Holy SHIT! This Simpson's game looks so stoopid I can't help but posting about it.
Ok, so a Simpson's game sounds like a great idea about now, but from this video and from another few I have seen of just the game footage, it looks like they had NO IDEA what the hell they wanted to make.
EA gets a brilliant license and they think that they can throw any old lame game idea to it and it will sell tons of copies. Well, I'm not saying that they won't sell copies of this game, but from what I have seen so far, they don't have a good idea to save their lives.
Look, the Simpsons is a brilliant IP. It demands the respect of a brilliant game to be on par with it. So, I would hope for something where it feels like I am playing through an entire season of the show. WOW...game designers unite and call me dumb if this isn't the perfect time for that grand old action adventure genre you morons buried for games like Madden <Enter Year Here>.
Sorry for the brief rant, but I really really really really expected more from EA than a damn platformer. Go make another Sims game and give back some of your other IPs.
Argh...I'm already bored with Spore!
Interesting to know.
