I think that there shouldn't be games about the Holocaust. Especially since the ones in existence mostly makes the player a German officer.
Other than that... no. Every day life is full of awful incidents and accidents, to some, even surviving is an ordeal! Games copy real life, so why should it be different?
All I said was I don't everything as game material. In fact, Coppola didn't make Godfather for that kinda attention, and I don't blame him for that.
What does "The Godfather" have to do with the Titanic?
Which btw, if Coppola didn't want games to be made out of any if his movies, he shouldn't have signed the contract allowing it!
Not saying that everything should be a game, but you are way too sensitive about the subject of a game about Titanic.
WWII Is way more serious than the Titanic, btw.
Who said he signed the contract? And Godfather, based on what I heard from Hollywood Goes Gaming, was not of interest to him in the first place. As for that sensitivity stuff you're saying, I've got news for you, I don't disagree with you saying the Holocaust isn't game worthy. So why should Titanic be game worthy if not that?
You are aware that for anyone to be involved in a movie, they have to sign a contract, right?
And that's false. He was the one who presented the idea of the movie to the studios.
Yeah, but the Holocaust is only part of WWII and there are thousands of games about WWII. The Holocaust was a genocide. Something much more serious and traumatic than a shipwreck. Even if that shipwreck was that of Titanic.
There has been much more tragic shipwrecks, with more loss of lives and games have been made about it (loosely based).
So, why not the Titanic? There are already several games featuring Titanic. A hidden object game, a simulation game where you try to solve a murder before it sinks, a Nintendo DS game where the entire gameplay takes place inside a replica of the Titanic (possibly Olympic) (which btw, I love that game) and now there's that marvelous and realistic "Honor & Glory" that actually replicated the interior to the very minor detail and that's a simulation of the maiden journey of Titanic.
I actually hope that more games are made about Titanic. None of those games treat it in a disrespectful way, so why not?
What makes you so sensitive of a game about Titanic, anyway?
We're not talking about Swiss Family Robinson or something. Thus, I think games should be fun. Titanic, to me, is more of a learning experience. In other words, I feel there's a right and wrong way to deal with this kind of story, along with many others.
Wow, you have issues... It's not like you can stop people from making anything related to Titanic if they want to! Nor can you undo its sinking!
Not every game is supposed to be fun. Some are challenges for your brain, as memory, strategy, etc. There are games that teach you things, others that let you experience things that you couldn't experience in any other way and there are games that affect you so much that makes you see things in a different light.
Don't like games featuring the Titanic? Then don't play it and stay away from them! No one is forcing you to play these games! Just stay away from it!
Just because you don't like something, it doesn't mean that others have to dislike it as well. You won't change other people's opinion just because you don't agree with them.
I'm not against games teaching valuable stuff. And you're certainly entitled to your opinion. And I liked to know if you've seen the Hollywood Goes Gaming documentary to find out about Coppola's feeling towards the Godfather game.
No, I haven't seen the documentary. But I know how contracts with big studios work.
As soon as the movie is completed, the movie becomes the studio's propriety, not the director's. After signing a contract with the studio, the director is working for the studio.
It's the studio's decision if they want merchandise done of the movie, not the director's.
He can whine and moan all day long, but in the end it's the studio's decision.
What do you think?
