It seems even virtual nudity is offensive and must be hidden at all costs.
http://uk.ign.com/articles/2013/10/22/sony-objects-to-ellen-page-nudity-in-beyond-two-souls-leak"Following a leak of images showing a nude version of Ellen Page's character in Beyond: Two Souls, Sony has reportedly begun requesting that websites remove any content related to the images.
The images first showed up on Reddit earlier this month, but the original imgur album containing them has since been emptied. Page's character, Jodie Holmes, takes a shower at one point in the game, though no nudity can be seen when the game is played. However, according to Kotaku, alternate camera angles of the scene can be accessed through the game's debug menu -- something which can't be reached through normal play on a regular PlayStation 3 system.
Since then, Eskimo Press and Cinema Blend have reported that Sony PR has requested the images be removed from websites hosting them and stated that the in-game model is not actually the body of Page.
"The images are from an illegally hacked console and is very damaging for Ellen Page," reads a Sony statement shared with Cinema Blend. "It's not actually her body. I would really appreciate if you can take the story down to end the cycle of discussion around this."
This situation is reminiscent of a glitch discovered in Beyond developer Quantic Dream's previous game, Heavy Rain. Under certain circumstances, one of the game's female characters, Madison, could be seen nude.
A much more famous instance of video game content not meant for public consumption being discovered was Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas' Hot Coffee, something which resulted in the game receiving an Adults Only rating until the content -- a scrapped sex mini-game -- was removed by Rockstar. It also resulted in a class-action lawsuit.
IGN has reached out to Sony for comment on the situation."
How could this possibly be "very damaging" for the actress? It's not even her actual nude body. Also, you can kill people and have all sorts of violence in games, but if a character is seen without clothing it's the worst thing ever.
