March 19, 200619 yr How long's it take for the game ratings (T, M etc) to rate the product? Are final master copies sent to them and usually at what stage of production (say if you decide to change something to meet a rating classification)? Spreading beauty with my katana.
March 19, 200619 yr I'm not sure... But it would be good to find out... "Geez. It's like we lost some sort of bet and ended up saddled with a bunch of terrible new posters on this forum." -Hurlshot
March 19, 200619 yr Not sure if it is the same for games as films, but films are sent to the country's censor prior to release (and after post-production, obviously). Any squabbles between the producers and the baord create delays in the scheduled release in the cinema, at the producers expense (obviously). I well remember how long it took for Total Recall to be screened ... I can still quote the teaser verbatim ... OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
March 20, 200619 yr I know movies have to go to each individual country it's being showed in to be rated. I'm not sure about games though, I'd suspect it's similar because I don't think the UK uses the same rating system...Or do they?
March 20, 200619 yr I think EU countries have their own rating system. This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time.
March 21, 200619 yr I think EU countries have their own rating system. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> for movies, yes... as for game ratings, I don't know what they use... "Geez. It's like we lost some sort of bet and ended up saddled with a bunch of terrible new posters on this forum." -Hurlshot
March 22, 200619 yr The BBFC rate both films and games in the UK. There was an article about it in PC Gamer awhile back.
