This explanation tallies with a report by, which looked into the issue. "The gore and violence ratings are subject to local regulatory boards in various countries, so the game must be slightly changed in order to accommodate those choices," EvangM said in an email sent to Ramify, republished on the PlayStation forum. Then, last week, Naughty Dog's "EvangM" confirmed the EU/UK version had been censored, but the North and South American versions had not. Shortly after the game released, "Ramify" posted on Naughty Dog's forum to highlight the issue, linking to a number of videos and GIFs that show the discrepancy. Human opponents can be dismembered in single-player using the nail bomb, for example. Our tests with the European version failed to turn up any differences between the single-player in the European version and the US version. In our version, there's no dismemberment.
Similarly, in the US version, when you blow someone up with the nail bomb their limbs explode. The execution with the "Shorty", a sawed-off shotgun, blows your opponent's head clean off in the US version. The European version's multiplayer does not.Įurogamer's US news editor Jeffrey Matulef, who, as you'd expect, is playing the North American version, has found that executions with certain weapons trigger exploding heads. In the US version of the game, the multiplayer features dismemberment and exploding heads. Naughty Dog has confirmed the European version of The Last of Us is censored.
