Forums - Microsoft - GTAIV edited for Australian gamers. Thankyou South Australian Government!

Better hope the Australian version isn't keyed to use Australian servers for online... or that you can select servers. Otherwise, importing may get you a more "bloody" version of the game - but an unplayable multiplayer experience.

But Aussies can import a US copy of the PS3 version and play it in their PS3, yeah? What a boon for Sony! Region compatibility ftw.

And IGN said the PS3 version has better graphics than the 360 version anyway.


uh oh... starcraft meltdown incoming


Lol, their may have been if there was any truth to what he was saying.


They threw a bone to the Xbots with "more vibrant".  Face it, the different versions of cross-plat games are always going to be a little darker or lighter than the other.  What, PS3 can't display as many colors or something?  B f'ing S.  

Now, more jaggies vs less jaggies objectively shows superiority.  Bang, truth to what I said.

Damn i think i will give GTA 4 a miss if this is the case. Expect Ninja Gaiden 2 to be also banned or edited just like Dark Sector got banned in Australia.

It sucks that the Australian bureaucrats banned Dark Sector. That means Aussies will need to get illegal imports of genuine games from US or Europe.



What exactly will be edited though? Surely the difference's wont be major, just reduced blood and language I would hope.



Most likely the US version of the game will be region free. It is that way on a lot of games. e.g. I bought a copy of my Bioshock (US 360 ver.) to play on my JP 360. I'm looking at picking up COD4 (US 360 ver.) to play on my JP 360. I'd pre-order GTAIV for the 360 (US ver.), but I'm waiting to see if it will be region free or not.

Usually, they test games for each regions consoles to see if they work or not.

Remove all the F words. the swearing is what makes the game combined with over the top blood and gore in the violence of GTA 4.

BTW In real life every sentence I speak every second word is F that comes out my mouth.



I don't understand why there is legal censorship today. Warning labels should be enough.

The US doesn't have legal censorship, but it does exist in a more economic sense. If a rating is above M (or movie above R), your game/movie basically has no where to sell.



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

A couple of bleeped words and blurred tits wouldn't stop me from buying this game. This is Game of the Year material. Great gameplay, Great story and Great Freedom. Yes the editing does suck balls but it shouldnt prevent you from buying it.

 There was some truth to what he was saying. but it is not as black and white as the way he made it seem. As you had pointed out.

So  Kudos
