Real bad news for the game industry...

http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/11/21/kennedy.game.reut/

Just heard this on the news. A new game was made where the object is to shoot John F. Kennedy. Its arselicker game makers like this that tear evetrything else down! :angry

 

Saw that tonight too.

 

Personally I think the GTA series are much worse. When teenagers massively flock to games that promote robbing random people, killing pedestrians and policemen and the like the release of some obscure game that focuses around a single murder pales in comparison, I think.

 

Agreed. While this is rather demented, a mass-murder/armed robbery simulator like GTA is far more horrifying. Then again, in America at least we have this problem with fellating the memories of the dead, so something that simulates the murder of a president nearly 40 years ago is most likely going to generate far more of a public outcry.

That aside, does anyone see how this 'game' could be super-boring? I mean, it looks like all you do is set your stupid ass up in the textbook depository and shoot at Kennedy and the governor. Whoop-de-fucking doo. $10 seems WAY overpriced for something that could have been done in a freaking Java applet. :smt1069

 

Saw that on Globo News on Brazilian TV.

The weird stuff is that the developers explained that they made the game to prove that only one shooter ( Lee Harvey Oswald ) was the killer of the Pres. Kennedy.

Yeah right. :-D :smt042 :smt082 :smt043

 

It's just garbage. I don't care what the developers say about trying to disprove the conspiracy theories. When you name the game JFK Reloaded your pretty much throwing any credibility out the window and show your just out to make a quick buck on controversy. After all these are the people who made State of Emergency.

As for the real event. I'm not one to usually believe in conspiracy theories. In this case though there is no way I believe that "Oswald acted alone".

 

:smt023 Agreed

 

Correct me if i'm wrong, but i'm pretty sure this isn't the first game you've been able to kill a person who is already dead, what makes JFK any different?

 

Well here in the U.S, JFK was a very well liked president when he was in office, however his asasination was one of america's biggest tragedies, and too many its very disrespectful to make a game based on such an event, still i think the game looks very boring and pointless, besides if the developers were try to disprove conspiracy theroies then its pointless since those people will keep beliving them and trying to prove them as well.

 

JFK was an arselicker of a president. The only reason anyone gives a flying shit about him was that his brain got fucking blown out the side of his head.

I personally am not offended by this game at all. Who cares--it's a game! People are only outraged because the media told them to be outraged.

 

And the really awful thing is that we may never know what really happened. :smt009

...sorry your parents didn't hug you enough or something. :smt009 :angry
pretty insensitive

 

omfg this pwns, i just saw on the news that you get 100,000 if you recreate it just like it happened, i could surely use that money GOD DAMMIT I ALMOST BECOME MILLIONARE!!!! THAT DAMN COLOMBIAN MOFO HE WON 150MILLION OR SOMETHING AND MY DAD GOT THE SAME NUMBERS BUT NOT IN A LINE HE GOT 3 IN A LINE THEN 2 AND THE OTHER ONE IN OTHER PLACE!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAA MILLIONARE I TELL YOU!!!!

 

"Sorry" if my views don't match yours, kystyle. Can't please everyone I guess, and I highly believe that I am the only one (or one of the only ones) who has the views on the matter I do.

 

i agree with the media thing, but i also think he was a good man.

 

i'd be more concerned over something like nam67, not that im offended by anything really.. but that game, i dunno. vietnam was something the generation before us lived through and to be there would probably really mess you up.

 

Making a game where you shoot JFK is just wrong. What's next?

How about a game where you whip Jesus, then nail him to a cross, then stab him with a spear, then gamble for his clothes? Jesus reloaded?

I'm not even a practicing Christian, and I know that will offend many people.

How about Martin Luther King Jr? or Abraham Lincon? We could call the game "Really fucked up murders in history."

What a bunch of assholes.

 

There's already a movie that's whacked out about Jesus and it's called the Passion of the Christ. Most fucked up and demented thing I've ever seen in my damn life.

 

I watched that and House of 1000 Corpses as a double bill a couple of nights ago whilst working a night shift. Passion of Christ is a fucked up film, just some dude getting the absolute shit kicked out of him all round town whilst dragging his cross to the point where he gets nailed to it. It made me :smt043

Oh, everyone should watch House of 1000 Corpses. Fishboy made me :smt082

 

I don't see what the fuss over this game...
I mean so you can shoot JK boy so what!... big deal..

it's perfectly fine if you play game where you can shoot terrorists and all but not when you shoot already dead US president?

come on...
maybe I'm cynical but I find these kind of argument and media coverage as cheap shot at the video game in general by those ignorant fools who don't do their homework before open their mouth...
guess it's easy way to shift blame to someone else...

I'm dying to see the day when they will make a game where you can assume Satan and kill Jesus and the final boss would be the big cheese himself up there... he he

cheers
