List of Regionally Censored Video Games - PlayStation 3

PlayStation 3

Some titles in the PlayStation 3 library have been censored according to the console hardware, resulting in consoles from certain regions directly altering game content, regardless of the region in which the game was produced.

  • Resistance: Fall of Man - Blood was removed from the game when played on Japanese consoles. Players can work around this by using an altered save file or copying save data from a North American console.
  • Uncharted: Drake's Fortune - Blood was removed from the game when played on Japanese consoles. The trophy patch will enable blood on Japanese PlayStation 3 consoles when using the UK/European version of the game.
  • Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe (US) - The Joker and Deathstroke both have a fatality that ends in them pulling up a gun and shooting their opponent in the head. In the US version the camera will move to the side so you can't see the opponent when he gets shot.
  • Siren: Blood Curse (US) - Blood Curse was released only via PlayStation Network, as a downloadable game in the United States. The United States version of this game has been heavily censored to receive "Mature" ESRB rating. Examples include: Extremely violent stabbing scene in the intro, which is omitted in U.S. version, by the way of applying shaky camera motion filters & altering the video angle itself. Scene where Seigo Saiga commits suicide by placing a .338 caliber hunting rifle in his mouth and blowing his head and brains out. Characters & enemies show significantly (in some places completely omitted) lower amount of blood splatter decals on skin, clothes, and face. (This also removes the ability to view realistic cut and slice wounds) Scenes including Bella Monroe and Shibitos have been cut, due to her being a minor, which was deemed inappropriate by the rating board.
