[Reply #280 on:]

I'd make a videogame myself if I had any idea how to make videogames.

Leela said that? Oh my... 

Very cool!

A Futurama RPG would be pretty nice, so would a fighting game, or a Mario Party style game

[Reply #283 on:]

Or anything really. But I'd go more with RPG than the other two.

[Reply #284 on:]

Yeah, RPGs are my personal fave, to be honest.

[Reply #285 on:]

Nearly a decade on and I'm still totally obsessed with Final Fantasy 7. Imagine the Futurama Universe in a similar framework... the possibilities are endless... But who would be Fry's Sephiroth? There aren't any truly EVIL villians in Futurama to fill that black cape.

Maybe the creature who bought the milky way galaxy

you know they have a program called gamemaker, its free and it makes programming games much easier than  learning programming from scratch

this is the site http://www.gamemaker.nl/

[Reply #288 on:]

Yeah... looks cool... but y'know... there's still the *effort* issue to contend with.

[Reply #289 on:]

Oh go on! Then you can give the URL to us to play on it 

I would, but Im doing a psychology essay about the different theories of sleep. Oh the joy.

[Reply #290 on:]

Mehhhhhh! Can't someone else do it? I'm tired, and there are mice eating my foot...

[Reply #291 on:]

I would be worried about that if I were you :|

Haha, unless theyre pets.Hmm :P

[Reply #292 on:]

I consider them housemates, though technically I'm their tennant.

[Reply #293 on:]

Aww, thats sweet..

*gets prodded with taser*

Aww, dats shooo schweet...

Off topic, sorry, do apologise. I think there should be another Futurama game, I mean, the first one is amazing. I could never tire of it 

Are there any plans in the works?

[Reply #294 on:]

Not according to google, no.

[Reply #295 on:]

*sighs*

Too busy buying Youtube-thats what!
*growls at google*

Kings who build their opulent palaces, gardens and mausoleums on the banks of a river of nothingness, will inevitably fall headlong into that nothingness and will be as nothing themselves.
We live in an age of transience. The kings of today will rattle their begging cups on the street tomorrow. And perhaps this is as it should be.

[Reply #297 on:]

Yay! My brother and I rented the game today, so far it's fantastic... I haven't gotten past Fry's levels yet, but it's fun.

[Reply #298 on:]

Cool TLF, and WHAT the hell was I talking about in the previous post there? I don't remember writing that.... I must have been drunk.

It's that for PS2? I've got a monster PC but nothing else - not even a GameBoy. I may get it and try to run it on the PC. I know, they say it's impossible but guess who played Super Mario Land on the PC? ...Patience and persistence..LEARN, FRY, LEARN!

[Reply #300 on:]

Is the game any good my friend rented it but i never got a chance to play the game I had to do a report for school which srwed over my whole winter brake. 

[Reply #301 on:]

The question "is it any good?" will have been answered several times over the course of the last eight pages of discussion if you'd taken a moment to skim through.   

Nevertheless, I shall humour you - yeah, it's pretty fun. It's just a simple easy platformer with linear levels, but for a fan of the show it isn't something to be passed up.

[Reply #302 on:]

I only wish there was another one....

[Reply #303 on:]

Oh, there will be, if I have anything to say about it!
...which I clearly don't.

[Reply #304 on:]

As long as the show gains enough momentum with the new episodes, there's a good chance

[Reply #305 on:]

I really hope so; this game gave me reason to live again, and stick with my amateur gaming skills!

[Reply #306 on:]

As mentioned at great length before, I hope for a new Futurama game with more free-roaming exploration aspects as seen in The Simpsons: Hit & Run.

[Reply #307 on:]

I love Simpsons: Hit and Run. Oh man, a Futurama version would be awesome.

[Reply #308 on:]

New New York would, I think, be a lot more fun to run amok in than Springfield. You'd have flying cars and stuff.

[Reply #309 on:]

I agree, a futurama style Hit and Run would be great.

Though if there is a new game I hope that it would be more challenging that the existing one which I found to be too easy.

[Reply #310 on:]

Actually, I would love a new Futurama game with more or less the same format. I cant remember what its called (platform?) but I much prefer going through places systematically rather than just aimless wandering. I played a bit on Grand Theft Auto, and that really annoyed me, cause all I was doing was killing people and picking up girls randomly. Yawn.
Haha.

Yes, indeed. And, because I'm a rather demanding bastard, I'd like there to be some Role Playing elements involved, especially with character interactions. Like selecting responses to questions and such to build or demolish relationships with the rest of the cast.

It's not really lilke that - there is a plot and missions and all, but the freedom to take a breather from the story and go sightseeing is really very welcome to most gamers. GTA is geared more toward randomness than other imitators though - have you played The Simpsons Hit & Run?
It's different when everything's comedy-orientated.

[Reply #312 on:]

I havent, although I have heard some stuff about it (Hit and Run). I guess I just dont like the freedom to go off somewhere randomly (which sounds really really weird). I like particular goals within a game. If there isnt a reward in what I'm doing, then there doesnt seem like much point.I guess I'm just one of those loser gamers. I mean cmon, I like Rayman and dance games and stuff like that *hides behind cushion in embarrassment
 Although youre right about the comedy-orientated bit. I wouldnt have been overly that fussed about the Futurama game unless Futurama was involved, I mean, like the story and characters and voices and funny stuff and all.

[Reply #313 on:]

Yes well the 'freedom' element doesn't necessarily imply aimlessness (though many take great pleasure in exploring the locales or doing stunts in vehicles). What usually happens is there are all kinds of side-missions/races/jobs and hidden extras to be found at one's leisure that don't need to be done in order to finish the story section of the game, but add replay value.

[Reply #314 on:]

Ahhhh I seee, like minigames and stuff? Oooh I like them! But I dont like finding them, I just like them being there, dunno why, probably cause I'm lazy. Plus cause then if you dont find them you feel stupid when everyone else is talking about them.
I thought you meant aimlessness, which I'm not that fussed about really.

[Reply #315 on:]

I also think a mario party style game would be neat, just a bunch of fun random futurama mini games

[Reply #316 on:]

I wish I could get the game, but it must have been cancled before I became a Futurama fan!

[Reply #317 on:]

Er... you can still find it in most games stores, likely in the budget bin now.
Alternatively you could always just get it off eBay:

[Reply #318 on:]

[Reply #319 on:]

Did you ask them if they could order it for you?
