Drusas, do games w Silent Hill f has been banned in Australia, and no one knows why

I really like Silent Hill, but that is just the stupidest name for a game.

neon_nova,

I don’t think so, it’s the name of the town where it takes place. I’d argue that it’s no better or worse than resident evil, stardew valley, or world of Warcraft.

Drusas,

It's the "f" that makes it stupid.

tanisnikana,

It’s the name of a fictitious town in Maine, where things are deeply wrong. People who are subjected to the town end up accounting for their worst impulses via physical manifestations of terrible things. Interestingly enough, most of the time it’s incredibly bright in Silent Hill, easy to see the individually-exclusive monsters coming… were it not for the overwhelming fog with a character of its own.

They're probably referring to "f", not "Silent Hill"

Wait is that not a typo

Elevator7009sAlt,

At least according to Wikipedia, the “f” at the end is indeed part of the intended game name.

They updated the article. Good.

It’s just waiting for clarification.

Japanese schoolgirls is a big NO-NO in Australia 😅 Jokes aside, this is the first time I hear about this game, watching trailer I immediately thought about “When They Cry”, and then I read this from article: “Silent Hill f is being developed by Neobards Entertainment (which has previously served as a support studio for Capcom’s Resident Evil games), with creature and character design by Kera, and a script by When They Cry writer Ryukishi07.” So now I’m hyped!

eronth,

Oh wow I rarely find people who know about When They Cry. Now I’m interested in seeing more about the game.

They banned Rim World for a little bit as well, although not banned for now as there was some pushback. Be interesting to see if this games gets the same treatment after awhile.

phlegmy,

They probably thought it was a game about eating ass

Lesrid,

RimjobWorld is a lewd framework for mods for that game, if you didn’t know

Didn’t even know this existed lol, crazy how decentralised the game industry has become now that e3 is gone. There’s no official “time to announce your games” part of the year anymore.

GunValkyrie,

It was bundled in the announcement of all the silent hill games coming. Which was mostly overshadowed by the SH2 remake.

Good luck banning torrents you crotchety old fuckers.

disgrunty,

Don’t forget to use a VPN so you don’t get traced by copyright lawyers! They often seed torrents in the name of gathering IPs to take action against.

That doesn’t really work in Australia.

AFAIK Dallas Buyers Club was the last major case and the conditions the courts placed on any contact caused the rights holders to decide it wasn’t worth the bother. www.bbc.com/news/business-35547045

The court told them they could buy the infringer’s contact details as a bulk lot that averaged $127 per person. But only if they invoiced for $127 + whatever they were charging for the film. In addition the court would need to review and approve any draft correspondence and call scripts.

All up it feels like the court was taking the most hostile interpretation of the law to protect individuals from being harassed by the business. Good stuff.

Probably because it’s Australia and their government are incredibly stupid shitheads when it comes to violence in games.

If PEGI tried this kind of thing I’m pretty sure the general public would linch them. Fortunately with Steam there can be completely ignored these days anyway.

Silent Hill Fortissimo?

They're pretty strict about depictions of violence against minors, right?

man fantasy is such a magical thing, thanks for reminding me

Is the mod the NPC companion “”“”““only””“”"? I would love a Terry Pratchett’s side quest, but I’m not sure I would replay oblivion only for this.

Maybe after rereading snuff…

Tarqon,

There’s rumors of a remaster, that might be a good opportunity.

A truly beautiful collaboration. I’m so glad they were able to work with him in his final years, and that they could all help one another in such a meaningful way.
