Silent Hill f has been pre-emptively banned in Australia, with no reason given for the 'refused classification' rating

We've only seen very little of Silent Hill f in the grand scheme of things, and already it looks to be one of the scariest games in the series. It's the first game in the series to be rated 18+ in Japan, and the ESRB description for the game mentions "faces ripped apart," "a character burned alive inside a cage," and "entrails and sinew displayed on serving platters." The game is seemingly so horrific that Konami felt the need to include a disclaimer on the game's store page saying, "If you feel uncomfortable at any point while playing, please take a break from playing or speak to someone you trust."

Well, the next bit of evidence in favor of 'Silent Hill f is going to be super scary' has just dropped. The Australian government has released its own rating for the upcoming horror game, that being 'RC,' which is 'Refused Classification. This means that without changes to the game's content, it won't be released in Australia.
