Skythe Posted July 29, 2004 Posted July 29, 2004 This Manhunt banning is old news to me. Banning the game will actually increase the sells till it actually becomes banned.
OverlordMondo Posted July 29, 2004 Posted July 29, 2004 I never saw how green blood did an adequete job of censoring... Like in HotD3, the blood was green, but you can change it back to red in the settings menu anyway...I always assumed that zombie blood WAS green, and that, if I shot a zombie, green blood would come out of it's wounds. But then, I don't really know these things.
Jjangthekid Posted July 29, 2004 Posted July 29, 2004 i should play manhunt and see how violent it is..i thought duke nukem was violent

Daeval Posted July 29, 2004 Posted July 29, 2004 (edited) While working retail, I saw parents who would ONLY buy mature rated games to play with their elementary-school-age kids because they thought anything less than an M rating meant it was boring. Obviously, rating systems can backfire without responsible adults. No, I don't think games should be banned by a government, but I do respect the rights of individual companies to not carry certain games (BMX XXX anyone?). However, I do think parents and public-media outlets that blame real-life violence on video games should be nuetered and banned, respectively. There are a thousand places anyone, child or not, can be exposed to ultra-violence in just about any form, but whenever something happens, everyone's got to find a scapegoat *cough*redherring*cough*.

Skythe Posted July 29, 2004 Posted July 29, 2004 Well, zombies are dead humans come to life. So red blood it should be.Coagulated too.
OverlordMondo Posted July 30, 2004 Posted July 30, 2004 Well in some themes, the zombies are ressurected using some kind of scientific-breakthrough-gone-wrong. I thought that maybe, their blood was simply replaced with the ooze from TMNT. Though, your explanation makes sense as well. I guess it depends on the setting.
taratata Posted July 30, 2004 Posted July 30, 2004 (edited) It is well-known that the one and only cause of violence is video games. Kill all the videogames developpers and players with the maximum cruelty, and there will be peace forever.WW1 would never have happened if they didn't play stone-paper-scissors EDIT: may I ask you in which country you're in BobRedthorp?

Chaotica Posted July 30, 2004 Posted July 30, 2004 First of all, I loved Manhunt. It had the stealth of Thief with great atmosphere and tension, like a good horror movie. Creeping up behind people and "snuffing them out" never lost its appeal. The gunfights in the game were also fun. Playing the game at night with all the lights switched off was a great experience. The violence was extreme...but was also an integral part of the game, just like violence is an integral part of a Tarantino film. I can understand how alot of people are turned off it, either because of the violence, or because the game is little more than hide + execute or shoot. But if you enjoy those core gameplay elements (like me) then Manhunt is a very enjoyable game, if you can stomach it. Secondly, this banning is ludicrous, and will only make the game more popular amongst people who shouldn't be playing it. The ratings are there, and they should be used. "Mature" games are big business now...you aren't going to stop them by banning them. Parents should use the ratings to make the decision whether to purchase or not, not turn a blind eye. Games aren't just for little kids anymore, why can't the public (and parents, and critics and censors) realise that? Oh yeah, the game has also been banned in New Zealand, too.
Wizard Posted July 30, 2004 Posted July 30, 2004 I like it because they can hear you breath if you use a USB mic. Damn great imo.
random guy Posted July 30, 2004 Posted July 30, 2004 In Australia there is no rating for r18+ rated games. That means anything higher than an ma15+ can't be released in Australia
Madi Posted July 30, 2004 Posted July 30, 2004 I like it because they can hear you breath if you use a USB mic. Damn great imo.i have manhunt , it got kinda hard for me , i love using the xbox mic , its fun to cuss btw:k' did u get a xbox?
BobRedthorp Posted July 30, 2004 Author Posted July 30, 2004 (edited) EDIT: may I ask you in which country you're in BobRedthorp?I live in the UK, the game has not actually fully banned, the story is that the parents of the boy who was killed last week blamed the game for it, as it was quite a horrific murder etc, now because the parents said this, certain stores such as common electrical stores like Dixons and Curys and a well known game store called Game decided to stop selling it yesterday however, stores such as HMV, Virgin and other indipentent stores do continue to sell it. I think this happend once before with a different game here but I'm not too sure what it was, but I'm sure after the dust settles about this story I bet the start selling the game again. EDIT: And another weird thing about blood in games, I don't know, but I would find it more disturbing in real life if you started to spew green blood instead of red????
