In a recent interview with AvPGalaxy, Rebellion Studios' Martin Kennedy and Alex Moore openly spoke their minds regarding last month's Australian ratings fiasco with Aliens vs. Predator before revealing news of an upcoming demo for the game. "People who want the game will get [it] imported, it's not going to hurt us ... if anything it's been a bit of decent publicity," Kennedy said. "We're not going to water down the game for countries that can't treat adults like adults," continued Moore.
Moore even went as far as to compare Australia's ban-happy government (as of late, at least) to past situations with Germany. "Germany's always one of those places that we've known it was going to be difficult because the first one [game] got banned in Germany as well." When pressed on the subject of a demo, however, the duo were more careful in their wording. "There will be a demo ...that's all we can say," Moore confirmed. Considering the game is still on schedule for an "early 2010" release (maybe February?), we're hoping that the demo will be arriving sooner rather than later.

I'll gladly give an AVP demo a go, but it better come before release if they want to convince me of dropping the dough come launch. After Shellshock 2 and Rogue Warrior, I'm a bit iffy on Rebellion and their ability to make anything good, especially a first-person game. They weren't so bad in the past, but Rebellion has really bombed this generation. Give me that demo and let me, and many other gamers, know you're getting serious once again.

Great. If the game developers actually start cooperating with the Australian ratings then it means that there is some merit to their rating system that refuses to acknowledge there are adult gamers.
This way, Australia will probly get 1/2 the games other territories get and then the industry will have a stronger fight

GOOD! I really want some friends to get this game when it comes out so we can play over XBL. Maybe a demo can fully convince them !

it would be kinda fucked up if a studio by the name of rebellion didn't rebel against censorship. way to say fuck you! other developers should take note.

Alien vs Predators without violence is like Amy Whinehouse without drugs, or Harry Potter without magic. I like the fact they won't water a game down because of one country, if people want a non edited version they'll figure it out(Manhunt 2 anyone?)
