WW II Gaming genre Officialy destroyed

April 9th, 2008 01:40 PM

When Operation Darkness is released... HONESTLY... Do the japanese even know what WWII was about? I mean for gods sakes they're tought that the holocaust didn't happen so you can pretty much guess that the basis of this game will most likely revolve around magic and super demon monsters since they have no idea what caused it or how it ended :P . The Nazi Zombies part of it is probably the only plus factor to that game, other then that, it's going to be a complete failure, i don't plan on buying a WWII game with abunch of prepubescent teens as my characters, where's the squad commander thats smoking a stogie throughout the game and sounds like he's losing his voice? I WANT ATLEAST ONE MORE GOOD WWII GAME BEFORE ALL IS SAID AND DONE.

Meh, its not being made by Infinity Ward, the chaps who made the original Call of Duty, CoD2 and CoD4. Treyarch made CoD:UO, CoD:BRO, and CoD3. If you've played through the series, you'll know the ones made by IW are far better than the ones Treyarch made (CoD2 > CoD3). CoD5 is also going to take place in the Pacific Theatre.

WWII games have be done to death.

Maybe they are just trying to make it more of a fantasy then reality.

But it IS a reality, which is why it's so offensive (to me atleast), and stupid, i mean it's bad enough that they've turned a very serious, very real war, in which millions died (counting civilians) in, into some stupid little anime RPG. After watching the trailer i'm also surprised to see a woman playing the part of a US soldier when the only faction in WW2 that use'd women were the russians, and for snipers.

All in all, WW2 is no place for some anime, RPG, with an unrealistic storyline (apparantly Hitler is a *Vampire*) with no relation to that of the actual war, other then the plot of people killing people. It's a mockery, it should never be released, and it's just plain wrong (for video games), i predict it will score a 6/10, the extra 5 points are for it being SOMEWHAT original.

If you take offense to a game that attempts to portray an alternate reality for fun, then you need a serious reality check.

WW2 has a huge wealth of options and has been subject to some of the most creative ideas there is. Wolfenstein, Freedom Force vs the Third Reich (that one would make you cry) all attempt to characturise the setting in some way.

Since when were games meant to be realistic? Just because they follow a period of destruction, gives them no need to adhere to such an atmosphere. I play my games for fun, no other reason.

I actually find this funny, there was a Vietnam game a few years ago, Shellshock: Nam '67, which featured real footage of soldiers being burnt and mutated from war. When we have such material on the street, you'd figure that a comical, light hearted game would be good?

Guess not.
