Giant Bomb Video Game News

That is weird. Wonder if they have that perk that makes things more gory?

They also said they would be changing a gun name, as Kotaku guessed it will probably be the "Fat Man" for obvious reasons.

Ah, yes Fat Man, sorry forgot the name.

yes, that tree is damn awesome. I mean, look at it, beauty, just pure beauty :)

No atomic bomb but I hear they're adding a creepy underaged school girl up-skirt character to make the game more acceptable.

Shame, that looked like a fun mission too.

Hmmm, think Hiroshima and Nagasaki had anything to do with this?

That is incredibly stupid.

What?  Haven't they seen Akira?  Or, you know, any number of the many animes with massive, city-destroying explosions?

Any native Japanese folks want to weigh in on this?  Are nuclear explosions taboo in video games in Japan?

That will affect the game a lot. You got lots of stuff for blowing up the bomb.

What's funny is that I think I know exactly where that tree in the picture is in the game.

Then there's the numerous derogatory names that certain characters use to describe the Japanese and the Chinese. The Chinese, in particular, would somewhat rightly be offended by this game. I say somewhat because it is, after all, a game, and is obviously poking fun at the era of capitalism vs communism around the time all-out nuclear war seemed like a reality.

Also, does this mean they'll be removing the Fat Boy altogether (mini-nukes!!!), or changing the way cars blow up (with a mushroom cloud, supposedly due to all the radiation buildup over the years).

Japan is getting soooo dumb.
