New XB360/Wii/3DS TMNT game (not OotS?) - Page 19

*CyberCubed* · 10-27-2013, 11:25 PM

I have a hard time imagining this game on Xbox 360.

As a Wii and 3DS game the graphics look like some early 2001 era PS2 game...which is passable for those consoles.

But given the 360 can give us something like GTA V...I don't know how these graphics would look in comparison.

I was planning to order a copy but seeing these reviews I'll just watch gameplay videos on youtube instead!

Anyone can make a bad licensed game, Activision or not. Let's not be dumb.

Rocksteady would not make a Turtle game. Batman brings in big bucks, the TMNT brand will never have that kind of pull.

This is the first sane thing I've ever read from you. Kudos.

Activision is really not as bad as people say.

Hell, just give it to the same developers as the New Transformers Games (which kick ass btw) and we'll finally have a great TMNT Game!

High Moon Studios are very very hit and miss, they may have made the great Cybertron games but they also made the game for Dark of the Moon and the recent Deadpool game

True.
Also, If I'm not mistaken Rocksteady is owned by Warner. I guess they'll never be making games based on non-Warner franchises.

This feels like that game, but made from a company that has no idea what they are doing. Like a student trying to mimic a sculpture by their teacher.

This is pretty much how I feel. It's not a terrible game is just a very simple beat em up aimed at kids. That's about what I expected from it so I'm not disappointed. Funny thing is, despite all its flaws I've actually had less technical issues with this than Arkham Origins.

Call of Duty 4 was great. Blame the rehashes not the original.

How about Vigilante 8, Vigilante 8: Second Offense, and Vigilante 8 Arcade.

Tony Hawk and more recently X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Goodbye.

Oh f**k how did I forget X-Men Origins? I love that game.

Yeah man Activision has made lots of good games and lots of bad games. Like everyone else. I don't get this whole "demonize an entire company" thing.

This TMNT game (probably) sucks not because of who made it, but because it's a licensed game based on a franchise that is not and never was anywhere near as popular as the fans of it think it is. Like someone else said, Batman games tend to be better because the people making them take it seriously and know a really bad game would cause a huge negative reaction from the fans. Meanwhile, even the "good" TMNT games only do mediocre sales. Every dollar spent on getting the license is money not spent on the actual game itself, and the developers have absolutely no reason to make a TMNT game that's anything more than "functional". If it's bad, it won't sell big but at least they'll make their money back (and not be sued for breach of contract for not finishing and releasing the game as agreed), and if it's great, it still won't sell CoD numbers, so why not just rush it out and hope for the best? It's business.

I bought the Wii version of the game. Anyone here who knows how to change the contollers? Or do you always need the stupid nunchunk? And how do you play multiplayer?

*I Crave Pizza No More* · 10-29-2013, 07:11 AM

For the life of me I can't see why anyone thought this game would be good in the first place. Aside from the 2K7 movie game for GBA and the 2nd TMNT game on the DS, as far as I'm concerned all of the "new" TMNT games have been somewhere between mediocre and terrible. Given the speed with which this game was developed, announced, and released, is it any surprise that it's bad?
