are there any good simpsons game?

 

[01011001]

I never bought any Simpsons game to begin with... so I'm not starting now

 

[ArtemisClydeFrog]

are there any good simpsons game?

Yeah, one of the old arcade ones and Hit and Run and Road Rage. That's it that's the list

 

[Birdo]

Bart Vs The Space Mutants on NES was part of my childhood.

A re-imagining could be good if done right.

 

[CapnAmaricrunch]

Unpoppular opinion the konami beat em up is a snoozefest. Thats coming from someone who played through the entire game.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

are there any good simpsons game?

Konami arcade and hit run.

i like the crazy taxi one

 

[AlteredForms]

 

[Haggard]

The Simpsons have been crap since the seasons reached the 2 digits.

Hell no.

 

[kretos]

no

 

[SCB3]

I enjoyed the EA one on 360/PS3, still have it and thought it was really well done

Then again hit and Run is also really good, I would take another one of them or even a good remake/remaster of it

 

[Metnut]

Hire some of the people who did the South Park games to make this happen and I’ll even preorder it.

 

[Captain Toad]

If it was good, sure. There was a time I didn't think I'd ever buy a South Park game, but then Stick of Truth came out.

 

[Saber]

Err...I feel like the OP didn't explain much or give reasons for discussion.


Well, for me I did played little of Simpsons games. The only one that I played and really liked was the Arcade beat-up. If its a good and fun game, sure. Simpsons has a lot of characters people remembers, so it shouldn't be difficult to take advantage of this. Problem would the writers though.

Hire some of the people who did the South Park games to make this happen and I’ll even preorder it.

That would be an interesting idea. South Park did look excellent that way and made use of it's characters.

 

[Nok Su Kow]

Yes

 

[Spukc]

fuck no

 

[SegaShack]

OP doesnt even mention the arcade game...

 

[Blond]

Simpsons Arcade 2 with Streets of Rage 4 developer

 

[R6Rider]

A game similar to Hit and Run or a remake of that, then hell yeah.

 

[DeepEnigma]

The first decade, maybe, the jumped shark abomination it is today,

 

[bitbydeath]

Depends if it’s good or not.

 

[Monokrom]

 

[ManaByte]

I’d buy a remaster of The Simpsons Game.

 

[LordOfChaos]

The Simpsons have been dead for a long time, another show with the same characters and name has been running for almost as long though. What would there even be to buy, the good writers are gone.

I mean, I guess if Conan has some free time now...

 

[NahaNago]

probably not. I only ever really played the arcade game.

 

[abcdrstuv]

A good one.. it and Futurama have a ton of potential if done well.. a strong tone, a ton of characters, locations, whatever. The South Park games are a good model, although they’re very modest in size and depth but big in detail and polish.

 

[Marvel]

No sir.

 

[Astral Dog]

If its good sure

 

[kiphalfton]

As long as it's not based on amything past like the 10th season, sure.

 

[Knightime_X]

Simpson's arcade.
Nothing else

 

[carlosrox]

Definitely depends.

Simpsons Arcade, Hit and Run, and a couple others are cool.

I would like Bart and Homer in Smash Bros, not even kidding.

 

[Vagswarm]

I could see it working as an RPG -- there's a lot of familar characters. Of course it would have to be good. I imagine Bart would be the main character, since everyone hates him.

 

[ksdixon]

Yeah, one of the old arcade ones and Hit and Run. That's it that's the list

road rage was great

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

only if it's like the konami arcade game

 

[hybrid_birth]

only if it's like the konami arcade game

Complete with "insert coin to continue"

EA would include that microtransaction.

 

[TheInfamousKira]

No, but primarily because I've never had an interest in The Simpsons, even when it was "good,"

 

[Griffon]

The Simpsons never made good sense for game adaptations. If anything, it would be a detriment to whatever game you'd think off.

 

[sinnergy]

Haven’t bought one since the game boy versions in the 90s

 

[Robb]

Probably not.

 

[BaneIsPain]

Yes, make it bully ripoff.

 

[Companion Cube]

I actually really enjoyed The Simpsons Game somehow.

 

[Duchess]

What if they made it an RPG style thing, like the South Park games? I'd be interested, for sure.

 

[ahtlas7]

If it’s a solid game why wouldn’t people buy it?

 

[engstra]

The Simpsons is the greatest TV show ever made so I'll never give up on it. I'm still watching the show and while it has gotten really bad it's still the Simpsons. With that logic I don't see why they couldn't make a great game with the right people and writing.

 

[jigglet]

Yes without hesitation as long as the gameplay was good and based on Seasons 1-9.

I would like:

• Cel shading. I still can't believe Hit and Run wasn't cel shaded.
• Either open world like Hit and Run or a story driven RPG like the South Park games.

Not interested in a beat-em-up like the originals or a Telltale-style click and play game.

Also don't attempt to create new stories. Just retell the stories from Season 1-9 in interactive form. I'm not interested in the bad writing we know of today, and I'm also not interested in a Simpsons game based in a modern day 2021 context. Keep it 90's, keep it pure.

 

[squarealex]

Sorry, I hate zombie Simpsons.
I prefer Smith family

 

[Esppiral]

In a Heart beat.

 

[Gloomnivore]

It’s weird that I don’t even feel any nostalgia for The Simpson’s today. It was such a huge part of life but they carried on with it until it became something to resent the existence of.

Whenever I see Homer now I’m just reminded of being bored.

 

[PensivePangolin]

I would definitly buy a modernized "Hit and Run" sequel/remake. One of my first PC games, though I never beat it (I was really bad at games). A single big map of Springfield and more minigames spread around using all the kooky characters, sorta like GTA V, it could be a lot of fun.

Actually that reminds me, I think I saw where someone modded "Hit and Run" to connect all the maps. I wonder if I would need to go find the old CDs at folks house to play it, or if EA has let it be put on abandonware sites.
