That's probably the smartest thing I've heard them say so far. $100000 to the player who best recreates how JFK was wounded.what the F!?!? May there be shame on person who participates in that. That would be too much.īut nothing, nothing even comes close to the absurdity of the contest they are offering. I could NOT imagine walking into an EB Games, just to see people attempting to kill a virtual representation of a past family member, over and over and OVER. Now I really feel sorry for the Kennedy's. I mean sure, maybe it will kill some of the theories that surrounded the way he was shot (Like multiple shooters, firing remotely placed guns, using a pistol, and so on), but still. Honestly though, I can't imagine how this game could be "Educational" at all. Now this is the first time I've ever heard of a company named Traffic, and I hope it's the last. I mean, not even Rockstar would try and pull that kind of game off. children to know their History, but like this. Has this company gone far? I think it is a tad bit out of line. Now to make matters worse Traffic is offering money to who can recreate this. I put this question to how would you feel to have someone in your family or a close friend death is turned into a video game? To know that that some people out there are going to go out and buy, than try recreate this death would just sicken me. Now to me this just horrified me and the Kennedy family has a right to be very upset by this. Smith would not comment on whether the family is taking any action to stop the game's release. Kennedy spokesman David Smith says the senator's office started getting calls about the game on Friday. Traffic says the game challenges players to recreate the three shots fired at the president's car by assassin Lee Harvey Oswald from the Texas School Book Depository. The game was due to be released on the 41st anniversary of the shooting of President Kennedy in Dallas. The Scottish-based firm Traffic says "JFK Reloaded" is an educational "docu-game" that will help debunk conspiracy theories about President Kennedy's death. Video Game Recreates JFK AssassinationĪ spokesman for Massachusetts senator Edward Kennedy is calling a new video game "despicable."Ī British company is releasing a game that recreates the 1963 assassination of President Kennedy, the senator's brother. This is one that I found on a local radio station site. I wasn't able to catch the entire program so I went on the web to find an article about. The point of this on is to recreating t he death of the American President John F. Now this isn?t your normal run of the mill video game. What made me stop was about a new video game. While flipping around the channels this morning I stopped at the news.
