I'm wondering if it would even be legal to sell a game where you mass murder non-zombie people of a certain race.

it's funny how this was reported, because you could pass the mission without shooting at all, but plenty of people went ahead and did it anyway

american-market cars also deploy their airbags more rapidly and with greater force than european- or japanese-market models. this is because in other countries, the airbags are considered secondary restraint systems that work in concert with the seatbelts. in america, regulations say that the car must be able to protect its occupant even if they choose not to wear their seatbelt, so the airbags must inflate faster and harder to keep a potentially unbelted occupant in place during a collision event. this increases injuries caused by airbag activation, which further feeds into the concept that airbags (and seatbelts) "take more lives than they save", perpetuating the cycle

or you could skip the mission anyway, it has no impact other than to go "you, the gamer, are one sick gently caress. wow."

murder games used to draw from a pool of the few universally acceptable murder targets: aliens, robots, nazis or demons

then we got zombie games and it was like, okay, there's some hidden racism here but i guess on the surface level it's not that objectionable

then terrorists became the enemy du jour and like, uh oh, they're all brown and speak arabic, umm

in any sort of self defense or firearms context, "zombies" are universally understood to be black people

let's not rehash this entire discussion again but it is the term that republicans use instead, print on targets, etc that's "P.C. enough for those drat libs, they wont ever get it anyway"

but when the zombie apocolypse comes, (civil war or w/e), they're prepared to fight off the 'zombies'

i don't remember if there was a warning before the level loaded but i do remember that when you started a new game it asked you if you would be ok with sensitive subjects or something but didn't explicitly say, like, "you're gonna murder some civilians who won't fight back is that cool y/n"

i played like half of that game and iirc it does tell you right before the level in question that it may be offensive, and that you can skip it without penalty if you want. it doesn't tell you that if you do play it, you still don't actually have to shoot anyone.

Hey you... I got something to tell ya
Biscuit Hider
Trashing the movement tech is certainly short-sighted, even if its benefits aren't obvious. This is a computer learning by itself how to interact with a physical world by experimentation. Imagine having this poo poo on a machine sent on mars and one of its parts gently caress up: it can learn how to cope by using whatever that's still working. The examples shown might not have had factors where parts were to be considered more sensitive, but the base is there. Their mistake wasn't them skimping on the possibilities, it was showing it to the angry old art man and expecting him to understand the ramifications of this technology.

As for using it in videogames: it might look bad to use straight up, but it can complement good-looking simulation systems to make it more flexible. Make your shootyman look good running around on the ground, and use this stuff to modify what's already there to make your shootyman also look good while dealing with stairs, slopes or whatever exotic situation.
