Quote:
Take-Two Interactive may not have a follow-up for Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas yet, but it appears the publisher does have a pseudo-sequel to that game's Hot Coffee scandal on its hands.

The Entertainment Software Ratings Board today issued a parental advisory that it has changed the rating of Take-Two subsidiary 2K Games' hit role-playing game The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion for the PC and the Xbox 360. (Inital reports indicated that only the PC version of the game had been re-rated.) Originally released with a rating of T for Teen, the game has now been rerated M for Mature, due to "more detailed depictions of blood and gore than were considered in the original rating, as well as the presence of a locked-out art file or 'skin' that, if accessed through a third-party modification to the PC version of the game, allows the user to play with topless versions of female characters."

Before the game was rerated, Pete Hines of Oblivion developer Bethesda Softworks discussed the mod with GameSpot. "Obviously we have a pretty big, and active, mod community for the PC version, and there are some gamers who hacked into Oblivion's art archive files and modified them to create a nude upper female torso in the game," Hines said. "We can't control and don't condone the actions of anyone who alters the game so that it displays material that may be considered offensive. We haven't received any complaints on the issue from anyone."

The ESRB is adding a "nudity" content descriptor to the PC version of the game "until it can be re-mastered and released with the topless skin removed."

Typical american... if a game contains violence with blood, brains, legs chopped off whatever its ok. But if there is a nipple or whatever it will make the entire younger generation totally fucked... yeeeeeah, suuuure...

Still, changing the rating simply because of a mod is insane...

What if I made a hudge cock mod where the object of the games is to molest all the children in town with my oversised man meat of force +4 and ultimately score by making as many anal cream pies as possible. Will they change the rating to XXX on this title? Rolling Eyes

Your location is norway, so I'm going to assume you weren't born in a native english land. I've always wondered what it is that causes foreign people to think the word suicide is a verb. I had a french gf for awhile who was the same way, I never got how she turned that into a verb.

Looks like an A-cup and the small size is more offensive than the nudity. Doesn't count.

Did you read the part about Bethesda preventing modders from changing their art assets? This is ridiculous! I could also modify the worst game in the world MYST with nude textures - should that be rated M as well?

No.
Oblivion installs nude skins on your PC when you install the game. They are locked, yes, but obviously Bethesda made them and left them there for you to unlock. Same with GTA.
And yes, americans are Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes

I for one am an american and have no problem with games content. Its not like "ALL" Americans are this uptight. I agree that the people involved in stirring up this BS are a buncha attention whores, but honestly people..... Its not ALL Americans that feel this way, just the A**holes that happen to have the power... And Im plenty embarrased by those "americans" in power.

On the same note, plenty of other country's have stupid and pointless things that they do... Its the idoits who managed to gain wealth and power. But its equally foolish to point a finger and say that that 'general' nationality is acting "typical" or being "Attn Whores"...

Dont get me wrong tho, I fully agree things like this are pointless..

WHY THE FUCK DO YOU CARE WHAT ESRB RATES A GAME.

Holy shit, it's a fucking independant company who puts stickers on games.

The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) is a self-regulatory organization that applies and enforces ratings, advertising guidelines, and online privacy principles for computer and video games in the United States and Canada (officially adopted by individual provinces 2004-2005). It was established in 1994 by the Interactive Digital Software Association. By early 2003, it had rated over 8,000 titles submitted by 350 publishers. Many believe that the ESRB may promote media restriction, while others think that it is necessary for software to have content ratings. The decision to found the ESRB was influenced by the graphic "fatality" killing moves of Mortal Kombat and other controversial video games depicting violent or sexual situations at the time, and by pressure from the United States government.

Cartoon, are you french? Dont you have a war to lose or something by now?
