@Virginia Gobetz They do!
(Also, Battle of Arlington Mill is like, really obscure)
And, burial vaults have bodies in them. Titanic doesn't.
Why not?
As stated above, there are several games about WWI & WWII, about the Vietnam war, about the Chernobyl accident and there are even a few (very obscure) about the Holocaust. So why not about Tiranic?
Are there any stories anyone thinks are too serious for game material?
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.
What do you think?
