Men of Valor Interview

the fire reflection on the water is awesome... don't think i've seen many games that reflect the effects as well as the level+characters

As long as I can play as the VC and blow Kerry's swift boat out of the water with a well-placed RPG, I'll be happy.

A superpower pounding on a little Third World country (more bombs were dropped on Vietnam than the total munitions dropped by all sides in World War 2) for several years is "valor"?

Who knew.

Men Of Valor: No one's done a Vietnam game, yet.

i dont understand the whole politic thing that people get involved in when talking about games. it seems that games take a big hit from people getting political over other forms of media. it could be that im closer to the gaming scene than others and i just miss it, but i wonder how people posting things feel about other media.

basically i see alot of people in this thread talking about how they wont play a game that is based on such a war. my question is, do these same people not watch movies like "full metal jacket" or "we were soldiers". if you watch a movie but wont play a game, that seems very hypicritical to me. they are both forms of media/entertainment, but for some reason, it seems that games are considered the devil by people while the same thing gets oscars in movies. also, i know the vietnam war is a hard pill to swallow in general, but if you wont play a vietnam game , do you play a WW2 game? i know they are totally different in terms of outcomes and reasons, but at the end of the day, they are the same, WAR. and for the most part, war is bad, it can bring good, but from that good, bad, bad things happen.

my point, its a game, have fun with it. atleast while playing a game, you get to take part in the outcome of things. in a movie, you just watch it and take it for what it is. me personally, id rather play and have some fun, than just rant on a forum about how i wont play something cause its political, when in fact, the people probably saying that, havent even ever voted. if you want your voice truly heard, this just isnt the place. just have some fun.

I started losing interest in this when they announced the XBox version as being first out before the PC when this was announced for the PC first. Being a PC based engine and all.

But after hearing about them actually improving the visuals and not just being a lame XBox to PC port... and seeing the current screenshots I think I might be interested again.

I wonder if there's anyone in these companies that are worried about having such a generic title for their game? I mean...

Men of/Medal of/Badge of/Call of/Call to/Band of/Battle of

Honor/Courage/Duty/Brothers/Valor

Just use that and you've got 15 different game titles, none of which tell you really anything about the game. I had to read the interview to remember that this game was set in Nam.

hey sweet, I live in Broken Arrow!

Shack: How different are the PC and Xbox versions of the game, does either platform come with additional content?

John Whitmore: You can do a lot more on the PC, especially with graphics and multiplayer

and co-op

Medal of Honor: Allied Assault was made with the QUAKE3 engine.

Which engine did they use this time ?

"Shack: The game has already been rated as "Mature". Is this just blood/violence related or are there other adult themes as well?

John Whitmore: Men of Valor contains an amount of blood and violence appropriate to the subject matter, and tries to be authentically portray the atmosphere of the war. Language can be very profane, as you would imagine in a situation where people are shooting at you. There are instances of drug and alcohol use, and overall, the tone of the game is as mature and serious as the best movies on the subject."

Men of Valor looks and sounds great, and I can't wait to get my hands on it for gameplay. John Whitmore has great words for this game, and if they do the game justice, this will be the best Vietnam game yet to come.

Do you get to play charlie in this game? ME GONNA SHOOT YOU ROUND EYE!

The game came out? Where was I?

Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault was the game that put the Tulsa, Oklahama based 2015 on the map. Ever since the release of that incredibly successful game the company has been working on the Vietnam War shooter Men of Valor for Sierra.

Those latest screenshots look really good.

Wow. Not really interested in this game, but it's great to see some fresh in-house content on the Shack. Nice job. Now just get Steve to do a follow-up to the 4+ year-old March 2000 DNF interview with George B and we're set.

So many good games

Not enough love to go around
:(

Color me impressed. Nice flame effects (and on the water) as well!
