Bulletstorm to feature a focking swear filter, you cunds photo

If you hadn't guessed from the game's trailers, Bulletstorm is a strictly adults-only affair. However, just because kids are around, that doesn't mean you shouldn't play your M-rated games, and Epic is making it possible with an optional language filter. 

Both the dialog and subtitles can be toned down in the curse department, for the sake of children or the terminally sensitive. So far we don't know if the swears will be bleeped, silenced or Monday-to-Friday re-dubbed entirely. 

Let it be known that even a Catholic schoolgirl can enjoy Bulletstorm now. That shall be a great relief to Nuns everywhere.

blood code?
so its not cool to swear around kids, but killing and face kicking is fine.

Actually I like this option. Swear words don't bother me, but I find it annoying when every second word is "fuck". People also do play these games when kids are around in other rooms... and sound carries, so at least it gives them an option.

im tired of the language banning. err you cant say this or that, and god forbid you say penis near a child.

i like how parents think their babies will be like that forever and forget humans get older and grow up. its like they were never kids themselves.
your kids gonna grow up and learn these words anyway, why not make him smarter than the other kids by teaching him all kinds of words.

I hope it's just silence.

Then I can dub over them with my own words.

Sometimes, censorship can be an amazing catalyst.

In america, jumping out of a window with the guts of a guy you sliced open is good. But show a titty or two and you got angry conservatives with pitch forks knocking at your door. America, fuck yeah...... -.-'

@fetusmilk

Why not make him meaner too, and give him a sword? Yeah, that'll show the other parents what child rearing's about.

I'm not mocking you there. In fact, I'm wholly neutral about your point. I did, however, intend to provide the parents of the future fair warning about what their groin-gladiators will face on the playgrounds of tomorrow.

@Daxelman

I too have plans to dub everything in olde-timey English speak. Modern language? Balderdash, I say.

I love the header.

This option doesn't effect me but it's nice for parents or such that worry about swearing while their kid rips the guts out of their opponent.

The edited version of Snakes On A Plane comes to mind, esp: I'm tired of these monkey-fighting snakes on this Monday-to-Friday plane. Is it too much to ask for voiced options such as that in this game?

Yeah I hate that specifically that is frowned upon, they fucking hate it when you shout penis in Mothercare.

well I think it's an awesome idea. I find the dirty language annoying and distracting from a good game. It seems it's made to appeal to angsty tweens anyway. I can't imagine adults enjoy the cussing. And myself I have kids so... I liked Bayonetta but I will not buy it solely because of the foul mouthed character in the beginning.

I don't think people "enjoy" cussing per se. Just, no one really gives a fuck.

Well, personally, I curse like there's no tomorrow but it's not really because I "enjoy" it. What I enjoy is my speech and it just so happens that the word "fuck" comes along with it.

I really don't care. I would hope that by now we can all recognize that they're just words until someone's being a dick. Saying "cunt" doesn't make you a dick by default. Being a dick makes you a dick.
