Manhunt 2 Hackers Access Censored Violent Content, More Hot Coffee For Rockstar

According to Games Industry, Rockstar has a whole other pot of Hot Coffee brewing:

Hackers have already tampered with the code of Rockstar's Manhunt 2 to reinstate the violent scenes and images thought to have been removed from the game.

The PSP version of the controversial title has been exploited less than 24 hours since the game was officially released in North America.

You would think that after the last bit of trouble caused by lazy coding, Rockstar would have come up with a better plan to abide by the ESRB's ratings than throwing a sheet over the bodies.

I think Rockstar *wants* the controversy and quite possibly left the offensive content within the bowels of the game in order to get "Hot Coffee" syndrome again.

Nothing sells more units than controversy and the ensuing free publicity, even if ESRB instates some minor fees.

That's the conclusion we came up with at lunch today. It's just too much of a coincidence.
