I wonder if you actually saw the events that day live on tv ? I sat down to dinner as the story bout the first tower being hit came on air, then later as the second tower was hit, and when the buildings collapsed. Anyone watching saw people throwing themselves from those towers, I remember when original estimates were coming in at 20 000 dead. I watched this from the UK, but every time I see an image of the WTC I remember that day and what I saw - for someone directly affected or who was there it must be so so much worse.
We should remember that day, but seeing the WTC in games and movies isnt the way to do it. If anyone puts such insignificant things as games before the people who died that day then they need to really think about that. If they feel it is a waste of time... then I've nothing to say, they have their own conscience I guess.

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.

Limp Bizkit : rollin was filmed on the south tower.
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 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.
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.
spider man 2 was edited for it's new york sky line and the film was canned
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.
