Is the censoring the developers/publishers fault? Or was it an EU Pegi issue or something? If so, don't knock the people who put all that hard work to make that game. |
Germany needed a censored version, SCEE decided since TM is mainly popular in the US "Let us be cheap arses and instead of making two versions for Europe, censor it for everyone!"
Because that is likely to spark EU interest...

Sounds like a very reasonable decision. Do you know what the added cost or development time it would have been to do two versions? Is it really that big of an issue? A little bit of censorship like that doesn't ruin the game, it just cut a little cut scene right? If its that much of an issue import it from the US.

They made two versions anyway, censored and uncensored, so it would have cost them nothing to 'develop' it. They changed some special attacks also, not just cutscenes.

Out of interest, what special attacks did they change? After a bit of research I only found one, Meat Wagon's special attack (patient on a gurney) was changed to being dead rather than alive when fired - http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/115683-Twisted-Metal-Delayed-and-Censored-for-Europe.
Tbh, it made very little difference to my gameplay - I didn't even know he was supposed to be alive when I first played the game! But, I do understand why people might be annoyed as it seems un-necessary.
