Title: The Simpsons Game!
Post by: BonkThis on July 17, 2007, 02:18:05 AM
The graphics seem ok, but this looks like it might be an actual fun game. I really enjoyed Hit and Run but everything else in the series has just been OK at best. Here is hoping for the best...

and for you turbo freaks out there make sure to watch the trailer till the very end....

I liked Bad Day LA for Pc. It was stupid simple fun. Not a epic game title,but I enjoyed it none the less.

It felt broken and like a cash-in to me. American McGee spoiled me with Alice. :)


I'd LOVE Scrapland if it weren't for the goddamn Starforce...

mcgee didn't create scrapland.  he was only a producer.  that means he was primarily responsible for scheduling and management - not game design or creative vision.  huge difference between a producer and a director/game designer.

hence the reason why the latter day legend of zeldas pale in comparison to the early iterations in which miyamoto was actually involved as the director and game designer :wink:

But Zelda sucks anyway, so I fail to see your point.

well, if you take that stance, then imagine how much suckier the latter day ones are than those from miyamoto's directorial/game design golden age :P

btw, just peeped the simpson's game vid linked here.  the visuals are phenomenally executed.  some of the best toon rendering i've seen.  now, let's hope it plays as well as it looks...
(i'll likely never even touch it, but i hope it rocks for those who do play it)

How exactly is a fully 3D polygonal world suckier than an 8-bit clusterf*ck's haphazard overworld?

Ok, well considering Zelda III and the Satellaview series are the only ones I like, I concede to you sir.
