Aha some of those clips did seem too well shot to me, "ww2 footage" from youtube probably wasnt the best source for the videos. I think it still gets the point accross eiher way though.
Those firse scene is in the movie Tankova Brigada (1955) about liberation of Czechoslovakia, They used real tanks, real war veteran to the film. You should check it out
@@wolkrieth2394 And this is why indie and smaller studios are doing better in that regard. Just wish we could have competently made single player shooters with this type of grittiness again.
@@RenerDeCastrowell not just that, it’s also a problem with how stupid and idiotic modern people are, you show something dark but meaningful to them and they gasp because it’s dark not because it has a meaning, they don’t see the meaning they just see the darkness lol
because the people that made this game are in their 40s now they had hands on experience with real ww2 vets they knew what war was now you got some 20 year old nerds that are good at coding sitting in their seats
The team that developed WaW understood that people need to remember history so as not to repeat it. Along with the fact war is the furthest thing from good guys and bad guys. Too often media and games simply glorify the warfare. WaW showed cost and consequences. I definitely didn't feel like I'd done good things by the end of the campaign nor that they were justifiable. Games now at the end make everything so upbeat its laughable
Very cool to see you here. Thank you to you and your team for creating one of the most atmospheric and fitting WW2 soundtracks ever made. The game would absolutely not have been the same or had as much impact without it. True art!
You guys did an absolutely phenomenal job on creating the soundtrack to one of the best world war 2 games of all time, you really captured the sheer horror and carnage of the war perfectly, I’ll never forget World at War, never ever. I imagine you guys spent a lot of time trying to see what would give that sort of harrowing immersion with the music, especially a theme like this, watching war footage probably helped a lot to sort of visualize the type of death and carnage you wanted to represent with it, the overall tones and atmosphere that it reinforces in the game. In the main theme I really love the inclusion of a few German lyrics, it’s sort of debated on what they say but some people say it roughly translates to “brave soldier, die with me, die with me tonight…”, and that’s one of the cool things because once you even roughly translate the lyrics, it adds another layer to the tone and atmosphere of the song and the game, really gnarly stuff. It’s really cool seeing you here
@@briantuey3999 of course! You and Treyarch really made something incredibly special way back then, and good music like you and your teams’ will always resonate like that with people, I’m curious if there were any sorts of sources you guys used to give you an idea of the type of effect you wanted to have the music to have, things like memoirs and all that!
Think of the millions of Slavs, civilians and military, the Nazis massacred through their organisations including the Wehrmacht just to enforce the stupid idea of a new racial order.
These videos live to tell us it happened and to serve as a reminder. Yet when I see WW2 footage I still have trouble grasping that at one point this is where the world was at (not saying it didn't that would be foolish). That generational gap between me, and the men who were once my age whom fought and died is strange. We probably mirror them to some degree before they headed into hell. But with how fast times change and how fast we recovered from such a conflict is exactly why history in all forms is integral to learning about ourselves and understanding ourselves. It's just a strange thing to think that 80 years ago that the places where people now sleep and eat under a clear sky was once littered with smoke contrails, planes, parachutes and AA fire.
you are on the right track man as young guys were ore obligated to look at what politicans can make us do, in the name of our grand and greatgrandfathers we must lever let us be sent to an old mans war again
Эту Жестокость Немцы(Нацисты, не германский народ) принесли к нам(Советскому народу) сами и агрессоры получили то что ожидали/хотели получить , но немного негативной для них концовкой.
The sheer number of bodies on both sides were basically a little more than half the casualties of the whole of world war 2. To call it bloody is an understatement.
world at war did ww2 justice like no other game i know you could just tell the devs were invested into it , that they knew their responsibilty to to right by their grandfathers to show the world what war truely means loved it , although i had to shoot at my own guys ( germans) i loved how they showed all sides comitting horrific shit and ww2 just being a spiral of ever worse brutality
Here in the United States we romanticize this war so much since we came out on top and in many ways benefited from it. In reality, World War II was possibly the most inhumane war in human history.
There’s so much about the war that isn’t fought, like the fact Winston Churchill was paid by Czechoslovakian bankers to promote the war to the British public.
We do so because Germans surrendered to us (easier front of the war) and saw us as brethren while the Soviets were seen as subhuman and would never surrender to them after all they did at Stalingrad and Leningrad. We didn't spill as much blood as the Eastern front.
I always remember that at the age of fourteen this game gave me a disturbing chill particularly after going through the campaign. Likely due to the fact that I had no business playing the game to begin with of course, but damn. World at War has a special place in my Mt. Rushmore of video games. I think I'm buying it, again😂
You are right the game really stands out compared to other Call of Dutys. I remember playing it for the first time as a kid and I got nightmares. Still to this day the games music is so powerful, the game is brutal it really shows the reality of war... Thats why I think the game is a masterpiece. I have never felt more scared yet impressed by a game.
the war was brutal, and it also dragged other countries into the war, such as Mexico and Brazil! Great and small powers killed each other! 72 countries at war! It was the deadliest war in human history.
Wild to think about, the entire fighting aged male population of germany was obliterated, russia still could muster another couple million if it really needed to... germany never stood a chance.
wrong you dont need to kill all men to win a war men only help so much aslong as you can arm them the soviets were on the verge of collapse of not for the retreat of the minor axis powers south of stalingrad they opened a massive hole in the line which germany could never recover from with stalingrad free again the soviets could ship goods from north to south of russia through the volga again, it was the most important way of transport in the soviet union the soviet union was lucky to have the allies keep the pressure on the west and the romanians to fucking lose their shit and abandone post
