R18+ Games - Public Consultation

[EeLeYe]

I think for games that were banned/edited (L4D, MK9, to name a couple) they will have to go through the classification process again in order to receive the correct rating.

It does not make sense to automatically change to an R18+ rating without this occurring.

Shadow attorney-general George Brandis said it made sense that Australia's classification regime would now be uniform "classifying all media according to a single set of criteria".

So does that mean that games with an X rating will be available in Canberra

About bloody time!! Thats awesome.

f**king finally...

It was announced that games will NOT be re classified that have been banned. SO MK9 and L4D will NOT be being released. Most likely the makers might get sneaky and make a special edition or something to beat the system though.

Edit: steam will work hehehehe

Australia's First R18+ Game Classified

The future is now — Australia is finally set to receive its first R18+ rating, and the upcoming Wii U title Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge is set to be the first one to receive the sticker.

The game has already been released and classified as MA15+ in Australia, but this re-release includes additional content and fixes specifically for the Wii U as well as incorporating DLC released for other platforms.
