Australia's usually really strict when it comes to violence in video games, but the Silent Hill series isn't really known for intense gore. Though, the trailer looked a bit like it was going to be a bit body horror-focused (I got lots of Junji Ito vibes from it), so maybe SH:F will actually be a bit bloodier than other SH games.

Considering all the warnings Konami has put on the game it's no surprise Australia probably pissed their pants when they saw that.

I really like Silent Hill, but that is just the stupidest name for a game.

So, the land where everything is trying to kill you is very anti violence?

Australia is pretty censorship heavy is it not? They banned Cannibal Corpse until 2006. I mean no disrespect to any Aussie's reading this.

Each country is allowed a certain number of base violence stat points. Australia put all of theirs into nature.

Japanese schoolgirls is a big NO-NO in Australia
Jokes aside, this is the first time I hear about this game, watching trailer I immediately thought about "When They Cry", and then I read this from article: "Silent Hill f is being developed by Neobards Entertainment (which has previously served as a support studio for Capcom's Resident Evil games), with creature and character design by Kera, and a script by When They Cry writer Ryukishi07." So now I'm hyped! -

I don’t think so, it’s the name of the town where it takes place. I’d argue that it’s no better or worse than resident evil, stardew valley, or world of Warcraft.

It’s the name of a fictitious town in Maine, where things are deeply wrong. People who are subjected to the town end up accounting for their worst impulses via physical manifestations of terrible things. Interestingly enough, most of the time it’s incredibly bright in Silent Hill, easy to see the individually-exclusive monsters coming… were it not for the overwhelming fog with a character of its own.

Didn't even know this existed lol, crazy how decentralised the game industry has become now that e3 is gone. There's no official "time to announce your games" part of the year anymore.

If PEGI tried this kind of thing I'm pretty sure the general public would linch them. Fortunately with Steam there can be completely ignored these days anyway.

That explains Canada.
They put all of theirs into a random goose.

They're probably referring to "f", not "Silent Hill"

Wait is that not a typo

Hotline Miami 2, South Park: The Stick of Truth, and Saints Row 4 are among dozens of games to have been denied an Australian release [...]
This is only partially true, Saints Row 4 and The Stick of Truth released modified versions in Australia. Hotline Miami 2 remains without and official release in Australia.

Probably because it's Australia and their government are incredibly stupid shitheads when it comes to violence in games.
