Rockstar "spazzed out like little babies"

Wii News | The Simpsons Game

Oct 29, 2007 An EA producer has said that Rockstar "spazzed out like little babies" in reaction to the GTA parody in The Simpsons Game. The comedy spoof level, titled Grand Theft Scratchy, didn't go down too well with GTA publisher Rockstar, who forced EA to rename the level; now called the not-so-clever 'Mob Rules' stage. Speaking on GameTrailer's Game Head program, Simpsons executive producer Matt Selman explained where the controversy began: "The game begins with Bart wanting to play a ... » Read More

Grand Theft Scratchy lives on

Wii News | The Simpsons Game

Oct 23, 2007 Apparently Rockstar were among a number of game companies that werent happy with the way The Simpsons Game, out for 360, Wii, PS2, DS 2 November, was parodying their creations and wanted somethings removed from the final code.

The Simpsons serves Hot Coffee

Wii News | The Simpsons Game

Oct 8, 2007 We've already discovered that EA were nudged into cutting parts of The Simpsons Game, as reported by lead designer Greg Rizzer, but it seems there's been plenty of mickey-taking left in too - most humourously an Achievement for the 360 version called Hot Coffee. Now, wait. This isn't an unlockable cartoon version of that most infamous of GTA scandals. Instead, it's awarded for completing a timed challenge in the Rockstar-poking level of The Simpsons Game titled Grand Theft ... » Read More

EA upsets games companies with The Simpsons

Wii News | The Simpsons Game

October 4, 2007 EA's forthcoming The Simpsons game parodies 30 years of videogaming and gaming IPs, but there are games companies that have refused to see the funny side of things. "I was always under the impression that when you do parody, it's a sign of respect... If we make fun of Grand Theft Auto, we're not going to hurt the sales of Grand Theft Auto... But yeah, we've definitely had some reactions - we've had to pull stuff from the game", The Simpsons lead designer Greg Rizzer revealed ... » Read More

The Simpsons Game video walkthrough

Wii News | The Simpsons Game

31 Aug 2007 Being one of the few hugely devoted Simpson's fans that religiously watches back to back episodes on cable TV every night, buys the box sets and regularly attempts to defend the recent series lack of form on the pretence they usually have at least one laugh out loud Homer moment, we've been rooting for a decent Simpsons game for years. Having to put up with people claiming that Hit 'n' Run was a 'good' Simpsons game (no it wasn't) was bad enough but the fact it turned out to be ... » Read More

E3 07: When GamesRadar met The Simpsons Movie...

Wii News | The Simpsons Game

Tuesday 10 July 2007 So there we were, lounging in the bar of our hotel in Santa Monica, sipping daiquiris and enjoying the live musical noodlings of the Cross Heart Jazz Experience when David Silverman, the director of The Simpsons Movie, strolls in with a honking great tuba slung over his shoulder and joins the band for a head-nodding, chin-stroking jazzmatazz of sweet, sweet ear sex. And we thought the tuba was only good for making comedy flatulence parps. Shame on us. When the lights ... » Read More

The Simpsons Game first impressions

Wii News | The Simpsons Game

Electronic Arts just announced their tie-in title for The Simpsons Movie, and the development team hopes to create "the most original game ever." We'll look past the fact that it's already culling ideas from a licensed property and just continue on with the news. Homer, Marge, Bart and Lisa are all playable characters once again, but there's a twist - at the beginning of the game the family learns they've just been licensed for use in a video game. Everything beyond that point is pretty much ... » Read More
