Face, meet palm.
I mean, why can't the programmers ever learn to delete unused codes? All it does it take up memory, which could've been used to put in more content and etc..

Yeah, they made the same "mistake" twice.
Riiiight. If you believe that, then I've got a bridge to sell you!

Well, Psaakyrn, it's because it's NOT unused code. Essentially they filter or blur the violence but it still happens. So finding this code and removing the blurs is likely as easy as removing the blur from Sims 2.
In regards to the hot coffee, well, how many lines of code did SA have exactly? I know at our job, when editing or changing code, majority of the time we just comment it out just in case it breaks anything or when we want to ignore certain things for certain projects. And Hot Coffee was writing code which bridged code with some other code.
I mean, I hate to belittle you on this but I'm not even a code monkey at my job and I know this.

a) Sorry, I didn't know that the filtering done is just by filter bars. Given the current hoopla happening, that'd been a bad idea.
b) Given that it's an almost entirely seperate portion of the game, it shouldn't have broken the code. For that matter, if you can comment it out, you can also delete. In fact, if it's commented out, compiling it should automatically delete it, so it wasn't commented out as you proposed.

Deleting code thats still there but unused could create some insane bugs. When programming something as big as a game, everything can break everything.

Jeez.. rockstar appear to have some form of death wish. They had to know that the first thing anyone would try to do would be remove the censoring.

Violence is so much better than sex. I'd rather kill people than make them! Duh!
Physically expressing hate is so much more fun than physically expressing sexua... I mean love.

I believe the word you're looking for is "Lust".

If explicit sex in video games is much worse than explicit sex in film than is gratuitous violence in video games much worse than gratuitous violence in film?
Worst of All:
1. Explicit sex (Video games)
2. Explicit sex (Film)
3. Gratuitous Violence (Video games)
4. Gratuitous Violence (Film)

Oh boy. This is gonna provide plenty of ammunition for Jack Thompson for a while. Bastard will be giddy with joy once (if he hasn't heard already) he hears about this.
As for the ability to uncensor the content, Rockstar either wanted this to happen or was just too lazy to ensure the filter was integrated into the gore animations instead of just "pasted on". This wont be Hot Coffee big, but it'll be enough to give that idiot Jack Thompson more air time.

All this is going to do is generate more sales for the PSP version!
It is win-win for R* and TT.
And lose-lose for JT.

why don't news networks have a video game advocate or expert to refute the stuff jack thompson says? I mean, seriously, where is the voice of video game consumers? The ESA? Are you kidding me? There a bunch of hackey-eyed butt munchers who stop at nothing to make sure they please everyone they can for the sake of...humanity. Gamers need their own Jack Thompson...or Master Chief/Mario/Snake Solid. 'Nuff said.

We've got the ECA (Entertainment Consumers Association)
on our side. And if I recall, Gamepolitics.com had an article explaining that they're getting active against JT and politicians.

Some guy over at project manhunt figured out to mod the PS2 version as well.

Oh, this is probably going to explode. After Hot Coffee, the ESRB added a part where the rating is based on the material from all code on disc (http://www.esrb.org/ratings/enforcement.jsp, about six lines down). Since the uncensored version is still on the disc, they're technically in violation. And since they signed a contract in order to get an ESRB rating, they're probably legally bound to do whatever the ESRB wants.

Unless... the rating is actually based on the uncensored version? When you think about it, it's almost impossible for ERSB to not realise that filter bars only artificially censor stuff..

Well, didn't this game come under the radar when the ESRB first reviewed the game and gave it an AO? I was under the impression that the censored vs uncensored is difference between M and AO.

I hope that someone posts the uncesnsored content on youtube or something. I'm quite curious to see the scenes that upset the ESRB so greatly.

Good news for those desiring to see fake ass human neutering. "The Street Fighter" is SOOO 80's.

I haven't updated my PSP since 3.10 OE-A... What version do you need to play this and most newer games?

people have to actually copy their cd on a computer, edit the code, then burn it to get this to work? what's the problem again? that's crazy that anyone could hold rockstar accountable for that
