The censorship: Opinions
I see some people complaining about the censorship in this title when comparing it to the original. The usual comments they get are derogatory in nature which I do not understand why. Do people nowadays want games to be censored? In my case I care less (but still care) about what was censored, and more about why it was censored. Having people dictate what I can and can't handle for whatever reason be it political or otherwise irks me. What about you guys, especially the ppl who want more censorship, I am very interested in your opinion.

Capcom wants to reach the West, adapting its product to the rotten morality of this region, because otherwise, they don't sell. They don't give a damn what seems good or bad to you, they seek to sell. Your western government forces the company to conform to your cheap selling morality, that is EXACTLY what China does with the products they allow. This is indirect censorship. If you think that there is creative freedom in this, it is because you are literally not qualified to talk about this topic.

Cultural pressure is not censorship. Censorship is when the government restricts what you can portray. This is basic knowledge anyone debating this should possess, since you're talking about "qualifications."

He said someone is "dictating" what he can handle in his media. Who is this someone? It's a strawman, a fictional boogieman. Who knows why Capcom made the CHOICE to take away dumb pantie shot stuff, I'd guess it's most likely they thought it was silly and the remakes are trying to be more serious. You have zero evidence to say otherwise, but hey... even if we say it's because they didn't want to upset feminist bloggers, so what? That's their choice to make. I'm sure they made many choices designed not to upset males as well.

I can't believe I'm writing paragraphs on this dumb topic though so I'm done.

You are definitely not qualified to speak on this topic. I ask you to retire and do not issue an opinion on this again, thinking and reasoning is not one of your strengths. Hopefully one day you'll rot in a country like North Korea so maybe, just maybe, you understand what censorship really means. They boycotted a video game because the author of her book series made "transphobic" comments, but nevertheless she is unable to understand how culture affects the sales of a company. Please shut your mouth NPC, and let people with their own criteria debate in peace

Seems like everyone hates skirts for some reason.
Mods will fix that easy. Her voice might be harder to fix though. Hope some AI wizard manages that too..

I'm playing the Game with Chinese voice (for the lols) and probably why I haven't noticed the voice difference. Ada's voice felt similar to RE2R in Chinese lol

That most of you tell others posting to shut up is ironic.

Censoring comments about censoring.

You're all corrupt (and don't even see it).

Is it realy censorship though?

In my country many games get adjusted when they are too violent. For example resi 3 back in the day had grey blood and the zombies would disapear when they die.

It wasn't censored though. The devs themself made this so they can sell the game in my country as well. Often times devs can decide wether or not they go full violence and gore and lose a lot of potential buyers or they tone down the violence to get a pass.

In case of Resi 4 i am not aware of any censorship. They decided to change the balistics line and they decided to alternate the look of ashley. It was a decision not censoring.

Censorship means Product a is not allowed to be sold due to violence for example.
When the devs know certain countries would censor their game and they decide to change it it is not censored. They changed the game in advance from their own will to avoid any censoring.

Censoring is obviously stupid.

Hmm when you put it that way... I stand corrected. Turns out the ENTIRE GAME has been censored. Not just the panties. That's even worse, thanks "woke" Capcom for censoring the entire game. Time to make them go broke, I'm getting a refund right now /s

When you're not using logic the right way you can put it however you want. Usually you start with the facts and get to the result, not start with what you wish the result would be and then invent some.. "facts".. You might have a cognitive dissonance disability mate.

Also, where the eff have you gooten your "panties" argument from, I can't see anything even remotely related to that in the OP.. Are you just projecting stuff onto others, or.. ?

Oh man, it's not often I get to do this. WHOOSH.

Of course it's censorship. In fact that's the most obvious censorship of all. I'm not any more happy with blood getting censored than anything else, and removing the ballistics line makes Luis less likable, which is not okay no matter what you call it.

If you make a product and you decide to use less blood nothing is censored.
Any changes capcom does is not censoring. They own the rights on the object and can do whatever they want.

If capcom releases the game and the gouverment forbids it then it is censored,.

You're literally describing government censorship, the one even censorship apologists accept. They didn't "decide" to use less blood. They had no other choice if they wanted to sell it to your country.

I think the fact that english is not my native tongue makes it hard for me to make my point.
All i am saying is not every decision about less blood or less naked skin is due to censoring.

If you make a game super violent you can only sell it to mature people and marketing becomes more limited.

Did they realy tone down the blood to avoid censorship or to get a better enviroment for selling the game.

There's no censorship.
Ada model as boob-physics.
Regeneradors also have jiggly ass-physics if that's your thing.

When they change something like this it's because they consider you can't see that content for some reason. So, that's censorship in my book. A good game? Of course, it deserves all the praise. But cancel culture is there an it's a real issue.

But that is just how you decide to see it yourself, where did you get the idea that these changes were done because "you can't see that content for some reason" rather than "it is made so the tone fits the new darker and more serious direction" ?

See, you decide that is censorship here, there are many other ways to look at it but you choose that way yourself with absolutely no other reason behind it than "cancel culture is everywhere and those that made this game are wokes".....

Go on, find one good, defendable and "tin-foil hat off" logical reason that these changes were specifically made to hide things instead of being part of a new direction.

ill never understand this "Censorship" thing

sure chainsaw dude isint lopping your head off but his executions are just as brutal as ever. i mean ♥♥♥♥ one of the villagers execution is stomping your head in till it explodes

if this is about not being able to look up ashleys skirt who gives a ♥♥♥♥ if its in the game or not other than being perverted it added nothing to the game and the game has lost nothing with it not being there.

A remake is a re-imagining of the same game, but primarily built from the ground up. It isn't really censorship if the re-imaginings does not include past elements or modernises.

We don't say "they censored the tank controls" just because those got modernised. But that's how stupid some people sound we they say this game got censored. Censorship is removing those said things from the original game or removing the original game in loo of this remake coming out. A.K.A. Rockstar delisting older versions for their new ones thus forcing the changes upon people.
