Apparently not, because if there won't be blood, there won't be fun.

the blog has spoken

I don't remember writing anything to that effect.

I agree with you Jonny to an extent. I agree that if the style and world of the game would be more complete with blood, then it should be included; ratings be damned. However, that may not be the case with Red Steel 2.

I didn't mean to imply that that is what you were saying.
I was just making an off comment on the topic in general.

Just my way of saying, No Blood? Who Cares?
not to discredit anybodies opinion, just throwin in my 2 cents.
would it be cool to slash someone and watch the blood spray? sure, but does it affect the gameplay in anyway?
if not then whatever.

The RS2 thread has a link to a new trailer for the game showcasing the new style.

After seeing that, I'm understanding where your coming from Jonny. Having at least some sort of visual feedback like blood could benefit the game. Didn't No More Heroes have just money come out of enemies in the PAL version? Even seeing pieces of armor and clothes come of frequently in place of blood could enhance it.

Though I'll reserve a final judgment concerning the impact of sans-blood in the game until I see more video and actually play the game.

I totally expect a business to do what it thinks will generate the most profits, including sacrificing artistic purity and having PR people lie through their teeth about it.  As long as the government stays the hell out of the process, I'm happy.

Rize, the government is already involved in this process, though indirectly.  The Puritanical ESRB is heavily influencing marketing decisions, and publishers are obliged to heed the ratings board because they assume government ratings would be worse.  (That's probably true, but the ESRB and its regulations were designed to make senators happy in the first place.)

Right now, business can generate the most profit by keeping the government not heavily involved. If that means self-regulating and self-rating, so be it.

It's sort of like doing backburning to keep a giant wildfire at bay. Head off the danger and exhaust its fuel ahead of time, so that it can't burn its way to you.

A glooming peace this morning with it brings;
The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head:
Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things;
Some shall be pardon'd, and some punished:
For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Sega and her Mashiro.

I do not think the industry's self-regulation is above reproach simply because there may be a worse alternative.
