News: Decapitation and dismemberment a no-no.
Australian classification board OFLC, has refused to classify Dark Sector.
It is a pure deja-vu of the Manhunt 2 rating fiasco of last year where the game was banned in the UK.
The OFLC has cited that Dark Sector is a:
"violent and sometimes gruesome game with a sinister storyline and ominous outcome. The violence and aggression inflicted upon the protagonist is of a high level, naturalistic and not stylised at all."
Also citing this example:
"When Hayden cuts off his opponent's limb with the glaive, large amounts of blood spray forth from the stump and the injured person screams in agony which increases the impact."
"Decapitation, dismemberment of limbs accompanied by large blood spurts, neck breaking twists and exploding bodies with post-action twitching body parts" are "relatively easy to accomplish."
Now it is in Digital Extremes' hands whether or not they want to re-submit the game in a softer form or simply skip the territory.
More on this as it unfolds.
