I have no doubt they could get away with a little blood in this game and still pull off a Teen rating, but if they do there's not going to be much of it, I can assure you.

A lot of these are silly, like Metroid Prime 2...Blood? More like alien glop... <_< (So the ESRB categorizes "goo" into the blood category)

Also take into account how realistic the blood is portrayed...A game like Zelda will obviously take a greater risk if it includes blood...

(And funny how when PC games are excluded I only get 173...)

norebonomis · « **Reply #404 on:** February 01, 2005, 02:43:47 PM »

how much of the realism do you think is sacrificed when the blood is removed? not that zelda should be realistic, the art style is definetly more realistic than windwaker but i can hardly call faeries and monsters and magical triforce's real. the esrb needs to eat some green chu jelly.

Considering Zelda is a fantasy series, not much...In fact, I think it takes away from the mystique...

Why did you include PC??? We aren't talking about PC games, and plus PCs are an ever evolving platform unlike consoles. There are no generations as so many products are manufactured at the same time and overlap. With the 173 of only Cube, Xbox, and PS2 titles, even then it is questionable.

Shooting at creatures and seeing green goo doesn't count as blood in my book.

I have yet to encounter any blood in the game.

Kameo: Elements of Power Microsoft Xbox Teen (13+) Animated Blood,Violence

The game isn't even done yet, so the rating isn't official.

I'd wager you could split the list in about half by taking games like the thress above out of the list.

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #407 on:** February 01, 2005, 03:11:34 PM »

Well whether or not blood makes a mature rating, it's kind of a moot point. This game will be teen either way. If it has blood, it'll be enough to stay at a Teen rating. If it doesn't have blood, it'll still probably be at a Teen rating.

Expect a Teen rating, folks.

how many times have i seen this post loose activy after hostile creation has a post. what is up wit dat yo?

You insinuatin' something about me? Huh?!

This time I figger it's at least partially a result of the fact that I suggested the argument should end, which was the only topic being discussed at the moment.

exactly. you seem to bring arguments to an end often. not fair. it's much for fun reading people argue moot points.

if zelda GCN releases near end of 2005, and no idea when Mario 128 is supposed to be released, how much time is left between the release of Revolution and those games? less than a year, half a year?

how much I would love to see zelda and mario as soon as possible, why release them on GCN still when it could really help establish revolution???

BTW, this is an attempt to freshen up the conversation/discussion

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #415 on:** February 02, 2005, 07:56:17 AM »

As I said, it's because the Rev versions of Mario and Zelda will take advantage of the Rev's special capabilities...And the fact that the Rev will be backwards-compatible (nearly 100% likely) should only further boost sales once the Rev is released...

My guess for the Rev release is late 2006, perhaps September or November...

Wasn't Timesplitters 2 rated Teen? And I haven't played it in a while, but I thought there was blood involved. I could be wrong.

I'd like to think that the reason the Cube is getting Super Mairo 128 and the new Zelda instead of the Revolution is because Nintendo wants to be nice to those of us who bought a Cube and stuck with it, even as third parties left and promises have been broken. We've been loyal so we deserve some kick ass games to end the console with. The N64 didn't have that. Nintendo just abruptly killed it one day and us fans had to wait for the Cube or get a PS2 for our fix. Aside from that being crappy for the fans it's bad business. The Gamecube had to struggle more because the transition from the N64 wasn't seamless. Nintendo probably knows this and thus wants to end the Cube with a bang to renew interest in Nintendo and thus the Revolution.

The only concern really is if doing so is going to weaken the Revolution launch. But then we don't even know if there's going to be a new Mario for launch. They might have something different cooking up that could act as a killer app on its own. For now let's just be happy that the console we already own is getting a new Zelda game and likely a new Mario.

haha, YAY ZELDA. after reading that i didn't even want to think of revolution. lets hope june 1st isn't a rumor.

Gamefreak · « **Reply #419 on:** February 03, 2005, 03:29:38 PM »

It's just a rumor.

norebonomis · « **Reply #420 on:** February 03, 2005, 04:38:39 PM »

i'm changing my prediction to add a variable. it seems that the big three are setting the stage for this round of 'console wars' and will be taking the world by storm possibly by the end of this year. (my prediction is that we won't know the zelda2k5 release date until we know when revoulution will come to retail markets) i think that nintendo would know better than to release zelda2k5 and revolution next to eachother. so scenario(s)

Revolution Launches Xmas '05 ----> Zelda '05 will be released early/mid summer (june rumor)
Revolution Launches later than Xmas '05 ----> Zelda '05 will be released Xmas '05

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #421 on:** February 03, 2005, 06:43:21 PM »

I'm pretty certain Revolution is intended to be a 2006 release. Someone could check me on that, but it's what I hear.

Gamefreak · « **Reply #422 on:** February 03, 2005, 08:02:28 PM »

Zelda will release late 2005. I promise you Revolution will not release this year.

Dasmos · « **Reply #423 on:** February 03, 2005, 08:09:45 PM »

"Zelda will release late 2005. I promise you Revolution will not release this year. "

Is that another "Revolution leak" or just a hunch........

norebonomis · « **Reply #424 on:** February 03, 2005, 09:01:47 PM »

nintendo has said more than once that they want to release revolution no later than sony. and sony has said the are (aiming) for a 2005 ps2 release...

so take your guesses now because THERE'S ONLY A YEAR LEFT , stfu
