Hot new title from the makers of..... well anyway, new game at respectively titled website (that would be www.jfkreloaded.com )in which you attempt to shoot JFK, first person shooter style, and recreate the actual assasination.
Thoughts?
The only gripe i have is the scammish way in which the developers hope to siphon money out of peoples pockets. You have to pay money each time just to shoot at JFK, for a chance to win a theoretical $100,000. However that money only exists if people actually pay to play the game. So you could pay all damn day, and end up only winning 100 bucks. The only way to win is to match nanosecond for nanosecond the exact timing and degree of the shots as calculated by their analyzing software. Basically, computer timeline recorded accuracy, thus impossible.

i dl'ed the demo, which is useless because you cant do anything except watch the car go by. Pay 10 bucks and you can actually shoot and get all the other features. As well, you get 10 shots at the jackpot. i googled for a key to unlock it anyways, but I havent found one yet. I dont care about the jackpot, but if the gore is realistic, I would want to see what it looks like.

well judging by the screenshots, the game is using a pretty dated engine. I doubt youre gonna get any more realistic than red polygonal triangles flying in the air with particles all around.

yeah, that is the feeling I get as well. Therefore, not worth my 10 US, (10,000 CDN)
|
There was more than one killer. Lee Harvey Oswald was just a scapegoat.
|
hehe, i thought part of the intent of the game was to maybe disprove the oswald concept as well. Like, an impossible game where you realise after playing that theres no way you can do it heh.

Man, why would someone want to shoot JFK? Certain other political presences, perhaps, but JFK? :/

This is free now. and NSFW.

I find it interesting as I think a lot of people would be troubled that this game exists and is quite as ... graphic as it is.
I find it fascinating as a cultural artifact, a piece of media about a historical event, one which has been so controversial.
I think it's a really great game, if a little disturbing and NSFW.
My high score is 422.
+ Show Spoiler +This is almost off topic so I spoilered... but it reminded me of a documentary which attempted to debunk JFK conspiracy theories, in it a man called Dale Myers created a simulation based off of film footage footage. I think the fact that he created what looks a hell of a lot like this video game is on topic, but the documentary itself is off. Skip to 7:30 to go right there. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7184933155238761777

Why would someone create such a game in the first place....

I think the goal is to recreate the shot and you are scored based on how many details of the warren commission report you reproduce but yeah it is kinda morbid ... but at least they didn't nerf snipe.

lol I played this game so long ago love to see a thread about it
|
Because it's interesting? Because it's challenging?
Why make a general sniping game where each bullets path and striking points were measured and reported back to you?
Why make a game about a historical event, something that really happened and was recorded and now reproduced as accurately as possible?
Would you ask the same question of a game about the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand?

Epic bump and epic game o.O
|
everyone who downloads this game or buys it likely is on the FBI/CIA watchlist. ;-)
|
Along with anyone who rents the wrong library books. Probably...

This is actually one of the most amusing games i've ever played... don't bother about shooting JFK... start shooting the tyres of the lead cars/motorbikes and watch as cars flip/jump and do all kinds of crazy crap :D
We did this at a lan party: who can make the most entertaining run in JFK:R, it led to some amusing results 
sweet jesus i can't stop laughing :D

It is a really good, if pretty gruesome game. Whether you are just messing around or trying to be as accurate to real life as possible every shot from your gun is recorded in incredible detail (even if sometimes the results are weird or glitchy). When messing around it reminds me a lot of Porrasturvat. When trying to be accurate it reminds me that my high score is 422 and apparently TL is filled with bitches.

You go to hell for playing this?
