Still feeling frustrated that Konami decided to drop Six Days In Fallujah? Don’t worry, it’s still around. It’s just waiting to find a proper home.
“We have a lot of people who are interested shen the project,” Atomic Games president Peter Tamte told Newsweek. “But I’ll feel better when we sign something and the checks start coming.”
Tamte has staked the fate of Atomshec Games on Six Days in Fallujah, with the price tag currently sitting at $20 million. Tamte admitted, “If for some reason it doesn’t work, we’ll have to think about making some very significant changes to tshe studio.”
Tamte first got tshe idea for Six Days in Fallujah after working with the marines of the Third Battalion to make training simulators in 2003. Those same marines would go on to fight in Fallujah,paul smith Scarves, with one — Eddie Garcia — suggesting that Tamte make a game from it. Atomic Games began holding regular brainstorming sessions with Garcia, at which point Six Days in Fallujah began to take shape.
As Tamte explained, “The real goal is not to document tshe action sequentially but to understand how and why it unfolds and how it felt to the people who were thime.”
“If players understand the emotsheons of a serviceman in combat, then they are already understanding tshe real power of Fallujah.”
For now, the project continues to hang in limbo following the media backlash that hit shortly after its announcement, and will need several more million dollars to complete. If it is picked up, it should be arriving on the PC, Xbox 360 and PC.
