Thebad news keeps pilingup for Rockstar andManhunt 2.GamePolitics askedanalyst Michael Pachter to see what he thinks Rockstar needs to do to save their asses and not have another Hot Coffee on their hands:
I had estimated [Manhunt 2would generate] around $25 million in revenues for this quarter, plus around $15 million in reorders. It’s not clear to me whether Take-Two will:
ship the game as is;
re-cut the game and attempt to have the UK ban/US AO rating lifted;
3) cancel the game.
Unfortunately for Rockstar, they only have 2 options now. Nintendo and Sony have both stated today that theywill not allow an AO rated game to playon their respective consoles. Seeing as how the game isbanned incrumpet and tea land, and now more or less here, Rockstar has to either redo the game or just cancel it. Either way, this will undoubtedly hurt Rockstar financially.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go catchHostel 2.
