"To most people, this would have been a once in a lifetime experience. To the Marines, as the Lance Corporal described, it was just another day in Iraq."
Is it terrible that the first thing I thought of when I read this was M. Bison?
On a serious note, this could be very interesting. Using the medium of video games as a way to explore real, modern issues like this isn't trivializing it in my mind, provided that it's done right. It remains to be seen whether or not it is done right, but the fact that actual Marines are involved adds some credibility.

gatorsax: That is not a terrible thing at all.

A regenerative health system seems to unrealistic to me. I don't want a health bard but I would like something else. Hopefully the to regenerate health you have to wait a substantial time unlike halo where after five seconds you are full health again.
What the heck? I thought this game was supposed to be realistic. Regenerating health, seriously? Or maybe what maybe Atomic Games meant to say was realistic STORY not gameplay.
This doesn't look so hot. What happened Konami? Can't you just use the Metal Gear Solid 4 engine which looks great? I mean Kojima Productions is a subsidiary of Konami afterall.
i want realistic gameplay like the original ghost recon and rainbow six 1 shot 1 kill. i loved that tense feeling of death in those games... hmmm almost done with the situation then bam right between the eyes and you'd have to start all over.

Screw Realism. We're playing bloody videogames. If you want realism in your games, have games give me full body control first. It sucks to call a game realistic yet give the player the real-life equivalent of tunnel vision.

Or they could do it like old Rainbow Six games where getting shot, you know, wounded or killed you.

Oh, and:
"Six Days looked like a Ghost Recon-type game where you’re moving around in third-person..."
Nothing gets me into the mind, and feeling of being a soldier somewhere like seeing the back of my own head.

sounds interesting enough. the question is if it will be more game-y or more towards realism when it's actually done.
I'm fully supporting this game still, as it would be nice to get a game where you play both sides, something many publishers/developers shy away from.
Ubi's GRAW series is one of my favourites on 360. If Konami can get that kind of feel right, I'll be buying this. Definitely, where this game is going to stand up, is in its realistic tales, which will put it above a lot of other games, and also strike a positive blow for games as a creative medium.
What nonsense you guys. An energy bar is just a tool for feedback to the user. While I'm sure, we'd all like to see a Dead Space style, on-character energy bar, you guys have to understand, Konami are still a japanese dev. As such, they tend to pay less attention to western games out there, naturally sometimes to their detriment. Either way, it matters not, so long as the game is fun. Medical or self healing options, would be a good way to go, like GRAW.
Also, how do you know this isn't using the MGS engine?
Anyway, while it might make some feel uncomfortable, indeed, go and watch Genreation Kill or Over There. Both have been out for a while and are no more or less trivial than this game. Overall, its still a positive move and I hope Konami reap the rewards of it.

I LOVED Generation Kill. This is one of my favorite scenes!
It could be the most realistic game ever made, but if it's not fun to play what's the point? I just looked at a wikipedia list of Konami games, because I couldn't think of any Konami game I've ever cared about, except Silent Hill... yep nothing I care about.
If it were any other major studio I'd be more excited.
..here's hoping, though :)

glad to read that you now have a change of heart and prefer fully body control over realism, cause that was your main argument before in the ID game entry 2 days ago. Welcome aboard ;)

So it's America's Army 3 vs. Six Days in Fallujah? Seems that way. One aiming for a realistic story and compelling experience, the other aiming for realistic gameplay and accurate combat.
I guess we'll see what people would rather see- the dark, gritty, morally ambiguous version of war (SDiF), or the pampered, jarhead, propaganda-driven version (AA3).

I feel like the discussion shouldn't be around whether the gameplay is accurate, but whether the game delivers a real dramatic telling of the war going on.
I would love to see a game cross the threshold from a one dimensional game experience to an emotional experience. One that tells a story, and have you feel the ravages of war. If they can pull off a "Blackhawk Down" movie feel into an interactive experience, then I think we finally reached a day when games are considered a respected medium where a poignant message can be delivered. If anything, a game should bring out an even more powerful emotional reaction than a movie since it is interactive.

I think that these family members aren't criticizing the game logically, but I think it's a bit irrational of Jim to disregard their emotions. Maybe they are looking for a scapegoat or just something to vent their anger and sadness on, but that's totally normal when their relatives died in Iraq. I think maybe give them a little more sympathy instead of just making fun of them.
