Anthem ESRB/PEGI age rating Jan 7, 2019 13:20:10 GMT

Was the ESRB certification on the Nvidia CES2019 trailer an indication of Anthem's game certification?

The game is yet to be formally certified by ESRB or PEGI.

www.esrb.org/
pegi.info/

The short Nvidia trailer didn't have any drinking or smoking, so was that just a placeholder? Does it mean Fort Tarsis has a bar? Looks like Exo-sex is ruled out.

Probably reading too much into it, but what does a "Teen" certified game mean for players when BioWare's usual territory is 'mature'?

Just because there is drinking and smoking doesn't mean the player partakes in it, for it could be NPCs and cutscenes where other people are doing that. Think of the Illusive Man in ME2 and ME3, that would have gotten the smoking tag even if Shepard didn't do it.

There is one big component missing from the usual territory for BioWare as well and that is the relationships and with the ESRB sexual content is far worse then killing hundreds of people.

I thought as much. They're trying to capture as much of the player population as possible.

Not sure though whether it is the full game's rating.

Quick, call Fox News. I'm sure they can manufacture another controversy.

You know that is probably the first case of review bombing I heard of when the internet and went to Amazon to review the book from one of them with "We never read it, but heard it was horrible".

I think it boils down to no f bombs, not many s bombs not many a bombs, no drug use, and no nudity.

It also means a toned down enemy dismemberment; I saw a few Scar heads popping off but no blood and the usual disintegrating enemy bodies.

Nah there is a clause about MP interaction not being rated by the ESRB so all the steamy VOIP stuff isn't part of the ratings. I would suggest keeping all that in private chat channels though!

Maybe but there's already been so much proof ratings ultimately don't effect a games sales in an impactful way, if someone's going to get the game, then they're going to get the game be it 12 years old or 50 years old.

LOL ... adults only rating is not a smart move for any game that wants to be sold in stores. Even digital storefronts .
