Resistance: Fall of Man

Post by **Mike** » Sun Jun 10, 2007 9:06 am

This game has raised worry from Manchester Bishop as the game seems to be set in Manchester Cathedral and blows away lots and lots of nasty enemies. They claim it is morally reprehensible to have a game celebrating guns when Manchester has a problem with gun crime.

I wonder who gave Sony permission to use the building then? I think they obviously forgot to ask the Cathedral's Bishop.

sony have claimed they sought permission where it was needed for this game, and although the cathedral looks uncannily like manchester does anyone know if it is depicted specifially as such in the storyline - not just looking like it but actually stating now go and kill things on the bishop's doorstep? although i hardly think the use of guns in manchester is going to explode because of a computer game that uses the same old formula for the upteenth time - who complained about grand theft auto, splinter cell, medal of honour [apart from the mary whitehouse wannabies in middle england]?

after school i used to regularly come home and spend a few hours taking out my frustration by blasting the shit out of thing on doom, but i never had a hankering to take an uzi into form and splatter david royle's brain across the wall. at least not want i was ever going to act on. computer games and violent films dont turn people into killers, and the continuing assertion it does is an underhand way of saying vast sways of the population are idiots who cant be trusted to do anything more exciting than be in church and hear about god with his vengenance and wrath.

Sorry, but I find this quite funny, they are too stupid to actually go and blast stuff in computer games but it is okay to go and hear about omnipresent beings blast stuff in reality!

Just to clarify the above is not a comment on religion - just Fez's humorous comment!

I don't quite understand that lobby saying playing games makes people go and shoot up buildings in real life. I know people like games because we all have a competitive streak to some degree.
