Activision's third TMNT game: A thread of anticipated disappointment - Page 2

As a person who's actually tried it...not easy. (At least not in Game Maker, which I was using, but it can hardly be any easier with actual programming.) The classic beat-em-up is something that feels simple for the player (though hopefully not too much), but development requires all sorts of coding gymnastics. I still have no idea how to make jumping work in such a game.

Game development is mad hard, yo. I still haven't finished the TMNT fan game I started in 2008.

Ubisoft did that and it pissed off a loooooot of people.

Prince of Persia has a movie because of the games. So there's that.

Sometimes, I wonder why publishers even bother making licensed games on consoles since:

1. Gamers are wise to licensed games and avoid it.

2. The Arkham games raised the bar highly on licensed games when polish is put into it.

3. The true audience for these types of games have moved to mobile (the Marvel movie games are all on mobile, none since The Avengers have been released on consoles).

2012 is gonna do whatever it does. But we need more classics

Pretty much. I mean, that game is busted before you even get to play. As soon as Raph speaks in the opening cinematic, it sounds like Sean Astin's mic was up so high that Raph sounds like he's taking orders at a drive-thru.
