Fallout 3 Trailer Pulled Prematurely: Hosts Want To Know What They Did
Having recently witnessed Fruit Brute invest more than a healthy amount of time in Bethesda Softworks' new title Fallout 3, I can safely say that it is not what I would consider "safe for children". Then again, it is less graphic than many of the shooters I've seen. Sure, there is the occasional exploding brain cavity, but that's nothing new.
I guess a ruptured skull is a bit too much for some people to take, in trailers at least. Bethesda Softworks sent an e-mail to providers hosting the trailer for Fallout 3 instructing them to remove the trailer from their sites:
In connection with ESRB's advertising guidelines, you are instructed to remove immediately any of our Fallout 3 trailers from your website, pending further notice.
Darn you ESRB, spoiling all our fun! In all seriousness though, the game is pretty tame. It just goes to show how much editing plays into the rating of a video game trailer.

Other stuff like this: bethesda, fallout 3, one night stands, pulled content, trailer, video
I think I disagree.
Fallout 3's trailer is probably one of the MOST graphic shooter trailer's I have ever seen. I can't think of one that is nearly as gory.
Not sure why this happened, but these trailers and gameplay vids are still up on Steam and available. I downloaded them last night. Odd.
