has a second game been announced yet? - Page 2

Basically the only reason that the game was 2-player, was because of the PS2. Most games that are going to made for all consoles are made for the PS2, then ported to the other consoles. Konami was just too lazy to fix the multi player mode to make it 4 player, so blame the PS2's lack of a multi tap.

TMB no need to bash on the PS2. I seriously doubt that was the reason. They were just too lazy overall. Ever notice the slow down with only 2 players? It would have taken more time (and especially money) to optimize the engine for 4 player support. Why take time and money to create a quality title when you can release utter crap and still make truck loads of cash? And is there anyone else who thinks the games are going to keep sucking? Cause I sure as hell do.

I too doubt that they'll improve the gameplay much. As you said, why bother to spend money making it better when it will sell anyways just because it's Turtles?

Don't bad-mouth developers unless you have tried your hand at it. Programmers and artists take a great deal of pride in their work and strive to make it the best they can. Particularly at quality gigs like Konami (Capcom, Sega, Nintendo, etc). Despite whatever corporate politics may govern a game's direction, the actual developers who work on the titles should not be so easily dismissed.

(And the TMNT game wasn't half bad either)

Game developers do take pride in what they do, but they're also in the buisness to make money.
The new TMNT game was rushed in my opinion, the last level is crap and so lazily put together, I was really disapointed when I reached it.
Oh look it's the Foot Mystic's AGAIN?! Giant Mouser AGAIN, bloody two of them this time, this= lazy, lazy, lazy.
Plus you don't get to fight Shredder until you finish the game with all four Turtles, jeesh Konami what makes you think I want to do that, the game gets so tedious after Stage three.
The best stages are the first three, I don't like the museum level that much, the background graphics are shoddy and bland, then there's the eye in the sky camera, too far away from the main character.
Konami can do way better than this, I know a lot of you like it but they're not doing the TMNT justice.

Hey Michaelangelo my fellow BDD, I re-read what I typed and it sounded kind of patronizing, wasn't meant to sound that way at all. Just voicing my opinion of game dev since it's close to my heart.

Long levels ever play Ninja Turtles Turtles in Time Arcade Game Krang's Star Base was pretty long.

The best news is that the game will be 4 player this time! Konami took your feedback to heart and will be implementing all four Turtles into the action! The tentative release date at this time is October 22, 2004 - approximately one year after the release of the first game.

We'll send out more details as we get 'em.

On the rumor front - there is no new film in production at this time. Apparently there are some sites reporting that we've got something under way, but nothing is in development right now. Our agents are always working on the Hollywood execs, trying to get them to see the light - but for now there's still no reel news.

Cheers!
