Silent Hill: Homecoming edits for Australia explained |
Ó
We finally have news of what Atari changed in Silent Hill: Homecoming so that it could be reclassified by the OFLC ratings board and get itself out of "banned" status. Originally, the OFLC refused to give the game a rating because of some disturbing scenes involving a drill, but now, they've managed to curb around that.
Speaking to Edge, Atari explains that the changes they've made to the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC versions don't affect actual gameplay. All edits were made only to certain cutscenes:
where new camera angles and techniques will be used to reduce the impact of the unclassifiable material. [Such tweaks have...] only been made to some scenes, while the original storyline remains unchanged.
Interestingly enough, our Kiwi friends in New Zealand will actually get an unedited version, but still be classified with a strict R-rating.

As an Aussie game this doesn't really bother me as i buy all my games on eBay and this game has been on eBay since day one
Errrr.... what?
They changed a few camera angles during cutscenes and now its ok? Should I laugh or cry?
Pathetic. Seriously, guys just release it for PC without a rating. If this idiot organizations are gonna make you go through editing a game to receive their "approval" why bother?
Its already out on PC.
Also why is it listen in PSP? It should be under PS3, Xbox 360 and PC
It's on PC but it's rated. They dont have to get it rated or edit it, they chose too.
