Eidos enlists UK burlesque artist for Battlestations: Pacific

slow news day indeed.

They even got the period makeup right ^_^

Slow news day, eh?

Very nice!

Never heard of her.

lol

I just saw the word burlesque, what's going on?

Excellent choice I love cheesecake pin-up art.

Its damn more classy than having tera Patrick in SR2 :lol:

Man if only they did that for Tomb Raider WOOOOOOO They would sell a mint.

Whaddya think gamers are all at home tugging their wankers? How bloody absurd!!!

Totally worth an article. Not.

Burlesque is huge here in SF, making a big-time comeback along with various other theater arts. Artistic as well as titillating. Where's your sense of fun?

pin-up girls were cool at one point. so was disco. some things should just stay in their own time frame, regardless of this is a period piece or not.

Pin Ups FTW!

Half naked women rise sells...By the way she has a good body but her face is a bit scary...

Pin-ups would add a degree of authenticity to the feel of the game. I've seen many pictures of WWII planes with girls painted on the fuselage. In fact, one of the enduring symbols of that era would be Josie the Riveter. Still, I think it's safe to say that C & C reminded Eidos that this option was available to them.

And this is newsworthy because...?

Hooray for Pin-Up girls. :P

not our precious burlesque house LOL

And who's to say sassy ladies aren't important in a post-WWII, alternate reality where mechs, parachuting bears and nanormachines roam the Earth? Surely the soldiers of Red Alert 3 need some comforting too!

Yes this isn't like C&C , pin up girls was important to WW2 culture so I don`t see anything wrong with it all only them trying to give the game some authenticity

Pin-ups were important during WWII to help troops remember what they were fighting for and the reward of returning home to.

i dont know wether to say the girl is hotty hot hot or scary :|

I truly believe this is about more than "sex selling." Pin-up girls were an important part of WW2 era culture, and as a former sodlier I love it when games are able to show the human side of soldiers' needs. Even if one of those needs is an unatainable burlesque girl.

To Beamish1990: Sex sells? Red Alert seems to have come trumps from it, if Battlestations pulls off the same great gameplay as well, then I expect they have a winner.

This serves no other purpose than to say "Buy our game, we have sexy ladies." What is the point of this?

What a piece of tail this girl is! I love the Brit's.

Eidos' sequel to Battlestations: Midway is set to sizzle this summer, and we're not just talking about exploding ordnance. The publisher has announced that, in addition to a lineup of virtual dolls, British burlesque artist Polly Rae will be appearing in Battlestations: Pacific as one of the Allies' pinup girls.

According to a statement Eidos issued today, "Rae is the founder and front woman of Britain's leading, award-winning troupe, 'Hurly Burly,' and will be available as one of the many pieces of nose art to decorate your in-game US aircraft, taking forces' sweethearts into the thick of battle." Rae has previously worked with British lingerie brand Agent Provocateur, appeared on the cover of Time Out, and even performed at the 2007 Games Media Awards alongside the rest of Hurly Burly.

Battlestations: Pacific follows the American and Japanese campaigns in the Pacific theatre after the Battle of Midway and is heading to frontlines across Europe this May, on the Xbox 360 and PC. For more on Battlestations, check out our << LINK REMOVED >>.
