Microsoft Forced Gal*Gun Devs To Censor The Game 

People buy the games for fanservice. Why would you censore that?

Gee no wonder the xbox fucking bombed in japan.

What's the point of censoring the game anyway? It's not like you will let children play anyway and if it does then the blame should fall on their guardians not the game developer. And this is the type of game where you will not be playing in front of normal public and mostly play in privacy. Whatever you do in privacy is your freedom as long as yo are not causing trouble or harm to other people. And again, isn't this kind of a double standard on Microsoft behalf? I mean they have games like GTA, Mass Effect, Witcher, Dragon Age that have sex in them and they get riled up over a piece of underwear?

This game is M-rated on the ESRB. You know like GTA V and Gears of War.

Kojima's response sums it up perfectly "Oh give me a break!"

once upon a time, a legend named kojima said that you have to cross the boundary to make great games

Yes, lets censor the entire point of the game. Brilliant.

So apparently nudity and drugs in a western game is at the same level as panty shots in a Japanese game. Yeah, that makes sense... Double standards FTW!

Executions in Gears of War its Ok. Panty Shots hell no. Microsoft Logic!!!!

All Japanese devs should know not to release on Xbox. If you play anime games on an Xbox then you're fighting an uphill battle.

If i remember correctly they also rejected Heavy Rain because it involved a kid dying but Sony was ok with it.

I'm glad MS is constantly failing in japan.

Why the fuck did they think people bought the game, the gameplay?! Stop being offended for other people.

anime games are best on PlayStation anyway

no surprise here M$ fucking up games

Fucking Microsoft. Glad I gave up on them after the 360.

And thus why I do not like the Xbot anymore. It's not a console for Eastern games never has been. That's another reason why it flopped in Japan.

I think the question people should ask these devs when questioned about this kind of stuff is. Why is it so important that you must be able to control what the player can and cant do with the product he purchased? why do you feel the obligation to restrain people over something like panties, they arnt even real girls. would you like your car dealer ship telling you that you cant use air conditioning on a vehicle you purchased because they felt "morally" obligated to force you? No? then why force the same bs on everyone else.

Heh, I got the PS3 version just for Move support. Nice to see I dodged a bullet. B]

Why is GTAV not censored? Fucking Trevor has a lot of things that needs to be censored. Weird.

Now it's Sony making devs remove all the pantsu from everything.

As long as gaming is seen as a children past-time by the mass consumers, games will, sadly, get censored; And what is even more concerning is that the more censorship is accepted and gets accepted, the more it gains ground so that even games like Street Fighter V gets censored and it will go even worse and will impact games that no real gamer would have ever imagined to get censored. Quite hypocritical when you know that 90% on the internet are linked to porn (and not the soft sites) and anyone can access to them (ah yeah, you have to click you are over 18 to enter them, true, very efficient). Parents buy games to their kids that are rated 18 or R because they don't bother looking, or asking, if the game really is meant to be played by their children (what we would call "parenting"); Do they act the same if their children ask them to buy a movie that is, in fact, a porn movie ? People don't take personal responsability to get their life on the good track and prefer complain and "frustrate" the others, that are aware of what they are doing, to get their poor and harsh capitalist lives lightened so that they don't have to care and think too much; but it's cool when they go online and "virtually" kill hundreds of other guys, here there is no issue with that because it's their little pleasure before going to a porn site to get exited enough before going to bed. As i said, quite hypocritical.

Nintendo: "Sony, Microsoft, why do you censor your games? I thought that was my thing." Sony: "because reasons." Microsoft: "yeah, reasons."

The problem is not the panties as it... it's because the characters are underaged, in Japan is legal showing this kind of content, in other countries isn't.

"Gal gun publisher fighting with Microsoft over panties" quality headlines everyone

I think the "the game is shit" comments that imply that that makes it okay to censor it are hilarious. Yes, the game is shit... but the next game to get ruined might not be.

I remember hearing about this game getting censored long ago, though I wasn't sure how it got censored. Thanks for the helpful information.

Sexualising a 9 year old little girl is not the same as sexualising a grown ass woman. Those of you who can't figure that out need counseling.

this is why xbox brand are dead in japan and asia.

So, for console gaming go with Sony. Got it.

0:40 whathing that small clip made me crave for time crisis soo much for some reason.

Gal*Gun (Xbox 360): Censored Gal*Gun Returns (Xbox One): Cancelled

( I edited this comment ,so the reply Dont make sense Kinda)

I'm disgusted the violence and murder is more accepted than sex. More accepted than even slight showing skin and suggestive themes even.

WAIT WHAT THE EVEN SHUT DOWN THE COMPARISON SITE why!? can I still find the guy who made the site does he post anywhere else? like another blog or somthing?

No wonder why PS > XBox cause FUCK CENSORSHIP!!!

So you could uninstall the patch and then play off-line with the original version? Well, probably the best result they could have gotten if they were forced to either censor or not release at all.

Never change, censored gaming. Stay classy. There's a reason i like this channel a lot.

OMG LOL! 1:27 that article headline! That made my day, so funny.

Thank goodness I got the ps4 version.

now I know why they get so much hate M$ you done goofed that's why no matter how much you try and make your console better it will always do bad in Japan.

So this was censored even in the JAPANESE version? It said the censorship was only applied in an update (not to the game's disk). All updates on Xbox 360 ask you to allow the update to proceed. When it asks, just click "no". What about the PS4 version though? Has it also been censored?

Yes. I learned that I wasn't crazy when I was confused that people kept saying GalGun was a newly released game.

I thought the CERO rating system in Japan was bad enough, now add Microsoft's meddling and it gets even more stupid.

Looks like in 2020 xbox back at it again

In the description you mention getting the game digitally on PS3 with a point card. That is, unfortunately, no longer possible. Gal Gun and all its DLC was delisted from PSN when the developer went out of business. Double Peace was also affected but recently brought back in an "International" version along with its DLC, which only works with the new version and not the non-international DP. Sadly, the PS3 version is likely gone forever as it has been over a year with no news about it being reinstated. A shame because I didn't get the chance to purchase all the DLC beforehand.

I just realized that Nintendo didn't censor Conker but Microsoft did... WHAT THE FUCK

Microsoft becoming a new Nintendo. i see

Good luck Scorpio! Lol whack ass Microsoft.

The censorship was so bad that Microsoft discontinued their deal with Compile Heart and Idea Factory. Which also led to me no longer purchasing X Box products.

Wasn't there a super-deluxe version of that game that had panties and everything though that cost about $115?

"If you hate panties so much we'll just patch it out." Proceeds to remove panties, exposes everything! LOL

it's not that surprising if your familiar with anime. America always censors it. Which is odd when you consider our porn industry is free but japan's is censored extremely manditory. Logic is overrated.

>moral Yea, all those pixels sure were embarrassed.

I work as a counselor and I will attest to the fact that most kids have seen WAY more on the internet by the age of 8 to 12 than is in Gal Gun.

that's why Double Peace is not on xbone... I think xD

I'm pretty sure you got the wrong thumbnail

So the XBox version is censored. What about the other systems? Is it censored on all systems?

Who came here after the Xbox One version of Gal Gun Returns was cancelled on Christmas last year?

Playstation all the way!

Microsoft they don't want games that look like kid games with kid themes......so people add in mature content...then microsoft says no to that as well.....dose everything have to be halo. or gears of war with microsoft

I almost forgot how uncomfortable this game made me and then I remembered it existed why why why

They are fighting with Microsoft over panties. That's one hilarious title for an article. xD

this show ms are bised thye ask to ccensor a Japaneseonl game but you do not cOD censored in the us

"No, Anime Uncensored version, NO BUY!" don't buy Anime games with censorship! fight censorship Anime fans!

Pulling Anyas arm out of socked, curb stomping her, blowing her head off with a shotgun, all possible in Gears of War yet they censor this? The only thing that keeps me sane is thinking im living in a simulation thats designed to piss me off.

Censoring is one thing that I really don't mind much. Disguising censorship as "bug fixing" is another thing that really pisses me off.

Don't support the system who's manufacturers try to control your product. Censorship is NOT what we're paying for.

then don't release japanese games to xbox one or any microsoft's pc then. Case closed!

I clicked this video because the thumbnail made me think the censorship caused more looking upskirt and I was confused. At least I can be glad to say I was wrong.

Sony's the kind of dad that catches you smoking and punishes you by making you smoke an entire carton.

i agree with cencoring this. They are underage girls after all.

sony > microsoft

In our country, you will prob. get arrested if you sell these kind of games *if you get caught.

Holy shit this is the game they parodied at NGNL, i didn't know it was real.

So it's one more reason why weebshit is typically on Sony consoles.

>people complaining about this these girls are UNDERAGE

Could you please make a video on Fire Emblem Echoes censorship? I'm wondering if i should buy it or not.

I bet people working at Microsoft never even heard about PEGI's age limited games in their life at all.

So, people are upset they don't get to see childrens underwear? Y'all need therapy.

423 different designs...now that's dedication!

Microsoft: Wow can I have your perverted game? Devs: Oh shit sure br- Microsoft: Can you make it not perverted?

423 UNIQUE PANTIE DESIGNS?! the future of gaming is now.

But there's any possibility fo the game to be released in future? Of course without any "correction", otherwise it can stay on the shelf

they should have forced the devs to make quantum break to be a game about proton based puzzles ti maintain accuracy to what a quantum break is in reality.

You know what i hate the most people telling me what to do in my free time unless its work

What about the GAl gun Flat as aboard DLC?

is there a mod patch that undoes the censorship

But dead or alive beach volleyball, which is Microsoft exclusive if memory serves,is arguably way more suggestive.

does this apply to steam versions?

how hard is it to put a toggle in the options to remove censorship leaving it as consumer choice? that's the route the companies should go rather than thinking they know better.

Sony was OK with this but demanded that a kusoge like BMX XXX be censored, a game that remained uncensored on GameCube, a NINTENDO console smh

Somebody splitting a mans head in two with a chainsaw? - No problem! Falling into a meatgrinder and gore splatter flying everywhere? - That shit's breakfast. Underwear? - Nooooo, that's too much!

Nudity and Panties: Get rid of it! Happy Tree Friends: Nah, that’s fine, leave it in.

And here I was, thinking that Microsoft loved anime stuff. After all, every version of Windows since Windows 7, Silverlight (and now Azure), the Microsoft Cloud and even Internet Explorer all got official anime mascots.

Lol, this video just got recommended and I can't help but chuckle reading the 3 year old comments bashing MS, now look how the tables have turned. Microsoft has a golden chance to cater to these niche japanese devs, the fact that the new Gal Gun ditched Sony and is releasing on Xbox is a good indicator.

And people say Nintendo censors a lot. Do you know what happened to Bayonetta 2 when it was being made? The Devs said if this much nudity is okay, Nintendo said they should include more nudity!

There was a spot where there was no underwear, why block that part? Stupid devs and censorship.

so does the ps4 version still be the same? or is it also censored

Relevant now that the remastered version (Gal*Gun Returns) has been announced. I hope that the Xbox One version doesn't run into issues.
