I actually work at another cathedral in the UK where a level in a RTS on the PC featured our cathedral. 'Outrage' was expressed etc etc, but it never went anywhere. Now of course this is different in a way, it's more realistic for one thing, taking place IN the cathedral rather than around it, but I think the precedent set in my cathedral's case bodes well. Purely from a common sense pov though, it really is quite silly. Yes it's realistic, and yes, perhaps Sony should have made sure the church were happy before releasing it, but seriously, it's a fictional narrative with aliens (I think that's right - not played it myself)..If this were GTA or The Getaway, maybe i could understand, but this an incitement and encouragement of guns and gun culture than Wolfenstein was of the Nazis
Let alone all the films which do exactly the same. I don't understand what they think will happen. People will want to shoot aliens in their cathedral? weird
