how does this game have a mature rating? I don't think it was submitted to the ESRB or the Canadian or European counterparts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CaptainAmerica (talk • contribs)

Traffic Games Status; Comment on Game

The last I heard, they were planning on coming out with a driving simulator next. However, I don't think they released anything since this game came out. If you go to the JFK reloaded website, it just has a single frontpage which comments on 'history' being made on November 2004 (when they released the game) and also about the "legacy" of JFK.

I have to say -- this game sickens my heart. It really does. I realize the importance of free speech, free press, free thought, free assembly, etc. I suppose that extends to computer games as well. But ... I'm literally sad inside just writing this. I think a lot of the commentary that came out on this game wasn't from people who were even alive when the assassination happened.

The loss of the President of the United States. The loss of John F. Kennedy. The loss of the "Kennedy" years.

Each of these was and is a tragedy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.161.161.22 (talk • contribs)

  • You should play it. As much as it may sicken you, you should try to realise that this is emphatically not designed to be fun. JFK Reloaded is far from a trivialisation of the events of November 22nd 1963, and to describe it as a "game" is stretching an already abused word too far. Rather, it is a complex ballistics simulator, designed to teach the "player" one thing: The official explanation of Kennedy's assassination is, if not physically impossible, so hard to reproduce as to be practically impossible. I admit, I'm only 25 and I'm not a US citizen, but I am interested in history and human rights, and no-one can deny Kennedy's massive influence as a force for good in the world, and the magnitude of his assassination in global terms. JFK reloaded is designed to allow the curious to investigate this seminal historical event more fully. YourMessageHere 18:51, 10 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • On the contrary, I find it quite fun (as did most of the other people at the forum where I got it). It's a very well designed given how limited it is, and there's a fair degree of humour to be found in the erratic AI behaviour. I actually wouldn't mind seeing a sort of "snipers of the world" expansion with multiple scenarios. Bear in mind I'm not an American and don't care much about JFK.

  • I had thoughts similar to that of the first poster before I played the the game, but its no more than a historical study tool, me thinks. Sure, some werid people can (excuse my language) 'get off on it' but to normal people, I think its just a historical simulator. When the game first booted up, and the screen said "Dalley Plaza, November 22rd, 1963" I got chills down my spine, and again when the motorcade came around the building. Its an absolute creepy and bizarre feeling. -- CaptainAmerica

Purpose?

According to the company, the primary purpose of the game is to help prove that the Warren Commission's theory is correct, and to debunk all of the alternate theories.

That's wierd, I would think their purpose would be the exact opposite, given how hard it is to replicate the actual shots. No one won the contest, right?

Not only did nobody win, it's actually impossible-even though Traffic Games actually CHEATED to make it easier. It's impossible to die just from a high number of wounds-you have to actually hit in a critical point. Bullets riochet more easily than they do in reality. The scope is not mis-calibrated, as Oswald's was.

It's fairly obvious that Oswald's scope got mis-calibrated when he dropped the rifle and fled the scene, not beforehand. I mean, the man was a Marine sharpshooter. He knew what the fuck he was doing. 72.224.126.139 12:21, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]


how was oswald's scope mis-calibrated? he was shooting down...


Non-neutral P.O.V.?

The part about Lee Harvey Oswald being kennedy's supposed assassin?

He can be the alleged assassin in the articles that address the assassination, but this deals with a video game where he is supposed to be the assassin. I prefer the use of "supposed" over "alleged". cookiecaper (talk / contribs) 07:37, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]


The FAQ from JFKReloaded.net

Hopefully this might answer some questions people have about the game. You can see the original site (www.jfkreloaded.net) at www.archive.org. Johnny "ThunderPeel2001" Walker 14:27, 19 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

How it works

Wikipedia is not supposed to be a manual. There is way too much detail in there.--Drat (Talk) 03:08, 30 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Release Date Fixed
