GTA: San Andreas to be Re-Released Next Week

Posted by samzenpus on from the now-suitable-for-children dept.

404Ender writes "According to GameStop and EB, the wildly successful Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas will finally be re-released without the controversial "Hot Coffee" content and clean of anything that might demand an AO rating. Will this be the first game in a series of many to come that will be pulled off the market to be changed due to questionable content? How long before a Hot Coffee replacement mod is produced?"

    Thank God. I'll be the first person to download and patch my PC version of "Grand Theft Auto." I want to shoot people in the face, bang prostitutes, traffic drugs, steal cars, and terrorize police officers without this filthy smut in my game.

    This just in, Rockstar North pulled a "Speilberg" today by re-releasing their "GTA:San Andreas" game without any guns, sex, or even reckless driving available.

    First impressions of the game seem to be mixed, as you're only allowed to walk around town and wave to people.

    I am presuming therefore that your M (17+) rating is equivalent to our 15 rating, which presumably means you are quite happy for 15 year old American youths to play out scenes where they can mug people, shoot cops, steal cars, use the services of prostitutes and so forth

    Yup. That "17+" clearly stated in there means 15 over on this side of the Atlantic. In fact we subtract two from all positive European integers.

    you can join the military at 17 in the US. It would also be a little stupid to say "you aren't allowed to see violence in video games, if you want to see that... go to Iraq!" In other words, shoot people with computerized guns: not until 18 .. shoot people with real guns: 17

    Oh I see, so it's okay to not only pretend to kill people, but actually do it in real life as a profession. But seeing sex depicted in a game? Hell no! That better be for Adults Only!
