Sierra Spring Break 08: 50 Cent team took out "n-word," although it may still be added

Julian Widdows, game director of 50 Cent: Blood in the Sand, has told videogaming247 that developer Swordfish Studios removed the "n-word" from the final script, but that it may make an appearance in the final game.

"In the original scripts we actually took it out," he said, speaking at the Sierra Spring Break 08 in Mallorca.

"We'll see how the finished game works out. In the first game it was included as it was all part of the street environment so it was deemed acceptable, but watch this space on that."

We interviewed Widdows later that day and brought up the subject again.

VG247: Is that a decision you guys have to make, or is that upstairs?

Julian Widdows: That's upstairs. However, we obviously have our own thoughts and feelings on that and they're shared with [Vivendi Games].
