Why does no one attempt to make an actually good modern day game? Realpolitiks 3, superpower 3, Power and Revolution 5…list of failures goes on but not a single autism dev has managed to take this on and make kino.>in before modern day is boringFar from it, proxy wars, global markets, modern politics all make for fascinating and fun subjects if you adapt them into gamified systems.>nothing ever happensBut it does. Look at things like Israel Gaza, war in Sudan, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine…fertile ground for happenings
>>2276706warno/wargamethere was an rts based off of the russia ukraine war iirctheres one modern strategy tactical game that was debuted during the next fest.
>>2276706You can't do shit without pissing anyone off. By acknowledging any sort of conflict in current era that means you automatically pick a side. The game could be completely 100% unbiased, depicting only real life happenings, and the dev would simultaneously be accused be being "the other one" from both sides. Said project would only get attention from controversy and that's only good when you're sucking off daddy blackrock.
Paradox doesn't want the headache. Nostalgames is the best you'll get.
>>2276785Warno is cool. It might not be perfect and some people will nitpick but it’s definitely one of the best strategy games I’ve picked up in the last 10 years.Although, we’re far enough past the end of the Cold War historically that some people probably don’t consider it contemporary. A lot of the hardware is still relevant though. I bet someone could make a mod that involved more advanced hardware and factions if they really wanted to.
>>2276706>Russia’s invasion of UkraineWait for Gostomel Heroes in february 2026. Devs promise most of ukraine campaign minus the Wagner.They also said they won't let you play as ukranians because they don't let players play as terrorists.
>>2276879>They also said they won't let you play as ukranians because they don't let players play as terrorists.No, that's because it will get them sent to catch suicide drones with their faces, they were pretty explicit about government control over the project and how much it handicaps what they want to add to the game
>>2276706>proxy wars, global markets, modern politics all make for fascinating and fun subjects if you adapt them into gamified systems.How would you do that? Doesn't sound like an easy task to make it both feel real, complex and fun while also making it feasible to design and implement.
>>2276915Thats literally what the based devs said, I am only quoting them.
>>2276793This. And you can expect any threads to turn into a shitshow until they get deleted on sight, too. Fictional and fantasy settings are much less of a headache for all involved. Like the upcoming Global Conflagration RTS that will have three silly, vaguely European factions: western Euros, eastern mercenaries, and 'Carpathians'.
>>2276793>You can't do shit without pissing anyone off.This is the essence of it.You never realize how controversial facts can be until you interact with people from the other side of the planet. Every country has their own, often contradictory take on current events and recent history.Just look at how gutted HOI4's scenario has to be to avoid offending the japanese players.
>>2277028When your VEH-DEH-VEH gets to sit for a month doing nothing but getting shelled and shot by volunteers that you have to resolve to call said volunteers terrorists in their own country otherwise being killed by armed civilians doesn't sound very cash money
Thread devolves into retarded keyboard warriors slap fighting each other over which third world shitholes army is better. Guess it just shows why it’s worthless to make this kind of game.What MIGHT be cool is a fantasy grand strategy set in that fantasy worlds equivalent to our modern era
>>2277472You will play Total War Warhammer and you will be happy
>>2277472>What MIGHT be cool is a fantasy grand strategy set in that fantasy worlds equivalent to our modern eraThat's even more unlikely than asking for a new Tolkien.
>>2277472>Guess it just shows why it’s worthless to make this kind of game.Contemplate the screams of "Russian Bias", though.
