You think you can take me at Satan's Hollow? Go 'head on!
After you kill each person, the game goes into an unskippable cutscene where you drive out to their funeral and are surrounded by the victim's grieving family. While you're at the funeral you can't use any weapons, and the attack button has been replaced with a "hug" button.

:qq: "I HATE that you're grieving, and I'm filled with HATRED at your loss. If there's anything I can do to make up for all the HATE I've caused, let me know." :qq:

vv That's the joke

So making this game would be most comparable to making a movie about a wanton mass murderer, explicitly for the purpose of sympathizing with the mass murderer over their victims

Also a fun game, try and guess who made both of these movies before you click on the links.

Without taking a side either way, I'm idly curious as to what the response would have been if Hatred had been a game about a Valerie Solanas type going around with the specific goal of killing all men. And don't make it any different than Hatred, you can still kill women but maybe have the sound bites be different for killing men vs. killing women.

It would probably still suck since the gameplay footage looks absymal thus far.

Regardless, I was talking about the response to the content itself. Personally I think it would overall be more negative, the people already condemning the game would still condemn it and at least some of the people defending it would be against it.

But that game's legit funny in the way the creator intended.

http://www.polygon.com/2014/12/18/7417045/hatred-free-speech-and-one-developers-connections-with-polands-far here is a polygon article that is relevant to the video game being discussed in this thread :tipshat:

Man, that article starts out great and then just keeps getting better. "I'm no fascist!" says Marcin Kazmiercz, FX artist for Hatred, shortly before he plans to attend a pro-fascism parade. :allears:

I'd be more surprised if their is even a single polish shooter game developer without far right connections.

I don't know, maybe you could dig up something on Techland if you really try. Let us know!

What about left-wing extremists? Would it be ok for them to make videogames?

Second Life is pretty much a Socialist utopia and it's been made fun of plenty here on the forums, so...

Neither was Hatred. There is no evidence to that effect beyond there apparently having been one dev that clicked the 'like' button on facebook .

I know, I know, you really hate Neo-Nazis. At the core of it, that's not a bad thing! However when you are so eager to hate on Neo-Nazis you will attack anyone some idiot (or group thereof) said was a Neo-Nazi... you are cheapening the cause of hating on Neo-Nazis by becoming nigh as blind as they tend to be.

Well you see, they're not neo-Nazis but they are fascist sympathizers and probably complete dickheads, and their game looks boring so I'm not buying it.

I'm not buying it either, though every time someone says it won't sell at all I am tempted to just to demonstrate the objective falsity.

Unsurprisingly, response over at Running With Scissors' forums has been mostly positive, as serious Postal fans who actually took the time to register and post on the RWS forum really like games about murdering people. Who'd have thunk it?

So the game has an audience, for what it's worth, and it'll probably be a minor cult hit. If it looks any good I'll buy it in a Humble Bundle provided there's some hilariously incongruous charity to donate to. Like if all proceeds go to provide food and shelter (and/or video games) to Palestinian refugees.

Their logo is the Doom logo font but greyscale.

On a related note, everybody go out and play Grezzo 2 instead of Hatred. It's actually funny, better made and more free than Hatred.

Can't talk about Polish violent games and not mention Franko: The Crazy Revenge



Nazis all the way down

Man, I'd heard about this game but I didn't actually look up any videos to see it in action. The soundtrack sounds like something out of Hotline Miami, I'd bet that games like Franko were probably a big inspiration to Cactus when designing the game. Probably inspired his indie solo projects too, they all sort of have that handdrawn, crude and unfinished aesthetic to them with a lot of swearing, violence or just plain weirdness.

At this point, the meltdowns over the game getting greenlit seem to be just as, if not more than, entertaining than the game itself:

It'd probably end up like the Polygon review of Tropico V, where the reviewer felt he had the blood of literal children on his hands from playing the game.

I had to look that up...

Polygon posted:

BLOOD ON THE SAND

During loading screens players are treated to a series of gorgeous oil-paintings, the kind you might pick up yourself at a roadside stand on some tropical island. Each one has a sentence or two that shares some lighter anecdotes about infamous dictators. Instead of injecting levity into the game, they only served to darken the mood.

The game sells itself as an escape from the confines of traditional city-building video games that take themselves too seriously. But then in this game you can watch as soldiers run from your palace, kick in the doors of private homes and shoot dissenters in their sleep. Then, you can look at the individual family trees and confirm that you have made their partners into widows and orphaned their children.

It was hard for me to get perspective on all the charming quirks of Kim Jong Il, Envar Hoxha and Nicolae Ceaușescu — people who I was imitating in the game — when I knew that they were responsible for the rape, murder and enslavement of many thousands, perhaps even millions of real people. Instead of making me chuckle, Tropico 5 constantly reminded me of all the blood staining my hands.

Hahahaha that is loving priceless. It'll be worth Hatred coming out just to be able to see the exact moment in the review where the writer has a stroke.

I've never read a review where I've seen a reviewer being such a huge pussy. It really is hilarious, though I don't know how a person like that actually functions if a video game bothers him that much.

I mean, it's alright if doing bad things in a game makes you take a very brief pause to go "wow, that's hosed up" but that should be the extent of it. You shouldn't break down and start shaking because the Big Mean Game forced you to send the Secret Police to someone's house to kill their family.
