Hey Gaming Studios, Why Haven’t You Made A Game Based On Clarence B. Craft Yet?

Derangedshaman: Clarence B. Craft, was a United States Army Solider who under the most difficult situations pulled off the impossible. During World War 2, Craft than a Private First Class was stationed at Okinawa Island, Japan, where he single-handedly took out an entire Japanese held “Hen Hill”. The man was on a mission, he alone killed more than 25 enemy soldiers, by throwing grenades in rapid succession and gunning down anyone he deemed a threat. His actions turned the tide of the war in Japan, earning him the highest military prestige, the Medal Of Honor.

Nice story, I really enjoyed it. As a history major in college I'd love to see more historically accurate games. There are so many things in history that would be well created in videogames We get to live history through movies and the like (Patton, black hawk down, schindlers list...) when so many people look down on history cause it's just that, history, I'd love to see history become more relevant to the younger generations.

Passthemic4802d ago

Definitely, I would hate to see great stories like this be forgotten.

socomnick4802d ago

Killed 25 via nade spam :/ must have had a support near him giving him resupply boxes.

Passthemic4802d ago

Lol, this would make an epic game.

HebrewHammer4802d ago

Opening Credits - Kill 25 japs on a hill - end credits... Sounds like a genuine Game of the Year contender!

thrasherv34802d ago

He isn't the only hero that fought during a war. It's impossible to make a game about them all. So, every "real" war game is dedicated to all service men everywhere, thanking them for their service.

Passthemic4802d ago (Edited 4802d ago )

While I agree, certain events like "Hen Hill" needs to be told, whether through movies or games.

Dagobert4802d ago

Why? This guy was obviously a terrorist.

cali3344802d ago (Edited 4802d ago )

Two Decades Later, the Original Splinter Cell is Still a Masterpiece

They don't make games like this anymore.

Too dated in my book. The AI is way too unpredictable to be acceptable today. It's definitely a game of its time.

Jingsing4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

Agreed with those sentiments. The quality of the CPU controlled characters make or break a stealth game and they are pretty poor in all the Splinter Cell games by today's standard. This is what led me to playing Spies vs Mercs all the time in later games just to get a better stealth experience from a real person. Arguably Sony are making better stealth games albeit not Tom Clancy stuff.

You should stick with fortnite or one of the countless bloodborne style games then. What a joke.

rlow14d ago

I had a good time with the game. It is a product of its time. But when it came out it was a must have game for a lot of people. I wish Ubisoft would make another game in the series or at least a reboot.

vgvill3d ago

They are making a remake, I think. I loved the original game when it was released, but I tried to play it again in recent years and just couldn't get on with it. The same with the older Hitman games.

PrecursorOrb3d ago

Yeah chaos theory still holds up though I gotta say. If you’re a fan of the series I highly suggest you go back to that one. Ubi has said they are remaking sc for “modern audiences”. I don’t have a lot of faith for the future of that company

Chocoburger3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Due to the lack of modern stealth games, and me constantly playing the MGS series, I've been looking for alternative stealth games to play, and went back and re-played the SC series recently. I wouldn't call SC1 or SC:PT masterpieces, there are AI issues, they're very much trial-and-error games, and that can lead to a lot of frustration. I also found the stories in this series to be boring, uninteresting, and just sloppily told. Cinematics are also of poor quality for both in-game scenes and CG cut-scenes, the soundtrack didn't leave any impression on me either.

Chaos Theory is better, but there was still a lot of room for improvement, and Double Agent (old gen ver.) was a sloppy mess that ended up a regression from CT. But still, at least they tried back then, these days Ubi-junk doesn't even try to make good games!

A Matter Of Trust: What The Game Industry Should Do To Win Gamers Back

Skewed and Reviewed have written an Opinion Piece covering issues in the gaming industry, how current issues were issues years ago, and what can be done to help restore consumer trust.

anast9d ago

Nothing. It's up to the gamers to stop consuming content from companies that they don't agree with.

Garethvk9d ago

How do you know if you agree with it or not unless you play it? Which without conventions forces gamers to rely on trailers. Perhaps Demos should be made more frequently. But companies need to do better as well.

anast9d ago

Wait until release. Watch Gameplay. Exercise patience.

Garethvk9d ago

But is that not what they have now? Tons of gameplay or are you talking about watching actual gamers play it versus the trailers and streams? The big issue is that some companies pay streamers and influencers and they create content but for me; that is hardly a fair, unbiased, and factual look at a game.

1nsomniac9d ago

Get rid of the suits in the industry and job done!!

Garethvk9d ago

They usually are attached to the money sadly. It would be nice to have gamers in charge but you have so much money invested that business people are needed. Hence the issue; you need people who know business but are also gamers who know have an eye to the community. It sounds simple in theory that if you give gamers quality games that they want to play; money will be made. But that is not always so.
