Fallout 3 de-nuked in Japan

Bethesda removes option to blow up town, omits mention of potentially offensive weapon name.
Bethesda Softworks' localization team has undoubtedly been walking on eggshells with the Japanese release of the critical and commercial hit Fallout 3. Nuclear warfare remains a touchy subject in the island nation, which is the sole country that has been subjected to a nuclear attack. A postapocalyptic role-playing game where players wander irradiated wastelands and can atomize an entire town could be construed as culturally insensitive, to say the least.
Today, Bethesda issued a Japanese announcement saying that Fallout 3 has been tweaked for release in Japan. Translated by GameSpot, the announcement says the ability to destroy Megaton City with a nuclear weapon has been removed in the territory. According to the release, the non-player character Mr. Burke, who urges the character to detonate the bomb, has also been removed.
The game maker noted that it also changed the name of one of the weapons in the game. Presumably this is the "Fat Man" grenade launcher, which is named after the plutonium-based bomb which incinerated the city of Nagasaki on August 9, 1945. The game makes no mention of the first atomic bomb, the uranium-based "Little Boy," which was dropped on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945.
Bethesda also said certain human and ghoul animations have been deleted to conform with the standards of the Japanese game-rating body, Computer Entertainment Rating Organization (CERO). However, the release notes that the majority of animations, including those for insects, monsters, animals, and robots, remain unchanged from the US version, as does the amount of bleeding, number of corpses, and the gore bag.

大意是因为日本是二战中唯一被核弹炸过的国家，Bethesda为了在日本发行Fallout3特别调整了游戏内容，取消了Mr, Burke，也就取消了核平Megaton的任务。同时，Fat Man这个武器名字也将会改名，因为这是扔到Nagasaki的原子弹的名字
很多人都在这条新闻后面回复了，我也跟了一条。。。
Right, now the japanese people really tring hard to "Erase" their teenager's mind on what happened. Just like what they did in their text book(Japan did not "invade" China, and Southern Asia, Japan just had a "WAR" with them. Nanking Massacre is a lie, Japan did not kill 300,000 people there."
I mean, come the fk on! When can Japan face history like other people? At least the Germans are better this way. |
