Hitmanâs E3 trailer, which showed a squad of sexy ladies dressed as nuns being slowly and methodically beaten to a pulp, created a bit of stir.
So much so that the developers of the game, IO Interactive, have apologised for its content.
âWeâre sorry that we offended people â that was truly not the intention of the trailer,â IOâs Tore Blystad told IGN.
âOf course we understand, this has been a very big topic for us and weâve been reading as much as we could of the articles and responses. We were surprised that it turned into such a huge topic. Something similar happened with our Sniper Challenge pre-order bonus⊠We just wanted to make something cool, it wasnât the intention to stir up anything.â
And there you have the reason I didnât like it. This is what they thought was cool? When people want someone to blame for the dire content in so many blockbusters, you sometimes have to stop pointing fingers at âevilâ marketing and âstupidâ publishers and sometimes point them at the people actually making the game.
