Do you think they'll ever make an Iraq War video game?

Question

I'm talking about the current Iraq War, not the one in the early 90s

Answer 1

Yeah I think they will, but it might be 20/30 years down the road. Its too current to really have a good market for, and since its so controversial, it wouldn't do well right now. Down the road, however, I'm sure it would sell well

The problem is, how would they make it? What would the war be like? In COD3 and the like, its always these fierce battles and stuff. But in Iraq its more car bombs and guerrilla fighters. It'd be a difficult game to make. Good question...

Answer 2

There are video games portraying the World Wars and other games portraying ancient wars. I'm sure that one day the wars of the Middle East will be considered for video games. I think it will not be any time soon, otherwise it will get a lot of bad publicity because of angry consumers, because the event is so current

Answer 3

Yes there already is. It's called the Iraq War Virtual Reality Video Game, complete with interactive satellite links and remote central command control. You can buy it at the cost of $800 Billion. G W Bush and Cheney really enjoyed playing it from within the Pentagon secret bunker. Whoops!, My four Apache helicopters just shot down. Must be the damn joystick!...

Answer 4

They already did. It's called Operation Desert Storm 2: the return, or something.

Answer 5

Yes. But America won't make it. The Japanese will. These things sell you know. Why the hell should the Asians care?

Answer 6

I wonder if the video game will include images such as these:
