Posted by Zonk on from the Omnipotence.-Gotta-get-me-some-of-that. dept.

antifoidulus writes "According to Businesswire there is a Family Guy video game in the works, set to hit the street sometime next year. The game is being developed by Take-Two Interactive. The press releases contains only a few scant details, but the game will be a 3rd person action game that puts you in control of various members of the once cancelled animated family." From the article: "The massive licensing and merchandising program on tap will coincide with the new series launch for Family Guy on May 1st, and is expected to be one of the company's largest product blitzes to date."

      Objection! Family Guy took a few comedic elements that the Simpsons used in some of the middle seasons, and the show is pretty much a hasty framework on which to hang predictable cutaway gags, random and consistent placement of widely remembered pop culture bits in unlikely positions, and hit-and-miss attempts at real humor. An episode here and there is amusing, but when one watches it consistently, the reuse of maybe three humor devices becomes predictable, and one begins to see the hastily assembled show underneath. Despite that, I still watch it on occasion and enjoy some of the humor. And the more general riffs on some broad cultural feature can be amusing. One of my favorite bits in the show is the Brian and Stewie-hosted introduction to the Treehouse of Horror/Anthology of Interest-style episode in the (until recently) final season, as it's not (to me, at least) obviously pulling from any single source, but is definitely using some vaudevillean standard base.

      Also, it's not hard to come up with comical juxtapositions of particular cultural icons. Observe:

      Peter: "Hey, i-it's like that time that the Beav witnessed that mob hit!" [cut to black-and-white scene of child looking in horror as gunshots are fired, perhaps injecting a bit of Road to Perdition by having Ward as one of the mobsters]

I'd like to add to that certain other fans who hail the purported unprecedented creative genius of Seth MacFarlane while blissfully ignoring the liberal (and freely admitted by MacFarlane himself) borrowing of humor from a particular era of the Simpsons.

      That said, I do find Simpsons episodes of that era to be more story-based than Family Guy. With Simpsons, I remember particular episodes and generally the context of jokes within.

      Freakin' sweet! It could be based on the Y2K apocolypse episode and you'd have to fight off mutant giant rats, hordes of tentacled Stewies and Randy Newman on your mission to find the fabled Carvel factory.

      But why stop there? They could also do a "Tropico" style game based on the country of Petoria... or an X-Wing style game of Stewie shooting down rival sperms... or an FPS game of Lois trying to escape from Stewie's "American McGee" style nursery nightmare of death and dismemberment. The possibilities are endless!

  72. Family guy? What a joke by Trogre · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    After watching many episodes I'm convinved it's really just a spout of social commentaries by three old cynics.

    One pretends to be a family guy, another is dressed up as a dog, and the other one thinks he's a baby.

  74. wait till you father gets home by zakezuke · · Score: 1

    I find Family Guy to be way overrated. Its like Simpsons, but on speed or something. Once in a while, its funny, but they really over do it.

    Family guy
    Wait Till your father gets home

    I have to admit... I was first turned off from Family Guy because I found it to be very similar to "Wait Till Your Father Gets Home". In fact i'm still convienced that the characters were modeled after this little known Hanna Barbera cartoon. The "why me" father figure... the brain damaged son with bad hair... the wife that puts everything into perspective... the daughter who's obsessed with losing weight... and the child/baby who's plotting for money/world domination. It grows on you and you accept the fact that it's just a very good parity of the old great family comedies like "All in the family" and "Happy Days". It makes you sit back and smile and question whether or not television has improved over the past 30 years.
