Hmm, well I believe Square-Enix more than a online shop :D

TOMB RAIDER will be rated MA15+ in Australia. That's the highest rating any game can get, alongside Assassin's Creed and Splinter Cell. It sure as hell won't be R18+ since there's no sex in it. Duh.

That and plus in the UK, age ratings are different than the US. In the UK there's an option of 17+, not just 16 or 18. Different countries will have different ratings, not all are the same all the time in fact its fairly common for it to be different.

The rating system worldwide is completely different.
An example of this would be Forgotten Sands (dont' judge me, I just picked the first game that came to mind!). It's rated PG over here for mild themes and in the UK/US it's rated 16+.

So, back to TR, it won't be anything short of 15+ (here in Australia).

Anyway, PEGI gave the game rating as 18+ when Turning Point premiered so UK's rating is probably fixed.

No, there isn't. :confused:

The age rating used in the UK are these:

Maybe you you saw it on an American copy of a game?

ESRB is the only rating board that I can think of that uses a 17+ rating.

EDIT - Just saw the edit. Oh, right. :pi:

Probably lol nvm :p. ESRB is american as well isn't it? they have their stickers on a lot of stuff over here in UK, partly what led to my misconception. i wonder how all this works =S.

and then be disappointed if they show nothing

In CD's view, early 2012 could mean E3 2012 too. Just saying. :pi:

I've just checked the exhibitors list and Square-Enix is not there, nor Crystal Dynamics. Our chances are small, I think.

In past, Crystal revealed their name at the very end of an exhibition. Beside, GDC says still more exhibitors to be revealed.

CrystalD said this-

Well, we should be getting an R rating some time this year. So, hopefully it's implemented before Tomb Raider's release, then I'd say it will be given an R rating.
