Is the world ready for a realistic videogame of the Battle of Fallujah? Ready or not, it's coming next year for Xbox 360, PS3, and PC.
"The Seattle-based (Washington , the US) indie games publisher Victura and indie games developer Highwire Games, are today very happy and excited to announce that they have just released three new missions for their first-person tactical shooter "Six Days in Fallujah", nearly doubling the content in the game (the new missions is available right now for PC via Steam Early Access)." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
Six Days In Fallujah is a controversial military sim which just hit Early Access. Jump Dash Roll dives into the battlefield to give its first impressions on a possible rival to Call of Duty.
14 years after its original controversy-filled announcement, Six Days in Fallujah has made its way into Early Access. How does this milsim game fare?
I feel it is important that games like this are made, so long as they are done well, in such a way that it offers incite into the topic at hand, rather than just becoming another meaningless throwaway experience.
... if it offers insight or not. If it's a good/great game, I'll check it out, and if it's mediocre or bad, I won't. Simple as that.
I don't feel a game about this war is 'offensive' or disrespectful: I feel the war in it self is extremely offensive and disrespectful! It's an illegal war based on lies, and it has caused about a million deaths and immeasurable wounded and damage! Bush and his cronies should be dragged before a war crimes tribunal and charged.
I don't really understand why people are upset about a game like this. Because it's still 'fresh'!? Because it might be 'too realistic'!?
It's time to accept games as a mature medium, so if you can make movies about Faluja, and write books about Fallujah, what is so wrong about making a realistic game about Fallujah!?
You want to get upset about something!? Be upset about the actual war! Not about developers using that war as a background to create something interesting.
but then again ireland is neutral from wars so i wudnt understand how americans wud feel about this as they have losts 1000's in the iraqi war.
What do you mean by realistic?
Like ARMA?
Like Operation Flashpoint?
Developers stop using Realistic and Simulation words unless you really mean it!
To make such a game unless it help Iraqs broken Economy. Since no matter how much the publishers will try to avoid conflicts or condemnation of any country or person it will come and also in the time when Iraqi people are fighting with economic crisis they see no good here.
Better they should have imagine something new and creative rather than milking the cash cow.
