I had a subscription to PSM and I had this issue! I remember them doing an april fools joke where they photoshopped a nude lara croft into game screens claiming they found "the code", ah young me was wowed to say the least.
Looking at archived copies of this magazine at retrogamemags, it seems like PlayStation characters in 90s comic book art was their thing. These are just delightful- look at this Jamer Sunderland
Now that's the face of a man mourning his wife
No more SOYBOY James we on that alpha male monster slayer shit.
I believe that was a mod that got urban legend’ed into being a supposed secret code available in the base game. Which is funny as it’s not the only time in the 90’s an April Fools joke by a gaming magazine got spread as truth. EGM photoshopped Sheng Long into SFII screen shots as a joke and players fell for it.
Yeah, there was a mod called Nude Raider that Eidos wasn't happy about, they tried to shut the site down.
edit: I wonder if this inspired the damage control done by Rockstar over Hot Coffee in GTA: SA, iirc they initially tried to claim it was user created.
My memory was that the hot coffee thing was in the game as shipped but it could only be accessed with a mod
It was in the game, but Rockstar claimed it was created by modders. https://www.cnet.com/tech/gaming/hackers-behind-sex-change-says-grand-theft-maker/
Incredible headline out of context.
Dude, same and same.
Good times.
