  • Grand Theft Auto IV is an action-adventure video game developed by Rockstar North and published by Rockstar Games. Upon its release in 2008 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, the game generated controversy for its depiction of violence, occasionally being referred to as a "murder simulator". The ability to drive under the influence of alcohol in the game also received criticism, resulting in a request for the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) to change the game's rating. Similarly, some gameplay features were censored for the Australian and New Zealand versions of the game, though these were subsequently restored. Several crimes committed following the game's release, such as murder and sexual violence, were attributed to the perpetrators' experience with the game, generating further controversy. Former attorney Jack Thompson, known for his campaigns against the Grand Theft Auto series, heavily criticised Grand Theft Auto IV prior to its release, filing lawsuits against Rockstar's parent company Take-Two Interactive and threatening to ban distribution if some gameplay features were not removed. The game also generated further controversy and lawsuits from city officials and organisations. (en)
  • 《俠盜獵車手IV》是一款由Rockstar North开发,Rockstar Games发行的開放世界动作冒险游戏。2008年4月29日PlayStation 3和Xbox 360版本发布后,游戏引发了争议。记者和政府官员纷纷评论游戏中的暴力描写,游戏有时更被称为“谋杀模拟器”。游戏中的醉酒驾驶情节也受到批评,导致有组织要求ESRB改变游戏评级。同样,一些游戏特性在澳大利亚和新西兰版本中遭到审查,不过这些删剪内容随后被恢复。游戏发布后发生的几次如谋杀和性暴力的犯罪活动都被归因于犯罪者的游戏体验,这引起了进一步的争议。以反对此系列游戏而知名的前律师杰克·汤普森在《侠盗猎车手IV》发布前痛批游戏,并向其母公司Take-Two Interactive提起诉讼,还威胁到如果某些游戏功能没有被移除,他会禁售游戏。游戏还引发了市政府官员与机构的进一步的争议与诉讼。 (zh)

  • There is nothing in the game you would not see in a TV show, or a movie a hundred times over, so I don't understand what the conversation is about. We set out to make games that felt like they could culturally exist alongside the movies we were watching and the books we were reading, and hopefully we're getting close to those goals. (en)
