Why is a US-soldier who got shot dead in ww1 more pitiable than a US-soldier who got shot dead by a taliban in 2015? Making games where you have to fight enemies in the desert in modern age is okay but making a game about ww1 is suddenly bad?

The problem isn't glorifying or dramatising. That's stupid to complain about that. There's countless films celebrating the people who gave their lives for the Great War.

The problem is the cheap, dumb exploitation of the war to sell a generic console shooter to braindead gamers.

Of course, that could just be the ad aimed at plebs and the actual game will be good.
>>
>>336854768
It was worse because all sides had better vehicles and technology in WWII, which lets them distance themselves more from the danger.

In WWI, most fighting was done by infantry on the ground. Not tanks, not planes. They were still new and unreliable.

As technology improved, every major conflict produced fewer and fewer dead.

Think back to the age of swords and shields. The only way to defeat your enemies was to get right up in their faces. Smashing together armies of bodies in a massive pointy mess of spears and blood. WWI was similar. Attacker had no choice but to build a bridge of corpses to overtake defensive positions.

Nowadays, we can crush armies remotely using unmanned planes armed with potent guided explosives. There's less need to march men to their certain deaths.

>>336854224
You can make games out of the glorious parts of war. That's because those games aren't based on the war, they're based on the movies about the war. What movie glorifies WW1? What period glorifies WW1? WW2 was seen as a necessary war, even if it had its own share of senseless brutality.

tl;dr, WW2 is romanticized, it's too late to do that with WW1

>>
>>336855148
WW2 games from that era were way way more respectful in their portrayal. Go watch a trailer for CoD 2. It still glorifies war to an extent, but more in the "death or glory" kind of way. Battlefield 1 has a dubstep version of 7 nation army playing while soldiers are depicted as badasses beating in the faces of their enemies and standing over their body.
>>
>>336855890
sooo the trailer is a cautionary tale about the potential future of weapons....but it's for black ops 2, which took that concept and ran with it in the opposite direction, saying WHOA ISN'T THIS FUCKING SICK
i don't get it, man
>>
>>336856247
you're right, there's a really clear difference in the tone that these games create about the war. early COD games and MOH were pretty respectful and accurate in their portrayal
>>
>>336855502
This. With WWII you could at least pretend that you are heroes fighting for the good of the Europe, but WWI was just objectively one messy, pointless and brutal cavalcade of giant empires screaming out their dying throes.

Of course practically all wars are pointless in reality, but with WWI it's just even more in-your-face type of pointlessness.
>>
>>336856247
Yeah, older war shooters had a strange heavy atmosphere that made you feel uncomfortable. The opening scene in Frontline, the abandoned cities and the frantic screaming of the Germans, not shouting to kill you but their desperation. It had a weird kind of respect for the era that made you unsettled instead of glorifying it.

Oh shut the fuck up. Not all German soldiers were nazis, and they had their women and families raped and killed all the same, forced to fight and protect their country. It's no fucking different. War is shitty, first person shooters depicting war is entertaining. That's just how it is
>>
>>336856374
Exactly. Take Call of Duty 1/2/3 for example. The levels were based on a desperate struggle, charging with all your named allies. Plus, those all took place on the most "tame" theater of the war for the most part. Western Europe was the cleaner part of the war. Even the Russian theater was treated with the utmost respect.

That's why the Pacific campaign in COD5 didn't work. It tried to turn a gritty, violent conflict into a glorious rah-rah conflict with absolutely no respect. "Ha ha, look at those japs burning."

It's honestly just a really sickening juxtaposition to me. Like the trailer is obviously meant to hype you up like a gym monkey, but it seems at no point did somebody stop to consider that maybe hype isn't the right emotion to feel about the very real 10+ million who died in the most fucked up major conflict of modern times.
>>
The real question is:

Is it acceptable to exploit something as expressly grotesque as war?

Is it more acceptable if there's a meaningful narrative?

Is it less acceptable if it's just a 1:1 retelling of the war?

And don't think of this only in the scope of video games.

Looks like you didn't read what I wrote correctly. I said that you could PRETEND that you were heroes, but I certainly didn't mean that it was so simple in reality.

The point was that WWI was so especially pointless that there's no material to even pretend anything, there were no big ideologies to mask your violence behind or anything like that, it was just a meat grinder. Of course WWII was just the same in reality, but it had such different undertones that it has allowed people to view it differently afterwards.

This. It shouldn't be made into games IMO. It wasn't even interesting or exciting fighting, it was huge crowds and armies of people choking to death on mustard gas unheriocally, huge groups dying for no reason. Guns rarely killed, they were used as deterrants, or to mow down rows of soldiers slowly walking towards the enemy whose instructions were to walk together and not run. It was meant to be intimidation but so many people died for no reason.

The Belgians could have just let them go through and the Germans could have completed the schlieffen plan and ended the war way earlier and prevented millions of deaths.

There were no villains in WW1. Just rampant nationalism and industrial level killing technology set off by some dumb Serbs killing the best friend they had in the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
>>
>>336857582
no it wasn't. the death toll was higher, but the actual way that soldiers died was far more gruesome and depressing in WWI.

Also take into account that before WWI, the biggest military conflict was Waterloo, which happened a century before. No one had any idea what war would be like when the Great War broke out, iit was a shock to the world to the core due to the massive technological and industrial leap compared to Napoleon's war.

While by the time WWII broke out, the world had a good conception for warfare on a mass scale.

I think it's fine as long as it at least tries to respect the suject material. Look at MoH on ps1/ps2, and the first 3 CoDs. They felt heavy as shit and you had a group of named allies with distinct personalities, not some modern cutscene companion who mysteriously disappears during gameplay and meets up with you at the end of the level. They weren't one-man army games, they felt dark and uncomforting and muddy and dark. The audio was gunfire and screaming, not dance remixes of punk rock music.

I don't even really have a problem with them making a game of it. I have actually wanted a legit WW1 shooter for a long time because I think it could be really compelling if done right. This trailer, along with slogging through the campaign of BF4 for some reason, very much gives the impression that it will be a total mockery. I thought it wasn't right when they did it in BF4, and that was a fictional conflict. It doesn't even have to necessarily be super realistic imo, just not a re-imagining and glorifying of war. At least in some older games they would present dying as the glorious act instead of killing, and I even thought that was typically in poor taste.

A real WW1 game could be pretty awesome. Have huge servers with large ticket counts where you just have to rush and respawn and react to scheduled artillery strikes and crawling artillery barrages, random gas attacks with wind changing the direction of it where you have to put on your mask which makes you have terrible visibility, cavalry charges, trench fighting when you get to the enemy trench, huge she'll holes filled with toxic sludge and dead bodies, destructible barbed wire barriers. Just make it suck, like it really did. I know it's just going to be a reskinned action movie though with an abundance of weapons that were really scarce though...

>he Germans wiped out scores of villages during their advance through Russia, and Jews and other minorities were regularly rounded up and shot or poisoned in mobile gassing vans. Other cities were looted or starved into submission, most famously Leningrad, where as many as one million civilians may have perished during a 28-month siege. The Red Army responded by giving no quarter during the Soviet push to Berlin in 1945, when hundred of thousands of German civilians were shot, burned alive in buildings, crushed by tanks and even crucified. According to some studies, Soviet troops may have also been responsible for the rape of some two million German women during the last days of the war.

Well, after Germany crossed their border, yes, the Belgian Army destroyed their infrastructure to hamper the Germans. Because they were at war, and the Germans were invaders. Once the Schlieffen Plan failed, the Germans occupied Belgium. That's where they started killing civilians.

Or was that justified by France not immediately surrendering to their aggressive neighbor?

I just think it's a shame that they had the opportunity to make one of the most powerful and emotional shooters out there and they took this approach instead. All they would've had to do was set up a likeable protag then put him through some accurate scenes with the toxic mud causing corpses to rot and smoke, artillery ripping your allies to pieces, your destination being pointless once you get there and there being no way out of it. If they take this approach it's going to be a less flashy modern warfare and it'll disappoint the players because the gun's won't be as fun to use. They had the budget and the manpower to make people interested about the events and make something special, but it's just a new skin for the same old thing.

I won't be playing this for the many reasons stated above. It's fine to have wubwub arcade explosions if you're in a fictional futuristic setting, but to do this with the most grim war we've ever known is disrespectful. Feel free to support it, but a very real scenario like this isn't the place to play as a one-man army mowing down countless enemies (all of which are scared civilians rounded up from the streets and forced to die)

I do too but Battlefield is not the series to do that kind of thing. The devs have already said they're basically shitting all over anything close to historical accuracy so there will be mainly machine guns being used or "prototypes" that never even came close to seeing action.

If you don't know the events, then it's understandable you'd think that. WW1 was on another level, and not in a way that would be remotely interesting or suited for a game. People choking to death as their lungs filled with acid, smoking rotting pits of the corpses of your allies spreading fumes over the area, seeing those a few feet ahead being ripped to shreds a few feet in front of you.. it wasn't even like we had a particular enemy, everyone just tried to defend themselves and did some sick shit along the way. I think vietnam is sick and not worth depicting either, both sides did some bad stuff that they wish they hadn't, but at least people know to be respectful about vietnam. Just because the last ww1 soldier died a few years ago it's not okay to open the floodgates to any crazy superhero depiction you want.

WWI was a disaster, a shame, a massive fuck up and also a massive fuck up built up from tension, pride, personal feelings and in general a whole generation being fucked up because of the previous generation. Celebrating WWI is bad but remember this is an interpretation, fantasy. Why aren't people freaking about the American civil war game on the NES? Perhaps because It's not the flavor of the month to get offended about.

I think the presentation has a lot to do with it. Most war games atleast try to come across as dark and horrible. BF1 looks like blatant exploitation of what is generally considered to be the worst conflict in human history. Maybe USA doesn't care as much but for Europe WW1 is culturally sensitive.

>In the same Wola district, Dirlewanger burned three hospitals with patients inside, while the nurses were "whipped, gang-raped and finally hanged naked, together with the doctors" to the accompaniment of the traditional song "In München steht ein Hofbräuhaus". .[6] Later, "they drank, raped and murdered their way through the Old Town, slaughtering civilians and fighters alike without distinction of age or sex."[7] In the Old Town – where about 30,000 civilians were killed – several thousand wounded in field hospitals overrun by the Germans were shot and set on fire with flamethrowers.[6] Reportedly, "the Dirlewanger brigade burned prisoners alive with gasoline, impaled babies on bayonets and stuck them out of windows and hung women upside down from balconies."

Shit like that doesn't even sound real. It sounds like a parody of what truly evil people would do.

My great grandfather was an island hopper that apparently saw some stuff. He died of cancer 3 years before I was born. But, what has always stuck to me is what my father told me about him. When my father asked him what it was like on the islands, he told him that he hopes God forgives them for what they did on the islands, and said nothing else about it.

That being said I love to play me some RO2 and set fire to Japs. Fiction is fiction. Reality is reality. Seems people still need to learn the difference.
