Originally Microsoft had called the remade game, Conker: Live & Uncut, but wisely changed the name because this is not in any way an uncensored version of Bad Fur Day. In fact, the N64 version actually had some un-bleeped swearing. Sure, the F-bomb was always censored, but every now and then a s--- would get through, which made things even funnier. Here, Microsoft has upped the bleeps as almost nothing makes it through safely, not ever "twat," which I didn't even know was considered a curse word by even the most modest of people.
LOL!
Oh and, there's other stuff in the IGN preview.
Conker's like... the most graphically-impressive Xbox game IGN has ever seen... and like... Rare spent all of their time on the graphics and the Xbox Live online multiplayer. Stuff like that.

I guess Microsoft likes necrophilica or something because a corpse of a company is all they got.

Am I the only one who doesn't like the direction Rare took Conker? I miss the squirrel from Diddy Kong Racing.

No. I feel the same way. What happened to my favorite Banjo-making company?

QuoteIt means the same thing here in America.

Bill: You realize that "twat" is another word for female genitalia (at least in Britain, where Rare is located) and therefore the censorship is applicable?

cigarettes too. because smoking was seen as a woman's hobby, so when men took it up as well, some considered them to be womanly, so there is one way where f***** became a "modified" meaning for homosexual.

Love the example they use.

As for the way Conker's Bad Fur Day turned out, I was freaked out by the idea when I first heard it way back when, but in the end I really liked it. I thought the final product was superior because it didn't just turn out to be yet another cute platformer for all ages...which the N64 already had in spades. It was something more unique.
Edit: Got rid of the I LOVE HALO 2s.

On a related note, is it possible that Rare has gone a little bit TOO overboard with the hair tech at their disposal? I mean, Conker just looks freakin' ugly to me now.

i.e. You burn the bundle of sticks in a fireplace, you burn cigarettes, and the like.

As for Conker...oh sweet irony. This is almost as bad as the Lego Star Wars game for the PS2, just on the other side of the spectrum.

One of Rare's greatest assets is their British sensibility, and I'd hate for them to have that neutered.
