Playstation 4 Talkback II: The Answer to Everything is Knack

If anyone has even a remote interest in puzzle games, play the witness. It’s one of the best.

PS4 updated to 6.50 this morning. It adds Remote Play to iOS devices and streaming through NicoNico.

[Draylo]

Oh that's awesome, I always thought remote play was only for specific devices. Do they have that for Android as well? Gonna try it on my ipad pro but it seems it has no controller support. Although, I never looked before but it looks like they already had unofficial apps that did the same thing with controller support.

[Kaisha]

It's been on Android awhile but they only support a stupidly limited number of Sony-based phones/tablets.

[Draylo]

Yeah that is what I remember, lame. Do you know if this will have controller support or if the unofficial app is better?

PSN ID changes are live. Some games, your ID will NOT BE CHANGED. Some games, you could lose progress/items/currency/trophies (data).

I am so amped. My current PSN isn't terrible or embarrassing (PlautusHaven) but I've wanted to sync up my online IDs for 5+ years now to a variant of "Wulfgang".

Sony has commented on their recent censorship.

Sony's new in-house standards that limit sexually explicit content distinguish it from other game-hardware makers that allow a greater amount of content as long as the software carries a rating from a national industry body.

A Sony spokeswoman confirmed the company has established its own guidelines "so that creators can offer well- balanced content on the platform" and gaming "does not inhibit the sound growth and development" of young people. She declined to say when these guidelines were introduced or to discuss them in detail.

Sony officials said executives at the company have grown concerned that its global reputation could take a hit from sexually explicit content sold only in a few markets. One of their biggest concerns is software sold in the company’s home market of Japan, which traditionally has had more tolerance for near-nudity and images of young women who might appear underage.

Two factors last year combined to turn that unease into action, these Sony officials say. One was the rise of the #MeToo movement in the U.S., which pointed to the dangers of being associated with content that some might see as demeaning to women. The second was the emergence of channels on sites like YouTube and Amazon Inc.’s Twitch where gamers play in front of a camera and are watched by fans online. That means games meeting Japan’s laxer standards can get world-wide exposure.

In general, any company making a game for a platform like the PlayStation 4, Microsoft Corp.’s Xbox or Nintendo Co.’s Switch signs a contract with the platform maker governing royalties and other items. That gives the platform maker the ability to block games it doesn’t like.

“You don’t know what they will say until you complete the work and submit it for review,” said the chief executive of a small game developer in Japan. “And if they are not happy, even if they allowed the same degree of sexuality a few days before, we need to take it back and ask our staff to make adjustments. That’s very costly.”

The creator of Senran Kagura recently left Marvelous over the censorship.

I'd like to see their data that suggests anime cheesecake in games catered to a niche demographic, with an ERSB tag typically rated M indicating nudity, in the West, leads to more inappropriate sexual conduct in the workplace and streamers not knowing wtf they're in for.

I think the key part of the statement is the "appear to be underage" one. Most of the time I've seen Sony step in and censor something it's been because of that.
