Sony Europe blamed for Manhunt 2 leak photo

Busted! Remember when a leaked build of Manhunt 2 managed to make its way out? Now it looks like a representative from SCEE was the responsible party, and Take-Two has just released a statement.

"Take-Two Interactive has confirmed that a former employee of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) has acknowledged his responsibility for the unauthorized online distribution of an unrated play-test version of Manhunt 2 submitted for the European PAL PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system," the publisher told GamePolitics.

GamesIndustry.biz hit up SCEE for a statement, only to find that they are unable to comment.

"As there is the potential for future legal action to be taken concerning this incident we are not in a position to make any comment," says an SCEE rep.

Seriously though, I'm still not sure if I care about Manhunt 2 outside of the censorship issues.

@Necros: It was probably akin to what happened in Edgar Allan Poe’s short story, “The Tell-Tale Heart”. The guilt deep down in his soul consumed him, and he had to confess.

Or, you know, everyone suspected him anyway, and he just decided to come out and say he did it to save the police the trouble. I dunno.
