PEGI unveils new games ratings symbols

Umm… is it me or do they look like the old ratings, except square?

Warning: These comments contain mild peril!

They’re the old PEGI ratings with BBFC colours.

“Warn ing: These comments contain mild peril and heavy sexual undertones!”

Was the ‘online gameplay’ warning box always there? Or is that one new? I don’t remember ever seeing it before.

We’ve been told to include the new logos on all future artwork. So you’ll more than likely start seeing them appearing on packaging come August/September.

Ta.

Can’t they just use the standard PEGI rating symbols, like the ones you see on the advertised box-shots for Sacred 2 on this very webpage?

I’m guessing the revised symbols are part of the ‘deal’.

I feel sorry for all those poor 15 years olds out there been stopped from playing games.

It’s some thing BBFC had over PEGI, the BBFC 18 stands out more than the PEGI ones, this way your more drawn to it and see it more as a warning than a guide.

It would be awesome if PEGI put a game out with “Mild Peril” as a content descriptor. We took a lot of stick for that!

These look quite nice, actually.

Man ratings logos are changed like underwear in Europe. Why can the US keep the same logos for ages but in Europe we have to make a fucking huge deal out of it?

Is there anything we’d really show a 3-7-year-old that we wouldn’t show to a 3-and-under-year-old?
