Company Launches JFK Assassination Game

[Agozer]

i dont do links, whats the gist of it? a game that you assasinate someone kennedy style? sweet, but that would be a 2 player game...

It's basically a re-enactment of sort of the JFK assassination.

It's about presidential assassination, not JFK. And so what if it's cartoon based (it's called cel shading), it's a different type of rendering which adds style.

But it's boring. The sales can attest to that

So sales = how good it is?

As usual, the media skews this one out of context. It's not being marketed as a "video game" in the entertainment sense. It's almost more like an experiment, especially with the player's goal being to scientifically re-create the historical events rather than just "kill the former president."

 

On the one hand, it's a tragic event and so the initial reaction is shock - who in their right mind would want to be in those shoes? Once one gets past the stigma though, it opens the door to a lot of more mature educational possibilties in interactive media, and even to interesting research techniques - having thousands of different users from across the world fill the ambiguous "skill" role in a historical or forensic simulation and watching the results. I'm not entirely sure they picked the right historical event to start this kind of thing with, but we'll see how bad the media treats them.

Normally, yes. Well, some games' sales did not reflect the actual

quality and greatness of the game
