The butt is back! Latest “Devil May Cry V” patch reverses PS4 censorship

R

Last month, an update patch exclusive to the PS4 version of Devil May Cry V “Thanos-snapped” away Trish’s nude posterior in one of the game’s cutscenes. Now, a heroic avenger at Capcom has heard gamers’ cries for justice, and reversed the snap with yet another gameplay patch for the North American version of the game.

Hail, conquering hero! We shall fap in thy name!

Seriously though, if you’ve been following our coverage of Devil May Cry V and several other PS4 titles here on The Splintering, you already know that several Japanese-developed games have been hit hard by Sony’s new censorship hammer. While most of the other games censored by Sony were low-profile, perhaps the blowback from censoring a triple-A title like DMCV was too much for Sony not to take notice. Maybe they could simply stop censoring mature-rated Japanese titles altogether?

It should be noted that this latest patch applies only to the North American version of the game, while the Asian releases were never censored in the first place. Sorry, Europe. You’ll have to get your brief, 2-second glimpses of a bare female behind somewhere else… It’s still verboten in Devil May Cry V for now.

    […] So there you have it, the censors at Sony strike again. This time they were insistent on removing 0.5 seconds (HALF a second) from Crystar, while the changes made to Conception PLUS. Fortunately, there is an uncensored version of Crystar coming to Steam, though no such option exists for Conception PLUS. At least these details were disclosed ahead of time instead of trying to pull a fast one of censoring th game via a day one patch, a la Devil May Cry V. […]

    […] Capcom recently responded to a customer inquiry regarding the censorship of Devil May Cry V, indicating that a brief glimpse of Trish’s posterior censored in the PS4 version of the game due to restrictions imposed by European law. A “day one” patch added a garish purple lens flare to about two seconds of a non-interactive cutscene, though the censorship was removed from the North American version of the game by a subsequent patch.
