![]() Culture site Gaming Blend said it received a similar request from Sony Computer Entertainment America, which went so far as to request that the original story be taken down entirely. This action came despite the fact that Eskimo Press merely linked to the images on another server rather than hosting them itself. Nordic entertainment site Eskimo Press was the first to report that Sony Computer Entertainment Europe asked them to take down the leaked images, citing unspecified "legal reasons" for the request. Scandals revolving around supposedly inaccessible adult content in games aren't completely unheard of, though remember GTA: San Andreas' Hot Coffee?īut when reports surfaced earlier this week that Sony was making vague legal threats in an effort to remove those images from the Internet, our news ears started perking up a little. This kind of embarrassing, tawdry celebrity gossip is pretty common in the entertainment industry, even if it's relatively rare in video games particularly. When nude images of Jodie Holmes, actress Ellen Page's character from Beyond: Two Souls, began appearing on the Internet a few weeks ago (courtesy of a repositioned shower-scene camera running on debug hardware) we thought the story was a little too tabloidy to cover. ![]() At the very least, it raises some rather awkward questions about Beyond: Two Souls mastermind David Cage: Why would he, or anyone on the Quantic Dream team, rendered Holmes' body in full detail - and I mean, full detail - for a shower scene that was intended to be covered up?

Page herself hasn't yet commented publicly on the matter but Sony's frenzied response to the appearance of the images has led to speculation that legal repercussions could be in the offing. And while a Sony PR rep clarified that "it's not actually her body," the company also described the situation as "very damaging for Ellen Page" and was apparently seeking to have any coverage of the matter taken down from web sites in order to "end the cycle of discussion around this," although by now it's probably given up hope of that actually happening. ![]() Sony's been dropping the hammer on anyone hosting the images for non-specific "legal reasons," but they're still pretty easy to find at this point - and no, I won't be linking them. It turns out that a shower scene featuring her character Jodie Holmes was rendered with naughty bits and all, and then covered up for use in the game, which of course meant that a simple change of camera angle revealed the young Ms. Sony is working madly to scrub fully-nude images of Ellen Page's Beyond: Two Souls character Jodie Holmes from the net, leading to speculation that the actress might be considering legal action.Įllen Page's appearance in Beyond: Two Souls has become a whole lot more revealing than either she or Sony intended, thanks to the slightly creative use of a PS3 dev kit.
