Nothing I think. They still allowed GTA3 to be released.

I think most people want to forget about the events of september 11th. This couldn't be done if everytime they went into a games shop they had a reminder, the shelves only being stocked up with nice and fluffy games.

Maybe developers will think a bit more about what they include in their games, but I don't think there will be any major changes.

I personally believe that everyone went overboard in going out of their way to appease the gaming board or whoever is in charge of that department in that it should not have delayed any games. I think that it was a good move in delaying Spiderman: The Movie as it shows actual images of buildings being blown up but games just show computerised or replicated (badly) images of the same happening. If people can't differenciate between real life and a game or film then they shouldn't be playing games or watching films. I was truly disappointed at the delaying of Grand Theft Auto 3 and future delays of future incidents (if there are any) will just anger me (and surely some of the general public) more. Legislation is wrong unless felt truely appropriate by a consensus of the general public or it's just a waste of time.

It is not that people can or can't differenciate between games and real-lfe, it is just that they don't want to be reminded of the september 11th attacks. If you take your mind back to that time, you wouldn't have wanted to be reminded of it in a game, just as some people don't want to be reminded of it now.

spider man movie was canned cause it actually had the world trade centres in it. i saw the trailer at the cinema when spiderman makes a massive web between the buildings which stops the bad guys helicopter.

I saw that trailer too. It was really cheesey.

And I think in MGS2 Metal Gear Ray was schedulaed to knock down the twin towers, but obviously it as removed.

It still will be. As any sad comics fan, such as myself knows :), spiderman is returning to the cinema in Summer 2002 in the US followed by a predicted July/August release in this country. They've re edited and shot new scenes so as not to offend anyone or disrespect those who died on 9/11. The producers even auctioned off some props and stuff for charities in America last December.
