No More Gore for No More Heroes in Europe
No More Gore for No More Heroes in Europe
Rising Star Games plumps for cleaner, cheerier version of Suda 51's forthcoming slash-'em'up.
UK, December 10, 2007 - Following the suspicious appearance of goreless No More Heroes code as Suda 51's forthcoming Wii action title does the European preview rounds, Rising Star Games has confirmed that we'll be getting the 'censored' Japanese version of the game in this territory when it releases early next year.
While our US cousins will be treated to the full, unexpurgated bloodfest courtesy of Ubisoft, No More Heroes's ludicrously over-the-top blood fountains and stylised dismemberment will be no more in Europe, instead replaced by a combination of bodily-robustness and non-biologically-specific black splatters.
We contacted Rising Star Games for an explanation and received this from the company's managing director Martin Defries: "We're publishing the same version of No More Heroes that has been successfully received in Japan. Ultimately, it's a fantastic game to play and that's all we care about at Rising Games". Question is, is that all you care about, dear reader?
You might remember, way back, Suda 51 revealing to IGN, "I'll also try my best to make No More Heroes as violent, or even more violent than Manhunt 2!" Sound like Rising Star Games got cold feet following Rockstar's much-publicised tussle with the BBFC? Let us know what you think in the comments below.
Personal Note: I sense a mass mod-chipping.
