Die Entwickler des neuen Tomb Raider bestreiten, dass ihr Spiel eine Szene enthält, die einen Vergewaltigungsversuch zeigt.
Darrell Gallagher, der Studioboss von Crystal Dynamics, veröffentlichte gestern ein Statement, dass die fragliche Szene im „Crossroads“ Trailer nicht zeigt, wie die Heldin Lara Croft zum Opfer eines Vergewaltigungsversuchs wird.
„One of the character defining moments for Lara in the game, which has incorrectly been referred to as an 'attempted rape' scene is the content we showed at this year's E3 and which over a million people have now seen in our recent trailer entitled 'Crossroads'“, schrieb Gallagher. „This is where Lara is forced to kill another human for the first time. In this particular selection, while there is a threatening undertone in the sequence and surrounding drama, it never goes any further than the scenes that we have already shown publicly.
„Sexual assault of any kind is categorically not a theme that we cover in this game."
Damit widerspricht er einer Aussage, die Crystal Dynamics Executive Producer Ron Rosenberg in der vergangenen Woche tätigte:
RON: „And then what happens is her best friend gets kidnapped, she gets taken prisoner by scavengers on the island. They try to rape her, and-" […] „She's literally turned into a cornered animal. And that's a huge step in her evolution: she's either forced to fight back or die and that's what we're showing today."
Hier ist ein Videoclip der fraglichen Szene:
