Forums - Gaming - It's Official: Fallout 3 Banned In Australia

Thankgod for the PS3 being region free. Dark sector and shellshock 2 have already been banned this year by the stupid OFLC. I am seriously sick of there being no R18+ for games over here. Not that i could play R18+ games, but it would still be convienent for most gamers in Australia.

Yea GTA was cut. Look hopefully if we steal / import enough copies of these games the government will miss revenue, change their moral objections (bcoz of tax greed)and bring R 18 + in. They have already done a survey this year resulting in unanimous support for the same classifications for games and movies. GTA (and its economic contribution, lol) was a prime causal impact on the governments interest in getting real world opinions on R 18.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

Hopefully the developers will do what Rockstar did with GTAIV and just slightly edit the game to get the classification and a local release. Simply changing the names of the 'chems' might be enough.



You aussie gamers just need to get your voices heard more and wield the Vote against any politician that wont go along with what you want.

Maybe, but apparently there are associated visual representations with them including a "crack type pipe", so I assume they will have to change these too. It a bit more than the cut from GTA.

Ridiculous, It's getting a little stupid.
