Cage: “We need to fight a little bit” for Austrailan Heavy Rain release
Quantic Dream head David Cage has revealed that the studio will “need to fight a little bit” for the Austrailan release of Heavy Rain.
Speaking at the Eurogamer Expo in his Q&A session in London on Saturday, Cage said:
“For Australia, at the moment as far as I know, they take the game as it is. So I don’t know, but I think we need to fight a little bit for that and evangelise.
“We haven’t had this discussion yet. We have to make some cuts for certain territories, honestly they’ve been – so far – quite minor cuts. So there is nothing where I felt like, ‘oh my entire experience has totally changed because I had to make those changes.”
The game is out next year for the PS3.

OR get quite a few other developers on side and play hard ball with them and refuse to ship (any of the games that are under the same problem) games to australia until they get there fucking act together.

I honestly doubt that’d phase the Aussie government. If people can’t get x game they’ll just spend their cash on y game instead, the devs/publishers lose out on profit by not catering to Australia to the ones that do, the Aussie government doesn’t lose out on anything.

Well doesn’t the Aussie gov get taxes off goods so in a sense if all publishers were to “strike” It would effect the government because those percentage of gamers would just import putting their hard earned cash into another countries pocket.

It would take a massive percentage of high level publishers to boycott Australia to have any effect. As I said before, gamers will spend their cash on games they can get rather than ones they can’t.
Import is a possibility, but unlikely to attract a large number of Aussie gamers due to the high costs of import to Australia and the reasonably high chances customs & duties will find it anyway and impound it as contraband. Aussies pay over the odds as it is.
In all likelihood they’ll all just buy 360′s and PCs and pirate the shit out of games they can’t buy legally and spend their cash on legal stuff.
