Why support a game from others sacrifices?

[Walich]

I'm not going to support a game who have real 911 calls in-game for others enjoyment. If you do it, so be it. But just think about it twice before you decide to buy.

I respect your opinion on the game, but this game is moreover to give people an small insight on what emergency service operators have to go through and deal with on a daily basis. Anyone playing simply to just allow people to die or get injured and purely playing it for the wrong reasons. No one is being hurt from playing the game either way.

I personally say 911 Operator is a great game and captures the job of 911 Operators amazingly! You can feel the intensity of moments and stresses and needs of the people who is calling for help and provides a challenge.

Every single 911 call is acted as well, so no real recordings of live 911 recordings are used in the game.

[Walich]

How do you know? I saw a video from a gameplay and the first call I heard were from a real 911 distress call. Why I know? I have heard that call on youtube several years back on "real desturbing 911 calls" etc.
So how did I hear a "acted 911 call" several years ago?

Alright, I can understand your point. However, I don't really see the problem in having truly happened events...

Aren't there tons of games out there which contain real, unsympathetic events? For example Battlefield 1 is set during World War I. Enough people died during that war... and now we are having fun killing each other in Battlefield 1???

911 Operator is in a way a simulator, so please bear that in mind.

ItsLeandro. The difference is that, the game you talking about diden't use REAL audio from their distress. That perticular call I heard were from a young girl who lost her brother in a suicide. You can't get over here voice.... She live right now, knowing her voice are all over youtube and now in games for others enjoyment, and this is not just one call. I have heard few more calls from real life. I don't support that.

There is no form of disrespect in this game, played 4 hours and saw nothing that makes fun of those people.
You actually learn how to act in certain situations, this game does good at showing the basic procedures in case of emergency, it may not turn you in a medic but for sure you can learn one or two things on how to save a life, not bad since the majority of the games out there shows you the opposite.
I see nothing bad here.

Some people try really hard to be offended.

Even if they did use real 911 calls I don't think it would be offensive. If anything this type of game can show how real 911 calls are handled and the stress they are under. It also helps the adverage person understand the 911 process and how serious (and hard) it is to manage calls.

The devs didn't use the actual recording - that would be a serious disrespect to the family involved, as well as inviting a lawsuit opportunity. I can't see a dev making that rookie mistake.

The transcripts could be used. And I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

If you can verify that these devs have actually taken the audio from an emergency call, i'd like to see the voice comparison data. A simple sound mixer would be able to reveal it. It's as unique as a fingerprint, and would leave no room for doubt. You should submit it to the authorities. otherwise I call BS.

These things happen in that 'safe' city you think you live in. The scary things that police, firefighters and EMT's face on a daily basis would make you go pale.

I think it's just fine to know what they have to deal with, and how the dispatching process works.

If you don't have the stomach for this, it's fine, you can freely decide not to support it.

I do, though. A lot of my friends are in emergency services, and I myself have been trained in urban fire supression and riot control drills in the military. They have to deal with it. I had to deal with it. I don't think its a bad thing for others to awaken to what actually happens out there either.

Another crybaby! Well I am glad you wont get it then you can quit crying!

I want to confirm that the game doesn't contain real recordings as a calls. Few of them were included to the game during the alfa stage, but after opinions that it could be somehow unfair we decide to repleace them by acted recordings with changes in a transcript. So, right now, you can find in game calls which are strongly inspired by real events, but not real, orginal recordings.

I saw a video yesterday that gave me that opinion. But I have no clue if that gameplay were from the actual game or the alpha. But if you have replaced the real audio to acted recordings, then I personaly can support this game again.

Thanks!

The point is you have to think of others. Imagine a tragedy in your family and then you dialing 911 all crying and sobbing and deeply disturbed and people just putting your call in a game like that.
