There are movie posters everywhere for 15 and 18 certificate films no one complains

Yes they do.

Loads of  movie posters have been banned for glorifying guns.

OMG.... she is comparing this to Iraq? Way to sent a message to the kids about what Iraqi people look like

"Why yes kids... the Iraqi people look like the devil and they have glowing red eyes!"

I hate ignorance >_

Maybe they're confusing Iraq with Dune. I do that a lot.

 



This is still going to be seen at the stores in the City, so I don't really see the point.

Unless they think the kids don't go to the store.

What is the difference from a store versus a bus stop?



  • 2010 MUST Haves: WKC, Heavy Rain, GoWIII, Fable III, Mass Effect 2, Bayonetta, Darksiders, FFXIII, Alan Wake, No More Heroes 2, Fragile Dreams: FRotM, Trinity: SoZ, BFBC2.
  • Older Need To Buys: Super Mario Bros. Wii, Mario Kart Wii, Deadspace, Demon's Souls, Uncharted 2.

There is definitely more to list that I want, but that's my main focus there.

A store is where you buy things, like groceries or pornography. A bus stop is where buses stop.

Political correctness run amok (when isn't it?). Maybe they'll be forced to advertise on TV the way they should be. I live in Newfoundland and I have never seen a Killzone 2 ad ever (with the exception of the Internet). I have a friend who enjoys FPS games and has a PS3 and he didn't even know that Killzone 2 was out. Attn. Sony: put ads on TV, don't confuse customers, ignore PC whining.

 

A PS3 player missing the Killzone 2 release ?



 

Evan Wells (Uncharted 2): I think the differences that you see between any two games has much more to do with the developer than whether it’s on the Xbox or PS3.

@Sardauk

I don't have Killzone 2 yet and neither do any of my friends. Hell, few of my friends goto gaming sites or forums and as a result many of them barely know that Killzone 2 even exists. No commercials on television is a huge blunder.



@Sardauk

I was curious so I had to check my friends' trophies. Zero Killzone 2 trophies. I guess even the people that I haven't been talking to don't know Killzone 2 exists.

extremely disappointed at sony for listening to that sucker mom.

it's only a pic of an helghast.that's it.

she is actually pretending that helghasts are from iraq or something.

Lame.

No, many people would not know what a helghast or whatever it is from the poster. Some people would just assume it is a firefighter back from the dead and smoking crack, hence the glowing red eyes and a mask with a nozzle. Put yourself in someone else's shoes who doesn't know a thing about this game. People aren't going to know what it is because they are living their own lives and not playing games. There are more things in this world than just video games. Video games are a form of entertainment, and no everyone appeals to the same form of entertainment.

Remember that. Don't assume some woman is a 'sucker mom.' She has every right to be protective of her child and concerned of a poster that looks demonic because she doesn't understand what kind of game it is. I would've done the same to protect my child (if I had one now...) from stuff like this because I wouldn't want my children to be influenced or traumatized from seeing something look demonic. I can see what she's saying that the 'person' or 'entity' looks like. It looks like someone with a gas-mask on ready to cause a nuclear or biological warfare, in this case the mother might think it's a game on terrorism. Just look at it from a human perspective of what you see in our everyday lives and not in a video game.
