Are you buying the Futurama Game?

[on:]

I am looking forward to it, but someone said on ebgames.com it's ruining the series, which bummed a bit.  What are your thoughts?

[Reply #1 on:]

[Reply #3 on:]

not for the american game cube. only for the european one.

[Reply #4 on:]

dont they have it for ps2, x box, and gc?

[Reply #5 on:]

in europe. unless you live there you'll have to get it for the PS2 or X box

[Reply #6 on:]

crap!! i only have gc.....this sucks

[Reply #7 on:]

I'll probably rent an Xbox to try the game.

[Reply #8 on:]

I can't wait for this game to come out.  I was hoping that I would be able to buy it for my GameCube, but I can't, so I'll just buy it for my brother's Playstation 2.

[Reply #9 on:]

What's that? Is that merchandice? Yes, it is!

[Reply #10 on:]

I think it will eventually find its way to american gamecube

[Reply #11 on:]

Amazon.com shows that the game will be coming out in the states for PS2, Xbox and GC. But Vivendi Universal Games  http://www.vugames.com  only shows PS2 and Xbox versions. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.   

[Reply #12 on:]

I asked the Vivendi U. PR director that a month ago. Answer was "no Game Cube for the US". Still, if you are going to buy it online, make sure to use the links in the Merchandise Forum overview description here.

in answer to original question:
ja, das ist richtig!   

[Reply #14 on:]

I'll be getting the Xbox version the day it comes out.  I've read some good things.   

[Reply #15 on:]

Ill get the PS2 game, but I'm not sure if i'll get it as soon as it comes out or wait a bit for it to get cheaper.

[Reply #16 on:]

EB games in the UK says it is anything but ruining the series and every UK mag says it is very funny and many say comparable to the funniest episodes

>>>As you'd expect the cut-scenes have some genuinely laugh-out-loud funny moments, but in-game play has plenty of details that the aficionado will enjoy too. With a release scheduled for July 4, Futurama could be a very pleasant surprise for gamers long used to crappy TV show adaptations. Good news, everybody.<<<<

That sucks that it's not coming out for the gamecube. From the videos I've downloaded, it doesn't look like it plays too well. But I could at least rent it and use cheats to unlock all the cut scenes.

[Reply #18 on:]

i would if they brought it to gamecube in the US but if they wont i have no choice but to not buy it 

[Reply #19 on:]

Geez, I was going to pick it up for the 'Cube once it hit US shores, but now from what I've seen, I won't be getting the game at all. I recently sold my PS2 and I wouldn't be caught dead with an Xbox...oh the agony!

[Reply #20 on:]

ill buy.. but when it goes down to 90 dollars after 2 weeks

Bugger.  I still only have the GC too.  I actually was quite looking forward to this game too.  I guess I can consider myself lucky that now that I'm working, I can buy the new hard-drive installed PS2 this June and still be able to play it.  Damn, but doesn't this seem like the perfect game for the Cube though?  Just like Futurama itself, the little system just can't catch a break with the powers that be.

[Reply #22 on:]

If I find that it plays reasonably well on a PS2 emulator, I'm buying it. (The last console I've ever owned was an SNES, and I'm keeping it that way.)

[Reply #23 on:]

I'm getting the PAL GC version.

[Reply #24 on:]

no. No Gamecube V., buy me no. (if that made any sense to you,you need help.)

[Reply #25 on:]

its a bitch for all you with gamecubes isnt it. well at least i got my old ps2 i rarly play anymore. nibbler jr. could you translate that?

[Reply #26 on:]

is it just me or is that fry with his head squashed in the bottom right hand corner?!?! funny stuff, funny stuff indeed!  http://*http://www.computerandvideogames.com/screenshots_library/dir_195/vortal_pic_97945.jpg*

[Reply #27 on:]

According to that article, you get to play as "Dr. Zoidberger."

[Reply #28 on:]

Mmmmmm...burger..

[Reply #29 on:]

skinny guys fight 'til they're burger

I don't see how this could ruin the series... there isn't a whole left  you could do to it to ruin it.  I mean, it's more or less dead.

If Fox resurrected it, then some how got control, renamed it American Futurama Idol, fired all the actors, and used it as avenue for contestants to compete for a chance to be cryogenically frozen, that'd be ruining the series.

Other than that, I'm stoked to try it.

The scene that comes with that is the first time I laughed out loud at this game (though I missed the opening cut scene). Very, very funny. I can't wait to see it again  .

Oh, and I'll be getting this (probably day of release, unless I actually get some sense and realise I'm spending too much lately  ) for the Xbox.

[Reply #31 on:]

I may end up getting it.  If its not for gamecube I wont be at release though, since I wont be able to get a PS2(which I might get down the line) by then.  But if nothing else, I'll want to borrow a friend's PS2 and rent the game.  In any case, the game is looking more and more exciting to me, as I've seen some good impressions of it (like the guy at IGN), whereas early on I had the feeling it COULD be good, but probably really wouldn't.

[Reply #32 on:]

I guess I'll be buying it. And an XBox or a PS2. Dammit, I spend so much money on Futurama... The XBox was selling at Costco today for $220. Not too bad, but the GameCube was $175. Why can't we have a GC version over here?

[Reply #33 on:]

I might buy it. It looks like a okay game but I would rather spend my $100 on the next season DVD.

I've been out of the Futurama loop for a month or so...when is this game going to be released?

[Reply #34 on:]

As of now the game comes out in mid-august I think, though I wouldn't be suprised to see it pushed back to September so as to release with the season 2 dvd in the US.

[Reply #35 on:]

Posting again to say 'no i won't buy it', because before i said i would buy it.

I simply have no money and I would prefer the season 3 dvd and the family guy volume one dvd.

[Reply #36 on:]

I soo wish that this was on PC, sadly though I have no chane of getting it as I have nothing to play it on :-(

[Reply #37 on:]

buy a PSpoo everybody else does
