SH4 release delayed (only in Germany?)

[DaMaGe007]

Possibly, or even better, the Atlantic may be populated with german vessels and require swastikas removed...

We can hope...

Edit: 7 year olds are already well on thier way to killing things, playing with starwars figurines shooting eachother.

My Nephew (about 7-8) was watching dragon ball Z the other day, and he held out somthing that looked like a knife and asked his brother (8-9) "Do you think you could stab someone with this ?"

I was surprised, but he is a pretty normal kid, naughty sometimes...

I think the age rating mainly relates to Gore, not killing things

Most likely it's the translations of voice and text I would think.

German authorities can be quite strict if it comes to violence. One game of the Command and Conquer series had a unit called 'suicide bomber' and German authorities forced them to get rid of that unit. And to make things worse we've got an ongoing discussion if playing Counterstrike makes you run amok.

Yes Polititions are like alot of parents, so busy telling children how to behave the dont get to see how they do behave when they are not around. If they could remember thier own childhood they would realise nothing has changed. I remember mine and we were just as bad. I have never been arrested or banned from an internet forum. They do it to gain the Vote from the parents, and that propaganda simply brainwashes some parents into losing contact with thier children or causing them to rebel.

I find it quite sad.

Edit:
Tonight on the News there were some polititions talking about trialing these new electric cars (Which cant even go on the freeway due to thier speed) Directly afterwards there was a comercial from the power company asking people not to run Airconditioners between 3 and 5 pm because the infastructure cant handle the demand...they have been taking about this "looming" crisis for 3 years, but have done nothing.
Polititions are the same the world over.

The gaming industry isnt the only one that has delays, look at the construction industry! LOL

Ubisoft has at present problems in Germany with IL2-1946, all delivered copies to the dealers were already recalled, because the game contains still some swastikas.

Backgroud: Swastikas in games are forbidden in France, Austria and Germany

Ubisoft probably does not want the same happened with SHIV because the recall costs Ubisoft money.

Just in case you live in Germany and don't know : You can order from www.amazon.co.uk and they will ship into any EU country. I order most of my games there, because ususally the german speakers make me sick. It's a bit more expensive (shipping and VAT), and you need a credit card, but apart from that there is no difference to ordering in Germany. And as I said, the originals are so much better usually. I also succesfully ordered some french music CD's from amazon.fr when they were unavailable here.

I bought the german version of SHIII because it is authentic to hear German on a U-Boat, but German on a American sub? Nah. That would ruin the athmosphere for me completely. I always want games to be in the authentic language. That's why I played Shogun Total War in Japanese, and why I will play Stalker in Russian, to give some examples.

Unfortunately they are dubbing every game in Germany and ususally the quality is very low. At least if you know what the originals sound like.

To bad that I don't have a credit card, but on the other hand amazon.co.uk doesn't offer the CE....

I'm sure there will be an english language option. <Part removed. We don´t really need to know that. - Gizzmoe>

[Gizzmoe]

Thanks, GE, I didn´t know that!
