Will the PC game feature all of the stuff that was deemed too mature for consoles? We've put in word to Rockstar for clarification and will update the story when we hear something.

the violence and gore in the manhunt games are nothing compared to condemned 2.

I haven't played Condemned 2, but there is no way it is more violent. Manhunt 2 is all about killing people in the most violent way possible. Decapitating people with a machete as they scream in agony with each strike until there heads come off. You can even do this to police officers in the game.
If any game deserves an AO rating, it's Manhunt 2. Not GTA:SA with the hidden sex mini game that is impossible to even see unless you purposely look for it.
BTW, I have nothing against the violence in Manhunt 2, I'm just pointing it out. It's less violent than Saw & Hostel movies.

You know, I'll play it just due to the AO rating.
I wish all games were AO.

Sorry to hear you were cryogenically frozen in the late 50's. I'd be happy to inform you that nowadays porn is a somewhat accepted category of media.

Of course it won't. But it's bound to stir up a ton of trouble with the mainstream media, which translates into more sales for Rockstar.
Rockstar sure knows how to sell a bad game.

That's not really what happened last time, though.
As I recall, they whined about it for about 2 days a week or two before it came out and then forgot about it.
And then the game flopped anyways.
MORAL! (most) People won't buy a controversial game if it's shit.

My question is, where is everyone's Avatars on here going? Is James Cameron stealing them for his movie or something? I see more white boxes on here every day.

It's AO because you can actually brutally dismember the GFW Logo.

Awesome, I played the original on the PC, and I'm glad the sequel is coming too...I was mildly considering picking up the Wii version, now I'm glad my patience has paid off.

Right, because teenagers suddenly experience a positive morality change between the ages of 17 and 18.

I love Rockstar Games, I even got the GTA IV key to the city mailed to my house (mmm, sweet collectables gaga). However, Manhunt 2 even as a huge fan was somewhat of a letdown. I loved the idea behind it, but overall it felt like it was missing a lot things technically. I probably would still buy the PC version if its the originally intended version because let's face it, the versions we got weren't only technically flawed but the guilty pleasures were censored out leaving almost no reason to play it at all. Now if the PC version is the original vision, it gives some evening out to be looked into at least for me. Most people I know hate the game.

I remember emailing the Joystiq podcast about this..or maybe it was another one..
I said on day one that rockstar should've ported it and released an "uncut" version.
whatever podcast it was said they probably wouldn't because it wouldn't be financially viable. SUCK IT (insert name of podcast here) whichever one it was!

This game wasn't nearly as bad as everyone made/makes it out to be. It's far from great, but I played the uncensored PSP version and it was a decent stealth action game. Gamespot and IGN both rated it at 7.5, and I can agree with that rating.
The PC version is kind of lagging behind, though. This game is almost 2 years old at this point. It's a bit ridiculous to think that it took them 2 years to port it to the PC, so why the wait?

It would still be banned from store shelves though, wouldn't it? Or do the stores treat PC games differently in that regard.
But the problem of retailer shelf-space never really materialized. Neither Nintendo or Sony would license the AO games for their platforms, as i recall (Microsoft won't either, but it wasn't for them)

I'm fairly certain AO games can't be sold in stores. But, then again, digital distribution is a whole different entity. You can pick up an AO version of Fahrenheit on D2D.

It's up to the retailer. AO items can be sold in the US unless there are municipal or state laws regulating it.. there is no federal regulation.
you obviously won't find it in walmart, however.

thanks, but no thanks, rockstar. you can't treat PC users like second class citizens and give us a Playstation 2 game two years too late and expect us to help you make up your lost revenues. Perhaps if you'd have released it BACK THEN with the AO rating, a lot of people who didn't want the neutered PS2 version would've supported you.
Too little, too late.
