EA Working with Simpsons Creators on New Game
Wait till you see nextgeneration celshading.
 
Game maker Electronic Arts has revealed details on its upcoming game based on the long-running animated TV series "The Simpsons." Over 20 Simpsons-themed games have come and gone over the years, and most have been flops. With release delays ahead and a bad quarter behind, EA needs a hit -- and this time, the game maker has the series' own writers in its corner.

Game maker Electronic Arts (Nasdaq: ERTS)  (EA) revealed details on its forthcoming title, "The Simpsons Game," Wednesday during an event announcing the new video game as well as 12 other new titles. Set for release this fall, the game turns the tables on the characters of the well-known TV family: The whole Simpsons clan is perfectly aware that they inhabit a video game.

 

"Our goal in developing 'The Simpsons Game' is to create the most original game ever, which is a lofty goal and only possible given the close collaboration with 'The Simpsons' creative team," said Scot Amos, executive producer of the project. "We're also especially proud of the game's warm visual feel, which captures -- for the first time ever in a game -- the look of the TV show. As Comic Book Guy says, 'Best. Simpsons. Game. Ever!'"

 

Scheduled for release in Fall 2007, the game will be available for the PlayStation 3 , PlayStation 2 , PlayStation Portable, Xbox 360 , Nintendo  Wii and Nintendo DS.

"The Simpsons Game," a working title, features beloved characters from the long-running animated TV sitcom as the heroes and heroines of their own video game, which unfolds over four chapters broken down into 16 episodes. During the game, Homer, Marge, Bart and Lisa will try to save the world from a rising tide of chaos, according to EA.

 

To do so, each family member has been given their own special powers. Bart, for instance, reportedly takes on the guise of "Bartman" to fight villains while maneuvering and gliding using his cape. He can also target the bad guys using his trusty slingshot. Homer's legendary gluttony serves him in good stead, turning him into an enormous ball of fat, the "Homerball," which demolishes his enemies.

 

Marge can control people by nagging them into doing what she wants. Lisa, after meditating at a Buddha statue, morphs into the deity's hand and can squash her foes.

 

Though the Simpsons will hit movie theaters this summer with their first full-length motion picture, "The Simpsons Movie" and EA's new "The Simpsons Game" are not connected.
