| ELSPA chief: BBFC rating system "misses the mark completely" | |
| Posted: 04.09.2008 04:36 by dirigiblebiz | |
In an interview with Strategy Informer, Entertainment and Leisure Software Publishers Association director Michael Rawlinson has criticised the British Board of Film Classification's online game rating system. "As regards a film or linear content BBFC online works," he said. "I have no issues with that at all, but in terms of gaming I don't think it meets the requirements of the consumer at all. I think it misses the mark completely." According to Rawlinson, the BBFC's online rating scheme amounts to little more than a copy-pasting of their existing system. "I can summarise BBFC online as effectively being BBFC offline put online," he said. "In other words they are classifying content and they're using all of their tools, their logos, consumer information, advice and so forth (for) that online content." | |

| Crackdown fans should forget about additional Downloadable Content | |
| Posted: 03.09.2008 06:43 by Jamie | |
Fans of Crackdown have been asking about the possibility of more downloadable content for the game, even going as far as starting petitions in an attempt to convince Realtime Worlds into putting some time aside for it. But Community Relations Manager Chris Dye has stomped on the voice of the community by saying that the company has moved on to its next project, APB. "Unfortunately from a Realtime Worlds perspective there will not be any additional DLC for Crackdown; the company has moved onto our next Project, APB, and is 100% committed to that and other projects yet to be announced, and as such we are not in a position to work on any new Crackdown content." said Dye on the official Crackdown forums. | |
