North Korea invades, paratroopers land! New game 'Call of Duty' sells well; South Korean players play until they cry ZH北韓入侵、傘兵空降!電玩《決勝時刻》新作熱賣 南韓玩家玩到哭
Newtalk新聞 知名電玩《決勝時刻:現代戰爭 4》23 日上市,劇情以北韓突襲南韓為開端,正值朝鮮半島局勢緊張之際,卻迅速登上 Steam 全球及南韓銷售榜首。法新社報導,遊戲在南韓引發高度關注,玩家反應不一。 法新社指出,遊戲故事設定在美國與俄羅斯兩大強權關係緊繃的背景下,並加入北韓軍隊入侵南韓的劇情。遊戲開場描述北韓部隊派遣傘兵、利用地下隧道滲透,讓美韓部隊措手不及;故事則透過多條支線推進,包括美韓年輕士兵組成的求生小隊、尋求復仇的退役軍人,以及圍繞北韓新領導人展開的權力鬥爭,玩家甚至能扮演該名領導人。 遊戲上市之際,朝鮮半島現實局勢也受到關注。23 日,戒備森嚴的非軍事區(DMZ)發生爆炸,造成 3 名南韓士兵受傷,進一步加劇兩韓緊張關係。由於 1950 年至 1953 年的韓戰最終以停戰協定收場,而非簽署和平條約,南韓與北韓在法律上仍處於戰爭狀態。美國目前則在南韓駐紮約 2 萬 8000 名兵力,以協助嚇阻擁有核武的北韓。 這樣的背景也使遊戲在南韓受到廣泛討論。南韓規定,身體健全男性均須服兵役,依軍種不同,服役時間介於 18 至 21 個月。部分玩家在社群媒體以帶有「消滅共產主義」意涵的韓文口號作為標籤,也有人表示為了遊玩而考慮升級電腦或購買新主機。 Threads 上有網友表示,遊玩過程讓自己「哭到幾乎快脫水」,並聯想到曾參與韓戰的祖父;另一名網友則認為遊戲令人「不寒而慄」,因為其中情境讓人想到朝鮮半島可能爆發的衝突。 不過,遊戲也引發批評,有人質疑作品是否將南北韓長期累積的歷史矛盾轉化為商業娛樂。《韓民族日報》報導,南韓金大中和平中心理事長金聖在上月撰文指出,遊戲引發一項值得思考的問題,即韓戰悲劇及當前南北韓對立是否適合被包裝成供人消費的娛樂體驗。延伸閱讀:網上瘋傳金正恩腦出血慘死!北韓連兩天大範圍斷網引發聯想 南韓:假消息美日「利劍」軍演登場!中俄軍機連4天現蹤日本周邊 日戰機急升空不明三角物體無聲懸停垂直爬升!美軍觀察員目擊神祕飛行物飆破 2900 公里破除腦溢血死亡謠言!金正恩無預警造訪中國丹東「敦促北京加速兌現承諾」伊朗強硬派要求製造核武 拒絕與美談判
