Take-Two Suspends Release Of Manhunt 2


Recommended Posts

You know what Take 2 should do?

They should water the game down, re-submit it to the rating companies, get the appropriate rating, put the original AO content back on all of the final release discs, and blow the minds of all the parents and lawyers against them.

OH YEAH! (Y)

Ah well, I guess since I can't rip of a pair of testicles with a pair of pliers in a game, since I've been dying to try it, I may as well actually go do it. There, how's that for a change? Instead of playing violent games making us violent, the fact that people who don't even _play_ video games telling me what I can and can't play makes me violent. I'm 28, I pay taxes, do my part for society. I'm old enough to vote, shouldn't that mean that I'm entitled to make me own choices?

it should, in an ideal world. in this one, i'd hope there would be less interference when it comes to entertainment, especially virtual one. can't help but think the determination that MH2 is in appropriate ties in with a mentality very restrictive in its allowance for fun.

I agree. We should all go and really rip off someone's testicles with a pair of pliers in real life to protest this. That will teach them a lesson. Who's with me!?!?!?

obviously my ex-wife!

Well just think about it. If there was a sudden surge in testicle rippings with pliers, they would be forced to release the game in hopes that it would satisfy people's urges. I mean, I'm sure there would be at least a 50% reduction in real life testicle rippings. So really this game is a public service.

yeah!!! let's rip off America's next president testicles to show them a lesson!... :devil:

hmmmm... :huh:

... :blink:

ohhh blast! :wacko:

Hillary doesn't have testicles! oh well, never mind... :laugh: :rofl: :p

Hollywood and the gaming industry release heaps of overly violent trash all the time, so I can't imagine what the content of this game must be like. Seems like this company really likes to push out crap that appeals to the worst in all of us. Maybe this time they've gone too far and have made a costly mistake.

You want to teach children to not be aggressors then that's the duty of the parent. There has to be a system in which adults can buy such media. I'm sure this will change but seriously I think Sony and Nintendo payed too close attention to their rep. They weren't fair enough to Take-2 at all.

Some parents these days hardly care for their children by means of teaching them morality, respect, and patients. Parents are too dependent on the world to teach their children when they should take part in guiding them in necessary phases.

On a side note: Adult Games with allot of nudity wouldn't be such a bad idea with a bad ass story line :yes:

windam is right, of course. anything can be viewed and enjoyed by the right people and we can't give in to this culture of fear and moral panic as showcased by discrimination against certain types of works. also encouraging a nanny state where everyone BUT the parents take care of children will work against us, big time.

    • I found that stability back then was really down to the motherboard manufacturer. Back then i stuck with Microstar motherboards and VIA chipsets as they were ultra reliable. Most stuff was done with jumpers and left little room for user created problems 👍
    • Yes, Scoop was created to promote Coreutils for Windows. You can still see early versions of their website on the Web Archive. It was a joke that nobody took seriously. Microsoft's implementation of Coreutils, however, are built in Rust.
    • Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Over a year ago, EA surprise announced that a team of former Firaxis members is working on a brand-new Star Wars game. Dubbed Zero Company, the title would have XCOM-like turn-based tactics gameplay as players manage a squad of professionals from all over the galaxy. Now, just ahead of an official announcement, it looks like the release date has leaked out. The upcoming Summer Game Fest presentation on Friday is when EA is supposed to show off the title's gameplay footage, with fans also expecting it to reveal a release date. However, the ever-reliable billbil-kun from Dealabs says they have already managed to find out when the game is coming out and what versions fans will have the option of purchasing. Per the leak, Star Wars Zero Company has an August 27, 2026, release date attached to it. The title is slated to release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 standard and $59.99 Deluxe edition. The leaker also adds that there won't be any early access perk attached to this special edition. Pre-orders could kick off alongside the official announcement this Friday, too. For those unfamiliar with the title, Bit Reactor is developing Star Wars Zero Company with help from Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. The EA-published title is said to be set during the "twilight of the Clone Wars." We will have to wait and see if base building and management mechanics from the XCOM series will be present here, too. "You will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer who leads Zero Company — an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy," reads the game description. "Hawks and Zero Company are recruited for an operation that pits them against an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked. To succeed, Hawks will lead a team of uneasy allies who must set aside their differences to overcome nearly impossible odds." You can catch the Star Wars Zero Company extended gameplay reveal at the Summer Game Fest showcase that's kicking off on Friday at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET.
    • All their other games always had a new cast and new story, so that's not very surprising. The new dev is worrisome though.
