Really? http://www.thewrap.com/apocalypse-now-video-game/ Part of me is kind of horrified, part of me isn't - not sure which part to listen to.
I am surprised it's taken this long. Also, Mr Coppolla apparently as new idea about making games if he think $800k (after KS fees) and three years is enough. I sincerely hope it fails. Both because the project sounds dumb and because it violates my 'no worrking prototype, no back,' rule for crowdfunding. Money for fluffy words and promises, I think not.
I feel like, if this somehow doesn't fall flat on its face, this is going to be another Spec Ops: The Line deal where everything is so horrifying and too real "Most games put players in the roles of soldiers for the thrill of taking down bad guys ranging from Nazis to zombies (and even Nazi zombies). Francis Ford Coppola’s film, on the other hand, focuses on the horror and absurdity of war."
