New Delta Force game inbound
 

Quoting my comment there:

"I don't think this has anything to do with the classic NovaLogic Delta Force. I think this is that other DF game that was so controversial a few years ago. No familiar sounds, no familiar sights, the logo is wrong, the font is different, and they don't mention "From the makers of Delta Force Black Hawk Down!" and you know if they were, they would f-----g say it.

I think this is a completely different game. My hopes are dashed."

To be honest it gives me hope!! You can see that they’ve recreated the irene mission, but unfortunately I do see some futuristic s*** also :(

At first glance i was like cool.... then i watched the clip a few times and yeah nar.... Looks like a COD type game that will be more single mission than team work team based.

Also according to this article this company aquired all the rights for DF from THQ Nordic. So this is indeed a reboot, unfortunately less promising if we compared it to the games we are used to play from Nova

Fingers crossed there is a mission editor, not holding my breath though.

At least one good thing coming from it is the Black Hawk Down campaign remaster. Looking forward to how that turns out.

A very shrewd and savvy business move by Tencent, but it looks to be a DF game in name only… no interest from me.

The bigger story to me is a multi-billion dollar Chinese company making games about the American military. And how about the fact that China has just bought the trademark to an American special forces unit through this acquisition? I understand John Garcia (Novalogic) successfully claimed the trademark to Delta Force in the 90s because the unit “didn’t exist,” and wasn’t acknowledged by the US government… now, a Chinese company has the trademark! Truly wild stuff.

Unfortunately, I don’t sense much reverence from Tencent for the tragic events that unfolded in Mogadishu, or the lives of real human beings that were lost. Novalogic’s retelling was buggy and took several artistic liberties, but it was done after working directly with the US military branch it was telling the story of, and donated a portion of profits to wounded veterans.

This new Delta Force game feels merely like an event to exploit for profit by Tencent, based off of the phrasing of their press releases and even the main menu descriptions seen above.

Be wary of peculiar retellings of American military history in future DF installments...
