I think the use of the word "game" makes this controversial. It's clearly not a "game".

I hesitantly agree that this is fine in an educational and historical context. But calling this a game is... very problematic and something I'm inclined to strongly disagree with.

 Pretty much my reaction when I read the first line in the OP. |

It's fine from an educational standpoint

It's pretty incredible that we can recreate history like this now. I think this would get a lot of positive attention if it wasn't used for something that was a fresh wound for a lot of people. You could be there for the moon landing or be a passenger on the Titanic, for instance.

The most controversial game ever is a porn VR game where you experience 9/11.

It might be until they release that new version of Custer's Revenge for the Occulus Rift

It would be more offensive if you played as one of the terrorists.

Actually it's kinda cool, from a historical viewpoint. If they made it an actual "game" where you find an assault weapon and need to get yourself to the ground and out the building before the time t elapsed while fighting throngs of mini Satans I'd say it's in horrible taste, but to experience a true event in our history as horrifying as it is brings you into what was a historical day

I don't really find it offensive, it's no different than the few 9/11 movies that have been made, I don't think either are a great idea, there's no sense in fetishizing what it was like to be a victim in 9/11 and create fictional events around it but filmmakers and game developers have a right to explore it. If the game is at all accurate I think they would have saved a lot of lives on 9/11 if people who worked in the World Trade Center didn't lock every door from the outside but I guess that's a hindsight thing. Lest we forget the 4 people that we lost that day.

I'm rarely, RARELY numb to a subject like this, but am I the only one who's too dumbfounded by the thick Euro accents, robotically stiff animation and bubble-smoke to take anything about how this was presented seriously for even a second?

It was originally created as a school project from students in Europe, that likely explains it. From what I understand, this game/simulation is free, so that makes it easier to digest on some levels. I personally am not against this, at the same time I don't really think its needed either, and earlier poster mentioned other historical moments that could be done, which would have been a better way to start. |

I don't see how it's an effective teaching tool.
What's the learning outcome? "dude. that must have SUCKED."

The most controversial game ever is a porn VR game where you experience 9/11. Orgasms? Partners? Penises? And is it nine elevenths or nine to eleven? |

He has the right to make it, we have to right to like it or not. Simple as that.

Setting a game during 9/11 isn't necessarily offensive in itself. No more than setting a game during say World War II.
It depends on how it is done.
