After announcing that it will publish modern day realistic shooter Six Days In Fallujah, Konami today ditched the game after mounted criticism over the choice of setting. Shacknews reported that A Konami representative told the Asashi Imbun dropped the ball. And I quote:
"After seeing the reaction to the videogame in the United States and hearing opinions sent through phone calls and e-mail, we decided several days ago not to sell it."
Six Days purported to be a documentary-style recreation of six days from the 2004 second battle of Fallujah in Iraq, seen through the eyes of a single US Marines squad.
"We had intended to convey the reality of the battles to players so that they could feel what it was like to be there," said Konami. Yet when we saw Six Days, our impressionwas that it was anything but realistic--players took bullets without breaking a sweat.
Bigdownloads.com states that the developer, Atomic Games, will be having a press statement soon.
