GTA IV cut details emerge

360 News | So, what's missing from our version?
One of our readers, Mick, has sent through a summary of what has been cut from the Australian version of Grand Theft Auto IV, in comparison to the UK version. Mick has played through both versions of the game.

According to Mick, when players pick up a prostitute in the Australian version, there is no way to select a 'service' from the prostitute. The sexual intercourse sex animation has also been completely removed, so players will only see the car bounce from a locked rear-view. In the uncut version, after selecting a service from the prostitute, players can rotate the camera to see the prostitute's actions.

Also in the Australian version, no blood pools will appear beneath a dead person after shooting or stabbing them to death. There are blood splatters, but no blood pools. In the uncut version, blood will slowly ooze out from under a body, and it is possible to create bloody footprints by walking through the blood, or bloody tyre tracks from driving through it. Finally, when Niko or other NPCs are injured in the uncut version, light blood patches appear on their bodies which basically represent bruises/bullet wounds.

Mick doesn't make mention of any cutscene changes or any other alterations, so it seems the local censorship really was quite minor.

Thanks to Mick for the tip. It has also come to our attention since publication that bloody footprints and tyre tracks are in the AU version.

You don't have to try. Running over a dead person in the uncut version creates bloody tyre tracks instantly from what I have seen.

Grab a digital camera or use a capture device and post a pic for everyone to see.

I can't freaking believe it, after not even a minute I got bloody tyre tracks in the Aus version.






Here's what I did.I aimed my shotgun at a guy in a car.The guy got out of the car and while he was running away, I shot him in the back of the legs.I then got in his car and ran him over.He bounced off a light post and I noticed the bloody tyre trails.

Long streak of red to the left of the car in the first pic? Looks just like a bloody tire track from my UK version.

Also, I can also say I've seen dismemberment, not in my game but in a live feed I was watching a couple of days before release; Niko's leg came off, like Obs said, unmistakable in the slow-mo. A friend of mine also says he's seen a leg come off Niko in his own game. Unless we're all mistaken, it looks like it is at the very least in the UK version, if not the AUS one too.

Also, MikeZombie777, please do not just post "lol wtf", this does not constitute anything but simple spam.

Yeaaaah that's kinda hard to do with a 150x128 picture. Maybe I'm just tired but are you guys just being stupid or whats the deal here? Seriously if you're using those pics as "proof" you must be pretty desperate, I mean come on you're grabbing at semantics.


AGAIN, there is NO freaken dismemberment. Holy crap. If you don't believe me do some research on a few forums and ask people. There is NO dismemberment, I have the uncut version, I have tried every possible method to dismember someones limbs, it's NOT possible. I have been playing for over 80hrs.

@ Gamesta

Fake. The tyre tracks don't look like that and where is the dead body?

@ mikezilla2

There is no limb loss, sorry. Why do I have to keep repeating myself? Dude I have been playing for over 80HRS since release, stop arguing about it. Believe what you want but you're still wrong.

Why are you guys being childish about it? I don't understand why you think it needs to be such a drama.

This has nothing to do with caring about what's censored.He just keeps on trying to tell us that there is no bloody tyre tracks in the Aus version.

@ gamesta

I'm not saying it to annoy anybody, I'm just sticking to my convictions because it's what I have personally experienced.

I don't know why you guys would lie about something so insignificant, are you just trying to mitigate the censored content? Especially in relation to dismemberment when it's just simply not in any version of the game....Google it.

Well I've been playing for 82 hours.

Well thanks for making me out to be more technologically smarter than I really am.I wouldn't know the first thing about making fake pics.When it comes to comps I know a little more than the basics.

If you freaking want, I'll take a photo of me holding the freaking Aus version.Believe me I WISH I had the un edited version.

Also how is this childish? This is an article on what is edited after all.So by you saying this is childish, then you are saying that people proving the earth is round were also being childish.

People just seem to be getting offended by what I'm saying and all I'm doing is explaining this to the best of my knowledge.

it's weird that I can't get it work yet you claim to have....It makes no sense.
