Next TMNT Game

[GreasyBoi]

I noticed in the 2007 liscening show that the next Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game would not be for all systems. Does anyone know which systems they will be on?



P.S. I'm still looking for TMNT Mutant Melee for Game Cube. I tried eBay but all they have is the Xbox version. Does anyone know a cheap way to get TMNT Mutant Melee for Game Cube?

[Kendamu]

What info did it give about consoles?

I remember reading somewhere on the internet. I'm not sure if it was an interview with Ubisoft or what but I remember them saying that the next game would be released on a gaming system that it was not previously released on before. That would lead me to believe that it would be for the
PS3 since it missed out the first time around.

[Ninjinister]

There was a PlayStation 3 version in the works sometime after the other versions were released... did it get canned?

[Sabacooza]

I guess at some point they were planning on it though I haven't heard any official word. The thing that puzzles me is that the interview with creative director Nick Harper of Ubisoft shows clips of the game that looks much different than what we ended up with. The whole color tone was more washed out and realistic and Leo was fighting footsoldiers in the rain. There were also rumors that they would use the actual models from the movie for the game. As for what system this game will be out for, I can't really say. I'm still guessing it'll be for PS3.

According to Gamespot, it appears as if it has indeed been canceled:

Kind of disappointing, since I think the entire reason it was being ported to PS3 was because it had sold 1.1 million copies in about a month - which isn't exactly wildfire, especially taking into consideration big sellers like Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Grand Theft Auto 4 - and the fact that this was across eight platforms - but it's still nothing to sneeze at.

[Sabacooza]

Just checked out the link and yeah, that does seem disappointing...on the surface. That could just mean that they're not making the same movie version for the PS3 which in my opinion would be redundant anyway. It was said that the next one would be based on the movie but with a completely different story. So in a sense, it would be a completely new game hence the reason why that version was canceled on Gamespot. It was also on the 5th turtle blog that Laird was meeting with Ubisoft about the new game so one could be on the way. Either way, I hope we get something but I hope it's not a Wii exclusive. As much as I love the TMNT, there's no way I'm buying a new system with horrid graphics just to play a new TMNT game.

[Ninjinister]

I'm pretty sure that it won't be an exclusive for any single console...

Although I'm wondering what crappy games you've played on Wii to find the graphics horrid. They're not uber-pretty HD like PS3 and 360, but they're far from being bad in any way, shape, or form.

[Kendamu]

...there's no way I'm buying a new system with horrid graphics just to play a new TMNT game.

Yeah. Stupid graphics. You can't even tell the difference between Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Galaxy. That's how you know that the Wii sucks. Nevermind gameplay, either. Who the Hell wants to have fun when we can just play WWII over and over again in HD? Y'know what's even better? WWII in space!! Oh, yeah... let's not forget the awesome Browntown realistic racing game that's all brown. Brown is where it's at. Hooray for realism! Everyone knows that primary colors are a myth :sweatdro:

[Ninjinister]

Yeah, I hate to get into any sort of console debate (seeing as how I have more than 15 of them - including a Wii and perhaps soon, a PS3), but jeez... the graphics argument holds up about as well as soggy bread to a katana.

[Extreme_Enigma]

I sent a message to Dan Berger and he said the next TMNT game will not only be available for Wii, but for PS2 and DS. That's the last time he heard from Ubisoft so there is still hope for a TMNT game on 360 and PS3.

I've played Crash of the Titans, Tomb Raider Anniversary, Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess, No More Heroes, TMNT. The gameplay for the Wii is revolutionary I'll give them that but like I said, I'm not big on the graphics. I've always been a very visual person and when it comes to great graphics, I'm spoiled. Of course the game has to play well to. The simple looking games that would've pleased me when I was younger just don't do it for me today and I wouldn't expect it to because my taste has evolved.

Anyway, as for the new TMNT game, I would think it would be out for all platforms seeing as how it's supposed to be released for the 25th anniversary. That would make more sense to me that everyone be able to celebrate the anniversary by popping in their version of the game. Only time will tell if it really is the anniversary surprise.

Egads, spoiled you are then, because you know what I still play at least once a month?

Anyway, I'm more than willing to bet money on more than just what Dan heard last - not only would not having a 360 version be counterproductive since there was one with the last release, I'm pretty sure there will be a PS3 version as well. In fact, there will probably be a release for every system the last one made it to except for Gamecube and maybe Game Boy Advance (a shame, because the last GBA TMNT game ROCKED!

Yeah, any game coming out now is almost guaranteed to come out on major consoles like 360 and ps3. Yeah the gba one was pretty cool, but I thought the psp was equal as well.

The S: Hey I like your signature! You think you could post more pics and info about your upcoming tmnt game? I'd love to see more! :P

PM me, I bet I can track one down using my special GameStop powers.

I'm glad to hear that the new TMNT game will be on the wii.

If Ubisoft isn't planning on bringing out the game on all platforms, it seems likely they'll leave the PC version out (they did that for mutant nightmare). I hate it when they do that. :(

[Lil G]

i cant wait till the next game!

[Raphael_]

An RPG would be nice :(

[Lil G]

any else but me up for a gta styled tmnt game? thatd be hot.

[Ninjinister]

I actually asked both Dan Berger and Konami about a sandbox-styled TMNT game right after the first PS2/GC/Xbox/PC game was released.

[turkishproverb]

I'd like that. roaming, but with a plot if you REALLY want it (mostly anti foot i imagine.


And skin switching would be a fun feature:

Turtles 1: Whatever's popular
Turles alternate 1: Mirage
Alternate 2: 2K3
Alternate 3: Coming out of their shells :P.

[thebrownranger]

Turles alternate 1: Mirage

Nope. This is just fine. We don't want another bummer like the 4th movie.

[Leogeddon]

Alternate 3: Coming out of their shells :P.

LOL, It'd be like guitar hero or Rock Band turtle version. :nod:

[Kendamu]

A sandbox TMNT game would be cool, but that's just me thinking that Suda 51 needs to do a TMNT game that resembles "No More Heroes" but, instead of poking fun at video games, it pokes fun at comics.

That would totally rock. That's one thing the TMNT need... a more high-profile development team.

Speaking of development teams and ninja, Ubisoft recently announced a sequel to their Xbox 360 Naruto game. Where's the love for the other, more awesome ninja?
