That is an insane idea you have there.

Wait a minute Disolitude are you suggesting game companies are xenophobic in their views on the wars? I find this a ridiculous notion.

No, I think he's suggesting that game companies want to sell a lot of games in the world's biggest market.

Well these games cost a lot of money...and since most of them made in America or western Europe, they have to have somsort of national pride associated with them. 9/11 can only provoke so much desire to reduce countries responsible in to rubble. And cold war has been over for how long? They will jsut run out of enemies... Its just a matter of time before Aliens and Nazis are brought back as they are perfect enemies.

As far as WW2, there is lots of room for more games. I'm still waiting for the first game where you can play as Nazi's and obliterate the Americans and Brits. Think about it...it could have saved Turning Point:Fall of Liberty from being utter shit of a game.



Sarcasm aside, the real issue with WW2 games is they are very limited in scope. If they did have the various views on it like has been stated previously they could revitalize the genre, but I don't think we have evolved enough as a peoples to play as Nazi solider. It would be very difficult to make it an unbiased view. It might happen in another 20-50 years when all the people involved are dead and gone.

True. But I see some small company hungry for press and money doing it anyways down the road.



Let's hope it happens sooner rather than later, it will speak more about us as race if we can view the War from all perspectives. If anything someone could make their own small game for PC. The graphics and gameplay wouldn't be much, but the story could be fantastic.

So why do you not think that the next Call of Duty won't be World War II?

Wasn't it announced it would be in Vietnam, or was that just a rumour?

it said that it woould either be in the cold war or vietnam. most likely viatnam



I regret making this my username, I made this name when I was 13 years old

Life could always get worse, you could be a mod for Neogaf

i think a world war 2 game that covered the whole war in its entirety for each side would be awesome. I would definitly buy it.



Long Live SHIO!

Bring on the World War 1 games.

I've also been waiting to play a game as the Nazi's where they win even if it's just a battle or two and not the war.

Like maybe the beginning when they kill France and invade the Soviet Union?
