Yeah mostly for movies. I do have a few games here that have BBFC ratings though, Red Faction Amrageddion and Batman: Arkham Asylum are a couple of them.

EDIT: Just found Fallout 3 and New Vegas have BBFC too.

EDIT2: Wait most of my console games have BBFC certifications...

No they won't. Oblivion got the same rating here in the UK despite the availability of advlt mods.

Mods don't affect game ratings. That GTA game's rating changed, because the content was already present in the game even if it had be to hacked to be reached.

Yea this month we have the HD video coming, then Eurogamer Expo on the 22nd. It'll be October right after that and it'll only be a month away. I wonder if we'll get any footage in October? We should be getting the PC specs and Gold announcement before Halloween.

I tend to agree with you, thus my comment.

My comment was in response to a statement made in post # 53 of this thread.

Yea they cant rate a game because of mods people make for it.

Hell, then my little pony would need to be 18+ cause someone could make hardcoe porm and gore mods for it. Doesnt make sense.

I think it's more about ease of access to explicit mods, than the existence of those mods themselves. I'd imagine you'd have to search very hard, and very specifically, for a hardcoe porm (:shakehead:) mod for My Little Pony, whilst nudity mods made for Oblivion are relatively easy to find.

It doesnt matter, its not shipping with the game = they cant take it into the rating board.

Well clearly they can since they already have changed ratings based on modded content.

Afaik isnt that a case of modders unlocking something that was actually on the disc? It was locked before, but it was still shipped with the disc?

I am 100% sure that they cant rate a game based on something non dev's made for the game. Go back to the "My little pony" argument.
Accessibility doesnt have anything to do with it either, some things are hard to find because they are rated the way they are, the fact that a rating makes them hard to get, because shops dont sell em, doesnt make them lower the rating (just an example)

No they can't. Ratings get changed if there's coded content in the retail game that can be altered to put it in a different rating category. Exactly what happened with San Andreas. Going by your statement, Morrowind, Oblivion, Fallout 3, and NV all should be rated AO. Which they're not.

This pleases me.
*tents fingers*......"Excellent!!!"

They don't in the UK, but they do in the US. This was an issue for Oblivion and why it got change from T to M. An article about it quoted the UK ratings board as saying basically they would not hold developers responsible for 3rd party content, as you can't control it. The ESRB seemed to believe differently.
