Sony apologizes over Manchester Cathedral gunfight scene

Saturday, June 16th, 2007

Filed under:

Sony’s PR department has got to be one of the oddest places in the world to work: what other job requires doing damage control over accusations of running a racist marketing campaign and apologizing to the Church of England about violent video games in the same breath? Well, the latter is the current situation report from the whole “Resistance: Fall of Man level being set in Manchester Cathedral” brouhaha. Apparently, the company and the Church are going to sit down and discuss the Church’s demands — how much the company will be donating, and whether there will be a recall of the game — with the background of Sony sincerely apologizing to anyone that was offended by the depiction. In light of this controversy, the embarrassment from asking a Church “can we make a video game where we shoot aliens inside this Cathedral?” would have been far less damaging than all this negative publicity: next time Sony, just ask permission!
