But seriously, this being based on an event [B]this[/B] fresh in public memory, it just rubs me the wrong way.

It's been 15 years, hardly fresh in anyone's memories. At what point does something become "okay" to be turned into fictional media? The British and Hollywood were making movies DURING WWII ABOUT WWII.

A fair point, don't get me wrong, I can see this turning out really good and help keep the story alive. Maybe this will have alternate endings or something.

i peraonally think it should retain historic truth, could be very effective, even moreso than a documentary

Are you sure this is fresh? As mentioned it was 15 years ago and I can't say this tragedy crossed my mind since it happened.
A game based on it could be alright and show what the personnel had to go through.

Doubt it. It will probably end up as being some sort of historical fiction of the last few minutes/hours of the people not instantly killed during the disaster.

[quote]"KURSK" - adventure and survival game coming to PC, Mac, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The game will look at the tragedy of the submarine ship from a new angle and will combine first-person action with a heavy focus on a carefully crafted story and an engrossing gameplay.[/quote]
Damn, those are some really pretty looking environments, but the character models look significantly less... good.
A hellishly claustrophobic environment with the entire ocean above you inside a crumpled metal box with the timer of your life being drastically cut because of the gross negligence of your commanders and higher command?
I'm down.

[quote=Wiki]The Kursk was equipped with an emergency rescue buoy on top of compartment seven that was designed to automatically deploy when it detected a variety of emergency conditions like a fire or rapid pressure change.It was intended to float to the surface and send a signal that would help rescuers locate the stricken vessel. Some reports said that the buoy had repeatedly malfunctioned and had been welded in place. In fact, the Kursk had been deployed to the Mediterranean during the summer of 1999 to monitor the U.S. Fleet responding to the Kosovo crisis. Russian navy officers feared that the buoy might accidentally deploy, revealing the submarine's position to the U.S. fleet. They ordered the buoy to be disabled and it was still inoperative when the sub sank.[/quote]
Imagine this being your mission to attempt to deploy it
So I just did a read up on what the Kursk was.
Holy shit that is such a petty thing for Russia to do, Putin says "eh fuck it" and the Government basically allows all hands to die, even though the Americans where right there and happy to go down and save as many as they can.
thought it would be about the battle in 1943 from the title
shame
Truly a shame if Travel is Dangerous by Mogwai isn't included in the soundtrack

Survival? how does this work if everyone dies

Surviving up until the point in which you die. There will probably be hazards you have to avoid while you make your way through the story.
