Rebellion: The “market is ready” for WWII games again

Good gravy. The circle, she turns.

I AM ALL FOR THIS! We need more Infinity Ward-made WWII CoD!

(it ain’t going to happen )

Looks promising,it’s coming out on May 4th for PC ,PS3 and xbox 360(If I’m not mistaken).

I didn’t play the first one but if game will have similar atmosphere like in this trailer with optional stealth then count me in.

Why not the Korean War? Vietnam? Damn, maybe even the wars at the Balkans? Simple, because nobody complain about killing Nazis. Sigh.

So all Activision needs to do this year is to make an HD Remake of the 1st Call of Duty?

There’s that Brothers in Arms: forgotten subtitle?
There’s also an alarmingly insufficient number of caveman war games.

Yes, it’s true. I’m ready for WWII games.

@2, OH PLEASE. Fuck no, for the mother of god. This is the only WWII bullshit game i really don’t want for sake.

PS: although the remake of the first CoD on the new engine can be really cool.

@5 Come on now. Killing nazis is one of the greatest things about videogames, like ever.

There are two things that’ll make me buy a game right away. Nazi-killing and huge, pretty explosions.

The problem with the Korean War extends a lot further than just videogames. Most people don’t give half a fuck about it, even though it was a lot bloodier than Vietnam.

I think people were exhausted after WW2, you didn’t have the kind of mass media that you had to document the Vietnam war, and finally it was an extremely complex and confusing war.

In terms of gameplay specifics, it’s just (mostly) World War 2 equipment being used against commies instead of nazis.

I rather prefer more Sci-fi FPS, like halo or resistance, with good sci-fi told stories and settings, that or at least other past wars like vietnam,etc

#10 Good for you.

Gonna be hard to make it feel like we haven’t already been there and done that to death already. I have never been a big WII game fan. Kind of limiting in terms of scope of what can be done.

Besides in the FPS side of things I am happy with BF3. I am sure CoD fans are happy with their game too. I don’t know, I just think the market is too crowded at this point already. And I don’t think that making a new game that reminds people of an old game is going to tear people away from their current games.

Screw this shit. Future Warfare I say!

@10 That is pretty good idea, we need more shooters with aliens and monsters.
Also we haven’t seen many “what if” shooters. Like in Fallout the world is stuck in a certain timeline(50s or actually soemthing happened in the Cold War).

@14 The Cold War (WW3) is one of the most unduly neglected settings for videogames in my opinion.

You only have very few games showing off European forces between 1950 and 1990. And that’s a damn shame.

NOOOOOO

i am sick and tired of WW2!!!

Developers are now sticking to modern military and gamers complain about them:/

Well I had my share of wanking and mass murdering Nazis in one lifetime. I wanna do some religious genocide now. Make some Holy Crusade games, where I can be an Atheist and kill the shit out of everyone whom fights for whatever God wills it. I’d happily play that.

#17 Play Asassin’s Creed series .

I don’t know if im ready for the full return of WW2 but im more than happy to get more Sniper Elite, the first game was fucking great. Brutal but so very bloody rewarding.

@Edo, Well, that’s just one series. I NEED MOAR!

Moving the setting off earth entirely and doing something that’s distant future or even fantasy would be better than any of the above alternatives.

I mean, one of the reasons I loved Dead Space was in its unique approach to shooters. Tycho summed it up best by describing how the weapons shot planes or shapes of damage, essentially being just tools. Another favourite of mine is Rochard, because it revolves solely around the use of gravity. Of course, then there’s the obvious reference – Portal.

I just think that by going further away from war and warlike scenarios, and even from the mundanity of our world in general, past or present, more interesting scenarios can be found. And I’d personally desire to see more of that. I’m not ready for more mundanity, but I am certainly ready for less.

if ill dress that SS uniform them im ready if not then fuck off
