Over a year since it was first released, a revised edition of Heavy Rain is being cobbled together in Europe that reduces some of the gameâs content in order to get it a less adult rating.
Heavy Rain came out in February 2010, and at the time its European rating was PEGI 18 (adults only), which it earned due to content that included âextreme violence, violence towards defenceless people, sexual violence and strong language.â
This new version, with the saucy name Heavy Rain Edition ModifiĂ©e, is only for the French market. While youâd think this would mean scenes of sexual violence were replaced by scenes of Ethan padding barefoot around a Parisian apartment, paintbrush in one hand and half-empty glass of red wine in the other, thatâs sadly not the case.
Instead, this new, toned down version is rated PEGI 16 (for those aged 16 and over), and includes ârealistic looking violence, nudity of a sexual nature, and strong languageâ.
Funny that neither of them mention âaccidental nudity caused by bugsâ.
