Grand Theft Auto 4 changed for Australia

Reports are Rockstar will be submitting modified version of Grand Theft Auto IV to Office of Film and Literature Classification (OFLC). OFLC is an Australian censor board who reviews all films, movies, videos, and games that are going to be launched in Australia. We know that Rockstar and GTA had very capricious relationships in past. OFLC had already pulled down the GTA San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto 3 after it got complaints regarding infamous Hot Coffee mod. Then later both the games were reinstated after certain changes were made to the Grand Theft Auto games.

Now reports about Grand Theft Auto 4 may also be true. GTA 4 will contain many pre-emptive content changes so that the game can easily pass the OFLC benchmark. However, according to GameSpot, Rockstar has not officially commented on this issue. But according to screenplay news is sure that GTA 4 will be highly changed in order to be shipped to Australia. Another reason for modifying GTA 4 according to screenplay blog is that learning from its past Rockstar now wants to achieve highest ratings for its Grand Theft Auto 4 i.e. MA 15+ which is the highest rating given to video games in Austalia. But Grand Theft Auto 4 had already attained MA 15+ rating in December 2007 from Office of Film and Literature Classification

The story above may be going to be a true if we look at the past history of GTA with Australian censor board. However, Grand Theft Auto 4 will be releasing on 29 April, 2008 in Australia. So we have to just wait and watch until the 29 April comes when we will come to know if the news about Grand Theft Auto 4 was really an original or just fake, simple promotional stuff. To just let you know that Grand Theft Auto 4 is the ninth installment in the GTA series of games. GTA 4 is releasing for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on 29 April, 2008 worldwide.

Grand Theft Auto 4 has been under controversies right from the time of its developments. Firstly a case filling by lawyer to prevent the GTA 4 to be introduced to minors. Secondly New York City Official controversy and finally controversy related to release in Australia. Well we can only pray for Grand Theft Auto 4 to get festive release on 29 April and leave a special mark on the hearts and minds of the all.
