Default Resident Evil 4

Ok, I'm not one to bitch about violence in videogames, but RE 4 has gone WAAAAAAAAY too far. When your putting in images so violent they would receive an x rating in movie, its time to re-evaluate how the industry is regulating itself.

Think I'm overreacting? Take a look at this:



That in game pic makes my nuts shrink. I don't know why, I guess its so disturbing that my nards are literally independently scared from the rest of my body.

I think its time that the industry starts to regulate itself better, before the FCC feels its time they should start regulating it.

So why can't they put extreme violence in games, but they can in movies?

Huh? Why?

They both have ratings to tell you who the game is for. Parents ignore game ratings because they think its just a game, so things get blown out of perportion.

Look at it this way, a mother wont let her 10 year old to go see a violent slasher movie, but she would probably let her kid rent this.

And i totally disagree with you, they shouldnt stop making violent games, or make them less violent. Why dont you complain about gory images in movies, or the news? Those are with real people, not computer animated graphics.

I see no problem whatsoever with this.

I don't like the violence either. I'm not even sure if I'm going to play RE4.
I have to say, that's not just because of the violence...

Hey Mr. Conservative, if you're too much of a ***** to play that game, then don't. But leave it alone.

um. thats quite a tame picture as far as movies go.

infact, if a movie was all fine except for that sceen i doubt it'd even get an R rating.

movies are much much much more violent then that and are rated R. theres nothing wrong with the game.

I dont see what the big deal is. I'm a very liberal person...and I see absolutely nothing wrong with this game. I dont care how violent it is, or how much gore there is...I still wouldnt see anything wrong with it, as long as it got the appropriate rating (M). Movies have been doing things like this forever...and there was nothing wrong with it then, so it shouldnt be even stricter for a video game.

And you said something about the movie industry actually enforcing their rules...not from what I can tell. I'm 17 years old, and I can go to any movie I want (and take my kid brother who is 12) and I can garuntee they wouldnt stop me from coming in. I've went and watched several R movies (Matrix...T3) and no theatre has yet asked me to verify my age. Keep in mind I was also much younger when I went to watch Matrix, and I was 16 when I saw T3.

Video games are a form of art...and I do not believe that the artist should have to hold back. If he wants to depict something, he should be allowed to. I mean, if something like this happened in real life (a guy got hit with a chainsaw), do you think little black censor boxes would float out of no where and edit out the blood? No. If this game is going to be realistic, then it has to be just that: realistic.

I agree that the industry could do something like "carding" people to make sure they are of the appropriate age...but when the rating is so clearly on the box, it is the parents fault. If they let their kid get the game, then it's their fault. Werent you the guy that said it was the customers fault if they bought a horrible video game? Well, shouldnt it also be the customers fault if they buy a game not suitable for them? The developers have done their job, as you once said. They have made the game, and made it ready to sell. Now it's your job to buy it.

The first matrix was pg-13 when it hit theatres, wasnt R untill it came out on DVD because of the shootings at the school that happened.

Really? That's odd..... imdb says nothing about it being PG-13, but yeah I know there have been a couple of times where I see a movie being advertised as PG-13, then as it gets closer to release it says R... Or vice versa...

Errr I mean, go Resident Evil 4! Be gorey and stuff!... Etc..
