while playing the game and then when I tried to sign in there was a very brief message about my account being suspended.

I checked my emails and this is what I have received from Sony:

"We’re writing to inform you that your Sony Entertainment Network account has been temporarily suspended.

We’ve made this decision based on your online activity in Live from PlayStation on 14-11-2016.

Content of an adult or sexual nature is against our Code of Conduct.

The suspension will last 1 week and will be lifted on 21-11-2016. You won’t be able to access online multiplayer, PlayStation Store and other network features until the suspension is over.

We take the decision to suspend an account very seriously, and we only do so after one of our moderators has carefully analysed the situation. PlayStation Support therefore cannot overturn this moderation decision.

We ask all our players to act decently, respectfully and with consideration for us and other players while using PlayStation Network. To make sure you understand the behaviour we expect from our community, please review the Code of Conduct here before returning to PlayStation Network. Please be aware that any further breaches of the Code of Conduct may result in a longer suspension or even a permanent ban.

Yours sincerely,

SIEE Moderation"

So I now have a new game that relies heavily on online features that I won't be able to enjoy this week and a mark on my record for an easy ban whenever they next decide I've exposed them for being crap at cert.

Do you guys think they were right to suspend me for sharing content they've allowed on their platform?

I dont understand how a service can suspend you for sharing something that has passed certification on their platform.

 

[Innsmouth]

Its part of user rights list that people confirm when they instal new software. Its like this: you can watch porn on your PS4 but you can't share pics of it. So sadly Sony can ban for this. Its the same as for example Steam that blocked certain games from streaming and you can get in trouble if you find way to do it.

I forgot to mention, that's not mine. That comes from a gaming blog.

Well, for that I think it's the same as any other online community regulations. The material is approved for the enjoyment of adults but a the online services and communities where you can share the parts of the game you captured have a family friendly guideline. It's a large corporate entity and if someone's mom walks in with their kid looking at Watch Dogs 2 badly made digital vegina the parents are not going to go 'oh well, it's my responsibility to watch over my kid and monitor their gaming activity,' they're going to take out on Sony.

That explains the "nudity" label. Gonna have to watch out for that so my brother doesn't see it.

You can't be serious.

This reminds me of the Mass effect collectors edition

That's right. I actually forgot about those but I did hear about them.

What is this bull****? Why call it the collector's edition of the game if it doesn't come with the game? Call it bonus toys or something but why in the bleeding hell do developers think that it's ok to sell a more expensive version of the game without the actual game? Isn't that the main selling point of any collector's edition?

We've let this happen. Gamers keep paying and buying games despite the crap developers do and developers have no issues taking our money. DLC is such garbage because of gamers support it, developers do stupid things, like selling out the game in pieces because gamers keep buying the games, anyway, and now collector's edition of a game don't actually come with the game. I know making games is tremendously expensive but damn it if EA doesn't obviously just milk people for all they're worth. Worst company, god knows how many years, and when their greedy and a'hole tactics work all other companies follow their example.

I hear you. I have this issue with WD2 in how they sold a seasons pass, a deluxe edition, a gold edition, a San Francisco edition, etc. all before we got a demo or even a chance to see if we liked the game. And then there is the fact that WD1 wasn't all that well received and because of that, they're preorder numbers were low. Like, what did they expect when you sell your second game with a mixed first game for 100s of dollars?

I actually laughed harder than I should about RE7 :woot::woot::woot:

 

[Innsmouth]

So it seems RE7 may feature game after all:

maybe its miscommunication or capcom flip flopped but seems game will be included in CE after all

Maybe they realized just how bad an idea it was and made right on the decision.

considering controversy around RE7 I think they done good job at changing policies.

Invader Studios was born as Invader Games in 2014 from the passion of a small group of italian game developers for survival horror games. The studio worked on "Resident Evil 2 Reborn", an unofficial remake of Capcom's 1998 classic which has drawn more than 1 million views on YouTube as of today. The project was interrupted when the official Resi 2 remake was announced in 2015, at that time Invader Studios received an invitation from Capcom to visit their headquarters in Osaka, Japan. Currently the team is focused on the production of its own survival horror game, “Daymare: 1998” with the artistic contribution of Capcom's former designer Satoshi Nakai.

PC Version Available on Shenmue.link

There have been many requests for the PC version pre-order option during the Slacker Backer Campaign, and now that agreements by all affiliated parties have been finalized, Shenmue.link is accepting Shenmue III PC version pre-orders as of today. As always, sales from the PC version will also help towards the Stretch Goals.

Just as with the Kickstarter, backers will be able to choose whether they would like the PS4 version or the PC version. For example, if you have pledged for the PS4 version, you can still switch to the PC version, or vice versa. Backers will be able to make their choice during the backer surveys.

[Innsmouth]
