Resident Evil Director Thinks Game Censorship Sucks
Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered faces censorship in Japan, sparking outrage from creators Suda51 and Shinji Mikami. The duo criticized Japan's CERO rating board in a GameSpark interview, highlighting the challenges of creating two versions of the game – one censored for the Japanese market.
Suda51, known for Killer7 and No More Heroes, explained the significant impact of this dual development on workload and release timeline. Mikami, renowned for Resident Evil and other mature titles, argued that CERO's approach is out of sync with modern gamers' preferences, questioning the rationale behind restricting content players actively seek.
CERO's rating system, encompassing CERO D (17+) and CERO Z (18+), is again under scrutiny. Mikami's original Resident Evil, and its 2015 remake, both featuring graphic horror, received Z ratings, illustrating the board's seemingly inconsistent application of its guidelines.
Suda51 questioned the effectiveness and target audience of these restrictions, emphasizing the disconnect between CERO's decisions and the desires of the gaming community. This isn't an isolated incident; EA Japan's Shaun Noguchi previously voiced similar concerns regarding inconsistencies in CERO's ratings, citing the contrasting treatment of Stellar Blade and Dead Space. The debate over game censorship in Japan continues.
