This entire thing seems extremely suspect. Scope, funding goal, rewards, the typos, screenshots but no prototype footage
The fact that it's launched with a prototype trailer coming soon instead of waiting till the trailer is ready should be raising red flags for everyone

Until we see more hard footage, we're left trusting Liberty's claims about what to expect. For starters, Liberty says that recent survival-horror release Resident Evil 7 is closely comparable, though his interactive take on Apocalypse Now will have less tension. "We want Willard to feel powerful at times, to a degree, that he can be capable of doing remarkable things, as long as you the player are smart about it," he says.
Still, resource scarcity and weakness will factor into the experience, which takes place in Vietnam and Cambodia's jungles, towns, and rivers. Liberty says the team is working on item-crafting systems and will make sure players can't just "brush off damage" or "run and gun."
That hints at a less brash, less combat-heavy FPS game. That jibes with project leaks from 2013 that suggested an interactive Apocalypse Now would de-emphasize combat or add dark twists to it. However, some of Liberty's comments about "first-person mechanics," including a suggestion that a "major first-person shooter developer" will soon join the team, suggest more active gameplay than, say, the RPG pedigree that preceded the announced devs so far. Either way, Liberty is intrigued by VR as a possibility for the project, though its viability will be determined later in production.
I'm assuming this is for pc. I don't see a mention of platforms anywhere

Why not just play, Spec Ops: The Line?

The funding so far seems to be slow. Poorly-put together Kickstarters like this - just look at the unknown/vague details in above article - should make you cautious.
It's a joke because Spec-Ops the Line is basically Apocalypse Now: The Game, in the same way that Apocalypse Now is Heart of Darkness: The Movie.Not an RPG or set in Vietnam.
Great game, though.
That's very odd and irregular. Especially for a campaign launch day.None of the talent involved have mentioned it on Twitter, as far as I can find. Maybe there is and I can't find it.
And some of the dialogue from Coppola's message sounds like a rip from Hearts of Darkness, the documentary.
Maybe I'm just being paranoid.
That's very odd and irregular. Especially for a campaign launch day.
But just in general, KS pages like this really just come across as unprofessional when you compare them to, for example, yesterday's Beautiful Desolation page or Sundered
I mean, come on, most of the pictures on the Kickstarter page are screenshots from the movie
