Uhh...We Got Nuthin'

Seriously...just insert your own imaginary picture to headline this cause I can't think of a damn thing that would capture the entirety of what I am about to tell you.

The guys from Zootfly who released that short gameplay video of the, now dead, Ghostbusters game from way back when, have decided to make....something else.

It involves Mr. T taking on Nazis. And yes, it's that Mr. T. On his quest to take on the Third Reich, he'll be joined by none other than Will Wright. And yes, it's that Will Wright.

I'm really not kidding you and I only WISH this was April 1st, but I'm not and this isn't. If there is any more updates on this, especially screens or a video, we'll update you, but as it is now, we just don't know what to think.

This will be the best game ever created.

I hope it is a Snake - Otacon type relationship. Mr. T is beating Nazi ass while Wright it building robots and discussing city planning.

Really, man...there's like an endless number of combinations we could hear from the man. And I welcome every damn one of them.

Hell, make them user submitted, even.

Y'know, if this somehow bridges Mr. T's fourth-wall-breaking WoW commercial with Will Wright somehow making a video game that Mr. T is part of, and adds elements of Matt Hazard's game-plot-within-a-game-plot, then I can see this being hilarious.

However, in describing it, I've already thought about it too much. I'll just say 'ROCKTACULAR' and move on.

I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall in the board room when they cooked this one up. I want to know what deranged collection of human thoughts led to this.

So it's based on a Mr. T graphic novel?

From the website:
Quote:
The graphic novel uses its real-life star as a platform to address controversial "hot potato" real-life issues, such as kidnap, gun crime and sex offenders.

The story also mixes in all the adrenaline-fuelled action normally associated with the television tough guy, including a dejected armor-clad maniac, an unstoppable lumberjack, mysterious costumed adversaries, and someone who appears far to familiar for comfort.
Though it appears that Will Wright is only part of the game adaptation. And the same with the nazis.

Those influenced heavily by drugs and/or drinking. I picture devs doing lines of coke off a stripper's ass when this idea was born.

God bless them.

There is no way on earth, hell or mars that a sober mind came up with this shit. I haven't heard a more hilarious premise. I am loling like crazy here.

i like how Will is cast as: "a top-notch American geneticist who was kidnapped and coerced to work on a diabolic plan."

is there a parallel there between Spore and EA?

Okay, now how about a game starring William Shatner and Christopher Walken, teaming up to fight crime? Or zombies.

What about Nazi Zombies who've become Pirates since they don't have the resources of Germany behind them anymore?

Thoughts from the marketing team, their focus groups and the PR people. This might be the first great game from these deranged people.
