Yeah man i sure would - there should be an R Rating!!!

I tried to entertain this thread idea today but it got locked because...

a) it has nothing to do with playstation3 WTF?

b) and its inappropriate WTF??

Its a completely relevant and topical thread discussion.

We need an Admin to mod the Admins sometimes - because this is a relevant topic!

They will eventually.

I was saying this to Ellie last night...

Right now old people 60+ think of games like "oh silly videogames are for kids" or "oh i wouldnt even know how to work that thing" BUT

When we are 60 we will have grown up with games and this technology all our lives - we are really coming into this at ground level so one we are that age we will still accept these mediums.

Now - as game and cinema slowly merge we will find games becoming more and more cinematic, more and more immersive and more and more interactive and thus the ratings WILL HAVE TO align perfectly. Hence,there will be an R Rating sooner or later.

Dude, the day gaming becomes like Hollywood is the day I give up gaming. Movies aren't art anymore, they're a product...

The day you can be "in the game" is not the same day you give up on videogames.

r18 games would be awesome. it would give developers more freedom. blitz teh league etc had to be either not released here or toned down to meet m15+ standards. the same goes with grand theft auto 3 back in the day. if we had r18 we wouldn't of had to have chopped up games.

No... Leisure Suit Larry Series was made by Sierra and a lot of them are just like Kings Quest or Space Quest series but with sexual innuendo...

The games that have been officially pulled off shelves are hardly big hit titles, i mean, Narc, i think one was called, bmx xxx (or was that altered?) leisure suit larry and manhunt, which was an absolute average game at best. As for the GTA's its not like there entirely banned, just a few small changes, thats all, as long as the game is released im happy, dont really care about not being able to see naked pixels in action really, if i want to perv, i'll hire rumble roses or play doa4, i just hope it doesnt get worse further down the track.

The games in the US are based on letters like our movies, but its the letter "M" for games, and letter "R" for movies

The new colour coded system that was introduced about two years ago brings game and video into exact alignment, the only thing differring being that there is no black R18+ rating for videogames.

A videogame can go all the wat up to the red MA15+ and then it becomes banned.

Effectively we do have an R18+ rating - banned games.

my point is that the goverment won't give games a 18+ rating!! why?? do they think that only kidds play these game as far as i can see no kid has $1000 for the PS3 plus $100 a game(hell i don't, i'm still saving)and even if they did its up to there parents to stop them from playing games they shouldn't be playin and its up to the retailers to not sell games to under aged kidds. yeah yeah i know that EB and other sellers ask for id now on M15+ games,but i have seen to many times when this happens the kid just get mum and or dad to buy it for them not even looking at what they are buying for them. i hav told many a parent not to buy games(GTA and the like) for their 10yr old kidds, they are games but so many of them are NOT for children

It will happen rob - games become more sophisticated everyday.

When making a game now the process isnt just reliant on a bunch or geeky no sunlight programmers.

There is so much outside support need to create awesome games now like, architects, scientists, weapons experts, psychologists, professors, etc.

Some day the sofware will be designed that we make the choices and choose the content in the game in realtime - so then games will need a new rating which is dependent on the users imagination.
