Days after T-Enterprise announced that it would release its controversial Guantanamo Bay game over Xbox Live if it couldn't find a publishing partner, the Scottish developer has cancelled the project.
Slated for release in January 2010, the title has been cancelled about a quarter of the way through development.
Propaganda. It's that thing that's all around us and is probably bad for you, but no one gives a shit, except for one man because he's all out of gum: [audience laughs]. Okay, that probably wasn't a John Oliver-worthy opening, but propaganda in video games is real and has influenced many a game since the inception of the industry itself.
Developer of controversial title reaches out to publishers – as it distances release from Six Days In Fallujah.
The developer of a controversial new game that centres around detention camp Guantanamo Bay has told MCV that it will release the title over Xbox Live in October if it can't find a publishing partner.
Edinburgh-based T-Enterprise said that it didn't want to be known as an 'extreme' studio due to the creation of Rendition: Guantanamo on Xbox 360, adding that it wasn't concerned by any reluctance in the publishing community following Konami's decision to drop Six Days In Fallujah.
T-Enterprise has recruited former Guantanamo detainee Moazzam Begg to assist with the creation of the game – which has already garnered coverage in The Daily Star, The Telegraph, The Sun and more.
Former Guantanamo Bay detainee Moazzam Begg will take the starring role in a new computer game based on life at the prison camp.
Begg, from Birmingham, was captured by the CIA and thrown in jail at Guantanamo Bay in 2003.
The 41-year-old, who was released in 2005, will now feature as himself in the game for Microsoft's Xbox 360.
In the game, players control a detainee at the camp, which has been sold by the US Government to a shadowy agency called Freedom Corp.
or about him figuring out how to blow himself and everyone around him with a spork, a shoe lace and 30lbs of boiled eggs.
as for waterboarding, don't knock it till you try it, torture...LOL.
torture is listening to Obama speak for an hour about the economy.
Good thing too. I don't want Games being used a tool to further ones own political agendas.
That goes for any political agenda too.
