Say it with me: Fair use, assholes.
Seriously, this is classic fair use, and Sony is breaking the law by issuing these takedown notices. Somebody needs to countersue. Now Sony may or may not be in trouble with Ellen Paige's lawyers for the model being, er, fully functional to begin with, but that has no bearing on what the consumers are doing.

So I took a look at it and honestly, it's just a naked cgi women in the shower. Nothing really exciting about it so yeah, then again I could just not care seeing how I have framed hentai hanging on my wall.
I just watched a let's play video of this game and I found the story to be amazing and the characters to be sympathetic and engaging. It has about as much actual game play as a Choose Your own Adventure book but I still very much enjoyed it.CJ1145 said:
My issue with this whole this is that she does horrible things in this game, game spoilers below
She kills countless people, murders a young boy's father, gets almost raped, possesses people to force them into to killing their friends and then themselves and tries to kill herself numerous times because being haunted by Aiden the spirit she's attached to has ruined her life and driven away everyone she's ever cared about,
But all that, no one bats an eye. Show her naked and all hell breaks loose.
What the hell is it with David Cage and shower scenes? I bet the first thing he built in Minecraft was a shower...
And it's for this reason that I hope Ms. Page manages to get a nice hefty settlement from the corporation.MinionJoe said:
I don't know what's sadder: That Sony pulled this painfully obvious sales tactic or that there are guys out there who will actually fall for it.
I found it and they actually didn't render her vagina at all. It's total barbie doll down there. So, unless they are a different set of images, this article isn't true. Who cares if her nipples are showing besides the American censor board?
I feel ripped off.

Has Cage ever made a game with a female character that didn't involve a gratuitous shower scene?... Omikron, maybe- and if so, probably only because the character fidelity was about at a Virtual Fighter 1 level...
Honestly, yes, I can definitely understand why Ellen Page might be very angry about this. I don't think she's ever done a nude scene in her film career, and didn't sign on to do one for this one. The fact that it isn't "really" her doesn't make it any less of a breach of trust. The companies associated with the game have definitely gone out of their way to highlight her presence in the game as a selling point, to imply that her acting gave the whole a reality and a depth that wouldn't have been present otherwise.
She's now effectively discovered that a scene that was supposed to be discrete was actually filmed at different angles than what was discussed and included in Easter Egg footage.
What a completely avoidable clusterf@$%.

IIRC one is an Americanisation of the other, but don't ask me which is which though.WanderingFool said:
I may need to find these images for my.......emotional stability. David Cage, why do games need nudity?luvd1 said:
Having just seen the images, I say: meh. I've seen better.
That's pretty messed up if Ellen Page did not approve of it, and really creepy. Also doesn't really help with the whole boys club mentality of videogames. There's a huge difference between some random people out there making fake nudes of celebrities and a celebrity, or any person really, giving consent for their likeness to be used in your product, followed by using their likeness in a way they did not agree on, double so for something embarrassing, demeaning, lewd, as rape, brutality, and even 'innocent' nudity, that is again as long as she did not agree to that specific use. Adding the nipples and what looks to be some pubic hair to the model was extra work added to it by someone(s) working on the game, to make a basic skin mesh it's a lot more simple for a bare 'featureless' appearance. Adding those touches was certainly extra work carried out by someone.
Then there's the ESRB, and if anything will happen in that regard. Kind of glad I didn't get this game now, after looking at some of it's gameplay and after trying the demo, while the story seems interesting and perhaps fun, the gameplay seemed somewhat limited and very dull.
