Being a terrorist was to \"heavy\" for gamers

I asked many people and almost all said the idea of being a "terrorist" in a game.. so I am rethinking the concept. Even tho one mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter.. or Rebel Alliance.. but in todays age Terrorist seems to mean kill civilians for no reason.

I kinda feel like I am wimping out actually by dropping it, but if no one will play it... no need to do it.

Yeah, my guess is that you wouldn't be able to come right out and call the main character (or player) a terrorist. You would have to disguise it under the guise of being a 'freedom fighter' or 'rebel'. The 'cause' one would be fighting for would have to concur with the current population's moral take. Terrorist-anything right now probably wouldn't gel :)\r \r

If SouthPark can kill Steve Irwin with the barb of a stingray's tail, and gangsters can kill cops in GTA, you can have a game featuring terrorists.

At least you didn't release the game without researching the response first. That's cool.

@SirPoonga - ya thought it was better to ask.. better safe then sorry\r \r @CofC - I thought the same but the level of violence I wanted to go for would be hard to sell as a game where you are a terrorist. While I cant do the graphics the same as a new game (more like a Xbox 180 game).. it would still be pretty hard to sell the idea to players.
