Manhunt 2 uncut PAL Release....But only in Holland
Simon | 11:20 AM on 08.30.2007 17 comments


It seems like Manhunt 2 will get it's full uncut release in europe, but only in Holland, which of course means that those of us which live in europe can import it with little trouble and then just play it, but those of you that aren't (most of you) it seems will have a harder time playing the uncut version.

Also in the article :

In a letter to Parliament, Justice Minister Ernst Hirsch Ballin said:

‘The current law is based on the principle that every adult is considered capable of deciding for himself which games he wants to play, unless it contains illegal material.’

Sounds like good news to me

So how hard would it be for a US citizen to import this? I wonder if Rockstar will have multiple languages on each disc

Man, this game has been hyped up so much it's going to suck hardcore. Like, it has no choice but to let everyone down.

Does Holland use NTSC or PAL?

Holland uses PAL like the rest of Europe. I'll have me some uncut Manhunt 2 to test on 15 year old kids!

Dammit, I'm taking classes in video/audio production and still don't know shit about televisions. How would PAL effect american HDTVs/monitors?

Would you still need some kind of converter?

Pal is mostly always encoded to all the european languages for each country they plan to release it, unless there is too much dialogue to fit every language on the one disc. (I think)

From what I understand, PAL and NTSC are just 2 different standards for sending A/V signals to your output device. So if your NTSC TV is recieving a PAL signal, it won't 'understand' the signal, and thus, will not be able to properly render the image to the screen.

*This may or may not be accurate information, this is my understanding but I haven't really done any research into it, and no I don't know if you can damage your TV by trying to display the wrong type of signal.

I just did a quick search, and you can get a piece of hardware to convert the signal for you. Of course by the time you imoprt the game and buy a converter, you've probably paid a pretty penny for the game.

Is there a region lockout on the PS3?

Sorry for all the posts, but would you also need a PAL PS3?
I think I'm giving up on my plan lol

PAL PAL NTSC BLA!
If you live in the US, you need NTSC.
If you live in Europe, you need PAL. And most stuff works on all PAL tv's while some NTSC tv's don't like PAL. The end :)

Holland has PAL and English, we never have localized audio unless it's some Disney/EA multiplatform kiddie game. We also use subs in our movies, so there's not much dubbing like in France or Germany in the media here.

You can change the region coding on the Wii game once it has been ripped, and then play it on your modded Wii. But that's only legal in Australia eh? ;)
