"Atomic Games' controversial shooter Six Days in Fallujah is ready to roll out.
A source close to the game's development confirmed to IGN this morning the title is still planned for release, though no expected release date or publisher was named.
"I can promise you that game is still coming out and it is finished," the source said."
"Despite these setbacks, Atomic boss Peter Tamte remains determined to finish the $US20 million project with alternate funding.
"We have a lot of people who are interested in the project," Mr Tamte told Newsweek.
"But I'll feel better when we sign something and the cheques start coming.""
"The news broke out as a Konami spokeperson said that the big-time publisher had received many complaints via email and phone, and therefore has decided not to sell it. However this doesn’t mean we have seen the last of the game, the developer could just as easilly find another publisher to buy it, and hopefully they will. If you have games based strictly around the first and second world war in which millions upon millions of people died, why can’t we now create one based on the Iraq war?"
""It appears that the controversy surrounding the announcement of Konami’s latest project, Six Days in Fallujah, a game about the war in Iraq, has changed things a bit inside the company who is now unsure if it would be good to publish the title in Europe. And if they don’t because of the protests, it’s clearly a huge loss for the gaming world, the freedom of speech and everything that has a sense in this world…""
OXCGN continues the investigation of the game being published by Konami and developed by Atomic Games, Six Days In Fallujah. A game set in the small town in Iraq during the 2004 confrontation.
The video is with Peter Tamte, President of Atomic Games discussing the principles behind the game, and the all new game engine required for the game in order for it to represent the gameplay required by the Marines. You have to admire the vets for taking this one by the horns and running with it.
