I think we need more games in NAM
michiyoyoshiku \| 10:53 PM on 10.25.2008	16 comments

World War 2 games are still played out. Zombie Nazi's will be good for just that 1 Call of Duty but I want to fight another virtual war.

Nam is perfect fora Good M Rated romp. Platoon, Apocalpyse now....they'd make great games so I think the style of them would be good for a COD game.

We've had Nam games before and they were well not good but in the hands of Treyarch and Infinity Ward I think we'd have some Gold.

Really there's a window for some really unsettling jarring shit that hasn't been done in a Reality based War game yet.

So yeah.....I want a game set in NAM.

You guys?

Nah, I'm good.

I'm good for anything that's not WWII...unless they let us be the nazis

I though Battlefield did a pretty good job.

There was nothing better then cranking some music and then flying low over the hills in the helicopter during a multiplayer match.

@COXBLASTER

Hell yes. Back before Family Guy raped it, Surfin' Bird was actually thought of fondly because it reminded me of flyin around in a Loach or Huey.

@F WHIPPLE

Erm...you do get to be the Germans in Call of Duty: World at War...

I still think World War II is interesting enough as a setting for games.

You don't see me complaining at the same fantasy world every JRPG takes place in.

Well, the 'Nam games that have come out really haven't been that good. Battlefield: Vietnam was decent. But Shellshock?? Ehh, not too good. If someone can make a good 'Nam game, I'd be all over it, but I'm still waiting for that day.

michiyoyoshiku

how about a revolutionary war game....

yeah

I've been thinking the same thing, since I first heard the news of COD:W@W going back to WWII. A good Vietnam game is definitely overdue. In fact, I'm not too sure why any COD team hasn't gone for the idea.

kawitchate

they're making a sequel to Shellshock (for some reason). gonna have zombie Vietnamese or some shit.

Vietcong was great. Very, very intense. Go check it out.

Nam would be an excellent backdrop for a war game if done correctly. Like instead of being just an action game, a Nam game should show the horrors and dehumanizing effects of the war on both sides a la Full Metal Jacket and Platoon. I've been planning on making an in depth post about this for a while, just haven't gotten around to it.

awkwardmongoose

I dunno. I honestly feel like Call of Duty 4 changed the whole genre. I thought I was sick of old war games before, now I KNOW I am.

DibbityDan

I think Brothers in Arms proved that a WWII game can still be interesting and not just more of the same.

Even so, a Vietnam game would be pretty great, if you think about how deep the story could be (the fact that people didn't know whether to support the war or not), how interesting the gameplay could be (napalm!), and what kind of experience you'd get (a strong sense of paranoia). I played a Nam game a while back, it was pretty gruesome. Maybe people don't make these games because there would be outcry from people who were in the war who are bitter.

Or maybe this is what Infinity Ward is coming out with next year. WHO KNOWS, CAUSE I DONT

michiyoyoshiku

Yeah, that's the thing about War games they just make it A GAME no game has shown the horrors or war the actual conflict (innter and outer) and Nam was such a controversial war (more so than Iraq now) that there are a TON of things that can be done.

I hope to see a truely great Name game soon.

nebones

Yea

seltzermx

How about a Vietname game where for some reason, suriving Nazis are the cause of the war. Now that just has WIN written all over it.
