Atreides Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 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.

Deadly_Nightshade Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 I'm not sure... But it would be good to find out... "Geez.

metadigital Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 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 ...

Krookie Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirottu Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 I think EU countries have their own rating system. This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadly_Nightshade Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 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...

Illunder Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 The BBFC rate both films and games in the UK. There was an article about it in PC Gamer awhile back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
