MarkD1990 Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 The Australian version of Grand Theft Auto IV will be uncensored. Here is a statement from Rockstar Games: "No GTA has been censored since Vice City. Grand Theft Auto IV has been rated in its entirety. The rating is on the OFLC website." The rating given was MA15+ for strong violence, strong coarse language, and drug and sexual references. Source: Planet GTA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTA Don Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 How come it's only the Australian version that's being uncensored? Odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bossman Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 I presume the same will happen for the other versions as well - English and American. Unless, you mean that previous GTA games in Australia were censored, and this time it won't be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkD1990 Posted February 4, 2008 Author Share Posted February 4, 2008 Most probs they're saying its uncensored for Australia for now, because its been rated, and once the US and Europe has been done, and then they will be uncensored Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris82 Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 How come it's only the Australian version that's being uncensored? Odd. The Australian government feels that it has the duty to protect children from obscene material (lol) so they review video games and if they are too violent or sexual they are refused classification and not permitted to be sold. The US will never censor a game in such a way but again if a game is too violent or sexual then the ESRB will give it the AO rating, meaning it won't be sold in most stores. The British don't give a fuck and games rated 18 are still sold in stores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azn Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Screw the Government. My 8 year old brother plays San Andreas, picks up hookers then runs them over to get his money back, slashes the heads off random people with his Katana and he hasn't gone out on a rampage with a gun yet and doesn't plan to. It won't make a difference whatever they will decide to rate the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTA Don Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Then maybe Jack Thompson will leave R* alone. Unlikely though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charger Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 The rating given was MA15+ for strong violence, strong coarse language, and drug and sexual references. Wheres the blood? Unless that forgot to be mentioned.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Brad~ Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 (edited) God no...he is gonna jump on R*'s case again. Im sure. So where is the catch...I mean the game is gonna be pretty much violent and bloody, how did the Aussies allow it to slip. I mean, ya I know VC and above went by without hindrance. Maybe their level of violence is a bit higher than what we think. I don't know honestly. Edited February 6, 2008 by ~Brad~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
