This part sound cool
"New reports have surfaced about new technology created for the new Metal Gear PS2 game. Hideo Kojima and his team are working on a secret new feature which will somehow determine the type of person that is playing the game. It is supposed to be able to determine the player\'s age, sex, hobbies, etc. Once the game has determined these things it will adjust the level of violence, blood, etc. to match each player. It will not, however, just ask outright. Rather it will go about finding this info out by they way players act and answer certain questions at the beginning of gameplay."
I wonder how Kojima will do it .......Sucka:)

First of all...

DO NOT STEAL TEH BOOKAMAN\'S CATCH PHRASES, SUCKA.

Second...this new technology will be...

Asking the player how old he is at the start of the game. How revolutionary.

Jumpman did you read it?It said the game will not ask you, it will try to figure it out by the way you play the game.

I know, I was joking in my last post. But this part may contridict that statement.

Certain questions like what?

It\'s nothing revolionary. It will probably just be based around skill.

Ok, let me try this.  Sucker.  Oh, wait, hold on.  Suckuh.  Oh man, this is hard.  Sucka.  SUCKA!  Oh yeah, I got it. :)

Well SUCKA, they will probably do something less obvious than asking for your age.  Maybe depending on how many people you kill at the start, that determines your age or something.  That\'s just my oppinion SUCKA. :)

I\'m 17 anyway...so the rating can\'t effect me. I played that demo pretty voilently myself...so I think it\'ll let me play it the gory way. Whatever. I still don\'t know how it will determine everything about me, unless there\'s a hidden laser that shoots out of the PS2 and reads your mind, and gives you cancer...;)

I\'m almost certain I\'ll be dead by then. Of course...they come out with a new console every 5 years so...that\'s not even 40 years...;) :( :crying: I\'m sure I\'ll give up videogames by then...watching my grandkids play...or use their virtual reality machines..:sconf:

This is actually pretty old news... it has been known that Kojima\'s team of guys have been working on something like this since the before even the first trailor of the game was shown at E32000.

I personally think that it\'ll be a waste of time to write such a program.  Just because it\'ll most likely be a series of questions that they ask before the game even starts, in fact that is how it was previously stated by Kojima oh so long ago as to how it would work.  And if it\'s a series of questions that try to determine your age, or level of maturity then that\'ll be easily cracked by just repeated tries in answering the questions or some place on the internet explaining how to do it.

As for it determining your age through the way you play... I don\'t think this will work either.  Just because there are so many different styles of playing that people have.  The possibilities are almost limitless.  Of course it could go for things people do in a similiar manner then I could see how a program like that could half way work, but still not completely.  I mean, there\'s going to be a lot of 25 yr old guys out there pissed off at Konami because the game thought they played like 15 year olds and toned down the blood.  Do you kind of get what I am saying?

Well, I am kind of anxious to see how this program really will work, and how effective and accurate it will be, but for now I am still betting that this program will be a waste of time in the development area of the game.  I think it\'d be better if they just had an adult lock-out password, similiar to what they had in DukeNukem3d.  Just better encrypted of course :D

I think the idea itself is good though......

im dissapointed....
things always suck in amerika..didnt i just mention that in a previous post?

im sure kojima will come up with an intelligent way of finding out what type of player is playing the game...and if he uses questions,  then im sure they wont be vague ones....but just knowing the fact that what i considered to be the most \'serious\' game ever,  is being \'censored\' pisses me off....this aint nintendo...this is konami on the ps2....wtf?????

oh well....i only played the demo once because i didnt wanna ruin the magik of the game by over playing it like i did with the first installment....but f that now...time to abuse the hell out of the guards and slit their throats....just in case they replace the blood with...\'sweat.\'

If you want blood...just find someway to answer the questions with as much disturbed violence as possible...

I\'ll  probably end up with the  completely censored MGS2 experience, and some 10 year old out there will be getting all the gore

its not that i \'want blood\'...but its the whole censorship issue that disturbs me....its pathetic....i could go the whole game shooting people with darts and never have to see blood for all i care...but the fact that it had to be toned down for \'the north amerikan release\'..really gets under my skin....

I read a post at IGN where a mother had took this dudes copy of MGS2 demo and smashed it because she came into the room while he was destroying a guard

he went on to say how he wanted to see how bloody red he could  paint the hallway


This is exactly the kind of thought process that is getting games censored. No parent wants to see their kid  laughing satanically while pumping unlimited shells into a human in an attempt to create as much gore as they possibly can. This would upset any caring parent

Add in all the violence we see in American schools and you can expect to see games get censored more wether its the real cause or not.

Yeah, it is understandable... and I am sure that Konami also doesn\'t want to be under any of that fire that the video game market is getting here in the states.

Given how I like to play games, I probably have the game censored.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm...I wonder, if actually killing all the gaurds in site or what not will activate the censor. Afterall, more "mature" and "older" players would probably use more stealth and strategy instead of blowing everyone up, right? Though, in some cases, (like me. :shy: ) that isn\'t always the case.

this is just another case of people trying to find something to blame there problems on. parents are to lazy to raise there children so they let movies and games raise them. then when the kid goes on a shooting spree they want to blame doom or some other game. does it ever occur to these idiots that maybe games and tv had nothing to do with there childs violent behavior and that maybe there child is just screwed in the head. i\'m grown and the fact i may be forced to play a watered down version of mgs2 just because some 12 year old may be to dumb to tell the diffrence between games and real life makes me .:mad: i just don\'t get people today they never want to blame people for there actions. they always want to blame something or someone else to hear all these spinless liberals talk you would think that there was never a violent crime before videgames. crime was around before video games and it will be around after they are gone.

Lets see, i think i might have a chance at the non-censored experience, why? cause i play real stealthy and don\'t kill as many guards as i could ;) yeah that\'s it... :rolleyes: i think this technology might be flawed. ;)

That sucks. Painting the walls red was half of the fun. Sure it may be a bit violent and parents might not like it, If they dont they shouldnt let thier kids play such games. Or i think that they should have a lower toned version and a hard core version. let the parents decide which one to get.

come on konami, u cant do this.  who cares if some stupit *****es complain, it\'s not like it\'s something new.  It should be about the fans

It would be kinda funny if the demo offered somethin the original didnt.  mgs2 will still be a good game without the blood but it just wont be as realistic or fun torturing guards.

But yeah this does suck...

Post by: Simchoy on August 23, 2001, 12:53:24 PM
Well, it sucks. But at the same time, this has been known since, well, when MGS2 was first announced. Kojima mentioned that, instead of telling the user the age outright (which can change on their own) to control content, the game will determine the age of the player through its action. I don\'t know why its big news now, but it is.
