Scarface. Godfather. Taxi Driver.

 

[GhaleonEB]

Still waiting for the "What's Eating Gilbert Grape?" game.

 

[Pedigree Chum]

What's next? Goodfel...

"THQ announces groundbreaking cinematic next-gen title based on Goodfellas...*continued PR speak*"

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

Out of Scarface, The Godfather, and this, I'm expecting this one to be the shittiest, followed closely by Scarface. The Godfather could actually be good.

They've gone too far this time.

Yes.

[Manders]

dont know how this will turn into a game. weird.

 

[evolutionseed]

I totally agree! Taxi Driver isn't even an action driven film, the only real action occurs in the second to last scene.

 

[Amir0x]

Taxi Driver picks up where Martin Scorsese's 1976 film left off, WITH A STORY PENNED BY THE WRITERS OF NAMCO'S DEAD TO RIGHTS.

Holy shit, they really have gone too far. Isn't this against the law? Somehow? Can we dig up some archaic laws from the 1800s that we might vaguely be able to stretch over into the realms of horrible, horrible ideas that may be negative to the welfare of videogaming society?

 

[Roland Hood]

developer Papaya Studio describes it as a story-driven third-person action adventure with on-foot and driving missions in an expansive sandbox city environment

Wow really?

 

[Musashi Wins!]

This is just a flat out raping of popular adult ip's at this point. yuckyuck.

 

[Late Stage Marxist]

The "organizized" poster and "we are the people" sign put a smile on my face, but the other screens and just the basic idea of this movie being turned into a game makes me want to bang my head against the wall repeatedly.

 

[ManaByte]

Let me guess, shitty GTA clone?

 

[Shaheed79]

What is jacked up is that real writers (books, screenplays ect.) would rarely touch a video game with a 50ft. magic pole. Only the mid 90's during the "interactive novel" era were writers becoming heavily involved in game making but they all got out soon after. Games will never be widely accepted as a credible art-form because of license raping like these.

If it's who I think it is, the story's gonna reeeeeeeeeeeeally be craptacular. Gotta love how people in the industry can continue to fail upwards...

 

[Lhadatt]

Generic, low-poly, low-res texture, uninspired crap.

It's obvious the dev team does not like working on this title.

or maybe they don't have millions of dollars to spend on visuals.

 

[Macam]

Scarface. Godfather. Taxi Driver.

This can only mean one thing: Neeeeext!

 

[xsarien]

Why?
Just...Why?

 

[FoneBone]

Someone must DIE.

 

[StoOgE]

I still say this gives Psychonauts 2 hope. Obviously someone at Majesco is somking the good stuff.

 

[mr_sockochris]

Someone must DIE.

Are you talkin' to me? :lol

 

[jgkspsx]

"SEGA is proud to announce a brand-new action-puzzle adventure based on the classic film 'Dog Day Afternoon.'"

 

[Phatty D]

The only difference being that Heat would actually make a good game.

'EA Games are proud to announce "Groundhog Day", a game where you play the same thing over and over and over....'

Nintendo beat them to it (Majora's Mask).

 

[impirius]

I figured that Fight Club : Street Fighter :: Taxi Driver : Crazy Taxi

 

[krypt0nian]

If any of you buy any of these "games" we will know and hunt you down.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Taxi Driver isn't even a fucking action movie for crissakes, unless you count the small shootout scene right at the end. How the hell are the going to make a videogame out of this? I can see it now: Crazy taxi style timed mission where you have to take your date to a porno theatre! GET THERE IN TIME! Fucking pathetic.

Hi. The article you didn't read mentioned the game takes place after the movie.

I don't have lots of hope for the game either but who knows, maybe something good'll come out of it

[Drinky Crow]

I'm working on getting the Merchant-Ivory license. "Remains of the Day X: Mortal Remainz" -will- become a reality.

EDIT: Actually, if I were a game designer, I'd LOVE to get my hands on the license of one of those shitty movies based on Edith Wharton novels, like The Age of Innocence. Only I'd add fucking SWAT troopers and cyborg ninjas and the robot ghost of Larry Bird. Punching the heads off of Victorian-era New York cognoscenti as a highly-trained psionic assassin bred from genetic material taken from the Shroud of Turin looking to avenge the death of his black cop buddy simply COULD. NOT. FAIL.
