Gears 2 Going to have a violence filter.
Quote:
UK, August 6, 2008 - Gears of War 2 is to ship with an optional violence filter in an attempt to placate the concerns of parents about the game's graphic content.

Whilst stopping short of turning Marcus into an angst ridden teddy bear shooting streams of candy into the gaping mouths of dewy eyed locusts, the filter will turn the blood into sparks and remove harsh language, in news reported by MCV.

Due out on November 7th, Gears of War 2 will likely receive an 18 rating on UK shores.

I actually found the part about the parents the funniest, the game will more than likely have an 18 rating; so if parents are worried they shouldn't let there children play on games there to young for in the first place LOL.

Re: Gears 2 Going to have a violence filter.
This is officially stupid!!!! i cant stand these people, the kind of people that are so blinded by the fact they THINK gaming is to blame for everything and that their precious 12yr old is soo innocent. that they cant even read the dam box with a great big "18" on the front.......bottom line dont buy 18 rated games for minor.....no problem!

So true, I can't stand when games get blamed for everything.
GTA always gets it. It's like saying "My kid plays for Man.United, he played FIFA 08."

Re: Gears 2 Going to have a violence filter.
gears 1 had the same filter, its because microsoft object to the chainsaw etc, its about companies not wanting to be known for making a game with ppl chainsawing each other to death. Stupid but it covers there asses

Re: Gears 2 Going to have a violence filter.
After playing Gears of War. I wanted to be just like Marcus Fenix. So I grew a beard and made some armour out of egg cartons. Only thing I was missing was a chainsaw baynote so I went to my local DIY store to get me a chainsaw.
Next day I invited timmy over to show him. I tought it would be funny if I chainsawed him cause Marcus did it to the locust.

Re: Gears 2 Going to have a violence filter.
Do they not think 12yr olds are clever enough to find the options menu and turn the filter off?
