Ice T Wants a Def Jam Reboot

Legendary Rapper, Actor, and Gamer Ice T makes a new appeal on social media to put in a word for a Def Jam reboot.

gamerant.com

Ice-T featured as a playable character twice in the franchise in Def Jam: Fight for New York and Def Jam Fight for New York: The Takeover back in 2003 and 2004 respectively. The rapper and actor is also heavily into the gaming scene and uses his Twitter to sporadically weigh in on gaming topics or to reply to fans and diss some repliers that are a bit out of pocket. His recent tweet calls for a reboot to the hip-hop infused wrestling franchise that hasn't had a new entry since 2007 with Def Jam Icon. This is also just the lasted call to action from Ice T looking for a new Def Jam title as he made a similar request in 2020.

 

[ReBurn]

We have this in common

 

[chixdiggit]

A fighting game where 90% of the roster wouldn't be able to fight their way out of a wet paper bag in real life.

 

[Portugeezer]

The uncanny valley aspect would make it hilarious.

But I'd rather they remade Blood on the Sand 50 Cent game.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

Just make icon BC

 

[Xaero Gravity]

Just make icon BC

How about no. The sooner we forget about Icon, the better.

 

[saintjules]

How about NBA Jam instead?

 

[TGO]

They couldn't make today!
could you imagine the roster

 

[NickFire]

Tell him to pray hard to gaming Jesus!

 

[Roni]

I actually really liked this game as a kid, would definitely play a remake...

 

[Represent.]

fuck yeah. game was amazing

 

[BennyBlanco]

this game is still fire on PCSX2

 

[A.Romero]

I'm a fighter game fan and couldn't get into this series. What was so cool about them?

Did they sell a lot of copies?

They have more in common with wrestling games than traditional fighting games, so that may be why. Especially Vendetta.

 

[eastcoastkody]

if it was new rappers. I wouldn't be able to pick them out of a line up. There hasn't been a good rap song since like 2009

Took the tried and true THQ wrestling engine and applied it to rappers

 

[ThatGamingDude]

Hell yeah, I am 100% for this
As a child, I hated the Def Jam games
And as a child I was fucking >>Wrong<<
These games are fucking awesome

How about NBA Jam instead?

Booooo
Nooooo
DEF JAM
Go make a sports thread

 

[zeorhymer]

Ice T out of money?

 

[ThatGamingDude]

Ice T out of money?

Ha
Very much no; gotta remember he did a long stint on Law and Order

[TLZ]

Ice T looking like Busta there.

 

[clintar]

No public appeal. Better to make a game about popular YouTubers doing pranks on each other or sneaking into some amusement park after hours and holding stupid competitions. I know call it, "Tuber Bout" or "LIke Smashers".

 

[SpongebobSquaredance]

if it was new rappers. I wouldn't be able to pick them out of a line up. There hasn't been a good rap song since like 2009

 

[Soulja]

if it was new rappers. I wouldn't be able to pick them out of a line up. There hasn't been a good rap song since like 2009

And it wouldn't be believable that any of them could fight.

 

[MasterDerico]

Good casual fighter! I liked to create my char and add different styles and supers. I had lots of fun with this game. I they do, good, i would buy!

 

[MudoSkills]

These first two games were great - the special moves were ridiculous. I remember one where you flip your opponent upside down and bounced on his head like a pogo stick.

[Kuranghi]

Only if Nicky Minaj's special has her dragging her fanny around the arena floor (imagine like how a dog drags it's bum on the carpet) and then all the opponents fall over because it's so slippy.

Yeah I did have a few hours fun with Thrill Kill and then more later with Def Jam so I support it. I think remake is better than reboot though, I don't know 80% of the modern rappers so I wouldn't be interested unless it's the classic characters.

Suge Knight

An actual person somewhere whom the education system/their parents failed:
