I thought the German sensors only applied to human gore? Meaning acts of violence on human characters is not allowed.
As stated before, the rules appear to be totally random.
If the game is 18+ no self-censorship is necessary. RO was only self-consored because they wanted it to be 16+. I don't think they can shoot for a 16+ with Killing Floor anyhow, so if they go with 18+ we are likely to see an unaltered German version.
There are many games that are 18+ in germany and still censored.
Gears was never sold in Germany, how can it be indexed?
they can index any game, even if it can only imported.
Afaik the PC version wasn't released, the XBOX one was.
nope
so get it as importet version ( the better game stores do that ) or get it gifted from someone outside of churmany.
that would work, i'd like that to be the normal purchase process for killing floor in germany. WOuld be best, if there wouldnt be a german version at all. We can get the game here anyway, so we'll just have to import a boxed version or ask a friend. Pkease, tripwire, don't team up with these communist censorship suckers!
I think the German laws only have to do with gore/violence so penises are ok.
Although, the shlong will have to be censored in the Japanese version.
hm yes, nudity isn't a problem, games with penises etc. are 16+ and that's ok. i mean, waht's the problem? or other question: what's worse? showing a penis or blowing someone's brains off?
Here we go with this old discussion again
First off, the RO version DOES have most of the gore. It has all the blood and everything. The only thing missing is limb removal, and total obliteration. Everything else is still there.
Regarding KF, we'll push the gore as far as we can and still get the game on the shelves in Germany. Exactly like we did with RO.
most of means cut, and cut is bad
I bought the german version and didn't expect it to be cut and that's why i didnt play it much because I boycut censored games and I have all my other games uncut.
kf is steam-only. okaysoft cant help.
i tried to get kf over an uk proxy server.
but it failed on the billing address...
i bought the german version of l4d.
and this version suck. no blood on the screen,
no ragdolls, no headshots, failing handling with
achievement (pistol only ach. for exapmle),
...and so on.
I heard a bout a friend who made the same mistake and contacted the valve support. just ask valve and they will give you your money back if you send them a retail uncut left 4 dead key within two weeks
What if you accidently bring out the german version a day later, so that preorders get the real thing? Think kinda the same happend for L4D preorders. Or a way to play with an uncut mutator thats not server sided, means u can activate it even if the server doesnt have it. Since Steam just gives you no way to easily "patch" the game back to the original version with all the verifying and updating stuff, there isnt much to do for us. Or a little .ini file that doesnt get reset by Steam saying PlayTheGameAsItWasMeantToBe=True. Dont get me wrong, its not always about the gore, but on this game it is! What better hit-feedback can be there then exploding bodies and limbs flying around.
Please, Tripwire, just do it a s epic did it with UT2004. UT2004 was released cut, but one of the first patches turned it into a full version again. The USK retards won't even notice, because they care only about the game's initial state. At least, they didn't index UT2004
I'd love to see a full version of killing floor on my steam account. I really loved playing the mod version and I sorta knew that it was going retail even as it wasn't announced yet, because the mod really had a great potential.
anyway, uncut or nothing. you can't make a zombie splatter game without zombies and splatter
