So is it confirmed that if you buy SR4's american version, and gift it to an australian, they get the uncensored version?

Nope it hasn't been confirmed, it's just rumor.
Personally I think the Valve employee in the article is just skirting the question because
1. They are not going to encourage bypassing censorship laws, for obvious reasons.
2. They know about people bypassing censorship via foreign keys, but don't openly say it because they don't want to do anything about it.

If we do get region locked, there's always VPN.

Just to bring any other UK fans down with me, the EU release has been pushed back to the 23rd at 00:01 CET. So about 1am in the UK.

shoot men, receive credits
Well, at least the 23rd is a friday, so I can get right into the game without having to pause for work, sleep or food once I get home... at least if I can get myself to not start playing before leaving for work that is.

Edit:
Also Germanistan somehow ended up with an uncut version, which is realy, realy weird cause SR2 and 3 were both heavily cut over here. Probably the VR enviroment and over-the-top alien invasion theme helped. But it's rather random what is allowed here and what not, cause there are no explicit rules and it's done on a case to case basis. You are even allowed to re-submit for a fee... GTA IV done that until they got through with their un-edited version.

It's still not confirmed if NZ gets stuck with Australia's lovely cut version for filthy criminals, and the official channels are refusing to tell anyone anything.

I'm pretty sure it's been confirmed that NZ is getting the uncensored version.

Nah, it's uncensored there. NZ EB Games has already been running ads for it poking fun at our lovely censored Aussie version.

Deep Silver seem to be putting more useful information on their Facebook page than the actual SR4 website

So did Deep Silver in this case, originally it was going to have to be cut.

Bollocks, I should probably have checked the requirements just in case before I preordered. I only have a Core 2 Duo :(

Still, SR3 ran fine on the highest settings and by all accounts SR4 runs better. Can but hope.

We got some serious shit to discuss.

So just to check, since I've never done the preload thing, once midnight rolls around, the game should just automatically unlock? No need to click anything or set up a final download?

Yes. It make take 10-30 minutes to fully unlock the game and play it as it installs but pretty much yeah.

I haven't pre-loaded SR4 because you can't choose install location on a pre-load, and I want it on my SSD.

The Steam servers are going to be slow as poo poo when it unlocks :smith:

Pre-loaded and ready to get back to my cockney-accented old man being a muthafuckin' boss. Also, that 'Murica weapon that came with the pre-order :getin:

Though my computer is showing it's age, so I'll probably have to tone down the setting to get it running smoothly. Still, it ran SRtT smooth, so I don't think I'll have too much of a hassle.

That's not what gaslighting means you hyperbolic dipshit.
I'm not worried about preloading, myself. In my experience the decryption process takes just as long if not longer than the actual download itself so it's never been worth it for me.

I'm just gonna start downloading that mofo at midnight through whatever unpopular looking Steam server I can find and start having a ball then.

I'm sure I'll be online around the same time as everybody else.

Amazon.co.UK just emailed me to say SR4 was no longer being released on PC and my pre-order is cancelled. It now shows not available on their website.

It was £10 cheaper than steam and I don't really want to pay an extra tenbux :(

Why does this game have to drop worldwide at the exact same time? It'll unlock at 11 P.M. tonight for me, which means it'll be just early enough to where I'd feel justified giving it a shot but too late to really get a good play in unless I stay up the entire night, and I have work tomorrow. If it came out at midnight, I could wait until the next morning, and if it came out at 9 P.M. (drat you West Coast!) then I could get a few good hours in.

I think it's gonna be a late night :getin:

Apparently Deep Silver and GAME have done some terrible moneyhat bullshit and now a physical copy is only available from GAME and is a fiver more expensive.
