Wow, I mean this game looks cool. But how rediculously exagerated it is.

Okay, I gotta admit... that was pretty cool looking. Although I know it will be an FPS, if it was a Third person action game, or something like Fallout 3, I'd probably play it.

And just for dramatic twist, I would've like a really random country to be the last one taken over by North Korea. Like Iceland.

I thought NK was out though and Russian spies wer back in in terms of popular communist enemy?

A unified Korea and Japan?

These developers haven't done much research, eh?

[jvalmer]

So the Chinese are going to just roll over and let NK take them over too?

[Steve_Rogers2008]

so does NK make exaggerated spy/sci fi movies about their eventual domination of global events as well? what's their timeline?

[stilicho25]

My understanding is that NK in the game was originally going to be China, but they decided that might get it banned in China, which apparently is a big market for these things.

I can't afford not to play this.

[lalartu]

would be much more interesting as a strategy game imo.
storyline is somewhat plausible too. NK new leader+economic crisis.

reminds me of a CIV3 or CIV 4 mod that i played a few months ago with an imaginary korean war.
admittedly, it was ridiculously hard to win as north korea due to really crappy units (even tho you had a million of them)

FPS shooters can pretty much have the dumbest storylines and nobody will ever care, as long as you get to shoot things

You can tell the game isn't made in North Korea easily, since we all know that Kim Jung Il will never die.

Here's an interview with the design director at Kaos about the game, with demo footage:

Let's be honest, what ISN'T banned in china?

[RMNC]

Mobile execution vans and their accompanying public shows, for one

When I was in Guangzhou on the way back from Thailand, A girl who worked at the airport got permission from her boss to come talk and take a photo of me because I'm more handsome than everyone else there.

We talked for about 40 minutes before my plane arrived and I was shocked to find she'd never heard of YouTube. She was genuinely puzzled about it. I told her how many users use it daily and she was in shock.

Luckily I used this as a transition into exchanging emails.

I wonder if they have some kind of filtered equivalent. I know some parts of China have youtube, why not others =/
