    This is terrible...

    From gamespot...

    RUMOR #3: Someone is making a videogame which will feature the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

    Source: The developer of the game, Germany-based <EXTLINK href="%20http://replaystudios.de/survivor/scenarios.php">Replay Studios</EXTLINK>.

    The official story: GameSpot could not reach Replay officials for comment.

    What we heard: When posts with headlines such as "9/11: The Game" started popping up on various forums, many thought the game would an offensive creation by terrorist sympathizers, similar to the (unfortunately) abundant <EXTLINK href="http://uploads.ungrounded.net/content.php?id=50323&name=50323_bombgame.swf&title =The%20Suicide%20Bomber%20Game&date=1097208000&qua lity=b&uj=0&w=550&h=400">suicide-bomber flash games</EXTLINK>. Like most things in life, however, the reality was much more complex. According to Replay, the game, entitled Survivor, "is a third-person disaster survival game with highly interactive locations, based on famous, authentic-historical disaster scenarios." This will not only include the horrors of 9/11, but the 1985 Mexico City Earthquake, the 1945 Hiroshima bombing, and the sinking of the Titanic. Why would anyone want to experience any of these hellish events? "We call this unique genre 'Reality Gaming,'" goes Replay's sales pitch, "The highly original single-player game concept has never been seen before." Incidentally, the highly original single-player game has not yet found a publisher.

    Bogus or not bogus?: Not bogus.
    Heres the whole page... but nothing else relevant on it.

    The have screenshots of the game too if you click the "horros of 9/11" link.

    This is a disgrace... no one should be making terrible events into something that can be "enjoyed" by people.

        I hope it does not ever find a publisher. What people will do if they think they can make a buck...

            Probably as many that buy games about killing hookers, cops, and stealing cars.

            Ok maybe not that many, but there will always be an audience for things like this.

                this makes me sick, but for graphics the game did not look half bad. I'm just positive that I would never buy crap like that. Just like the 9/11 coins made from steel from the site makes me sick.

                    Ok.... You have to think like this. There not in America so 9/11 didn't really hit thim. Like all those bombings in the Mid-east that effect those people over there. We don't think nothing of it (not trying to be rude). There are alot of countries out there that don't like America.


                    Wow this is the most coherant post I have ever made. lol

                        I'm sure, but these are real historical events that killed MANY people, and still hit home to many alive today - affecting the emotional state of nations as a whole.

                        I can't see this game selling very well, although I see what you're saying. Even if you totally disregard the fact that people are still hurt by even references to these events, the point of the game seems a bit ehhh to me.
