Indications have emerged today that Killspace Entertainment are developing a game based on the 1970's Vietnam War film, Apocalypse Now.
This week on Digital Fiasco: Capcom’s response to Dead Rising 4 reviews, Microsoft’s E3 presentation, Sony guts Playstation Now, Do we still care about Crash Bandicoot? We’ll also talk about Pewdiepie’s sense of humor and the resulting fallout, but first we’ll talk about Breath of the Wild’s Expansion pass and the disappointment it brings.
Pewdiepie has received overwhelming support from his fans and the youtube community as a whole. Whereas the Wall Street Journal hit piece has been received with universal condemnation, their youtube video currently has 267 Upvotes and 48,000 Downvotes. It completely backfired on the media, and rightfully so. People don't trust the media anymore, and things like this are not helping them at all.
Please don't repeat what "someones" dumb president repeated. Like it or not you NEED the media to fact check what people say. Especially a president that has violated 5 constitutional laws within a months time, is hated worldwide and is "trying" to become a dictator.
He's also soft on his friends and tries to gag anything unfavourable.
Also, tax payers are paying over 30 million dollars a month to protect his dumb wife and big ass kids cause they choose not to move into the white house. Besides directing our neighbouring nations, the man, his comments and his whole life is an insult to anyone, including Gesrago W Bush Jr. that has ever held that seat.
So no, the media is needed, and its never going away. It's not perfect because human beings are not. But it is necessary and always relevant.

"Apocalypse Now seemed to strike a chord with many backers, but with each passing day it looked less and less likely that development studio Erebus was going to reach its lofty target of $900,000. And then what happened? The developer cancelled the Kickstarter campaign after reaching less than 20% of their goal.
But the men and women behind the game have not given up. No sir. They have relocated the crowdfunding campaign to the official Apocalypse Now website, and issued a rallying call to all those who want to see this game happen. It will be done on their terms… and with a much larger funding target."
The Kickstarter campaign has been canceled.
I have thought a lot about how this could be Turned into a game. I imagine a game that turns the scenes from the film into highly atmospheric battle zones, with a feeling of dread throughout. The storyline of the film could easily be adapted into a commentary on linearity in games, If you listen to some of the lines towards the end of the film especially. If done right, this could be an epic game.
This could be interesting.
I wonder if it'll be confirmed at E3?
I'd never reviews more games, just as long as they are good ": )
don't have much faith in vietnam war games they all sucked since day one. They are totally going to kill this great movie.
Cod7 competitor?
