Gears 2 to have filters..

posted by GearsChrisB

Sat Sep 27, 2008 at 11:45:04 PM EST

Not sure if this has been posted before but it

seems Gears 2 will have filters that you can turn

on to turn the blood off and have it show sparks

instead of blood. Plus you can filter out all

the curse words, to be a more kid friendly game.

Just thought I'd share this with you all,

especially those Gearheads that have kids.

  - yeah (none / 0)
    
    I was mistaken, it was only for blood. I think if I were a parent though I would much rather let my kid see the FAKE blood then to here ACTUAL curse words. Idk, that's just me.

Cool. (none / 0)

The blood/gore thing isn't too bad, but if I'm playing with anyone younger in the near vicinity or just don't want, "Aww shit!" blurted out every other second, this will help.
It was in Gears 1, but I never noticed the filtering out of curse words (at least that well). We'll see how this does.

NXE FTW!

- I'm almost sure (none / 0)
  
  that it didn't filter the cursing, but it did change the blood to sparks.
  
  This is our decision, to live fast and die young. We've got the vision, now let's have some fun.

  - Yeah. (none / 0)
    
    See that's what I thought. The description of if listed as filtering out language too if I remember correctly. But when turned on I didn't notice it doing so.

Instead of sparks, (none / 0)

it should be paintballs, like in Goldeneye on 64.

This is why (none / 0)

every developer needs to take notes from EPIC. They make the smartest decisions that turn a really brutal game into a one that little kids can play without parents freaking out. GTA needs this PRONTO!

No naivety there. Kids WILL play this game. Fortunately, if they're not on my friends list, I won't have to hear them!
WIN.
