You forgot that the only screenshots are exclusives one atm

I could say "I've seen that coming"....

anyway, i dont care about such a stupid article, I think most gamers will be very interested in playing WW2 from the other side

 

[/linuX/gitano]

On the other hand..that article just sold it to all the belgium neo-nazi scum...

Did you just mention the core of the core roost players?

The Kotaku article only used the world 'Nazi' in the headline (probably to grab your eye), but then used 'German' throughout the body and ended on a more optimistic note, wishing the game tackles the issue with good taste.

This Belgian article seems wholly sensationalist.

 

[BlackLabel]

cant find the "slap gitano" button...

 

[Bluehawk]

German realism units will be seeing a large revival I think

 

[EddyzAquila]

Now I have to say that is just getting plain silly... what do they think? We are going to put everyone into Allgemeine-SS uniforms and have the players executing Russian prisoners or something? And, yes, they jumped on the Kotaku piece, I imagine!

You never know in this world.
Recession drove us all crazy.

de game heeft wel nog geen releasedatum...... ROFL

 

[mistk�fer]

are you making fun of this absolutely weird language that sounds like.... mhh what the heck does it sound like? I only know a german word for it : Kauderwelsch, but I have no idea how to translate it ^^

 

[BlackLabel]

Closest whould be "moonspeak" k

 

[TodSky]

NAZI SHOOTER!!! wtf don't they mean the first game were you can play as a German soldier? This is stupid it really is the game has only just been announced and there are already some idiots running their mouths....

 

[BlackLabel]

ah wait till they find out about the SS realism monkeys....

 

[Pharnakes]

Just so long as they don't find that thread about the poeple who roleplayed executing jews or traitors or something.

 

[husbert]

[SiC-Disaster]

Translation from moonspeak: the game does have a releasedate not yet
Closer to that i cant come, cause it's a bad sentence and doesnt allow itself to be translated that well

 

[aktionman]

Well the worst case scenario requires maybe just a simple disclaimer on the DVD case or startup splash screen to pacify emotions: "This game does not endorse ..." - in the line of disclaimers you find on some militaria or history websites.

Or some racing games also have: "The publishers of this game do not encourage street racing,...", etc. - "Do not try this at home, folks!"

sweet, I hope the American media runs a couple stories about this game promoting extremist politics or glorifying the Nazi party. If it's on TV news some prude senator is bound to make a comment and that controversy can help sell a lot of games.

edit: Does anyone know tipper gore's e-mail address? Should tell her about this new "nazi-shooter".

I do not believe TW would thank you for your guerilla marketing tactics Koba, well-meant though they might be

well though it would throw the game under some bad light, its not exactly like other controversial games haven't done well from it. Think GTA4 or even manhunt which by most reviews is an average game at best but sold lots of copies just because it raised some eyebrows. National tv coverage will only increase sales, unless steam get cold feet but i doubt it somehow.
