Unhackable Ps2 version found with same "hack," Rockstar in denial

Quote:

IF I WERE ROCKSTAR right now I think I'd move offices and forget to bring the telephones. First off, their carefully worded denials that the Hot Coffee mod is completely a 3rd party "hack" was thrashed when Neowin.net discovered the same stuff on the un-hackable PlayStation 2 version of the game.

Secondly, today another group jumped onto the bandwagon that was set in motion by, among others, US Senator Hillary Clinton. The Parents Television Council is demanding that the game be taken off of shop shelves and slapped with an AO (Adults Only) rating that would restrict sales. This is a critical time for the games industry which faces potential censorship at a federal level in the US, should Senator Clinton get her way and enact legislation that would have a great impact on the sales of controversial videogames.

Parents group urges 'Grand Theft' recall

Quote:


	A media watchdog group has demanded that Rockstar Games recall "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas," the blockbuster title at the center of a swarm over a hack that helps players unlock a sexually explicit mini game. The move added the Parents Television Council's voice to a growing chorus of critics of the game--one of the most popular ever sold and one of the most controversial for what critics see as its gratuitous violence. For the past few weeks, the video game industry has been buzzing over a software modification for the game that allows players to have their characters engage in sex acts at the house of a "girlfriend." The game modification, dubbed "Hot Coffee," can be downloaded from the Internet.
