JFK killing video game raises outcry
 

about JFK Reloaded game



VIDEO game released yesterday allows players to simulate the assassination of John F Kennedy.
JFK Reloaded hits the shops to coincide with the 41st anniversary of Kennedy's murder in Dallas, which is such a memorable anniversary that we are surprised that people didn't remember.

Anyway the plot is not that there was a great conspiracy to kill the president but aims to prove that a lone gunman was able to kill the president with an incredible bouncing bullet.

It has been released by Scottish games outfit Traffic Games which said it used new technology to simulate the killing.

The objective is to fire three shots at Kennedy's motorcade from the Texas School Book Depository.

Points are awarded or subtracted based on how accurately the shots match the official version of events as documented in by the Warren Commission.

If you hit Kennedy in the right spots in the right sequence you get a high score. Getting Jacqueline Kennedy, or any other gunmen on the grassy knoll leads to deductions.

Each shot can be replayed in slow motion, and the bullets can be tracked as they travel and pass through Kennedy's digitally recreated body.

You can see the motorcade from a number of angles, including the perspective of filmmaker Abraham Zapruder and a view from the "grassy knoll" where some conspiracy theorists believe a second gunman was stationed.

Not surprisingly the game has miffed the Kennedy family. A spokesman for Sen. Edward Kennedy, the late president's brother dubbed the game as despicable. µ

It's not a game...it's an experiment. :1orglaugh

This is exactly what they wanted. Marketing without having to pay for it.

the demo doesnt allow you to shot

sucxksssssssssss

Every major US news channel ran a report on this.
Those people are geniuses, they targeted a small group with a controversial topic. With all the exposure they landed, majority of the target group would have been reached. They HAD to have made close to a mil, if not more in download sales. Like it or not, good or bad, people will buy.
Curiosity, shock value and talk value pwns joo
edit: plus they priced it just right.

is there a new sport that I am not yet fully aware of ? ?....... posting yesterdays news! ??

Thanks for the link man!

Yesterday was the announcement of the release.

Today it's all about the "outcry".

:1orglaugh

Nobody forced you to click the thread malaka

Yesterday's news? Try last week's news. :winkwink:

But I never read it before so my conspiracy theory is that you wouldn't even care...... "IF" you had a life.

i am suprise of how many people praise JFK

And I'm surprised that there's such an outcry over nothing more than pixels on a screen depicting a scene that occured 40 years ago. After all, aren't there already plenty of war/adventure games that depict graphic violence?

They should make a game on who killed 2pac.

I bet it was puffy

fuck, i gotta get this game

demo version sucks, you cant fire the rifle :x

Just a small group trying to make quick money and I bet it worked...

$9.95 for a game you will play for like 5 minutes...ya right

lets get cracking

indeed.
