No one here played it of course so they don't know there was actually a shower Scene in 2 already.
The story goes Aya Brea was at an opera house when a woman went crazy and people started lighting on fire around her, she chased her and witnessed rats mutating. What's basically going on is a better told Resident Evil/super soldier storyline from what I gather (Still have to beat 2). Aya Brea is like the opera singer in the way that she now has abilities granted by her altered cells able to cast "spells" and she stays youthful, she's in her mid thirties but looks like she's in her early 20's.
It's all about biology, I've heard little on the story in this one but for all those saying a shower scene is goofy and whatever, they did it already and in 2 it was worked in just fine.
Aye, the idea is based off an actual fact, that our mitochondria are separate beings, with their own unique DNA. The spells (which are made much more believable in PE 2) are based off Aya's unique condition allowing her to use the energy her body generates from fighting off the "monster" aspect of the unique mitochondrian cells in her, to interact and affect herself, her surroundings, or other beings through their own cells. The games are actually based off a novel, and subsequently a movie, of the same name, but act as sequels to them.
Her appearance is that of a 20 something year old because the awakened mitochondria within her find that a host body at such an age is at their physical peak, so its advantageous to remain at that level.
As for the shower scene itself, its pushing the game back to its original rating, because the first two had them. I can't quite comment on WHY they were in, or care why they were in the games in the first place, but I can always guess. Maybe they are there to remind the players she IS still human, that despite her monstrous capabilities, she's still a female, and (portrayed as) an attractive one at that.
edit: Besides, think of it this way, as some brought up, yes its fanservice, but you know what? Its fan-service the developers included because the fans wanted it. Which is a step(however small) closer to them maybe making another game in the series with all the mechanics we love.
