• Wasn't it the game made by devs that pulled their Steam page because of bullshit reasons, and then they started to insult PC players? 😂 These devs are morons.

    Because they didn't want people to mod it iirc

    More like they can't sell the dlc sexy costumes since on PC they can easily be modded in for free.

    They saw money on the table and claimed moral high ground to hide the fact they wanted the skin money.

    The funny thing is they would've gotten less backlash if they just admitted to being greedy and wanted to make money from dlcs , the moral high ground tactics looks worse than just being greedy 

    Yeah, since this makes them look even worse than the wokes. The wokes want moral high ground while wanting to lose money, these devs do the same, but for making money. So stupid this whole thing. 😂

    Unironically, this.

    If you are more open about your motivations and goals, people would actually be more supportive of you.

    "Oh, so you wanted to sell skins of this game instead of letting mod it? Those skins better be worth it then!"

    The hilarious and ironic part is that game looks so bad it's not even worth modding.

    That on top of the fact modders would have made better skins for free themself.

    As a playstation user I did not even know this existed.

    Yeah, you're not the first one mentioning it. Seems like its mainly PC players who heard about them, because their withdrawal from Steam. 😂 While nobody owning a PS5 ever heard about that game. Quite hilarious how fail that studio is.

  • Good, considering what these dumbass devs said about mods on PC, they can go fuck themselves...

    Why cause you cant play it with on hand with your nude mods

    No, because they're using this as an excuse to not launch on PC, you muppet...

    Like you wouldent be the one to put nude mods on thats what pc players are mad about is not able to do nude mods

    You're either super disingenuous or you can't read. He's making valid points about The fear of mods being a silly reason to not release on PC... Get some help Buddy.

    Kinda weird to be overly concerned about what players see on their own PC and that no other players can see when they interact with them (if thats possible in the game).

    Sept its not cause those players always show it on youtube or some shit but im not defending the game i just know what ppl would do gamers now feel like the are intilted to shit thats why i own every system so i wouldnt care less what it came on i remember when we played games cause they where fun and good story not cause they have attractive females or good graphics i grew up playn nintindo and that had shitty graphics but the games where fun

    So what if I would? Fuck's it to you?

    Fkn virgin

    Formal r1 warning

    No/low prior participation - expedited to permaban

    It's been a while, but that's still factually incorrect. 

    Bro the devs themselves have made full on gooner skins

    😂 oops someone's nerves have been touched.

    Yes. Female fictional characters need to appeal to my male gaze unironically.

  • Is this the game where the Devs had a melty over no steam release because of potential mods? If so then fuck'em.

    Yup. Keep in mind, these are the devs that also made Quantum Error, which didn't have any fan service focus and was also similarly a quite poor game, with similar MetaCritic ratings, even

    which didn't have any fan service focus

    Code Violet has a 30-second cutscene where the main character's breasts are directly in your face.

    The no-fan-service game they were talking about is Quantum Error, which was still shitty on its own.

    Ah now this game sounds familiar. I think they didn’t want a PC release because they want to be the ones to sell sexy outfits as DLC instead of letting PC modders make sexy outfits for free

    Seconded.

    If you are worried about mods you do not get my simoleons.

    It was just an excuse, don't be naive.

  • So either they ended up doing zero virtue signaling and it’s actually great, or it’s so bad even IGN can’t defend this shit

    hard to tell, the snippet of the second one is whining about sexy outfits and camera angles. so i'm leaning the first one.

    Well congrats to them then, they fucked themselves, cause iirc, this was the game where the devs threw a stink about not getting a Steam port to avoid modding. So due to their shitty PR, the people who WOULD play the game aren’t, and the activists won’t play it either cause it’s too chud-friendly

    Imagine thinking gamers are divided between chuds and activists lol

    Never even classified it like that, but sure. Even if I did, what would be your point, it’s been a decent distinguishing factor that the “chuds” are one demographic modern devs avoid and the “activists” are the best way to describe their target audience, aka the “modern audience”.

    Eh, I will probably get it, not on release since they it's digital only, but for sure when it gets on sale.

    I'm more upset about the game not having a physical copy, at least Wukong got one later, this one doesn't mention one at all.

    Eh, I will probably get it,

    Part of the problem.

    These are the woke idiots who decided modding is bad because "Lewd" :

    https://x.com/TeamKillMedia/status/1880780993813987541

    Giving them any attention and money only reinforces their stupid world view. Close that wallet, don't bother, it's a shitty game anyway.

    Its the first one but the quality also isnt that high, its not 40 bad but its not very good either. I'm not getting it because they canceled their steam release over mods.

    lol please go buy it then and report back

    I’m actually thinking this was an intentional knee-capping. No PC release, sexy skins, dinosaurs, intentionally antagonizing the players who’d want the game. Me thinks this is an intentional sabotaging in an attempt to reverse the current course of DEI rejection. Kinda like how every time Nuclear energy starts to gain popularity a Chernobyl or 3 Mile Island film drops.

    People will still want sexy female characters tho, that's why gachas with waifu still print money.

    No amount of "sabotaging" will change that, if Code Violet sucks it's simply a bad game with fanservice, like we had plenty in the early '00s

    Considering their track record of releasing on garbage

    for the time in years IGN is problably right with the score

    Its genuinely Trash it looks like it was made in 2005 and its fucking Stuffed with bugs

    Are you really surprised, ideology first devs are not actual devs theyre activists. They can't make anything on their own they need to attach themselves to actual dev teams to get anywhere

  • how shit does something have to be for ign to give it below a 6

    Shitty games with box ticking get a pass for them, shitty games with fanservice for guys, don't get a pass

  • I remember that game. They refused to release it on PC, supposedly because “PC gamers will dress our female characters in a vulgar way with their mods" when in reality they had planned to release that same “vulgar content” as a paying DLC.

  • It looks like a very cheap and sloppy Unreal asset flip, thrown together at random in the hope that the protagonist’s ass taking up half the screen will save it from oblivion.

    Hey, it worked for Haydee...

    Nah I'm joking, Haydee at least had a passable metroidvania core, if very unpolished.

  • The studio is trying to generate some buzz knowing they have a shitty product and it's their only to generate some sales, best thing to do is ignore mentioning it.

  • "Oh no, anyway". I legit forgot this game even existed. Not even worth pirating tbh.

  • The game is always letterboxed because rendering the entire screen will chug the framerate on PS5; a console that rarely gets pushed to its limit. And the graphics isn't even that good.

    But when The Order 1866 came out I was assured letterboxing was simply what classy games did. Was I . . . le lied to?

    yeah, cause of urinal engine 5, the crappy devs' favorite asset flip engine. I bet it'll run like a total dog if they release it on PC.

    "a console that rarely gets pushed to its limit".

    I got news for you, PS5 reached its limit years ago. Omegalul, you talk as if it had some hidden alien tech.

  • Seems they didn't pay for a positive review

  • I'm leaning toward this being an extremely mid game that only has the player character's appearance going for it.

    It's better than Haydee. That's the best I can say about it

    My first thought on seeing the gameplay trailer was to compare it to Haydee. At least she's not quite as ridiculously proportioned.

  • It gets even better. They posted this on their X account:

    We make games for our fans and players who actually spend their hard earned money on our games and support us, not critics.

    Fans made us number one and fans are having fun with our “dated” old school gameplay.

    You all have made Code Violet our biggest success to date and still have 1 day to full release 🤩. We can’t thank all of you enough!

    There you have it. Even a bad game with bad reviews can make money.  I think we knew se(* sells.

  • I'm so tuned out of game news, I don't even know what this is. TLDR? 

    >dino crisis not!remake
    >Devs say it's not coming out on Steam because they hate seeing female characters stripped away by mods
    >a few weeks pass
    >devs show costumes that are worse than many mods
    >The game already looks awful from the trailers

  • It turns out you need more than asscheeks & dinosaurs to make a good game.

    I feel like it was bait to see if people would actually play Stellar Blade: shit edition as long as there was ass.

    The only problem is the devs also blasted those customers by whining about PC mods putting females in sexy outfits.

    They somehow managed to piss off everybody who would play their game. Dino Crisis fans who can see this game is shit and sexy female enjoyers because they demonised them.

  • Why does the guy look photorealistic and the woman looks like a robot with human skin draped over it's face?

  • They said it won't be coming to PC cause modders will do "naughty" things, fuck them

  • Werent these the guys who said they dont want a PC release cuz mods are scary?

  • This is the developer who pissed off both sides. They lean in to sexy women, pissing off the woke mob, but disparaged their real audience by gatekeeping modding for money money money while pretending they are doing it for 'virtuous' reasons.

    Fuck 'em.

  • Meh. Not surprised by the reviews, it’s a schlocky B tier game with ass and dinosaurs. I’ll wait for it to get inevitably patched and hit PS Plus or deeply discounted before I bother.

    Exactly this. I have a morbid curiosity to try out these "bad" games when they eventually become cheap enough. No way I'm paying the $75 they're asking for it, not for a 5 hours at most, below average AA thing, but as and when it eventually goes on deep sale for 85% off and it's $15 or thereabouts, that's when I'll see it is worth it even if it is shit. Did the same with mindseye (which actually turned out to be far better than its reputation suggests) and I even bought gollum when it became cheap enough, and even that endeared itself to me. That's the thing, if I go in KNOWING a game is crap, I have zero expectation, therefore it's impossible to be disappointed, as long as the price is low enough. If I had pre orders this I would be spraying.

  • PS5 is such a disappointing generation. More custom controllers and console plates than quality games.

  • Hope the game bombs after their decision to not release on PC because they were afraid of mods (lol).

  • Never even hard of that

    I'm not even hard!

    Hell, I'm softer than ever!

  • It's a great example that just adding sexual content to a game won't make it successful. There are actually several such examples, and not all of these games have been released this decade, such as Onechanbara Z2: Chaos. By the way, given the previous game by these developers Quantum Error, it was unlikely that Code Violet would turn out to be something good or at least normal.

    This game should be shown to idiots who think that Stellar Blade is a bad game and became successful solely because of the sexy characters, because Code Violet is really bad game, in which there is nothing good except a sexy and beautiful main character.

    It's a great example that just adding sexual content to a game won't make it successful.

    This dev simultaneously came out against sexual content and for sexual content.

    In all of this, they forgot to make a game.

    I don’t even get how people can say that about Stellar Blade. I haven’t played it myself, in but watching gameplay it really does seems like a solid character action game that probably wouldn’t have done significantly worse if it didn’t have the gooner bait.

  • is that Leon?

  • Aren't these the devs that said they didn't want anyone modding their main character with sexy clothes but then put some paid sexy skins on the game?

  • They could have released it on PC and allowed modders to help fix it, but nope.

    Oh well, nothing of value lost.

  • Bad game but still gets a 4/10? What does it take to get a 1?

    It's still a functional game, just crap. A 1 would be if it didn't function or was impossible to finish due to bugs (like underworld ascendant)

  • This is just pure fucking karma. This was the pathetic devs seething at PC gamers due to "raunchy" mods, now they will end up releasing this on PC due to poor sales most likely. Epic.

    It would seem its making money to no one surprised. At least that's what the devs states. 

  • I saw a couple of clips on YouTube and it looked sub par. The dinosaurs barely had any animation and didn't seem to react to getting shot. Granted that it could have been an early build. The Rex looked like a Jurassic park rip off. Couldn't even make a unique creature design.

    Look up the video of the TRex fight scene. It looks terrible. The Rex is literally running like a chicken.

    Gonna go and reinstall Turok.

  • This is no surprise, its a scam company who made another scam game. They only said the PC thing for clicks.

  • IGN reviews are untrustworthy. They are clearly both incompetent, and corrupt as well. their reviews can be bought, and they can be payed to give a bad review to competitors. i wish we all could collectively not give a rats ass about any review done by IGN.

    Rest assured, this game is absolute dogshit. A $50 Unreal Engine asset flip with god awful combat and a very short lackluster experience

    I generally ignore IGN. I've played a few games they've given 4 and 5 to and thoroughly enjoyed them,.more so than games they've rated 8 or 9.

  • Is a bad game. Sounds so simple yet a death sentence of a review.

  • This is hilarious and I'm glad it failed.

  • I love it when being a dick and dickying your game to shit go hand in hand.

  • Pushsaqure is a fairly reliable website and also fuck this game, the devs are lunatics

    Yeah I don't pay much heed to IGN but pushsquare seem more balanced and fair in their reviews.

    IGN stands for IDIOTIC GONAD NIMCONPOOP 

    And wkbw stands for wimpy kitty baby whiners

    UBISOFT stands Ugliness Buffonery Imbeciles Stubborn Failed Toddlers

  • They didn't put it on PC because they were afraid someone would mod in sexy outfits, fuck those losers.

    TeamKill Media: "For those asking us about a PC version of Code Violet… the reason we are not bringing it to PC is we do not want anyone modding vulgar versions of the main character as well as other characters in the game."

  • This either means they didn’t pander to the usual crowd and pass the Bechdel test or it’s legitimately shit. With those outlets it could be any

    It's legitimately shit

  • Looks and plays like a shitty nintendo wii game lol

    The Era of more shitty games and less golden gems

  • do people actually listen to "critics" still? lol

  • As someone who feels duped into buying this, I bought it mostly out of nostalgia for DC and that style of game, I can get over shallow fan service but the glitches and unpolished nature of the game is frustrating me. Im stuck somewhere between feeling like I have to finish it and being just interested enough to continue playing.

  • Preordered - thought it looked cool. Suffered through 15 minutes of play. I’ve never felt so let down by a developer. I emailed Sony/PS and TeamKill Media to share my disappointment and frustration. I care less about the outfit/female character/issue most have, than the quality of the “finished” product. I can’t believe they pushed out of this video game garbage in this state. I’ve purchased some bad games before, and stuck with a few of them over the years, which I’m sure most people can relate to, and know the games that I’m referring to. But this, this is just a plain ripoff. There isn’t any amount of retrograde development or updates TKM could produce that would even begin to rectify how utterly bad this game really is.

    Finally a helpful comment 

  • Oh no! Anyways...

  • is that Michael Jackson

  • Oh no, what happened? Oh nooo

  • Brutal, but funny given how they were behaving

  • TBF I wouldn't call this a PlayStation Exclusive. The only reason it's not on PC according to them is that players would mod the character to wear skimpy outfits, even though the preorder bonuses also come with skimpy outfits...

  • Isn't Stellar Blade used to be a PS5 exclusive?

    Yea but Stellar Blade has more reasons to play it than just jacking off to the main character

  • The game aint worth the 50 euro/50 bucks or whatever currency People use story is boring game is not even polished and the 2 Black bars are annoying the shit out of me only good thing is the model of violet is done Pretty well looks like all the money fĂśr this project when to her instead of the game itself wont recommend to buy it at all stay away from and if you wonder why it bought the game i was just bored and bought it because there aint no new games yet on ps5

  • It looks like a generic UE5 game with zero art style. Not surprised it sucks.

  • Looking at footage of this game and it absolutely has the look of a game that was made using UE5's default settings by 2-3 guys on their personal computers in a basement in Eastern Europe. There are hundreds of game like that on Steam.

  • Not that I give a shit about this game but since when do we care about Jurnos opinions in Kotakuinaction ?

  • TeamDumbass Media 😂

  • It may not be great, but “dated visual style” in the IGN review is likely code for “sexy female protagonist” so I’m not writing it off just yet.

    Nah the game looks terrible. I foolishly preordered it cause what little I saw looked like a throwback to Dino crisis. I had no idea it was going to be this bad. The character models look uncanny, model movement is incredibly awkward. No real facial changes during dialogue, literally the first enemy I saw floated through the air and clipped through me, doing damage without the model actually doing an attack animation. I shut it off and deleted it immediately. It is an absolute scam and I wish Sony wasn’t so hardcore about their no refund policy. I put 10 minutes into the game and I will never touch it again

    sony does refund if you ask nicely, you may find an empathetic chat rep. leave it running overnight, maybe it'll crash from a memory leak.

  • I watched some footage on YouTube. Looks like a good game. Camera angle is a little low, but I'm sure you can change that in settings. Everything else about it looks pretty cool. This one and The Invincible are the only games that have really interested me on PS5.

    Smuta and Mindseye also look like good games, but it's a total scam when you actually play them.

    Mindseye is actually pretty decent now. Probably was a shitshow at launch but as it is right now, it's worth playing.
