Speak Arabic do you? ;)

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

The mutual rivalry (for piling up of worldly things) diverts you, (1) Until you visit the graves (i.e. till you die). (2) Nay! You shall come to know! (3) Again, Nay! You shall come to know! (4) Nay! If you knew with a sure knowledge (the end result of piling up, you would not have been occupied yourselves in worldly things) (5) Verily, You shall see the blazing Fire (Hell)! (6) And again, you shall see it with certainty of sight! (7) Then, on that Day, you shall be asked about the delights[] (you indulged in, in this world)! (8)

i will probably join an arabic gaming company when i finish my studies!! am very excited for this game, arabs have many nice stories that r very different from western or japanese!!
i hope they make this game as a ps3 exclusive :P!!!

we have special art, special cloths, behavior, look etc so we might just see something refreshing in the gaming industry for the first time!! and by special i mean its special because its not seen in gaming before

[Leord]

Heh, any relationship to that "massacre"-game? =P

[Wuushu]

If this won't teach me arabic, nothing will!

[Maticus]

Certainly interesting, thanks for the heads up

[thetamer]

Yeah, it is. The Middle East is a weird place for games.

[ape007]

am from saudi arabia and nearly everyone love to play games

[Honolulu]

Aren't the price tags on games and consoles sky-high in Saudi Arabia?
Or is it like in South America where piracy is more like the norm?

[rookeagle]

For a new high profile game 66$ to 93$ USD

[ape007]

yes games are a bit higher

I bought the force unleashed for 260 saudi ryal,nearly 75$

but guess what,other thing are cheaper than outside

cola(without mentioning brands) in ksa is like 0.3$

nearly 80% of ksa gamers have pirated games

xbox 360 and wii pirated games,but ps3 still not cause of blu-ray,am sure one more year and ps3 will be copied

[Marcus Fenix]

and we play games like hell, about 60% of the gamers here are into soccer and racing games, then come shooters and RPGs, im a shooter/RPG guy, I hate sport games, and unfortunately alot of pirating is done here but my console isn't pirated.

[ItsDubC]

I used to live in Saudi Arabia. I remember buying Chrono Trigger for the equivalent of $90 USD lol. Of course, it was well worth it.

[infekt]

Thats awesome! The more game developers/publishers, the better for gamers. And we might get unique plots from different perspectives. This looks promising.

[militant07]

cool i will try it

[Mad_Rhetoric]

Im down for anything middle eastern

[Honolulu]

Cool, may work well if it's properly localized.
One thing I would like to see more of though is games based on mythologies from the old Persian and Arabic cultures. There's so much cool stuff like Djinns, Efreets and a whole plethora of lore from old Mesopotamia. :)

[Marcus Fenix]

I still can't figure it out!

[thewhoopimen]

True... no one's really unlocked China's either... which is just as old. And no orange chicken doesn't count.

[Erdrick]

you guys are idiots, the "baka laka daka, mohammad jihad" sh*t is from the movie Team America, by the guys who do southpark. sheesh, have a sense of humor.

oh, and freedom costs a buck o' five.

[thewhoopimen]

I know where it comes from but I still think it's f*ed up. So what's your point?

[Erdrick]

my point is you're an idiot for not finding that funny.
