Connected Internet: A Quick Look At The Simpsons Video Game

  • Angie · 2 years ago
    The Simpson Movie tie ins are pure magic. I am pretty sure I have never seen such effective movie marketing. A video game? Certainly. It's the norm. Have you seen pictures of the convenience stores they are totally reworking as promos>?

    Yes what they did to the 7-11 stores was really cool. I'd love to own a Buzz cola can ;)

    My kids are gonna love this. Maybe me too hmm. Of course I'll only be playing this because my kids ask me to help them out from time to time. Pretty good excuse right?
  • Dennis Bjørn Petersen · 2 years ago
    Don't worry BB. We believe you..of course you won't be playing this for your own sake...

    Dennis, you wrote:
    I think EA (Electronic Arts) has found the recipe - Don’t make the video game a copy of the movie.


    Dennis, I agree with you but stil... why is it so? Is it mere psychology or do games that follow the movie always turn out to be bad? Great post by the way!

    ForumeR:
    18 years in the making... The first reviews say it reminds you of a 87 mins. long episode. That's what I want. I'm always afraid when TV-shows are made into movies. Think X-Files, that movie was disappointing (there are even rumours of a sequel now). I'm glad they waited until they had something solid to make a movie over.

    Thank you very much.
    I think the games based on movies often are very created on very tight schedules. They have to be ready just around the movie premiere in order to get the extra promotion. Rushed projects usually doesn't turn out good. Often they fail to capture the same setting/mood as in the movies.

    Yea I guess that makes sense. The less time you get to make something profound instead of just a quick (and bad) copy of the movie.

    The graphic looks terrible, PS3 and Xbox 360 gamers most likely don't like it..
  • Dennis Bjørn Petersen · 2 years ago
    I'm not sure I agree with you on that k-net. The demo shows some real Simpsons graphic. I think it looks pretty good and real.

    It looks like you guys are pretty excited about the console release! I’m helping to promote this new Simpsons widget you can grab for desktop/embedding that has a countdown clock/wallpapers/mobile stuff/more:
