Fans of Seth McFarlane's Family Guy cartoon had mixed reactions when hearing about 2K Games making a game based on the show. When any license makes the leap to gaming, the interactive result can be a shell of what it was derived from.
The debate will no doubt linger on with the announcement of the first details of Family Guy, which is scheduled for release this fall on current-gen consoles.
Gamers will be able to switch back and forth between three characters: bumbling patriarch Peter Griffin, matricidal maniac Stewie, and martini-swigging canine Brian. Each playable character will have its own storyline--Peter is out to stop Mr. Belvedere from taking over the world, Stewie goes up against his archenemy Bertram, and Brian tries to escape his wrongful imprisonment.
Family Guy is loaded with tangential joke after joke that pokes fun at pop culture, and the 2K title will be no different, but in the game the jokes will be interactive. Gameplay is described by 2K Games as a combination of "combat, stealth, and puzzle-solving gameplay" throughout familiar locations in the show's setting of Quahog, Rhode Island.
Family Guy has not yet been priced or rated. Look for more details during GameSpot's E3 coverage. For more information on the Family Guy TV show, head over to TV.com.
I
cant wait by the way, this game will be rated M on the back of my MAD magazine (#470) there was and ad for it it will be rated Mature for: -Mature Humor -Partial Nudity -Violence
Awesome-tastic!
I hope its awesome and doesnt suck hardcore.
Took them a while, didn't it? South Park had 2 games out shortly after it's initial release, and The Simpsons.. well... Lets hope Seth Macfarlane and crew colaborate on this one. It is a good licence.
Dark_Link87 Family Guy - The Movie rocked.Dont rate the game before youve tried it.It could be the sleeper hit of this year.
This game will be awsome.. I just hope it doesnt bomb!
Family Guy iz now coming to video games!!! I think I died and went to heaven! :D
i hpoe they do good jokes like "coming up diannes weight".
i hope they make good jokes like this one "coming up diannes weight".
dont ever say that something is going to be bad or even good for that matter until it is out or something like that.
giggidy giggidy giggidy!!!!
Please don't make this like Futurama. It would be better if you could play as the superhero versions of the characters from Season 3's "Viewer Mail #1"
Absolutely LOVE the show, but I'm not liking the screenshots...looks a little weak to me.
The Game's graphics remind me of the futurama game that came out a couple of years ago. That was a pretty decent game, in my opinion, and I hope that Family Guy: The Game is better than futurama and not just a crappy cartoon-game rushed out in time for Xmas, like the many simpsons games we love to hate.
this game looks alright i would like to play it so far ill give it probly 7.0 good
yesss!!!
When i told my friend about this he said "im gonna buy it!" He is over obsessed. The Biggest Fan I know.
If thats what the games gonna look like 4get it i love family guy but that looks like a GHEY game right there
Cell shading i like.....Jaggies i don't
im not so happy........but it better be good
Ugh that cell shading is horible. And usually when a game has lazy visuals, the gameplay is sure to follow.
GIGGITY GIGGITY ALLRIGHT!!!! Hey, don't diss it. I will bet that this is WAY better than either SImpsons: Road Rage or Simpsons: Hit & Run. The 3-D Simpsons characters frankly stunk, imho. BJ
At least it's cel-shaded and matches the style of the show . That alone makes me feel slightly optimistic.
holy crap this game looks pathetic, stick to the shows familyguy the movie sucked and i believe the game will suck.
I wonder if they will hire their staff of manatees to write the script. Or perhaps they will try to make actual jokes, instead of having the usual out-of-continuity cutaways, that are interchangeable and have nothing to do with the plot jokes.
people.. its just a damn video game.. if its good, fine.. if its not its not.. no big deal.. family guy rocks and hopefully it will be at least decen.., no high expectations, but it would be kool if the game was good and sold well just out of spite to all the constant b*tching douche bags on this site..
This game is probably gonna suck... just a feeling.
homer : what those damn mecenaries bart : so thats why they are called family geeks marge : ohh dear , homer thy neighbours are a disgrace to the cartoon society lisa : In order to succed one must not look like a fat white man instead a fat yellow man maggie : (i cant make out the words for the sound maggie makes lol)
I hope this isnt as bad as most games that are based on T.V. shows and Movies.
Ugh....I hope this isnt as bad as most games that are based on T.V. shows and Movies...
looks like ass.
I'd just like to give my condolences in advance for anyone lame enough to pick up a copy when it drops.
Will it be anygood though looks like its got the same gameplay and graphics as the Futurama game and that was crap (not the show)
Yes go Family GUy!
I don't like Family Guy and I think the game is just going to flop.
The screenshots shown their dont look that great to me, but I wasnt getting my hopes up for the game anyway. Lets hope I am wrong.
Looks dumb.
This game might actually be sorta fun, that is if you are into Family Guy at all.
Giggedy...
you'll not find a bigger fan of Family Guy than me, but this game is going to suck soooooooo bad. What a disgrace to the show.
Looks good! Hopefuly it will be free roaming.
Looks good and I love the show, But I'm more likely to go and rent it then to buy it.
I'm predicting "DDD"
Giggity-giggity! Enough said...
2K Games have produced a few good games also some dodgy ones but as long as Seth McFarlane has enough involvement, the comedy should be great, gameplay questionable as what tv shows are made into good games anyway these days. Saying that I probably will jsut end up buying it for the jokes unless its the usual short game rushed out to fill wallets.
This is more than likely going to be very bad. Not everything was meant to be made into a video game. i.e. paris hilton making video games
the game is going to be real bad
you never know it might be good, if they get the orginal actors in and do the parody cutscenes in cartoon form, also if they do video game parodys (peter trying to fit into master chief outfit)
This REALLY looks like a budget title
