@Nemspy Which is why I'd love to see it done with a large budget and a high-quality team for the technical side of development; unfortunately it's also the reason that will never happen.
This game will have a lot potential if it address some of the grey areas that are involve in war journalism. For example: If you caught some soldiers on the side of the 'good guys' committing atrocities, do you report it? Knowing that it is just an isolated incident, but it will have a massive impact on their public support?
Or will you intervene in the things that you should just be observing? For example putting down the camera and help a wounded person.
Could you incorporate role playing elements, such as having to establish and use contacts, for instance to find important witnesses or uncover information which shapes or informs your story?
@Nemspy The reason the gaming market is so homogenized is because major titles cost on average $10 million to make. Publishers are too scared to tread new waters because new IPs are harder to sell than sequels to already proven titles. That's why every major title coming out soon is a sequel: Battlefield 3, Modern Warfare 3, Skyrim, Uncharted 3, Diablo 3, etc etc
This is a fantastic concept and really deserves to be made into a full game. Little concerned about how you'll address scoring and positive reinforcement though.
"War-weary orphan 2X COMBO!" and
"Explosions!" and
"Mass grave +1000 Bonus!" might make it just a little bit fetishistic.
But hey, if you can make it work, ultimate Pokemon Snap kudos to you.
It doesn't 'look' that good, but it must 'feel' good to play it. Though, it's a war game and all that. I keep thinking the camera is a stripped sniper rifle without ammo, just a scope.
Article 79 of Protocol I of the 1977 Geneva Convention says journalists will only be offered the rights of civilians - ie. not being taken prisoner - "provided that they take no action adversely affecting their status as civilians" - for example by carrying guns. Also, in a real world scenario, if journos were commonly seen to be carrying guns, even un-armed journos could eventually begin to be seen as combatants and be targeted which would endanger all of them, and the free flow of information
I wonder if you'll use the same camera throughout the game or have to upgrade or choose the right camera for the job, for instance you could start off with a handicam or flip cam, though as you progress in the game you'll get access to Pro Camcorders which shoot excellent quality video on Auto settings but bulky and can slow you down, or DSLR camera's which are light and easy to carry, shoot excellent manual footage but hard to use for amateurs and take a while to set up shot.
@dctcool - i agree with you, dctcool. i am not a video game player, but i am a professional camera operator and i have used all sorts of cameras. you are very right to point out that progression in the game and upgrades would have advantages and disadvantages, regarding the scenarios and environments. I have never liked the FPS games, but the premise to this game is much more unique and interesting. I am eager to see more of this game. cheers!
Actually, I like the concept of this game a lot. I'd rather my son spend at least some time playing an action oriented game wherein he's not involved in the, um, pixellation of the enemy.
I wonder what Kimberly Dozier will think of this game?
@Nemspy@Nemspy Some do. And some who don't have picked up weaponry from casualties and proceeded to defend both themselves and others. Check with Michael Yon if you doubt it.
However, your assertation that carrying a weapon would defeat the purpose of this game is absolutely true.
@KayakMike1963 Yes, but I think we're clearly talking about the exceptions here and we've drifted from the real point that arming the cameraman in this scenario would be completely counter to what the game is trying to do.
@Nemspy I agree.... the game would be totally invalidated were the player armed. I just wanted people to be aware that journalists have indeed armed themselves on rare occasions. I know for a fact that I would!
The game isn't even anywhere near close to being finished and already it's caused controversy with some BBC journalist named Nick Bryant who called it "War Porn"
Google search ""New game sends 'dangerous message' to journos""
Funny enough it was actually because of this story that I found out about the game and I am really impressed by it I will be following it with great anticipation. best of luck to the team.
Looks very interesting! kinda reminds me of pokemon snaps, where you would take pictures of key moments and get a score based on a few criteria like position, size, etc... really looking forward to this. Looks like Console footage, choppy movement from the player. any chance to see this on PC? good luck!
Watership Down, Plague Dogs, (nearly) every comic book ever made about ww1 or 2 and most comics made about war in general have "bad" graphics.
Story captures the horror of war. An exquisite corpse does nothing except shock and titillate for a few moments and then we go on with our life. It's why pics of starving Africans don't accomplish much to fix that problem.
I'm not saying this game has great art direction, but that would would help more than "good" graphics in my opinion.
This reminds me slightly of One Must Fall 2097, where a news reporter would talk about the 1v1 robot fighting match you were just in, with important snapshots of the actual match scattered in to the little picture-in-picture screen while she talked..
I'd say graphics don't matter in a game, but with something like this, graphics and atmosphere are KEY. I think someone on reddit elaborated on this a bit, but basically you cannot capture the horror of war when the war doesn't even look like...well, war!
Apart from the graphics though, this looks like a REALLY good concept, and I hope they're able to fully develop the game. We really need something like this!
want to play, want to play, want to play, want to play, want to play, want to play, want to play, want to play, want to play, want to play, want to play, want to play, want to play, want to play, want to play, want to play, want to play, want to play, want to play, want to play, want to play, want to play, want to play, want to play, want to play, want to play, want to play, want to play, want to play, want to play, want to play, want to play, want to play, want to play, want to play,
I wonder if with this game, by editing the footage in the right way, you can make news stories which would be the delight of Fox News or Right Wing oriented news depots, where rebels are the mean evil guys who are trigger happy with the heroic occupation forces.
I didn't mean to diss on Modern Warfare, its just their engine isn't advertised alongside the gameplay as much as BF3's is. What's it called anyway? Mango? Orco? Charmander?
So you mean .. I can't kill? Its about running and dodging? Can I at least throw the camera at the bad guy or stick a tripod in their fanatical believes or something? Or maybe I can fall down on them and knock them unconscious? Mario Bros had it like since 1985...
personally i have a bigger problem with the physics then the graphics, 0:43 they look like toy soldiers running. thats gunna take away the experience more then the graphics.
The graphics are a little rough around the edges, but its not like the game is going to ship tomorrow guys. I'd like to see it polished, and at the end of the day, not have the same old "War is bad" moral shoved down your throat at the end...again. If both sides are flawed, both have positives and negatives, it makes it a real experience.
And of course, good graphics don't make a good game.
It's sadly a very bad concept if this was basically the only thing you do, although having it where your camera is a tool instead of the main focus of the game may be good. To pull this off it would require a VERY unique story line and some VERY stunning visuals to go along with it.
I think its a good concept.. and interesting. But will it sell..?? I'm not sure.
Pokemon snap was wonderful and all,just saying, .. but when you finish taking pictures.. then what? [honestly i got bored] How can this game make me want to re start it and will it give me a different outcome?
@Roychesraphim1 I agree completely. it's a fascinating premise for a game, and one that if executed well could become an absolute smash hit. It's great that this game is going in such a new and exciting direction, though a shame that its seemingly so handicapped in resources such as graphics and animations.
Interesting premise, but with movies like Restrepo to fill that void, I see no need for this sort of game. I can understand the desire to find more immersion through this medium. However, I can simply immerse myself in any regular movie on DVD for cheaper. But that's just me, personally.
IF the graphics improve DRAMATICALLY, you have an open environment like a previous commentor stated it would actually be fun...
I would also suggest having point values - both for how good your footage is (like ratings for explosions, more important moments...etc). Also use different images to unlock access to new areas i.e. slant your coverage to the guerillas u get more access to them, to the loyalists get more access to them; instill public outcry changes the way battles go and so on.
Looks like a fantastic idea! An Idea: Give the player freedom. Let them choose from a number of different unstable areas of the world, and then within those areas, make the game environment huge, with many battle and protests going on in real time. Don’t take them to it in a mission-type format. Give them updates, like “Tensions rising in [COUNTRY]“, or “Protests break out in [COUNTRY]“. Giving the player the freedom, and burden, of finding the news will make it more satisfying when they do!
damn this is a really good idea considering how scripted most singleplayer FPS games are nowadays. you are already a spectator most of the time while the action plays out before you, why not arm the player with the camera instead of a gun and pretending like he has any affect on the outcome of the story?
An old friend of mine - the team leader of the Insurgency mod (Mod DB Mod of the Year 2007) - is going to be pissed about this, lol :(. As a former Canadian Army soldier and photojournalist, he contacted me around a year ago about making this exact game concept. I never would have thought there'd be someone else actually interested in developing such an original idea.
I get bored with FPS but this might actually work for me.

@Roychesraphim1 I agree completely. it's a fascinating premise for a game, and one that if executed well could become an absolute smash hit. It's great that this game is going in such a new and exciting direction, though a shame that its seemingly so handicapped in resources such as graphics and animations.

Very, very, very interesting.
But please, focus more on the animations. It's important.

Interesting premise, but with movies like Restrepo to fill that void, I see no need for this sort of game. I can understand the desire to find more immersion through this medium. However, I can simply immerse myself in any regular movie on DVD for cheaper. But that's just me, personally.

IF the graphics improve DRAMATICALLY, you have an open environment like a previous commentor stated it would actually be fun...
I would also suggest having point values - both for how good your footage is (like ratings for explosions, more important moments...etc). Also use different images to unlock access to new areas i.e. slant your coverage to the guerillas u get more access to them, to the loyalists get more access to them; instill public outcry changes the way battles go and so on.

Looks like a fantastic idea! An Idea: Give the player freedom. Let them choose from a number of different unstable areas of the world, and then within those areas, make the game environment huge, with many battle and protests going on in real time. Don’t take them to it in a mission-type format. Give them updates, like “Tensions rising in [COUNTRY]“, or “Protests break out in [COUNTRY]“. Giving the player the freedom, and burden, of finding the news will make it more satisfying when they do!

damn this is a really good idea considering how scripted most singleplayer FPS games are nowadays. you are already a spectator most of the time while the action plays out before you, why not arm the player with the camera instead of a gun and pretending like he has any affect on the outcome of the story?

I've always thought that war games don't really introduce the issues of war. This might be different.

An old friend of mine - the team leader of the Insurgency mod (Mod DB Mod of the Year 2007) - is going to be pissed about this, lol :(. As a former Canadian Army soldier and photojournalist, he contacted me around a year ago about making this exact game concept. I never would have thought there'd be someone else actually interested in developing such an original idea.
