Hey look everyone, it’s the tabloids making up a load of old horse manure – again. However it’s not the main ‘News’paper this time, the article is in their games section. Paul Vale begins by talking about the ‘buzz’ about a ‘Kill Osama’ movie.
“I’m sure it’ll get made.,” he says “I’m equally sure that game designers are already poring over pictures of Bin Laden’s compound, working out a way to include a similar mission in one of their forthcoming shooters. “
Really? If there are any games designers working on this then please get in touch.
“When’s the next Call of Duty game out?”
Asks Paul, implying COD will feature an Osama style mission. It’s out at the end of year Paul, any decent games writer knows that.
“What gamers want is ever-increasing levels of realism and designers have already shown themselves prepared to tackle controversial events on the console and PC. “
Yes we are prepared to tackle controversial events except as soon as anything controversial appears – No Russians, the Taliban in Medal Of Honor – dirty rags like yours jump all over it and claim we’re all terrorists. However you now seem to be supporting this kind of content, please make your mind up.
“As such,” concludes Paul, “Expect Rainbow Six: Abbottabad; Call Of Duty: SEAL Team Six; or Medal Of Honor: Osama to be hitting the shops just in time for Christmas.”
Or not.

That is a brilliantly presented article. A round of applause for Tuffcub!
Oh, and Paul Vale. Shut up, you plonker!

a) Do these people not know how long it takes to make a game on the scale of MoH or CoD?
b) Also, there’s a game of it already out.

Guy seems like an idiot. Not in the sense that games developers etc aren’t considering a mission based on recent events, I’d be surprised if we didn’t see something similar in the future. But he doesn’t seem to have any idea on how games development works, and how long it would take to make. They’d have to re-write their story for one thing, and I’m sure they’ve already worked that out… months or years ago in fact.

Double Standards!!!

There was a game on PS2 where you had to kill Osama. Suggesting that there will definitely be a game based on it means the guy is clearly a twit.

At the risk of sounding like the grammar police, the controversial mission in CoD was called ‘No Russian’ (meaning the language) not ‘No Russians’ (which would imply the people.

Oops. Forgot the closing bracket. Looks like I need the punctuation police. :)

It’s clearly just a tongue in cheek filler article. Peeps taking it far too serious.
