Nipplegate, unoptimised fish and the Kayran's evil twin

[Zanderat]

The unoptimised fish are my favorite ^^

Do they have nipples?

"her breasts first became pixellated, but ithen the devs were told that the japanese found this sort of censoring arousing"

haha of course, i love japan lol

And that fish problem, well, now i gotta give it to the CODogs guys, after mocking them so many times i guess their fish really needed next gen hardware

Well that was a hilarious read, thanks Kodaemon.

Was that a regular two-piece bikini or just a bikini top? Because if it's the former, it'd actually make sense, finally it wouldn't be Geralt only having his underwear on during sex. Not the best way to achieve equal and realistic display of men and women in erotic scenes I would imagine, but well, you gotta start somewhere.

...They started with extending the design of some of the cutscenes, to include, say, beer mugs that would hide the breasts...

Haha, reminds me of some pics with underage drinkers photoshopping cats on any alcohol containers.

LOL! That reminds me:

Edit: Changed the video to a picture to be a bit more clear and less offensive.

 

[Thendarion]

Yeah! We want to see Geralt's ass too! Let's start a petition!

No, not kiddin'.

But if I think about it, maybe the reason behind Geralt's reluctance of getting naked is the fact that male anatomy is far more complex than the female on the scale of the models the game was using and the developers simply did not have the resources to do it.

Wait. What? You can't show nipple in Japan? So they got like most bizzare porno movies and comiks books in this part of milky way, yet thay can't show nipple in video game? This world is so weird :/

It is weird. There´s uncensored nudity and sometimes even sex scenes that push censorship as much as possible in mangas aimed at teenagers, regardless of whether the author is male or female. If we go to seinen (aimed at adults but not hentai,etc), all bets are off.

Not to mention the things they are allowed to show. I find most of it fan disservice.

1) I'm embarrassed to admit that I don't even remember any fish in TW1 Were they removed or did CDPR succeed in optimizing them for the final game?

2) What the hell? Of all the weird things I've seen or heard of from Japan, I really didn't think that their censorship laws would be more strict than the US's ratings systems (which are technically voluntary, but it's hard to sell stuff without getting a rating). That makes no sense to me

3) Oh dear! I wonder how two kayrans happened, but I'm glad they figured it out

I think this solution should please everyone without exception.

The current issue of CD-Action has an article with stories of weird bugs and other assorted madness encountered Polish developers and distributors. Three of those cases are related to the Witcher games:

- During presentations of The Witcher 1, the game suddenly started crashing. It turned out that the reason was... fish, which had too many polygons. This meant if the camera was trained at some fish, the game would crash. As the problem could not be solved on the spot, people playing the demo had to do everything to keep fish off the screen.

- While the japanese PC version of The Witcher 2 had no trouble getting published (the PC is practically nonexistent as a gaming platform there), the X360 version required overtime from the devs again. The whole affair, dubbed - quite aptly -"Nipplegate" by CDP, started when CERO (roughly the equivalent of PEGI) sent the Poles a long list of "things allowed and not allowed". The team faced considerable the task of removing female nipples from the game. They started with extending the design of some of the cutscenes, to include, say, beer mugs that would hide the breasts. Some ladies suddenly became shy in Geralt's presence and covered themselves up, and Triss even came to sport a stylish bikini in the elven bathhouse scene. Even more interesting was the story of Yennefer - her breasts first became pixellated, but ithen the devs were told that the japanese found this sort of censoring arousing... they just removed the sorceress' nipples altogether.

- Agnieszka Szóstak: "We had a series of important presentations promoting The Witcher 2", during which we showed the fight with the kayran. Of course, we had tested the sequence a dozen times before, but suddenly something started going awry. Once in a while the fight would just bug out, and no one knew why. Typical random bug without a clear cause. We started digging through the code, checking the build and eventually it turned out... there were two kayrans. The game would pick one at random before the fight, and one of them was incorrectly tagged. Easy to fix, but very difficult to identify, which cost us all a few grey hairs."

nipplegate in japan? JAPAN!?? the homeland of tentacle mosters and panty dispensers?? REALLY? />

They should just put Geralt's angry face on both of em.

Nipples have never been uglier. And more dangerous.

Aw still no one could find Triss in a bikini? I'd love to see that. Sometimes non revealing is even more interesting than revealing. I also didn't remember yen's nipples being big. In the flashback. I like the way she's portrayed though. Ah the female body, such a beautiful sight to behold.

I also don't remember any fish. Wait actually I do know you can find some fish food items to eat. Just no 3D fish.

If anyone can find Triss in bikini, well I'll + you up.

They were having some post-coital pizza and some pepperoni fell on Yen
