No new TMNT Video Game this year?

*myconius* · 11-05-2015, 11:41 AM

For the last few years, we've had a new video game based on the Nickelodeon Ninja Turtles come out except this year.

While part of me is relieved not to be tempted to buy another cheaply made holiday cash grab, i have to admit i'm a little bit disappointed.
i was really hoping to finally hear the entire TV cast voice a game, and i just can't count 'fill-in' Leo as an actual cast member.
plus i was hoping for a much better game than the last two!

I'm still hoping that they are in the process of developing a quality TMNT game!
and IF and when, i hope it does reach new levels of greatness for the Turtles game franchise like what Arkham Asylum (and City) did for Batman.

but not having heard any news about it has me a bit concerned.

Has anyone heard anything, or have any thoughts?

OotS 2 would have been nice.

*myconius* · 11-05-2015, 03:22 PM

very true! that's one recent game i actually did enjoy!
i just wish they would have released it on a disc.

No, OoTS is digital only.

*myconius* · 11-05-2015, 08:56 PM

it's a very good point that there'll be a new game to coincide with the new movie.

i don't know about what other people like? but i really hope we get another 4 player arcade brawler.
something similar to Turtles in Time re-shelled, but with deeper fighting mechanics.

this is just a pipe dream but fighting gameplay somewhere between Arkham City and Soul Caliber would be pretty awesome!!

I was hoping for a game taking place during Season 3 where you could play as both the Turtles and Mutanimals. Maybe a sequel to Danger of the Ooze where each of them has their own special skill. Would've been cool.

*TigerClaw* · 11-05-2015, 06:51 PM

We can expect a new TMNT game or two in 2016 with the new movie coming out, Whether on console, handheld or mobile.

PangolinFeets · 11-05-2015, 06:53 PM

I wish they'd take another crack at Smash-up and make it an expanded-universe game. It could have the same premise as Turtles Forever, but include the rest of the iterations.

That being said, AT LEAST WE HAVE THE SICK IDW BOARD GAME ON THE WAY!

Probably another mobile game at best. I'd be very surprised to see something come to consoles with the hard time they've had with those in the past few years. It's disappointing too. I'd really love a oots 2 or something similar with a bigger budget.

*chrisdude* · 11-10-2015, 07:01 PM

Movie-promotional console games are pretty much a dead thing, aren't they? They pretty much all moved to mobile. I figure we were lucky the last movie got a 3DS game. Prolly just because the cartoon is so hot.

the 3DS game was decent, I never played the mobile game based on it, It used the movie models, but you get to fight characters like Bebop and Rocksteady, and had the original voice of Leo.

Aggh Thps5 is so garbage that it makes the recent TMNT games look like blockbusters. Y u do dis

*Sabacooza* · 11-27-2015, 05:32 PM

This is disappointing. They'll use these IDW Santolouco inspired models which look pretty cool for this game as skins but won't bother to use them for a full game? I don't get it. It's like they're dangling the carrot in front of us then just whip it away as we try to grab it. Not that I'd be so excited about nabbing a carrot but you get the gist of it.

Yeah, All the most recent TMNT games were based on the Nick series, I would love for a new TMNT game based on the Fred Wolf or IDW series.

*Zulithe* · 11-27-2015, 06:03 PM

Can we have a THPS 5 thread in this forum now that it has a TMNT stage (there is a sewer skating stage) plus skins for all four turtles?

While THPS5 has not been well received, let's be honest neither has a huge chunk of recent TMNT games... I think a lot of people would appreciate a TMNT skating game even if it's not a full TMNT skating game.

They have released some pretty massive patches for THPS and I wonder if it's improved enough to actually be worth recommending to TMNT fans? You can get this game for only $20 shipped for PS4 on bestbuy.com (if you have Gamer's Club Unlocked)

Here is more gameplay

Considering that TMNT and skating goes hand in hand, since Mikey is the skater type.

The only thing that would've made this better, If they were on rocket powered skateboards

ray305comics · 11-28-2015, 03:42 AM

same here I wish they would change it up and not always base it of the nick cartoons.

*Sabacooza* · 11-28-2015, 08:25 AM

It's irritating because here we have a glimpse of what an IDW inspired game could look like and yet they're like, nope, you can't have it. Like myconius said it's like salt on a wound. Also add to that that the models look pretty decent. They're all shaped different, resemble Santolouco's style. Their facial features are even different not to mention they even have that comic book outline look. Someone obviously did the research and went through a lot of trouble to make these models look good and for what? This?!

I wish Activision would stop screwing around and put these models to real use. Give us a real IDW inspired videogame already. One that's actually good.

*Powder* · 11-28-2015, 08:41 AM

I feel like that outline is telling. If they wanted the TMNT in there, they could've simply used the OOTS models. Not only would they save time, but they'd have turtles that fit in more stylistically. These guys, with that straight out of a comic look, they've gotta have some other purpose... Why go out of your way to give them a different visual style than your other unlockables? Fingers crossed they're from an upcoming IDW game.

*myconius* · 11-28-2015, 11:51 PM

i'm still hoping they surprise us finally with an awesome TMNT console game.

but as awesome as the models in this THPS look i just can't see getting it.
it'd be too frustrating!!!

Plus i'd hate to see my favorite Ninja Turtle hit the crotch end of a failed rail grind!!!
