SHIFT UP's action game Stellar Blade is a day away from release and there's already been some controversy that isn't sexual for a change, as Sony says it will remove in-game artwork that shows βhard R' due to unintentional racism.
In Stellar Blade, there's an βR Shop' referencing the information broker Roxanne. There's also βHard' graffiti that can be found in numerous parts of the game. However, there's one instance in Stellar Blade where the graffiti and R Shop are shown next to each other, showing what appears to reference a racist slur, which Sony claims was βunintentional.β
Sony provided a statement on the matter:
βThe placement of two graphics near each other in Stellar Blade resulted in an unintentional objectionable phrase. Shift Up had no intention of creating offensive artwork and will be replacing the graffiti for the Day 1 patch.β
When asked if there are any plans to remove the art from the physical games as well, a PlayStation representative said that it βShould be removed for all users in the Day 1 update.β
The patch has since gone live and the βHard R' artwork has since been changed to say βCrime' instead:
Seethe in the comments:
All of you fricking idiots were warned! But no βIt's going to be uncensoredβ, βIt's a based game guys!β Bunch of stupid fricking weebs, weebs are fricking laughing stock.
If you're a weeb, then you're calling yourself a subhuman who has no spine whatsoever.
Where's the lie?
You cope too much cute twink. KEEP YOURSELF SAFE you cuck
Ibought two copies because i have tons of money to spend unlike you, you born poor and will die as poor lmfao enjoy working 7$/hr at fast food
America is a mistake.
The corrupt West deserves to be nuked and obliterated completely.
Eastoids still bussyblasted at a lil' bit of nuke correction.
And the idots were attacking you for stating the truth. This is why weebs are cucks. They live in their own little world like a filthy basement dweller.
!nonchuds I will remind you all that the reason why 4chan stays alive is because Hiro gets paid by research groups who want to study the link between anime and rightoid extremism.
Rightoids are beyond parody
And here's another article whining about Stellar Blade.
It's the usual over virtual cleavage so not gonna' bother with a write up.
While we're talking about Shift Up let me bring up their now dead gacha game Destiny Child. I really liked the OST the game had

Niru is a very famous MapleStory streamer who became the first person to ever reach 299 lvl. Ever since then a huge amount of people in the community have been watching his streams and waiting for him to get to lvl 300, even the devs were watching him. In his final stream, he managed to get 299 99.99% and immediately logged off the game and started shit-talking the devs right in front of 20k viewers on Twitch
What's even funnier is the fact that the official Maplestory account on Twitter had already made a tweet congratulating him

The devs even promoted the stream through in-game banner but when he started ranting the banner instantly disappeared

All my prompts had "dark skin" in to be fair but I forgot about aggressively wrestling the ai with things like "Nigerian, African" to actually make it do dark skin

There was no way we could fit the whole map of gta3 in PS2 memory. Streaming involves loading models from the DVD as the player moves around. This was the hardest technical challenge during the development of gta3 and was coded by Adam Fowler.

For twitterphobes
I thought that was pretty neat. Also a Burnout 3 dev showed up ( )

After careful consideration over the last year, we at Blizzard have made the decision not to hold BlizzCon in 2024. This decision was not made lightly as BlizzCon remains a very special event for all of us, and we know many of you look forward to it. While we're approaching this year differently and as we have explored different event formats in the past, rest assured that we are just as excited as ever to bring BlizzCon back in future years.
Over the next few months, we'll be sharing more details about our launches coming later this year, including World of Warcraft: The War Within and Diablo IV's first expansion, Vessel of Hatred. To celebrate these upcoming releases and to bring our communities together in new and special ways, we will soon share some exciting plans for other industry trade shows and conventions like Gamescom. We can't wait to tell you more about those plans soon. We're also looking forward to the Overwatch Champions Series' stops at both Dreamhack Dallas and Dreamhack Stockholm. And we're thrilled to be planning multiple, global, in-person events to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Warcraft, which will be held in addition to the in-game celebrations across our Warcraft games throughout 2024. While these events are distinct from BlizzCon, we're harnessing all of our creativity and imagination to ensure that they carry the same spirit of celebration and togetherness.
Our hope is that these experiences β alongside several live-streamed industry events where we'll keep you up to date with what's happening in our game universes β will capture the essence of what makes the Blizzard community so special.
No matter how you choose to connect with us at these events this year β whether it be in person or virtually β we can't wait to see you there!
My guess that it's a combination of low interest, having nothing to show, and microsoft not liking live events, even though it's the 20th anniversary of WoW. I haven't been excited for a Blizzard release since Overwatch anyway.

More discussion in this thread
With very little research, a lot of people are blaming an Aaron Peters, someone who has supposedly been filing false DMCAs for sport for years. One of the affected copyright infringers did a deep dive.
The major consensus is that Garry fell for a ruse, but who knows
Who dunnit

I even forgot that dlc existed but I doubt it would be great, from software souls games dlcs were all meh (I played all of them)
But to me personally Elden ring was meh game that I didn't played much it didn't hook me like sakiro or dark souls 3. Lies of P was more interesting to me that Elden Ring

What years best looking game do the average AAA titles match now?
I think the mid tier graphics from high end games today match high graphics settings from say 2018 high end games. That's just my opinion though.
What do you guys think?
Is there a noticeable difference in graphics quality every half a decade even now?
Game graphics clearly Still have lots of space to improve even in current year. The primary advantage next gen unreal engine seems to provide is the upgrade in character animation and movement. All previous generations kind of sucked at giving a natural flow to human movements across the environment. That seems to have been solved for now and should become a common feature in the coming years.
PS6 will likely be when games will feel like a true next generation experience as the PS5 feels more like a FPS and basic QoL upgrader rather than anything unique that stands out completely.
What's your take on the future of video game graphics?
Simulated shared in game universe when?
The sims VR online when?
