Hey look! Disappearing bodies! No, this isnât some homage mod to the days of 8-bit fatalities, itâs one of the features put into the Australian Left 4 Dead 2 so it could be approved for sale.
You can see for yourself in that video above. The scorecard, according to the Steam community forums is comprehensive: the Australian version of Left 4 Dead 2 will have no bloodspatter on the screen; there will be no zombie dismemberment; there will be nothing beyond a âsmall splash of bloodâ when you attack an infected â no guts or gore; infected wonât light on fire if they get hit with a molotov, and corpses will disappear from the screen.
But wait, thereâs less! The bullet-proof Riot Cop uncommon infected will not spawn, I guess over cop-killing concerns? âIf someone with an uncut version joins a game with Australians with the cut version, Uncommon Infected will NOT spawn,â says the forums.
Wow. I was thinking melee would be subject to the two-hand touch rule. Good thing they saved that!
Kotaku Australia wrote up the full scoop â with a workaround to defeat the censorship. Although they point out this was tested only on the demo and may not work with the full release.
