黑道圣徒4澳洲评级更改为15+ 肛门探测器遭移除
《黑道圣徒4》和澳大利亚评级机构之间的爱恨纠葛终于结束了,今天《黑道圣徒4》终于获得了澳洲MA15+的评级,并允许在澳大利亚发售了。原版曾两次被澳大利亚评级机构所拒,游戏在进行修改后被评为了MA15+,如此大的落差让人不禁心生疑问,游戏到底改成什么样了。
澳大利亚的本土经销商AIE称,本地化的版本只是在原版基础上“稍微修改了下”,对比国际版“只有一个单人支线任务被去除。”跟大家预期的一样,游戏中对违禁药品的不正当描述才是游戏被拒的重要原因。
AIE说:“大家最近评论的被修改关卡是需要玩家使用虚拟的外星毒品,这个毒品可以暂时提高玩家游戏中超能力。”“游戏中的外星肛门探测器也被移除,但它仍会在季票DLC包出现,这个季票DLC包不止澳大利亚,全世界都是一样的。”发行商Deep Silver对此发表了一份额外的声明。
Deep Silver说:“这个任务在数小时游戏流程中大概只占有20分钟。”“移除的任务并不会对游戏故事或人物能力有负面影响,所以大家在《黑道圣徒4》中体验不会有丝毫影响。”
“外星肛门探测器将转移到DLC包里,感谢澳大利亚评级机构对我们工作的支持和帮助。”《黑道圣徒4》将会在8月22日登陆PC, PlayStation 3 和 Xbox 360平台。
Statement from the game's publisher Deep Silver and local distributor AIE
Deep Silver and AIE are pleased to report that the Australian Classification Board has now approved Saints Row IV for sale. They have granted the game an MA15+ rating. To achieve this rating one loyalty mission featuring the character Shaundi has been removed. This mission has been widely reported on and contains the use of alien narcotics to obtain certain superpowers.
This mission represents approximately 20 minutes of gameplay out of the hours available to purchasers.
The removal of this mission has no negative impact on the story or the superpowers and will not detract from the enjoyment players will get from their Saints Row IV experience. The rectifier weapon will be available as part of a DLC package as originally intended. Deep Silver stands by this decision and thanks the Australian Classification Board for their assistance with this matter.”
In this instalment in the Saints Row franchise, developer Volition continues the story of the Third Street Saints by elevating their status to the highest level – the leaders of the free world. But the leaders of the free world are under attack from an alien invasion in the land of the free, and it's up to you and your gang to save the world, Saints-style.
