Family Guy Video Game in the Works
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."
the object of the game will be to end the life of the wife, with the knife!
Ok, who told the Studio execs that there's other ways to make money than just produce a cartoon show?
Guess it was downhill from the first DVD, see how long it takes for the Stewey branded Diapers.
Waiting for an amusing sig.

Nothing bugs me quite like a video game based on a tvshow/movie that uses the same characters but different voices.
"The talented voice cast includes: Seth MacFarlane (as Peter Griffin, Brian Griffin, Stewie Griffin and more), Alex Borstein (as Lois Griffin), Seth Green (as Chris Griffin), and Mila Kunis (as Meg Griffin)."
According to that statement it appears they will use the regular people for the voices! Excellent.
Maybe the voices will be more believable than in Simspsons: Hit and Run. Heck, maybe it'll be a better game overall... but I doubt it. Games made after TV/Movies are usually fun for a while, but not for extended amounts of time (for me, anyway).
Maybe, but somehow Uwe Boll would get the rights to it.

This kind of thing (animated series) doesn't need a video game, because it's GREAT the way it is. A video game, which who knows how seriously it will be taken (its production, not its content), is just cheapening the brand for true fans, ESPECIALLY if the game sucks.
And no, if it's good I won't take back my complaining. I just won't tell anyone I like it.

Product blitzes! Mechandising programs! That sounds like an AWESOME game.

If they don't do the "Remember that time when..." scenes, it's not family guy. :)
Freeze Ray. Tell your friends.
I got an idea, an idea so smart my head would explode if I even began to know what I was talking about.
Hey now! I'm a fan of the classic Simpsons arcade game! You know, the one with up to 4 players that wasted an incredible amount of quarters?
...Had this been an actual emergency, we would have fled in terror, and you would not have been informed.
I used to start a custom game with all Homers and watch the AI characters fight. Just watching 6 Homers jumping all over the place, yelling "Woo-Hoo", or "My legs ... I can't feel my legs", or doing the victory dance "I am evil Homer! I am evil Homer!" when taunting other characters just left me in tears I was laughing so hard. (Obviously, graduate school and fatigue make the stupidest things feel pretty hilarious. :) -- Paul

Yeah but IMHO the cell shaded 3D scenes esp. the space fights and such were really worth it. I thought the animation was some of the best I had seen on TV. I like the one when Bender is floating through space with a civilation growing on his stomach. I love Family Guy, but I miss Futurama almost as much I wish they would create a super cartoon block (Simpsons 8, Futurmama 8:30, Family Guy 9, and then get rid of malcom and put arreted development at 9:30) best sunday night ever.

Yes, very conservative... But the show doesn't pander. I think you're reading a bit too much into it. They pretty much insult everybody.
