Do you feel The Church of England have a case here?

Sony will (secretly) write them a check, that will "mysteriously" do away with the "highly irresponsible" issues.

No, I don't think they have a case here, unless usage/depiction of the Church is copywritten.

Its the same as why the mayor of NY doesn't like GTA4 set in their city.

Basically, it gets names in the headline with a really easy target to rally support against (re: guns and the kids who play with the virtual ones).

I don't know about that. The article seems to attribute this whole thing to money, but why would a church worry about money? I mean, aren't thay all about god's love and preparing our souls for eternity?

No, especially considereing there are video games where you go around after the rapture and fight off "tools of the devil," participating in prayer and converting people to increase your strength.

Do you feel The Church of England have a case here? Naw, I'm playing that game right now and that mission is mint. Bugs start coming down the walls and some new masher aliens come barging in with guns that shoot through walls and stuff. It's not irresponsible at all...

unless they mean that the clergy are actually aliens. fear

That's way too deep man...

what game is this?

I forget, it might hve been Left Behind? I saw it on the news a while ago.

what a bunch of bullshit. the game developers cudnt give less of a flyin f about em damn shit for brains clergymen. its just to have a nice scenario in a first person shooter. LMFAO. if they have a problem with THIS depiction why dont they practically SUE the creators of SHIN MEGATEN GAMES or XENOSAGA or SILENT HILL or the ton of other games who openly claim yahweh is evil and a bastard?

Guns in a virtual cathedral, good heavens! Someone think of the children!fear

Sony should grow some balls and just tell them to stfu, then make a new game where you get to deflower virgins using protection before marrying them inside a church while listening to heavy metal and smoking pot.

What about all the guns in churches in world war two games?

If they were real churches, then I hope they asked the owners first.

I played COD2 and don't recall any historical sites....just a bunch of snow and old burning buildings.

To me this whole issue with the church and sony is poetic justice. Sony is getting a taste of their own medicine here....last year they sued an online video game retailer and put them out business.

Fair play I'd say.

I'd play that game!

I'd bet it would be really popular! Oh, and a survival game at it....well, for those left behind.....

Ha-ha ''Church of England''.

I think that the PS3 should had gotten there permission before going around making such a game.It is also not the type of game that should be encouage.
For one thing if PS3 did a game on the temple or where the budist and muslims worship, they would get blash for it. How is it that fair?It is not.JM
