Forums - Sony - MAG recieves a TEEN rating from the ESRB

Yeah this will probably help the sales,since its not ''Mature''

I CAN'T recognise DARTH threads anymore!

This is what I was expecting; it doesn't seem overly violent or graphic.

There Will be option for Co-op offline?? 2 or 4 players off line??



The Teen rating is considered the best rating for maximizing profits.



i find this interesting, this game gets a teen rating in the USA

i believe MAG will probably end up on the "index" in germany, meaning that it can be sold, but not advertised or even openly shown in s store, due to its "violent" contents.

On the other hand, i doubt that Heavy Rain will end up on the index in germany for its strip scene, but that vice versa is what might enrage the US-Public.

i am not judging any moral standards here, just trying to point out the differences :D





“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

Is CoD and Battlefield M or Teen? If this is rated lower (ESRB rating, not meta) than those games, that's somewhat surprising.



wow didnt see that coming



Teen means a wider audience so more sales and therefore more players meaning a better experience for this game.



They probably couldn't tell the extent of the violence because the terrible graphics keep blocking it. JK, hopefully this helps sales!
