Ready or not She is a tactical shooter that has been available on Windows PC for several years, and the Void Interactive programmer is preparing to release on July 15 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. Accordingly, the creators of the game Announced on Steam The fact that the update would change some animations in the game to aid give it a certificate on consoles – and this movement pissed off the fans.
As Void Interactive says, the corrections are at least partly motivated to modernize the game power technology. Initially, Ready or not He used Unreal Engine 4, which required non -standard approaches to his animation. They say that Unreal 5, in a blog post, has better built -in functions that can achieve similar results, while simplifying the burden of the game. In other words, performance should be better thanks to adaptations, which is crucial for planned functions of the game.
“We recorded 5 different actors of the special forces in our last large Session of Mocap, the goal was to introduce a more organic and natural appearance, while trying to escape from the standard, how everyone looks and move in video games,” explained the main technical artist on Ready or notWhich blog post only as Alex. “We have completed the modification of the chart and we are now devoted to Polish and further improvements using the latest available available technology.”
Some of these subtle adaptations would probably be unnoticed if they did not indicate programmers. In other cases, changes probably affect the tone of the game. There are performances of fragmentation and although it will still be true on consoles, there is a limit of how far the game will present. Instead of continuing to show the ongoing slaughter, when the body is dead, he will stop showing animations of further deterioration. The amount of gore has not been subdued alone, because the bodies will continue to reflect all violence that made them dead. The game simply does not reflect anything but the initial relative. Similarly, the art presenting torture has been slightly subdued, and several cases of nudity will also be covered.
“Ultimately, we consider it a good compromise, considering that our game design already discourages the use of deadly force,” Alex wrote. The blog post also specifies that all changes that the game will be subjected to consoles were adopted only if it was considered “absolutely necessary” to adopt a certificate. And the certificate – in which the game is transmitted to the console manufacturer to determine whether the unit will allow the game to exist on its platform – it is a strict process compared to what the game can escape on more affable platforms, such as Steam and other computer stores. Although this may be a challenging process, the motivation for producers is to avoid experiences of the type that could contribute to the reputation of their product. Think, for example, low -quality titles that led to this infamous video game in 1983.
Under no circumstances is it an ideal process; Platforms such as Nintendo Eshop are more and more full of games. But on PC, The number of editions significantly The number of main console producers publishes on its platforms. Probably the quality levels can differ significantly on the PC compared to the console.
None of these distinctions and subtleties seem to matter Ready or not Players on Windows PC who see the changes that the shooter takes up as a betrayal of the original artistic intention. “The game was not perfect at first, but now they decide on its censorship,” says the best proven Steam review.
“They earned money from you – players on the PC on Steam – and now, with pure greed, calm the regulatory authorities on the console market, censoring the game to meet their requirements,” he continues.
This review exists among a lot of much more furious posts that include the performances of the middle finger ascia and a lot of curses.
Representatives Ready or not He did not answer immediately at the request for comment, but it has been a few days since the programmers announced the changes of animation. And despite the fact that he plays so much that the game states that it has “mixed” recent reviews about Steam, because writing still seems to sell well. Is on the 15th place on the global list of the best sellers, above other latest hits such as Repo AND Revenge. Given, Ready or not It is also part of Steam’s summer sales and can now be bought for a 50 percent discount. However, it is still $ 24.99, which is not exactly the bargain price of the basket compared to many titles that can be bought for less than USD 10.
It seems that attention was very effective for marketing Ready or not. The initial advertisement was issued on June 27, and two days later, The game doubled its busy number of players. Continuation of headers regarding the controversy of censorship may mean that a tactical shooter can still reach higher peaks despite the recent approach to gore.
