Six Days In Fallujah Still Breathing

I was quite excited when I heard that this game was in development. I was also realistic and expected a lot of opposition to the game. That is why I was not all that disappointed when I heard that Six Days In Fallujah was being pulled out by Konami. After all, the battle occurred in very recent history, and the resulting wounds are still fresh.

A few months after the announcement about the pull out, however, we are treated to the news that the developer still has plans to continue with the production. Yes, the project is still breathing – albeit faintly. Atomic Games is the developer for this project and big boss Peter Tamte has declared that he is determined to see this project to the end – all $20 million worth of it.

He said that talks have been going on with alternative sources for funding. He also says that there are many people interested in the game. As of now, nothing is definite yet, and the developer has yet to sign a deal with a funder. The will to live is there, though.

Tamte further assures the public that they will not be using the faces and likeness of fallen heroes in Fallujah. According to him, real life Marines have actually asked them to create such a game to celebrate their valor, but out of respect for the dead, they will not be including them in the game. Fair enough? I don’t know if it will pacify everyone but it looks like we’re going to see this game sometime in the (far) future.
