I'd like to know how long before a game is set to be released does it go into mass production. I'm curious as to whether this could hurt Take 2's bottom line as they'd have thousands of coasters.
It's almost no question that they'll edit the game in order to get it released, but I'm also curious as to what they'll be taking out. I wonder just how far over the edge it is. Other than the Hot Coffee fiasco is there a precedent for this? If so I'm curious as to whether making a "bad" game and slowly tweaking it up to the ESRB's breaking point would allow you to get more in than starting over the line and working your way backwards. Jam it back in, in the dark. |

I'd like to know more about the rating process. I mean what's to stop the company from not showing off some of the more risque parts? After hearing about the raping of the dead body I can see why that would get an AO. Take 2 HAD to know that that would push it over the edge.
It would actually be adept of a company to put something ridiculously over the edge like this and make other things in the game look tame by comparison. With the release date altered I'm sure that wasn't the goal here, but I'm sure it could work some time down the line. Oh, and they can take every drop of blood out of the game, but LEAVE THE CAT IN THE MICROWAVE PART IN! That is 3 helpings of awesome. (and a little random 3rd party necrophillia never hurt anyone). There's nowhere I can't reach.

Well I think there's also something to be said for controlling the violence and thus to some extent acting it out as opposed to a movie where the viewer is only seeing it happen.
So, in a video game it's 1st or 2nd person violence where in a movie it's 3rd person. Furthermore scary movies are intended to shock and put the audience at unrest thus making it offensive to some extent. In some video games success is determined by the amount of violence commited thus it's more of an endorsement. Lastly your average video game is going to be 5x longer than an average movie which extends the experience. So it's like holding a flame under your hand for 1 second vs. 5. It can be argued that the length of a video game has more of a "burn in" affect. Most amazing jew boots |
