- Magic07, on 10/12/2007, -4/+46oh this has so much potential to suck...i will, however, hold out hope that it does not
- jimmy0x52, on 10/12/2007, -5/+17They better remember the #1 rule:
NO
FAT
CHICKS - gumby05, on 10/12/2007, -3/+13A Stewie Take Over the World RTS maybe?
- Xiol, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10I really don't know why they just can't stop it with these cash-in games.
Every movie out these days has it's own tie-in game that is obviously rushed to production without any thought or love, and just shoved out to make some money.
Now, I love Family Guy, don't get me wrong, but I really cannot see this being pulled off successfully either. I imagine it'll suck, but because FG fans will suck it up - and they know it - they'll make it to try and make a buck or two.
I think it was the God of War creator that said you need to put love and soul into a game... I really doubt this will have either.
But here's hoping I'm wrong! - _Caboose_, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6From the article:
"We are looking forward to bringing the colourful Family Guy characters to life in a one-of-a-kind action/adventure style game."
So it could be a 3rd person... something? :| - Thorpe, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7The Simpsons have done it and Futurama have done it. I can see this heading the same way which I for one will be pleased for.
- AHIGHERGOD, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6But will it suck as much as every other video game based on TV, Movies or Comics? I dont care how good it looks. It better not play like *****. mmm Superman 64.
- mrASSMAN, on 10/12/2007, -7/+10yeah, your the only one.
- SweetsGreen, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I wonder if it will be as good a SouthPark for the N64
- _Caboose_, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4Why current gen? Why not wait until the rest of the next gen consoles come out, then make it? It'll only be about a year, and I for one am willing to wait that long. If it comes out on PS2, GC and/or Xbox, it'll be overlooked a couple months after it comes out, pushed aside by newer games for newer consoles.
- theragu40, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4It's so obvious that it will be terrible. Think about how long it took for even a mediocre Simpsons game to come out. I wish that companies wouldn't license a brand that has no real potential to be a good game just to dupe fans of the licensed material into buying a shoddily made game. How many people sat there watching Family Guy and said "Gee, this would make a great game!!"? Probably not too many. I love Family Guy, and I really don't want to see its good reputation shat upon by a money hungry developer.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Is this game going to be made up of nothing but flashbacks?
- dannycohen62, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Don't forget that South Park game for N64!
Maybe it'll be that one from the bump on Adult Swim - Oniadric, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Could be fun...but what premise could it be besides a hit and run or platformer? Please...don't say fighter.
- Spon, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I hope this game is like the Simpson's Arcade game. that game ruled! imagine... 4 player... Peter, Lois, Chris, Meg and Brian all trying to stop Stewie from ruling the world. huh huh, that'd be cool. Old School Side Scroll
- mtonak, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2They should make it an adventure game like Monkey Island, or Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis... Those games work great from comedy.
- Sentinel, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2This might be good... but probably not.
- brandizzle, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2It will suck.
People will flock to it like mad, because everyone loves Family Guy.
It will make billions of dollars.
They will continue making more, because this one made money.
(& I know I'm going to be one of the people who buy it because it's Family Guy and says "this sucks") - chewbaccapits, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3This has way to go..I've seen tests and it is getting better....Cannot form a real opinion on the game until the final release....
- radixus, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3I don't think that will be the case. There is still a great push for current generation consoles. Plus Sony has already confirmed the PS3 delay until the holidays and probably a better chance that it will be delayed until 2007 as well.
So having this game come out for the current-gen isn't that bad. They might be releasing a port for when next-gen consoles actually start doing business!
This game has a chance to be good - hopefully they don't screw it up! - maram500, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I found that the Simpsons games reaching back to Bar vs. The Space Mutants have been pretty good games. I have been waiting for a Family Guy game for so long now, and finally someone takes the initiative to make one. But I wish they'd let gamers play as Quagmire--you know you want to...
Once it's released, we'll all have a few chuckles, maybe a few genuine guffaws, but after awhile we'll go back to laughing our [expletive deleted]s off at Peter, Lois, and all. Here's hoping some of the voices that appeared in the series make an appearnace. I really want to hear Adam West again.
Here's one last thing--an idea for a levl in the game. Why not have a racing level with Joe Swanson? (No, I'm not making fun of him; I just think it'd be interesting.) - stonedgeek, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Here's my thinking:
Side scrolling or "Monkey Island" style adventure for current gen consoles and pocket pc.
Play as Peter Griffin (I don't like how they switch characters in tv crossovers)
Hidden sex mini game with Quagmire (ala gta sa) (ok, they'll have to switch characters for that bit)
Big sign on the cd case that says "Over 18s only. If you buy this game for an underage relative or friend you forfeit the right to sue or even complain"
As much gratituous sex, violence, alcohol/drug/foul language that can fit on a cdrom (people are comparing this to the simpsons games, but lets face it these are two very different shows)
Lindsey Lohan naked walking like a crab. - pippin, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Proboly will suck but hey its family Guy. Known for its stupidity and randomness. i'll proboly buy it if it comes out !!!
Hopefully you can be Stewie and use all his crazy high powerd guns to take total domination of the world.
Remember: No FAT CHICKS!! - stonedgeek, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Are you kidding? Simpsons Hit & Run was TERRIBLE!
- canucksin2006, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2But remember how many games it took to get it right.
- Chex, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Some of the old Simpsons games were cool... 2D. They arent going to take the time to make the cell shading look as good as it could. Run of mill crap developer High Voltage... have such classics as Charlie and the chocolate factory and lets not forget Duelmasters. This company baiscly gets handed the crap from other big companys that they dont want to work on. http://www.high-voltage.com/ take a peak they blow this game will to...
- Disease, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2It needs the chicken fight
- jpesicka2, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1i hope for a handheld version for the ds aswell. it probably won't come for the psp, because psp version are slightly different with different titles.
- tomcrusoe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This will be one of the greatest games ever how can you say it will be crap when you haven't even seen a clip of it so in the words of stewie what the hell do you think your doing dugging this game
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Ive known about it for a couple of months now.
And I knew it would suck when I first heard about it - Grupstra, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1What a waste of game development time.
I love Family guy, but come on. - mDJstudios, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I could see something along the lines of a Beat Em' Up type of game similar to The Simpsons arcade game.. But then again, that seems kind of obsolete on a gamecube or xbox.
- chewbaccapits, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Sidenote:...I will have one of the writers who worked on the videogame on the FAMILYGUY podcast very soon....Been hard trying to get everyone to schedule a podcast...So if your interested subscribe but stay away from the earlier podcast...Look at the timeframe, I host the ones that are 20-30 minutes in length....
- sych0, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Great! Maybe itll be as good as the 24 game!
- secretrk1313, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Online peter griffin battles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- jdgtrplyr, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1This will most likely flop; video games based on television shows have never done very well -- prime example: the Simpsons video games. But good going Fox, show us what you got!
- musicgenius, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Hmmm I'm sensing a little pessimism about this topic.
- ScarSuit, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I'd imagine Stewie being the main character, but we'll see.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1They better have a Peter vs. Giant Chicken fight!
- ever, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I'm pretty sure after some success in Japan we'll be seeing Ultimate Family Guy Championship Densetsu Turbo 4 GX coming to a console near you in 2008.
:( - ArthurSucks, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1The problem with these games is they focus EVERYTHING into graphics and nothing into gameplay. It's time for text games again!
- nonchallant0819, on 03/30/2008, -0/+0This is a great story... found this one through http://www.google.com

- jpesicka2, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1i hope it's also backwards compatible with the xbox 360, they need an update so i can play this & black on my xbox 360
- jpesicka2, on 10/12/2007, -1/+124 the game sucks ass the controls are worse than the show, camera glitches too
- msprout, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Haha. Welcome to the circle of Life.
Game sucks, sells well, more sucky games. They reproduce asexually - their food is your money! - jpesicka2, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1it'll be an online first person shooter with stewie
- Celsius032, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I'm sure what we all want is to see Peter Griffin's Lard in High Def.
- gamerzworld, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Rockstar would do a lot better than 2K.
- computermatt, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1YES, please a Family Guy RPG!
