Not sure who came up with the awesome coding of censoring the chat in GT5, but someone should give him an award. If SONY or PD is reading this, I would like to find out what is your logic, if there is any. Also I would like to find out what you guys are doing to censor voice chat since that is really a much bigger problem than censoring words like "engine" in a game about cars and racing.
Please add what you find.
Censored words:
- engine - green initiative? LOL
- Tsukuba - yeah, the circuit
- LSD - as in Limited Slip Differential
- lulz - means dick in Dutch...
- dirt - as in dirt tires
- pitting - as in pitting in
- ss - any word containing "ss", as in Camero ss = censored
- magic - sorry Disney
- nicht starten ("don't start" in German) - nicht means gay men in Dutch...
- hora ("hour" in Spanish) - They are only allowed to live in minutes
- junkies - as in speed junkies
- joint, puff, roll
I've viewed this for months as anonym and a user. Since then, I started collecting unnecessarily censored words. Here are some:
challenging - same reason as in engine - EDIT: I found out the meaning that was in search for 3 years. It is the synonym of d*ck in French
3 or more k's or x's
7 or more digits without a comma in between - Password or credit card number I guess.
entering - I don't know why
BJ-I don't know why, interesting thing about it is in some words, the PS3 will think it is part of a word and won't censor it.
XJ, as in Jaguar XJ13 - I don't know why
206, ZO6, Z06, 2O6 and similar, as in Peugeot 206 or Corvette Z06 - It made me go nuts. What is it?
Hitler - Maybe, but it is not a curse word - I don't know.
Connection, icon, disconnect, disconnection, pretty much every word with the letters "con".
Fallout - It will come out as *****ut.
Chatter - It will come out as ******r. EDIT: It is p***y in French.
Trigger - It will be tr*****.
Episode - E***ode. This one is better than the others though.
Lapping - I can't find its meaning. It will be *****ng. I mean, what is lappi?
I'll edit as I find more words and meanings in languages.
I'm not sure what Sony was thinking. I hope the same (bleep) won't be in the PS4.
Next up - Bleeping "curse" words on voice chat? Sony can do that too!
Also, yesterday I was in a group text chat. Some guy said **** (yes, it is the f-word that we all know) and it didn't get censored. HOW?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
EDIT:
This thread needs more updating...
Someone out there who speaks whatever language FICA is bad in, please fill us in.
modiFICAtion
qualiFICAtion
classiFICAtion
And yes, it's a PSN censor; PD has nothing to do with it.
Thanks to Google Translate, I found out it means: P***y in Italian.
