EU version of Heavy Rain to be rated R

68
Considering the sex scene was censored from the U.S. version of Fahrenheit it seems likely that the American´s will get a toned down version of Heavy Rain. Sex, full frontal nudity and drug use have been confirmed.
Updates:

1.2 - Lol Rated R?
Was that a hidden attack saying this "game" is nothing more but a interactive movie? lol.

But anyway, Sony made the PS3 region free for a reason! This is one of those sweet reasons lol. Guess I'll be importing...to you know, get the best experience...not for the sex and boobs >_>

If the US version is edited, I'll have to import. Even so, I hope Quantic Dream offers an unedited version to buy online; not a fan of import tax.

I guess that's typical...nudity forbidden but Kratos pulling off the head of someone is ok.....kids are used to that, they see that everyday unlike nudity...internet has nothing of that and kids don't know how to use it LOL

Liberal media probably doesn't care about this stuff as much conservative media, remember the Mass Effect "sex scene" on fox. Either way I hate the bias of both.

Im made up, now i know they wont cut scenes out of the game for being "too adult" or "too violent", it really is a game for "mature people" lol

It's getting a bit tiresome that titles which will have a focus on the reality of life, will inevitably be doomed to never see the light of day.

The difference between media classification is terrible. I mean, take a look at Movies. You can go to a 15 rated Movie [UK] and see full frontal, murder, violence, gore and drug use, and apparently, 15 years old are fine watching it.

Now, you take a game, it's suddenly too much...

too right mate. Even some of the things I see in PG 13s I think, can they really get away with that? Yet as you said when it comes to games its all of a sudden frowned upon. The things you see in films is far worse not to mention the sexually conotated adverstisements you see everywhere these days.

Exactly, one movie has a certain degree of violence to be PG13, but translate that amount of violence seen in the aforementionned movie and the game is mature 17+. the reason behind this must be because you are granted control and interaction of the violence. I'll never understand how underworld3 got away with PG13+ while it's more violent than Underworld2 and it's 16.

You can't compare both industries.

Video games are an immersive experience, where the player has control over what's happening, makes decisions and takes part into the action.

Movies are viewed from a spectator point of view. They don't make decisions, the can't control what's happening. It's less immersive.

That's why video games should be rated with different criteria than movies.

I don't agree with modifications and censorship like what happened with Manhunt 2. I think mature games should be rated for 18+ and enforce the law on to parents who purchase these games for their children.

well hopefully the full version is released in the uk coz i hate games that get cut by people who think its inappropriate but somehow think its okay to have hardcore porn films, extreme violence and heavy drug use in films. there are even films with rape scenes in seriously a game is no different than a film apart from you have input into what happens.
