Family Guy Video Game Preview

[Matt B.]

I found this preview with screenshots for the family guy game
1up.com/do/previewPage?cId=3149612&did=1
It says it will come out for PS2 PSP and XBOX

[mikeymansimpsons]

I'm getting it on the PSP and PS2 straight away. I'll have to sell some games first though.

[Toli]

The game should involve you to be manatees creating the random cut aways. That'd be hilarious.

[Ignignot]

I was thinking about that too.

[Matt B.]

From the screenshots it looks like Peter is pregnant(very original)

[Ihaveblink]

He's not in labor.

[brody]

I have a feeling this game will be kinda lame. (much like the current season)

[Matt B.]

I found this article from IGN that says the release date for this fall
ps2.ign.com/articles/693/693855p1.html

[homer5000]

Wow...this looks extremely awful...seriously, what the fuck we're they thinking? This is the worst use of cel-shading I've ever seen in my life...

[Ihaveblink]

Like the Simpson and Futurama games, it will be either mediocre or suck completely.

[That Jerk]

Too lazy to look if it isn't hyperlinked. If this game is a Wario Ware type with just randdom impulsive Mini games, it would suit the show and probably go over well. It's probably just another crappy Crash Bandicoot type game.

[Haoie]

Making games out of TV shows is even worse than out of movies.

[Toli]

Movie games can sometimes be good but usually crap.

[deshem]

so far it just looks terrible. maybe the gameplay will be good but it just doesn't seem all that likely.

[Toli]

If it involves sexy parties it must be good!

[Sideshow Joe]

Movie games can sometimes be good but usually crap.


"You think THAT'S bad? Remember the time I went to a Mexican restaraunt with Gary Coleman?"

[deshem]

if everyone starts quoting those south park episodes in every family guy related thread people are gonna start to get rather pissed off.

[TransponderHut]

No GameCube port? That's dumb.

[bluemoose]

eh, it looks pretty crappy. I'm not buying it unless I hear otherwise.

[deshem]

No GameCube port? That's dumb.

i thought that originally but dude, look at it.

gotta be the first promotional screenshot i've ever seen for a video game with someone taking a shit in the background.

[DotheBartman]

Wow...this looks extremely awful...seriously, what the fuck we're they thinking? This is the worst use of cel-shading I've ever seen in my life...

Agreed....it looks like a PS1 game. Gamepro can tout this all they way, but man, there's no way this is going to turn out well. Manatees are about the only thing that could save this game, quite frankly.

But it's pretty rare for a suddenly hot animated show to get a good game. The "South Park" games speak for themselves, as do most of the early Simpsons games (sans the arcade game).

Brian looks totally fucked in this picture.

[Krazy]

Ho boy that is one of the most down right awful looking things I've ever seen.

[mickg2928]

Yeah this looks like shit. More then likely the game is gonna have no point and be just played because you dont want to waste the moneyy you spent on buying it.

[Matt B.]

More screenshots have been released

http://screenshots.teamxbox.com/gallery/1422/Family-Guy/p1

[Paul]

Looks as awful as the series is now.

[Sniper Squirrel]

It'll be in the $20 bin within months of its release

[grissom]

Family Guy really doesn't need a video game. Looks pretty crappy.

[conor.]

looks as shitty as the futurama game

[brody]

Those are really lame screenshots.

[Matt B.]

Heres the box art

http://us.st11.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.com/I/take2store_1915_519703

[Paul]

What a surprise, there's a Meg pain "joke" on the cover. Definitely not going to buy this.

[Alpha]

Peter's plot involves trying to kill Mr. Belvedere??

This looks really, really lame.

[grissom]

That's some pretty horrendous box art.

[Kamerica]

Mature?

[grissom]

They're pretty much free of censorship in a video game. They can do whatever they want. So essentially they'll cram in as many swears and crude sex jokes as possible.

[Jeremy]

So it'll be like the "movie" then? Nothing I've seen makes this look even somewhat decent, so I'm sure I'll get five copies of it to review.

[SubSane]

Visuals are comparable to stuff from this gen, I'd say. Nothing horrendous about 'em.

The gameplay, on the other hand, is yet to be seen. I'll buy it regardless cuz I'm strapped like that, but the developer has a pretty shaky record with licensed titles.

[Henrik P]

Oh dear. Not a game too! The screenshots looks horrible and the box art is really lame.. Oh, and why is it rated 17+? Most people who watch Family Guy are younger than that.

I'll buy it.. when hell freezes over.

[NegaDuck]

They're pretty much free of censorship in a video game.

*CoughcoughJackThompson*

But then, this game isn't being made by R*, so I guess it's safe from his assholery.

[Sniper Squirrel]

I just saw a commercial for the game, and it does look pretty sub par

[Jeff]

is the xbox version compatible with xbox 360?

[grissom]

Somewhere I remember seeing cutscenes for this game a few weeks ago. Trust me, the graphics don't get any better than the screenshots. The jokes are pretty horrible too. I really hope this fails.

[Alpha]

Yeah, I saw the commercial for it a few nights ago. Terrible.

[simpsonssite9999]

Yeah, I just saw the commercial to. The commercial make the game look worse.

[Sniper Squirrel]

The saddest part is that most of the crew of the show was behind the game, I'm just curious of what they all think of the finished product

[Kefka]

If I had the ASCII of the facepalming guy, I'd put it here.


WHY!!?!??!

[Alpha]

There's an ad for it in the new Simpsons comic. Apparently, it will contain "Nudity". ;-/

[conor.]

anyone get the new psp game? ive got a 10 hour car trip ahead of me next weekend and im thinking of investing in this is it worth it?

[grissom]

There's an ad for it in the new Simpsons comic. Apparently, it will contain "Nudity". ;-/
And I thought it sounded bad before. If there's one thing I hope never to see, it's naked Family Guy characters

[Jeremy]

It isn't known if this'll be 360-compatible, and Game Head did a massive feature on this game with interviews from West, Kunis, and Seth. No one said anything about this being a good game in any way, shape, or form.
