What has happened in fact is that the Australian rating board has not ranked the game at all, And as the former Game Spot Video producer Edmund Tran has notedThe game was presented by Konami through an international age rating alliance. This is a ranking move that is designed by various authorities to pave the content rating for video games. This is far more important than the approval of a game and the passage of a game, But as another user pointed outRefusal to rank on the IARC does not affect the local Australian release, and it is a matter of games that are not meeting the ACB needs.
Responding to this by the Rating Board: “Silent Hill F is currently not classified as a ‘denial rating’ in Australia.” The entry has been removed and a decision will be published “before the game release”.
