I've lost more than one friend to suicide and these scenes in this game did not traumatize me in the least. That signals to me a deep mental instability and a complete lack of grasp on reality, an inability to differentiate between reality and video games. Only when they have to point the gun at themselves is the morality questioned. I just simply can't understand however how someone who lost a loved one to suicide by firearm can play a virtual reality shooter and kill or die dozens of hundreds of times without issue. I agree that there should be a warning at the beginning of the game, and the game shouldn't be playable without choosing to enable or disable disturbing content. If the idea of shooting a virtual version of yourself in the head with a virtual gun triggers some horrible unstoppable response inside of you, then you honestly are not mentally stable enough to be playing any video game with guns. These users should simply be told to enjoy the hundreds of other experiences available on. These are people that should not be catered to, because catering to them ruins experiences for everyone else involved, and could even be considered dangerous. This is a "catering to people who are severely mentally unstable" issue. This is not a "catering to disabled users" issue. you are not mentally stable enough to be playing this game, and 2. If the idea of putting a virtual gun to your own head and killing your virtual character is just too much to bear, because you are incapable of separating a video game from reality, then 1. You shoot them in the head with guns and kill them. This is a video game about murdering people. I won't get into if it's right or wrong, but personally I feel no update should leave you with less than what you had before. We’re commited to shipping this update to all vr platforms. These scenes have no place in superhot virtual reality. All scenes alluding to self harm are now completely removed from the game. Considering sensitive time we’re living in, we can do better than that. “Skip disturbing scenes” toggle was added in a previous update. I'd suggest for people who have yet to finish the game that you avoid installing the update when it comes out.įor balance, here is a link to the developer post justifying the cuts: This is pretty nuts to be honest, given that's my most memorable event in the whole game. They didn't replace them, just flat out removed them. The developers pushed an update which removed a couple of key events in the game including where you can't escape and have to shoot yourself to get out of the level.
