So... I just calculated the percentage of black victims in the trailer (close-up shots only) because I wanted to reiterate what I think is being overlooked by a lot of people here.
Well, it's 66.6. I'll just leave that out there.

Is there a release date yet?
I would say it's just because of the internet, but that's not true. My natural conversation mode is 'detached sarcasm,' so I'm kind of screwed either way

I had a drawn out rebutal to what you posted here..but your tag saved me the trouble, you're just playing devils advocate because you're bored most likely.

Eagerly awaiting a love mod where you run around giving mad love to people with rainbows and hearts and sugar and spice and everything nice.

Could be interesting, although The Farm 51 put out a ton of shit games so I'll wait for impressions to hit before I think about picking it up.

Officially the first game I don't want to play because it's too sketchy/violent.
Wasn't sure this day would come.
I felt terrible watching that trailer.

Pretty sure I saw a white woman getting killed too, during the part of the trailer set in a park, so I don't believe your targets are exclusively non-whites. Assuming the game is set in New York and I am basing this on the NYPD location, is having varied race really a problem? Very clearly the game is focused on killing everybody in sight, not a particular race or valuing one race at the expense of all else. Being offended by minorities being killable only works if your sole targets are minorities, as that begins to project false ideas like a "superior" and "inferior" race. Most games that give you the freedom to kill who you want typically have people of various ethnicity, like the games I cited earlier. Nothing in that trailer gave the direct impression that this game would try to change that up and exclude one and make the game about taking out all of the rest.
Regarding the developer supporting neo-Nazism, I was speaking only on the merits of the game, not a person working on the game. People can very clearly be bothered by that, and if it appears to have a major influence on the product, one can be bothered by that.
I never bothered to play it. Care to elaborate?

Polish death metal* fan, I'd wager. This game reeks of that. It's like Deicide made a game.
So wait. When you have an enemy attempting to kill you, as in the Uncharted games, that's not at least somewhat justifiable? I would think the fact that there is an enemy attempting to end your (digital) existence kind of gives you the justification.
Considering the narrative track that the UC games follow, where Drake is initially attempting to procure and artifact, and then discovers some plot that will make kill/enslave hundreds of thousands of people, and is subsequently pursued by the villain and his/her army of mercenaries... I would say yes, his killings are justified. He's not going to their houses and killing their families.

So, it's kind of like the Drawn Together of video games in that Drawn Together never tried to make a point for being crass and disturbing. It just wanted to be those things and have fun.
I love that cartoon.
This is doing the same for violence, but man, that's a bit harder to get behind than stupid fart jokes.
Though the end result of this is: it'll appeal to a bunch of people that frequent 4chan who will then pirate the game. I really don't see a great financial gain from this. Not that people should go making projects for money, but money is kind of a nice return. But this, I feel like anyone even interested in it will just hit up a torrent site.

I don't like the premise of the game. Reminds me to a lot of real cases :/
Which is a shame because it actually looks fun to play. Just make the people zombies goddamn it why use normal people.

Is it strange that I didn't flinch at all watching the trailer?
To me, everything looks too cartoony. The main character already announces he's a screwed up person, so where's the shock value?
It really doesn't feel any different to other games where you have a gun and still shoot people.

Ah. I take back my other "erring on the side of caution" post.
I assume these are the same ilk as the English Defence League?
I keep seeing this and it kind of baffles me. Battlefield 4 might be military pap but you really don't see the difference between fighting enemy soldiers and brutally executing random civilians for pleasure?

I actually agree. I don't think Gaf is the place for religion or politics. Like the pub.

Honestly, this game just looks like you are Rob Zombie's Michael Myers with guns.
I have a feeling if this game's context was to play a horror movie villain, there wouldn't be such an outrage.

Although, just to clarify - assuming the Polish Defence League is the same as the British EDL, they're not technically a "hate group". They kind of rose up in response to some nonsensical left-wing/Muslim/media bullshit thing that seems to be sweeping people along at the minute.
Generally, they're the right-wing version of the British UAF (Unite Against Fascism). Lots of demonstrations and shouting with nary a braincell amongst them. Harmless, if distasteful, bunch.
Or as my mate puts it; "Grown men playing at being soldiers".
At least they were until we got the Kings of Clownshoes "Britain First". Ho hum.
