Unfortunately it didn't last through the war?
Unfortunately, Yamato didn’t last through the war, and it sank to the bottom of the sea.

Last I heard the Japanese Empire the Yamato was part of was responsible for attrocities against pretty much everyone in the Pacific. Not sure who thinks it was unfortunate that a battleship that was part of their navy was sunk.

I'm a developer of VR Battleship Yamato.
Thank you for your comment.
I'm confident of this work.
I prepare a demo so I would like to have some feedback after playing.

So right ! I'm not going to spend a dollar to be on a "heroic" Japanese ship that was part of one of the greatest massacre against mankind.

...and yet if an american developer made a vr experience where you could view the atrocities committed by america, youd cheer all the way through it. No ones talking about wars or ideology or actions (if we were, it wouldnt compare to what america and its people have done around the world), its simply an impressive ship that people were right to be proud of, that got destroyed before its time.. reading anything further into that is just baiting.

Are they going to follow this up with the fat man and little boy VR games? Both are impressive feats of engineering, but maybe not ones to celebrate.

The ship is impressive. But it is also a evidence of war crime. This make it not just a ship. You can show it , but not as a "achievements" or "prond thing".

Think about Auschwitz, build it in vr is ok, but with a shining day and happy nazi sholders and no prisoners. What about this ? Its the same thing.

Yes we get it, you're very confident that your walking simulator is a walking simulator. The price is still stupid, there's no game here.

The way I see it its important that we remember both the good stuff and the bad from history as it reduces the chances of people making the same errors again.

And I don't feel this or everything else for VR or on steam needs to be a game, but I do feel the price is just too high for this VR experience at this time.

There's nothing wrong with the price they went to a great deal of work.
all of you would like to be rewarded when you work.

My point was more that I think history, should be remembered from all sides, as people died from all sides paid the price with their lives and in general terms it was the leaders at fault for most of the worst atrocities, not the civilian or soldiers on the front who did the dying.

As such its important that we remember the war ships from both sides and the sailors that served on them as part of that history.

I don't think we should glorify wars, we just need to try and remember that war is not as simple as, black and white, good an evil, in the real world.

I think when it comes to war both sides all-ways lose it just a case of how many people pay the price by dying and losing their homes and people they care about.

As for price, it is too high for me, but I did not mean to imply that it has unreasonable for the amount of work put in to making.

The first half all I read was blah blah blah yada yada yada, stuff we already know.

Now this (Dwyloc) "As for price, it is too high for me" That's understandable but, this (Dwyloc) " but I did not mean to imply that it has unreasonable for the amount of work put in to making" Doesn't makes sense but if I have to guess what you mean by this my reply would be = How do you know?

If it was a tour around a unit 731 camp I could understand your point a little more. The ship is just a piece of hardware, one that didn't really do all that much either. A closer analogy might by a 'VR experience' of the Schwerer Gustav or something to that effect.

There is an important difference between admiring (or simply being interested) in a piece of technology and admiring what the technology was used for.

Please indulge me in which way the Yamato or the Musashi took part in any sort of war crime.
