THE SCARIEST VIDEO GAME EVER: How North Korea Will Take Over America In 15 Years.

Sorry guys, I haven't posted more than 20 posts, so I can only post here, but here is an interesting game that talks about North Korea conquering the US in 2026. Lots of interesting predictions.

Although fictional, Interesting little timeline there, but I think much of the turmoil and collapse will happen much sooner. I need to get a better video card so I can play all these new games. Welcome to ATS!

In all honesty north korea coud never invade and occupie america, they can hardly feed their army, they would be destroyed within minuets of landing

wtf, when is the game released?

I think Deus Ex Machina was pretty darned scary.

Do I get to make a thread about it?

This is the backstory trailer that gives you the information on how they took over.

In development it was supposed to be China, but the company was asked to change it to North Korea prior to release.

haha. thanks for the warm welcome guys.

Well...who knows. truth is often stranger than fiction :-/.

You can easily pick up a good video card for like...$100. Swoop it off eBay

There are a lot of really cool games out there now.

And I think China is definitely not the kind of country that launches wars. They haven't in the past, and they won't. I think the Chinese people are not the most trustworthy, but they sure are very peaceful.

if anything, it would probably be an attempt from the western worlds, and China's retaliation ends up crushing or injuring both parties.

My teens just picked this game up over the weekend. Granted to story line is a bit spot-on in certain aspects, but I foresee the plot points occurring much more rapidly than the culminating year of 2026. That's not to say I believe N. K. would invade US. If it comes to an actual land invasion it will likely be the Chinese. Since the mind behind this game is also the one behind the movie "Red Dawn", I see the similarities.

As another poster observed, the game initially called for the invasive army to be Chinese, but due to political correctness, etc, etc. the foe was changed. I think this ties in with the remake of "Red Dawn" too. I read in another ATS thread (the one on the trucker seeing NK trucks, arms, personnel in Mexico) that instead of China, the film villians were also changed to NK's to avoid any misinterpretations by those who hold the largest share of our nation's debt.

BTW...GAME SPOILER...My kids beat the game in under 10 hours, so rather than investing your gaming $$$, you may want to consider renting first.

Honestly, it was merely an alright game. It could have been so much more. Too short of a campaign (around 6 hours for me. Finished it in one afternoon). Multiplayer isn't very good in my opinion. Snipers are everywhere in every server since they're so easy to use. I ended up with an 8 kill streak in under 10 seconds with a sniper rifle without moving the crosshairs at all. There's only like 8 guns in the whole game. Overall, it's pretty lacking which is disappointing because I'd been looking forward to it.
