Fox Joins MMO Biz With Family Guy Online

[KaosuHamoni]

So... The network whose news channel continually trashes and belittles video games, on the basis that they are violent, pointless and damaging, is proceeding to create an MMO, based on a vulgar, violent and crude television show?

Hypocrisy, Thy name is...

 

[Ranorak]

Catching the greased-up-deaf-guy.
Fighting the giant chicken.
Cure Quagmire's STD's

Nah... I can't see it going anywhere good. Just like that time when...

 

[FallenRainbows]

...and this is how the world ends,
not with a bang, not with a whimper
But with a fart joke.

This is, quite clearly, nothing more than a WoW clone.

If this site had a like button, I'd have liked that, made me giggle.

 

[ZeZZZZevy]

I don't see any gameplay.

at all.

so yea, bad idea Fox, go back to creating sensationalist nonsense.
Or don't. That'd be good too

 

[GonzoGamer]

How will this even work? Is it going to cut to footage of a completely different game every ten seconds?

That's what I'm picturing: an MMO that is constantly interrupted by Warioware like minigames.
Well... maybe not Just like Warioware.

 

[The Hungry Samurai]

I'm so going to roll a giant chicken.

 

[GarouX]

Hmmm...my web server here blocks the site due to it being "suspicious". Whether or not that's due to the possibility of malicious software remains to be seen.

 

[Blind0bserver]

... a huh...

Some time ago, on these very forums, in reference to a discussion about whether or not to make a Half-Life MMO I said something to the effect of "I can't imagine an established IP that could be less suited for an MMO."

So thanks, Fox, for showing me that no matter how low your expectations someone, somehow, can always do worse .

i would be interested in hoe it plays and i want to be the first lvl 80 asian quagmire

That was exactly my first thought when i read this: Will Quagmire be a playable class?

Also: Giggity

 

[doomboy29]

Woudn't it be great if after a few months after launch FOX releases a story about how Family Guy Online corrupts kids?

 

[neonsword13-ops]

....(claps for complete world idiocracy)
Except for me fellow Escapists.

 

[Azaraxzealot]

Whoever came up with this seriously needs to fired.
Along with the person who gave it a green light.
I mean... this cannot end up in another way than disaster, it just can't.

if it's targeting the LCD then there will be no problem with it having success.

we're talking about the same people who make Transformers 2, Pirates movies, Cash-In of Duty, and Twilight successful.

 

[Ninonybox_v1legacy]

I...uh...uph....how!?.....WHY!?

Just......WHY!?

 

[DJ_DEnM]

I also hope this is a joke...

...but nonetheless I already registered for Beta.

 

[Amondren]

Does not want. The idea sounds horrible.

 

[kasperbbs]

Web based fighting game perhaps..? Other then that i have no idea what this might be.. Maybe a flash based game where you have to fart into peoples faces until time runs out..? Whatever it is i hope they didn't spend too much money on it.

 

[DanielBrown]

I'm having a vision!
Huuu... the gameplay will suck... the player base will be low and get lower every month... njuuuu... it'll fail horribly...

 

[Alpha Maeko]

Blizzard must be laughing their asses off with how many idiotic MMO projects keep getting tossed around. And phailing. Phailably.

 

[Kungfu_Teddybear]

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!!! ...Wait? They're serious?

Bad idea. Do not want.
