For the consoles exit from Ready or Notthe Void Interactive studio wants to put small dishes in the big ones. New animations under Unreal Engine 5 with variations in movements for increased realism, two new missions, difficulty system, renovation of artificial intelligence … but also censorship. “” During the portage, we did our maximum to modify only what was absolutely no negotiation for our partner manufacturers, and any change brought to remain faithful to the original tone of the game, so don’t worry “, Seeks to temper the announcement press release. But you can already guess that it is the storm in the Steam comments.
Void interactive details the changes to come in Ready or Not. Some, such as the impossibility of dismembering corpses, are quite reasonable; “” We consider this acceptable compromise because our gameplay discourages you to use the lethal force, anyway. Others are more open to the debate, such as this child in the mission “Twisted Nerve” who will now be unconscious instead of convuling, or Gerard, suspect of the mission “A Lethal obsession” which once wandered the zob in the air and which must now cover itself.
« These changes in the console version are quite subtle for the majority of players to do not detect them, but we prefer to be transparent. […] If the models involved are different [sur PC et console]this makes crossplay inoperable; The content must be identical or basically identical. Different versions of the same asset affects multiplayer replication, that is to say the server’s ability to understand what is going on in play and welcome players in the same lobby/server “Explains the new Devblog.
Since his early days, Ready or Not has often aroused controversy for its fun representation of the work of special forces. As early as December 2021, Team17 broke its publishing agreement with Void Interactive when the studio announced on Reddit that a shooting in a high school or a university would be included later. This mission, late, is called “Elephant” (after the eponymous film by Gus Van Sant) and takes place in a university during a hostage taking. More generally, Ready or Not also affects pedophilia and other sexual crimes. Some textures will also be altered on consoles to reduce references, but this adjustment will not concern the PC version.
Ready or Not will be available on PS5 and Xbox Series on July 15.
