Headline :: Sony issue apology for PS3 shooter

[Steven W]

Feel the love today! Two apologies in 24 hours from the MS and Sony eh? Whatever next? Sony has today finally patched up their differences with the Anglican Church after the interior of Manchester Cathedral appeared, without permission, as a backdrop in the violent PS3 shooter, Resistance Fall of Man.

Check out the Headline

I really wish Sony had stood their ground on this. Didnt see any merit in the church's stance.

I think it's actually worked out quite well for sony, all they have done is said sorry to the church and taken out an ad in a newspaper, so the content can be left in the game and the game can still sell (propably more copies now because of the publicity).

Looks like they haven't had to pay them any money either. Result!

Didnt realise that ... In which case its not too bad a result for Sony. No publicity is bad publicity.

No publicity is bad publicity.

unless your console has a 30% failure rate?

People will still buy it on the basis they are more likely to be part of the 70% than the 30%....

In a statement, the Dean of Manchester Cathedral, the Very Rev Rogers Govender, said: "We still fear that the next buildings to be cloned for virtual desecration could be a mosque, synagogue, temple or other church."

Sony may be a lot of things, but I'm (almost) sure that they're not stupid enough to 'clone' a mosque, as I'm sure the reaction would be quite different.

Wait till you play Blacksite Area 51. You lay siege on a mosque...I was very surprised when I saw it.

Nothing good will come of this... 'Political correctness' in video games? What's next, do we censor art, music, free speech and the mighty inter-webby-net?

<oh, sorry, forgot - we already do the last two>
