Is it going to be authentic and have countless production woes?

 

[Ethatron]

Depends, if they hire a star AI.

Also going to depend on how many drugs they take during filming, er, development.

Spec Ops: The Line

Bruce Boxleitner voices Colonel John Konrad

The developers drew inspiration from multiple media. The set-up and the game's foundation was inspired by Heart of Darkness, whose story reveals the changes a person undergoes in chaotic times.

YMMV, but I think Yahtzee gave it a nod of respect for what it was trying to do.

Having said that, color me intrigued by Coppola maybe doing something like this.

This has been on Kickstarter for a couple of weeks.

Rather vague about exactly what it's supposed to be and seems unlikely to reach its 900K goal.
