Just saw this on BBC news(TV):

They showed a clip of Resistance fall of man on the PS3. It was downloaded from YouTube and was so low quality it would look bad even on a 1 inch mobile phone screen lol. Anyone watching the clip on TV wouldnt know it was a cathedral and would probably think the PS3's graphics capabilities had slipped quite a bit

I thought that playing a character liberating a church from invading aliens (rather than gunmen as mentioned in the article) would be a positive message

was the interior of that church a literal copy of the Manchester cathedral or was it just a room with a "churchy" theme set in manchester.

yeah its pretty offensive to people who play games. They seem to think well turn into gun totting nutters the second we play a shooter :/

It's not about the portrayal of us, it's about the portrayal of the church. I think it's no big deal though. These religious zealots will look for anything to moan about.

By thinking that this game encourages us to carry guns in a church i think they have a low opinion of a gamers intelligence
