Fallout 3 Edited Version To Hit Australian Shelves

Posted by timothy on from the full-up-on-mutant-insects-and-jellyfish dept.

UgLyPuNk contributes this excerpt from Internode Games Network, which might interest Australian readers in particular: "Just last week, we told you that Fallout 3 had been resubmitted to the Classifications Board, in the hope that it would be deemed suitable for Australian audiences. While the Classifications Board can take between a few days and a few weeks to hand down their decision — it seems that the edits made to the Bethesda Softworks title have been successful, with the second edition of the game granted a new MA15+ rating this afternoon. We don't yet have the details of the decision, but are currently finding out just what was changed in the game in order to secure the new rating — and release in this country."

    All in game characters have been replaced with nannies trying to feed you the Australian bottle of ignorance.

    Nope. All the NPCs died from nuclear radiation.

    Since Australians are upside-down, they had to change the title to "Climbout 3".
