the most controversial game ever
WHAT DOES EVERYONE ELSE THINK OF THIS?
a company called Traffic has made a game that allows you to be Lee Harvey Oswald on November 22, 1963. this allows you to relive the JFK assassination by being allowed to take shots at him from the sixth floor of the Texas Schoolbook Depository. Traffic claims the game is to prove that Oswald had the means and opportunity to kill JFK. all the details of the event are recreated as exact as they were able. the person who can recreate the assassination the closest to the real event will win up to $100,000.
i haven't played it yet (yes, i do plan on it at some point), but it seems that this game is top of the line. the way they decribe it and the screen shots they show are amazing. the bullets take time to reach their target (unlike in other games where you just click and the bullet has already reached its destination)and they are effected by gravity. the things that the bullets hit have real-life effects as well. the bullets will travel straight through glass and upholstery, when they pass through flesh there will be some deflection, and "either glance off or pass through bone, depending on the angle of impact". angles of ricochet are "highly accurate simulations, based on the laws of physics". and, of course, bullets lose energy, and hence speed, after passing through different objects.
i'm a huge gaming fan i've seen the evolution of gaming since i was about three when i played my dad's old atari and the original, 8-bit nintendo. i really get into the new technologies that some of these games are coming out with. i was amazed when playstation and n64 first came out because gaming reached a level that i never thought it would when i was younger. what i'm tryng to say is that i really appreciate all the work that this company put into this simulation. its absolutely amazing. its too bad that they used all their time, money, and effort toward and idea thats offensive to so many Americans.
edit (i forgot to mention this): this idea is genious. absolutely brilliant. their website is getting all the free advertisement they could possibly want. if the subject of the game was something not controversial, there would be no news coverage and not many people would have discovered it. instead, everyone is gonna hear about it and a lot of people are gonna pay the 10 dollars to see it. twisted... but brilliant.
i'd like to know what everyone else feels about this
