Dear devs of Senran Kagura 7EVEN: release it on PC only (Edit: on PC, Switch and Xbox)

[Yuri Bezmenov]

I'm aware that this is not the right place exactly, but as a customer who bought all the SK franchise in Steam, and at least half of the DLCs, I think my opinion has some value to a certain extent. there are customers out there (not all customers, maybe many, maybe some, maybe a few) who don't want 7even changed because of puritans's policy that it's going to ruin the franchise for good.

Yes, I'm talking about Soyny.

This is an advice, because there'll be severe consequences for the franchise if you don't do nothing about it.

Get the game out of Sony, and you'll be fine. There's been a rise on pc gaming in Japan, if you make it exclusive in pc, no one will go to force their puritanical rules on your product. Everyone from everywhere will be able to buy it.

If the Pc version comes along as intended initially, you'll do it just fine. But if you capitulate to the censors, be my guest, I won't shed tears for you when the game's sales go down, and someone else will replace you in the future.

Edit: Since people are saying about putting the game to Switch (a friendly platform okay with fanservice) and even Xbox, I'm going to put an adition to the title.

So why is this new game going to be a sony exclusive? Is this like Bloodborne where the company makes a exclusivity deal to help finance the developer? Otherwise I don't understand why it would only be for the PS4.

[Monterossa]

They can release it for PC, Switch, and Xbox.

More devs need to teach those Soyny cuck bastards some lesson.

[Jaden675]

Agreed, Switch and PC, both are popular as PS4, and require no censorship, win win

If this game is a Sony exclusive, they should cancel their contract afterwards while releasing an uncensorship version for the PC if possible

I literally pray that Senran Kagura will come out alright. I really do hope Takaki will move the series out of Playstation soon. At the very least have an uncensored multiplatform and an edited version for sony.

Moving the game off the Playstation means they'll have less money to work with, the budget of the games will be smaller, and you'll more than likely end up with more spin off games like Bon Appétit!, Reflections, and New Wave rather than combat focused games.

What people don't understand is that there is no situation where SK moves away from Sony and you keep getting the type of SK games you want. If the games move away from Sony then the amount of content, what they offer, their scope, etc, will suffer as a result.

I don't necessarily think thats the case, Switch has plenty of potential to offer a good SK game, even Takaki said so. The budget though has more to with Marvelous, so it's only limited if they want it to be.

Also, most fans DON'T want a censored game. I'd rather have a few spin offs until SK can be made the way it was intended. Let's not forget that censored games will get less sales, especially a niche title. If they stay with Sony, the game will suffer and will have less money to work with anyways. This might also make Marvelous to mistakenly believe that the franchise is no longer wanted, when many of us just want the ecchi/anime beat em up we came to love!

I gotta agree with this, if you have to change the game. Change the platform. Burst Renewal I can understand as it was already down the road of development awhile but this is not the case anymore.

Sony can go jump, it's not fair on the developers, the fans, anyone.

Once again, Sony is the dominant first party this generation with 91 million units sold. That's why developers will bend of backwards to please them. If a developer wants their game to sell as much as possible they're going to want to release it on the PS4. What's fair, etc, doesn't matter in that equation, it's literally business, mathematics, economics, etc.

Also 7EVEN has been in development for at least 18 months. It was announced a year and a half ago. It didn't just start production after the release of Burst Re:Newal. It's been in development for awhile.

Your misinterpreting playerbase to guaranteed sales, this is a niche series. It's not like any title has had a huge attache rate on PS4 you realize. If the fanbase loses it's respect for the series it won't matter where it goes or how big the platform is. Entire projects have been cancelled/restarted with more time my dude, not even going anywhere else.

The larger the install base the larger the potential sales are to the publisher, investors, etc. The people who put up the money to fund the game's development don't look at it the same way you or fans do and they never will.

It's not like any title has had a huge attache rate on PS4 you realize.

The series is more associated with Sony platforms than any other. Chances are that if someone is a fan of the SK series their platform of choice is either PS4 or PC.

Also if SK Reflections failed to capture or interest an audience on the Switch, whether it be new or old fans, they're not going to be looking towards the Switch as the platform to go to over Sony/PS4.

If the fanbase loses it's respect for the series it won't matter where it goes or how big the platform is.

The existing fanbases of Resident Evil and Fallout lost respect for those franchises with games like RE4 and Fallout 3 and those games did insanely well despite people talking about them exactly the way you are about this game.

You're making a lot of assumptions without paying attention to the evidence, history, facts, etc, that already exist. Note that up until an hour ago you didn't know/realize that 7EVEN had been in production for a year and a half, you just assumed it started production after Burst Re:Newal. You assumed something without actually knowing what the case actually was even though the information was out there, and you (along with others in this thread) keep doing that.

Entire projects have been cancelled/restarted with more time my dude, not even going anywhere else.

Triple A projects, yeah, not projects like 7EVEN.

Yeah that makes sense, "to a publisher" but plenty of series have lost their way and sales, no matter what platform they released on and something like Kagura will be especially at risk of that. It's in the title. You keep speaking for me and others, please stop, I never assumed that at all, Don't tell us what we do and don't assume please.

It started on Nintendo, this series owes Sony nothing. Neither do you I might add, hope your getting paid my dude You think only AAA titles crash and burn? That's just being obtuse, the indie scene is even more at risk of platforms and entire projects going the way side/abandoned. Do you go around looking for arguments?

Your argument of RE is funny too, with the recent numbers of RE2 and RE4 being a respected entry but go off I guess.

[Smokey]

"I'm not speaking for you...."

"Proceeds to tell me exactly what knowledge I do and don't have, again"

I know, how long it's been in development. I didn't just know about 7EVEN last week, I got excited from the teaser in PBS/earlier announcements just like I'm sure other fans. Development is not a linear progression, just look at Cyberpunk, for ages the trailer was pretty much all there was of the game. This isn't the PS3 days, they aren't dealing with some unique architecture and this situation has been a rolling event for awhile now.

Your comments directly contradict what Kenichiro Takaki has said, that 7EVEN will need to be reconsidered. Saying the majority of content is in Reflexions is bizarre because one how do you actually even know the specifics of the content at this point, please let us know your sources and two, have you actually played it? It's barely a full game, which is reflected in the pricepoint. You clearly are just here with an axe to grind against the mere suggestion that there's a problem here and a move away from Sony is what's needed to send a message.

There is form in this suggestion with Omega Labyrinth being outright cancelled and will now be on it's way to the Nintendo Switch.

Clearly Japanese developed games are being targeted lately, most people would not deny this on either side of arguments. Beginning of this thread your talking about GOW and Spiderman, they're irrelevant as they haven't suddenly been susceptible to an inexplicable change in content policy from Sony. Neither is Witcher 3, neither is GTA5, so what.

You've been argumentative "this entire thread, wow, why?" but honestly really not seeing any great points, at all. Your just trying to knock down arguments because... boredom I guess? The industry is in a place now where a game can be on so many platforms, Sony being the market leader doesn't mean so much when you release on every single other one available IE PC, Switch and XBOX.
PC alone, it's like your pretending the amount of active users on steam isn't anything to take seriously, a publisher wouldn't know or care? ok then...Must be why they've never released the Yakuza games amirite?

[Smokey]

"yawn" why are you in this thread, like, at all... Seriously? I came and shared my opinion, your the one which has been jumping on every person in this thread. If you hadn't quoted me I would've had no need to say anything else at all. That would've been great.

You clearly think it's too late for a change in platform, great, good for you. I don't, simple. Yes that is WITH the knowledge of how long it's been in development asshat. If you actually read the interview Kenichiro Takaki doesn't quite either contemplating the suggestion of a move to PC.

It's really changed my mind being called a liar with nothing else behind it or willingly ignored what was actually said, well done.
Move on. God.

I originally posted asking if anyone knew what was being removed, while also pointing out that people are making a big deal out of something they have no details about. Then people (like you) started saying things that weren't true, spreading misinformation, etc, which resulted in a back and fourth.

Why are you in this thread, just to go along with the flow of making stuff up and to spread misinformation?

You like everyone else can't say what is actually being changed about the game. It just highlights a problematic group mentality or shows that you'll get upset over something that you potentially have no reason to get upset over.

You clearly think it's too late for a change in platform, I don't, simple.

If you actually read the interview Kenichiro Takaki doesn't quite either contemplating the suggestion of a move to PC.

The problem at this point is what is the cost of editing the game versus the cost of putting it on other platforms.

Future SK games might move away from Sony, but I seriously doubt that 7EVEN doesn't come out on the PS4 at this point.

Yes that is WITH the knowledge of how long it's been in development asshat.

Knowledge that you didn't have until a few hours ago, or is this like your BS knowledge of Omega Labyrinth that was completely wrong?

It's really changed my mind being called a liar with nothing else behind it or willingly ignored what was actually said, well done.

You're the one ignoring everything that's been said. You've had no defense against multiple points, you've been shown to wrong multiple times, but can't ever admit to being wrong. Why is that?

Move on. God.

Hey genius you could stop posting and thus stop me from arguing with you, so why don't you move on hypocrite? What is it about your ego that's not letting you do that or admit to being wrong?

There it is ladies and gentlemen, how DARE we care that the director has publicly shown concern for the direction of the franchise. How DISHONEST.

“So we’re redoing, or rather reconsidering, everything about the game.” Nothing to worry about, we're all LIARS.Takaki didn't actually say that. It's fine.

Omega Labyrinth Producer, LYING as well https://www.dualshockers.com/omega-labyrinth-life-ps4-ps-vita-switch/

[Smokey]

"while omega Labyrinth Life has been for switch from the outset" Context, like, it's a thing? Just ignoring it doesn't make it go away. Historical playstation series, exclusively onto another platform suddenly, nope? Nothing?
Z was cancelled THEN Life was announced? Completely unlinked, inexplicable.

[Smokey]

never.claimed.that

[Smokey]

The Western release was what was that? Outright cancelled, they didn't even do a subtitled playasia release omfg lmao.

[Smokey]

I especially like it when you keep telling me what I know and what my intent is, please. Continue
