Gears of War 2 To Get Gore Filter, Swear Filter, and Unicorn Lancers
by John Kershaw on August 5, 2008 at 6:53 am
Sadly, the above is not a new screen shot. It is but a fanciful idea I had. I’m sorry, Gears 2 doesn’t come with Unicorn Lancers, but the filters are real. It’s looking like Gears 2 will follow in first Gear’s footsteps and implement a filter for both violence and language.
Even though the game already has an ‘M’ rating, which I always interpreted as “mature” as opposed to “3 and up”, I guess some whiny brats may pester mummy for an early Christmas present, and we can’t have little Timmy hearing the f-bomb now can we?
Ok, I’m being a little pedantic. There are a number of reasons why you may want this filter in place, if you’re playing in front of relatives, if you want the performance gain from less blood, or if you don’t like it when your entire screen gets covered in red ooze.
Whatever your preference, come November 7th, at least Timmy will be safe.
As an aside, if like me, you think the idea of a weekly “Unicorns of Mass Destruction” column, in which I photo-shop unicorns in place of famous videogame weapons is a good idea, please do let me know.

Awww, no Unicorn lancers? :(

A Unicorns of Mass Destruction weekly sounds great, as long as Sony won’t sue you for storing UMD’s in Iraq.
