Oops! Manhunt 2 escapes early  by: Sean Colleli - According to
highly respectable site Gamepolitics, an early European version
of Manhunt 2 was leaked last week.  The big issue is that this
is an older, AO caliber beta, before the game was hacked down to
a less grisly M rating.  It's a PS2 build, and supposedly some
crafty people have already torrented the image, burned it onto a
disc and gotten it to work.   I'm betting that it's an inside
job, a lower level tester who was mad about the game being
edited and decided to leak it.   I  wouldn't be surprised if
someone at Rockstar loses their job over this, but  the bigger
problem is the potential  media  fallout.   This game  is
already being demonized like crazy, and this unfortunate slip
will only add more fuel to the PR nightmare fire.  I'm just
interested to see how much of the game was edited--that'll give
us an idea of whether or not the whole AO debacle was a subtle
Rockstar publicity stunt. comments powered by Disqus
