Did they just completely censored Pyramid Head first cutscene?

How is it possible that this has Overwhelmingly Positive reviews?

This was simply the most iconic moment of the game.

But you can't really deny the word of the man himself saying the scene was never meant to be read that way and with him working with them on the remake, a very reasonable explanation for the change becomes clear.
The scene was widely read as sexual assault by a lot of players at the time, by a statement from the Masahiro Ito himself, that was never the intention, so when a remake happened the scene was changed to try and decrease how much it looked like he was trying to rápe the leggies.

The man himself was forced to change his monster designs to reveal less skin. You can't take his word as truth since he was hired to work on the remake and has to follow the guidelines he was given. Compare to the Making of Silent Hill 2, why did he contradict the original vision? And if it was never meant to be sexual why hide it in the remake? Why not full view like in the original?

Hey, my guy, you're making stuff up. It was suggested that the nurses show less skin. Only SOME of the nurse models have thigh highs. MOST of them are as bare legged as the original design. Stop talking out of your ass because you didn't play the game.

cause he was known as the "rape monster guy" in japans ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up weirdo hyper religious super conservative culture. of course he's going to try to be a history revisionist

also i know the posters here are probably way too young for this but when the original game came out there was a surplus of pyramid head rape memes[i.postimg.cc]. typical internet ♥♥♥♥ for the time. so i think that added to his reputation of being perceived as some sort of sick freak and why he would want to sweep all the rape stuff under the rug and pretend it never existed

Good percentages are going to start mattering less & less as the consumer gets better information at this day & age.

Most people who knew this game was butchered never even bought it, this would be a better measure of it's quality right now: https://steamcharts.com/app/2124490

Does this look like a multi million dollars game's numbers? Do you think this will cover their expenses?
Hell, a cheap, obscure game from a brand new IP was playable for 3 days and it got over twice their numbers while the game was playable: https://steamdb.info/app/3016800/charts/

Companies were scaming players with these bad "remakes" in the past, pissing everyone off and getting horrible reviews in the process, but it didn't matter as much, they'd take the ESG cash AND the consumer's cash they just screwed over.

Now they aren't even getting that, as they can't make the sales TO get the bad reviews from.

Times are changing.

And that's exactly why we still have the original, only thing this remake did better was improving the combat, and not even by much. The voice acting and cut-scenes in particular are so poorly redone it almost feels like i'm playing some fan made ripoff product lmfao.

[Quelaan]

This remake is a flop and boring.

[Star Rain]

theyre all wearing clothes in the OG and just wiggling around, at least in the remake something naughty might actually be going on.

How long until conservative grifters stop moving goalposts and continue on to some other game? You’d think after losing the fight on this and on Monster Hunter that they’d start realizing that games from Japanese companies aren’t automatic slam dunks for conservative glazing

We all know that they're going to raid the Dragon Age: The Veilguard next. You can have top surgery scars on your Rook! They're gonna brick themselves in apoplectic rage.

Guess the whole "get woke get broke" meme isn't true anymore. Any more useless talking points from the ignorant?

Why would anyone want rape in a video game? Did you forget your pills, honey?

[MwieZorro]

I know I'm talking with underage, potential Twitch users here who are as dumb as a brick (and shouldn't even own the game at their age). But to me, the remake scene was even more disturbing for showing less, combined with the sound design, while the original's scene looked more like a weird lap dance. I was sure they'd completely remove it. Also, Abstract Daddy looks even more on the nose now what it's supposed to look like.

But if you don't want to buy a game because a rape scene is not explicit enough, I won't argue with that. Chug your Monster and keep on whining, "gamers".

Same. I thought the tiny closet with the toys that you can hide from Daddy in made the whole fight so much worse.
