Im currently involved in the production and direction of several titles due for release possibly fall 06...
In light of the amount of crap developers are getting, even though the particular game im working on is to some of a highly violent nature, im taking
no extra steps to accomodate these people, and I never will. I have a plan and a direction I want it to go in, that will not change. (Although I will
say, it is of a war nature, it doesn't come close to the violence GTA:SA or Postal 2)
They're really not smart:
1. Games for years have shown the shooting of people and this has bothered few, at least not to the current degree. As soon as there is a "sex
scene" (I double quote that due to the fact these arnt real people there 3D models simply given animations, depicting sex) these people run for the
hills!! (I hope they don't abolish sex altogether or there won't be many people around in the future
)
2. The kind of people who are arguing against these video games have kids under the age the game is intended for. Then they shout how some stores will
sell them to underage kids. Who the hell cares? Its your responsibillity as a parent to govern the entertainment your children are involved in CHECK
THE AGE GUIDE LINES, PLEASE PARENTS!!! Games arn't intended just for kids.
3. Are they bored, or just not that bright?
There have been cases where video games have been blamed by actual killers, I suggest that TV could have the same infliction on these people as video
games, possibly even books? Nothing like a good novel to really spark the imagination and if there dumb enough to copy a video game. I question there
state of mental health.
The fact that Sims 2 has now been put on trial. I find rediculess, I own a copy and have played the game many times. It's unfortunate that these
people are bothered by barbie and ken like features. Is it really worth risking peoples jobs and putting all that energy into something so absurd?
