Clever marketing ploy?

Actual content?

If it's the former, I have to give a nod to their marketing department.

Wow, leave it to Rockstar to push the envelope, though I have to admit I never figured they'd go this far. I'm guessing that this is actually in the game, as I've seen multiple websites mention it, the game is out today so we'll know for sure soon enough. I can't wait to see what happens when the media finds out about this, they're going to have a field day with it...

[Nebagram]

And yet no one even blinked at the sight of Ewan McGregor's cock in Trainspotting. Frankly, I think Rockstar are pioneers, for having the guts to try to treat videogames as an equal medium in this way. If only this message doesn't get lost beneath the 'they're selling kids porn that's clearly labelled for over 18s only!' brigade.

Um. Not work safe, of course.

MY EYES

Edit:
However, now that I've seen it... is the original GTA4 this well acted? I liked the facial expressions, that bald guy... you just feel bad for him, haha!

Ewan McGregor's cock

That would make an awesome band name.

They could've done a better job modeling his genitals. Not very realistic looking.

[iloveguns]

another subliminal marketing...

I bet it looks a lot better in HD. You can probably make out each hair.

Rampage World Tour beat them to it.

Scroll down in the page to see it . DIGITAL WANG!!

[Push Upstairs]

"Digital Wang" is an ever better band name.

[The 1 2 P]

I like the name "pixelated boner". Thats what they should title the mission name for this.

I have to agree with you there, perhaps no one at Rockstar wanted to take the time to make to make them look more realistic...

Anyway...I agree with Nebagram too, Rockstar probably looked at current gaming and realized a lot games have had topless women (God of War, Conan, Age of Conan, ect.) but no one has pioneered male nudity in gaming, though considering you were able to make out with other guys in Bully, we should've expected something from Rockstar, I just don't think anyone expected them to go to this far.

There are some things that just shouldn't be done. This is one of those things.

We have double standards for a reason, people! Let's not forget that.

Grand Theft Auto? Rampage: World Tour? The Game Genie has them both beat.

One day at school in the late 1980s, my friend told me he got a Game Genie. It was brand new at the time and none of us owned one or had ever used one, so we thought it was cool and exciting.

I asked him what it was like and he said, "It's awesome. It lets you alter games. Like last night, I entered a code for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles that let me play as Shredder. I also entered a code for Super Mario Bros. that let me play as Mario riding a bike naked and holding a sword."

GOOD, I'm glad they are doing this. This is a good example of how lame the rating system is nowadays. Have less bare ass than a daytime TV daiper commercial and you get slapped with a full nudity rating. But DLC? oh well online interactions aren't rated by the ESRB and since there's no storefront selling it they can't be crybabies about it and deny the sales. Microsoft WON'T take it down, because it's exclusive GTA content and they know it's gonna sell. This is exactly the kind of move I've been wanting to see happen just to point out the flaws in the system and hopefully lead the way to games having whatever the hell content they deem appropriate and actually still getting sold somewhere.

[SegaAges]

Uh, I totally watched that whole thing to purposefully see a polygon dong

"A" sword or his, ahem, "sword".

Depending on the code, the Princess may or may not be all that impressed.

Lost and Damned was rated by the ESRB, and given a Mature rating.

You're glad you get to play a video game that features male genitals?

It's one of my personal shames, too. Let us never speak of it again.
