Sony requests naked Beyond images removed

Sony Computer Entertainment has sent out a takedown request to a gaming site that posted nude pictures of Ellen Page taken from the recently released game by Quantic Dream, Beyond: Two Souls.

The images were captured from a version of the game running on a dev kit. Those who reviewed the game this way had the option to free-roam with the camera, and (at least) one person used it, resulting in the capture the offending images.

The site in question, Eskimopress, duly complied with the request, and have followed up with confirmation that images have been removed for "legal reasons". They also speculate that the reasoning behind the takedown request is down to Ellen Page herself, which is a distinct possibility. At any rate, there seems to be a certain amount of damage limitation being undertaken at the moment, whether it's enough to avoid legal repercussions further down the line remains to be seen.
