DansDans Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 Have we all heard about this? Because of an audio "indiscretion" in the backgroud of one of the tracks - the game is being recalled worldwide. Possibly delayed for another week, possibly longer

hypnotoad8128 Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 Apparently a song includes quotes from the Koran or some such rubbish... So they're recalling it. All a load of crap personally. Today people are so concerned over the littlest things just in case it offends someone. Political correctness gone mad. What a joke!

I was trying not to mention what the indiscretion was as I didnt want to start some kind of hated thread, but I agree with all that you've said Its like me trying to get Silent Hill recalled and modified because of all the religious references that could offend me being a Roman Catholic - it is a joke.
Guest Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 Cant imagine they are recalling all the retail copies, that would cost and absolute fortune! My guess is they are preparing a patch for when the games launches. Some people have already managed to get their hands on the game, which indicates some retailers have already received theirs.
Scramble Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 It is indeed going to cost them a fortune, not to mention it's getting close to the release dates of games like Gear of War 2, Fable 2 and the new Guitar Hero. I guess they had to do what the had to do, unfortunatly they couldn't just patch it because of people without an internet connection. I'll still get it though.

Read on Joystiq at the weekend (linky) that this is in fact the case... there will also be a patch released which ensures anyone who has the original disc & goes online would not be without changes. Concern was for the X% of PS3 users who would have bought the disc and not gone online at all... not sure how many that is Cheers, Doc.
GraveDilute Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 My copy shipped from PlayAsia on Saturday. I guess I'l be one of the few people who play games for the enjoyment of the game and not to find inconsequential errors...

And can you imagine how dreadful it would have been if someone had been offended by it. This is definitely worth inconveniencing everybody else who wants to play the game.

This is definitely worth inconveniencing everybody else who wants to play the game. I know, can you imagine! And to think, I have been listening to what I thought were innocent soundtracks all this time.. who knows what subliminal instructions I have taken on board!

By the sounds of it you will be forced to update the original copy of the game if you are online. Which i sure you will be cause thats the whole purpose of this game.....

I am more curious about which version is being shipped since it hasnt officially been released anywhere yet (even before the delay the release date was 21 Oct for the US) and since Play Asia is notorious for never shipping before the release date, or at least the two biggish games I've bought recently werent shipped until about 5 days after their US release (GTA IV and Silent Hill)
bennobee Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 (edited) I can answer that... I have a copy of it sitting on my desk right now. Its the US version for sure as its made in the US....... I got a few hours till get home and can enjoy it edit... some images (they are a little big so be careful) but will allow you to see that its made in US (supporting the fact that the US one shipped from Playasia).

Wow, did you take those pictures using some secret BAE camera by chance? Huge res Well, I'm gonna order my copy from Play-Asia now. I'll be without internet for the next few weeks so I hope it does'nt need the net to play first time.
