Sony: Heavy Rain Won’t See U.S. Censorship
When the final U.S. box art for Heavy Rain arrived yesterday, not everyone was as pleased as I at the inclusion of its dripping wet protagonist.
That got me to thinking: what else might change in the U.S. release? Might we see a repeat of Indigo Prophecy? Might stateside gamers have to live down the irony of a game whose cover was sexier than its content?
According to Sony, the answer is a resounding no; and believe it or not, that goes for the box art as well.
“For those of you who have asked, the content is exactly the same as what’s being released in all our territories, so you’ll get to enjoy it exactly as Quantic Dream intended,” confirmed the official PlayStation.Blog.
A representative from Sony’s marketing department added that, “for those who prefer the UK artwork,” a pre-formatted PDF will be available for print out soon after release.
Sony says that upon its February 26th release, Heavy Rain will be rated Mature for Blood, Intense Violence, Nudity, Sexual Content, Strong Language and Use of Drugs.
