Effectively neutering the whole experience of playing Silent Hill: Homecoming, Atari, which publishes the game in Australia, has announced that it hopes to get the violence modified by publisher Konami so that it can be classified and released in the region during Q1 2009.

Apparently, Australia’s ratings body found “several high impact scenes” in the game, mostly focusing on scenes depicting “drilling into and severing body parts” to be disturbing.

North America and Europe are getting the drill-filled version of the game, with the former getting it today in retail stores and Steam, and the latter some time later.
