Future sends Manhunt 2 cover discs to BBFC, unapproved by Rockstar

With Manhunt 2 (Wii, PSP, PS2) currently banned in the UK, we imagine some gamers will be looking for alternative ways of peering into the controversial footage that made this the case. Future Publishing is apparently trying to do this, as they await the results of cover discs they’ve sent over to the BBFC. Interestingly, the content in these discs weren’t approved by Rockstar. More details on this matter are available in the full article.

If Future Publishing has its way, gamers over in the UK may get a sneak peek at the footage in Rockstar’s Manhunt 2 (Wii, PSP, PS2), a game currently banned in the said region.

The publication has sent word that it’s recently sent copies of its planned cover discs for PSM3 issue 96, and PlayStation World issue 103, to the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC).

The cover discs for each magazine are expected to carry footage of Manhunt 2‘s M-rated release in North America, although the publication did not disclose what sections were taken from the game. Interesting to note as well is the fact that Rockstar Games hasn’t given Future the permission to publish the game.

Future Publication was also guarded with regards to how they would ensure that readers falling below the age requirement to be imposed by BBFC would be prevented from attaining the disc. That’s all the details available at the moment – do check back in case we receive any updates regarding this topic.
