Hatred is an isometric shooter developed by Destructive Creations. There’s a lot of these games floating around so what makes this game so special? How it boldly challenges political correctness. The game describes itself as, ” an isometric shooter with disturbing atmosphere of mass killing, where player takes the role of a cold blood antagonist”. Although developers warn the public to not, “try this at home and don’t take it too seriously, it’s just a game”, it doesn’t change the fact that this game is essentially a simulator for events similar to Columbine or the Isla Vista shootings.
Hatred puts you in the shoes of your generic angsty, edgy character, trench coat and all, who declares his hate for the world and goes on a murderous rampage in anger.
Reception of the game’s announcement has been overall mixed, some supporting the developers ideals, “These days, when a lot of games are heading to be polite, colorful, politically correct and trying to be some kind of higher art, rather than just an entertainment – we wanted to create something against trends. Something different, something that could give the player a pure, gaming pleasure”, but others condemn it either for its violent content and message, or because they don’t feel this is the right way to combat political correctness and warn that this game will only paint gamers in a negative light to the public.
The game may be unique for recent titles, but it does draw some similarities to the Grand Theft Auto series’ sandbox mode features, a similar outlook as Postal, and is still probably less gruesome than games like Manhunt. All I have to say is, good luck to the developers trying to get under an AO rating from the ESRB.
