Heavy Rain Gets Censored

PEGI have rated ‘Heavy Rain Edition Modifiée’, a revised version of the Quantic Dreams title.

The rating has dropped from an 18 to a 16 and ‘Extreme violence, violence towards defenceless people and sexual violence ‘ has been replaced with ‘Realistic looking violence, nudity of a sexual nature and strong language’

PEGI are listing a release date of 3rd August but the title does not appear to be available in any stores.

Quite why Quantic Dreams have spent time and money creating a new version is baffling. Surely everyone who wanted Heavy Rain has it by now and let’s face it, a sixteen year old can easily buy an 18 rated game.
