Skip the he said/she said and look at the trend; GTA 3, Vice City, and San Andreas were ALL modified in some way for release in Australia. Given Rockstar's penchant for pushing the envelope, it's at least likely that they would have to cut more to reach an M15+ rating, as opposed to the corresponding M17+ and M18+ ratings elsewhere. -- Icemage --- Creating a mod requires: Creativity.

All I'm pointing out is that, given the past history, assuming that GTA4 will remain unmolested is naive in the extreme. Regardless of what random people on the net may say or claim, unless it comes directly from Rockstar, Take Two Interactive, or the OFLC, it's not official. In any case, I guess we'll know the truth in ten days when the game officially ships. -- Icemage --- Creating a mod requires: Creativity. Skill. Effort. Two out of three doesn't count.

Mr_Cyberpunk Game Developer	Calm it down.. What Internode are trying to say is that we've got absolutely no fucking idea what they have removed because rockstar won't disclose it.. anyway let it go.. we've just got 7 more days until the big day.

Icemage Substance > Hype	Au.gamespot.com GameSpot wrote:GameSpot AU can now explain in some detail at least one change that has been made. Having just received a region one version of the game, we tested out a few scenarios and only found one difference so far: how the game deals with prostitution. In Australian versions of GTAIV, Niko can indeed pick up prostitutes, but once he takes said sex worker to a secluded area, the game camera shifts to a tight shot of the rear of the vehicle the pair are in and cannot be moved. In the region one version, once Niko finds a secluded spot, an extra option pops up, asking whether Niko wants the $20 or the $50 service. Once the appropriate "service" is chosen, the act begins, but instead of a static camera, players can freely rotate the game camera around the vehicle. But in all other aspects, the Australian version and the region one version seem identical so far. GameSpot AU will report any further differences it spots as we explore the overseas version of the game. -- Icemage --- Creating a mod requires: Creativity. Skill. Effort.

If you cannot play a controversial game such as GTAIV in all its glory then there is nothing wrong with that. Im sure the game is not a porno.
