Futurama the video game 2

[Reply #40 on:]

I Think If They Ever Make Another One They Should Make Its Cutscenes Like The Simpsons Game But Have Gamplay Like A Grand Theft Auto Sort Of Free Roam. Do What You Want When You Want. Imagine Flying The Planet Express Ship Around New New York As Bender Or Even Going To The Sewers And Exploring The Mutants Houses.

[Reply #41 on:]

Yeah That Sounds Like A Good Idea They Should Totally Do That Like Yeah, Totally Cool And Rad Man!

[Reply #42 on:]

yeah, it could be called: GTS- Grand theft spaceship. The main characher could be bender.

[Reply #43 on:]

Or Grand Theft Astro

[Reply #44 on:]

^ Yes! Oh great Freako, I implore you to make another Futurama mod of GTA called Grand Theft Astro!

Hold your horses Jezzy, I'm already working on something along the lines of Left 4 Dead

(Working Title: Left Fry Dead)

(Working Title: Left Fry Dead)

That's awful. How about following the Futurama tradition of math puns?

Left √4 Dead

You sir, are a genius!

Well, that's what my name tag says.

I certainly wouldn't say no to a new Futurama game - I just upgraded to a 120GB PS3, so until they come up with the rumoured backwards-compatible patch, I'm Futurama-less.

As for sandbox-style...I dunno. It's an interesting idea, but you'd need more than just NNY to make it work - and a certain amount of structure isn't a bad thing. I say this after playing the new Wolfenstein all week; freedom to explore is all well and good, but it does get tiring having to go over the same ground again and again in the course of missions. Having an overarching theme in there to give the player at least a general idea of what to do in what order would cut way down on the frustration factor.

Of course, having the show's sense of humour in there as well would take the edge off; Wolfenstein has no discernible sense of humour - at all. (Really, it doesn't; it has sh*tloads of blood, but not so much as a giggle in sight.)

In conclusion, I dunno; if they did it right, sure, why not. If not...ergh.

Have you played Grand Theft Auto? What about The Simpsons: Hit & Run?

[Reply #51 on:]

Arcades are pretty dead these days aren't they? Still, if they made an arcade style game and put it on the Playstation, GamecubeWii, Xbox360 stores, that'd be nice. Or non arcade. So long as it isn't racing or an MMO.

Edit: Way to not notice the second page, me.

[Reply #52 on:]

You know what would work pretty well for Futurama? If they used cel-shading!! ^^

I think that would give the game a unique look and the graphics would be kinda similar to that one game, Cel-Damage. 

Except with Futurama characters, and you could go exploring in the game too, like Roger said. 

[Reply #53 on:]

They did look reasonably good in the first game, which was indeed cel-shaded.

[Reply #54 on:]

No, It wasn't.

It was just a trick they did by duplicating the character meshes, expanding them turning them black inverting them with enabled back face culling, which has nothing to do with shading.

Example:


Though the video cut scenes were cel-shaded because they were pre-rendered.

Believe me, I know what I'm talking about.

[Reply #55 on:]

......Freako, can I get you to make a fully-textured map for GTA based on my hometown, so that I can run around my own town and kill everybody who's ever wronged me?

I'd pay you with compliments.

[Reply #56 on:]

Or they could just of added the lines win post, which is how Champions Online does it. Does the PS2 even handle post processing.

[Reply #57 on:]

NO.

[Reply #58 on:]

^^^^^^

Does someone pay you to use that?

Yes! I've always wanted to throw people off of the the bridge into the Shoalhaven River. Please do this Freako and I too will pay you in compliments!

That's what I said; They used a sandwich and everything was opaque. As a result cutscenes = cel-shaded, game play = cel-shaded - 1

[Reply #62 on:]

Now you're confusing me.

[Reply #63 on:]

Have you played Grand Theft Auto? What about The Simpsons: Hit & Run?

I have played H&R...and didn't really like it. There were some interesting things in there, but there was no structure - hell, there was even less structure than in Wolfenstein, where you at least slowly get some idea of what the big picture is, and therefore what you should be trying to do, and in what order.

The ability to run around NNY and interact with all sorts of people and things would be cool, but I think the game would need some kind of structure or narrative thread, as opposed to just 'go nuts'. Say, having a To Do list each day, tailored to what character you are - and what happens next depends on what your character did/n't do that day, and in what order. Otherwise, you're just wandering around mindlessly - and even Fry, mindless though he can be, has some structure to his day.

[Reply #64 on:]

So you're saying you want a Futurama version of Postal 2?

Get onto that, Freako! Well... when you're done the million other Futurama things you're working on I mean.

[Reply #65 on:]

Here's something you may or may not find interesting,

In the commentary for The Futurama game's cut scenes on the Beast With A Billion Backs DVD, David Cohen said when they first got the cut scenes in he sent a note back saying "This looks bad, make it better"

Well If you compare the cut scenes from the game with that from the trailer of the Futurama game from season 4 disc 4, you really always should give that note.





hah.

"Make it better"
Heh, I like David X.

Oh you fucker. I was expecting something truly life-changing at the tip of that spoiler-pyramid. I want that fifteen seconds of my life back!

[Reply #69 on:]

You'd only waste it anyway.

Although, if you wanna look again, I might have just changed it to something better.

Ahh! You son of a bitch! That wasn't better!

Although you were right - I did waste it again.

And now your training is complete, Coldy. Your reward is now in the last spoiler tag (oh yeah, there's one more now ).

[Reply #73 on:]

I'M NOT LOOKING!

Just look, goddammit!

[Reply #75 on:]

Okay, that was alright.

Darn tootin'!

Here's a better idea for my Clash of the Omicrons idea:

Instead of Fry and Zoidberg both getting captured by Lrrr and Ndnd, Fry gets knocked out via a stun gun, and Zoidberg gets captured by the Omicrons.  Along the way Leela, Bender, Hermes, and Amy go through obstacles and have to find a cure for Fry. 

In case nobody knew what  I was talking about, The Omicrons discover a goldmine under PE and wanted Farnsworth to hand it over to them. 

[Reply #78 on:]

Goldmine? I think they're set without the gold, try a cache of rare Beta cassettes from the 20th/21st century.

[Reply #79 on:]

What about a Futurama Ipod Touch/iPhone game? They recently released a Simpsons iPhone game.
