Futurama the Great Unlicensed Adventure Awaits

Carl Williams writes, "Futurama is one of those cartoons for adults that was not quite as offensive as Family Guy but was not as family entertaining as The Simpsons. It is also one of the least ported to gaming cartoons that we have seen (it did get a PS2 or Xbox 3D action adventure but that is it). For some reason the rich world of Futurama has not been ripe with videogame adaptations/interpretations. Developers could, almost, literally write whatever wild loosely science fiction related story they wanted and it would probably work in the world of Futurama. Now, a couple of new, unlicensed, adventure titles are in the works- both of which look rather interesting."

Reminds me of Day to the Tentacle.

I was soo excited when i saw the title, then i saw the video

[MASTER_RAIDEN]

This.

[Thefreeman012]

Yep

[KryptoniteTail]

I can see an RPG working like South Park SoT.

[KeplerNoMore]

Doubt that the original cast would come back to voice it, South Park had the original voices and setting, while still being developed, Futurama was terminated because of low ratings.

Most of the Futurama cast works in games, anyway. I'm sure Matt could get them all together on a game.

We need a Futurama game like The Simpsons: Tapped Out

[Nate-Dog]

The PS2 game was pretty poor, only Leela's gameplay felt fun to me and even then all of the sections were quite drab and annoying. Futurama has gone the way of The Simpsons unfortunately, but at least we can pretend the new episodes after the Devil's Hands' episode never existed and that that was the real ending.

I agree they should have stopped milking the cow back when it died/a natural death at the end of season 4. The milk it produces now leaves a decidedly sour taste in one's mouth.

Though the quality wasn't as consistent in the relaunched movies and series, it wasn't without any highlights and therefore am very glad that it kept going. The final episode, the mortal defect episode, the one where they keep traveling further into the future, and a few others were definitely up there as some of the best the show ever produced.

What are you talking about? It was great until the end. If anything it was better then it started. Especially the first movie.

[robtion]

Futurama back on ps2 was a great game for fans of the series. B-grade but lots of fun and plenty of jokes. Pew pew pew.

[Knightofelemia]

Wish the cartoon had new episodes and was never cancelled. I always thought it was way better then Simpsons.

[Retroman]

Better than "Family guy" as well.

[MasterCornholio]

Well then we will just use the What If machine to figure out what would happen if Futurama was never canceled.

But my finger longer though......

LOL

I agree. I love that show a ton as well.

[FlyingFoxy]

Simpsons hit and run style game would work for this, in fact it would work for many games.. Even regular show, ok i admit i'd like to see both done in that way.

10+ missions per character, 5-6 of the main characters playable = winning forumula.. possibly. Would need a lot of variety though.

[mkis007]

I miss futurama.. I keep watching the whole series over and over again :(

[zidane1341]

That's what I've been doing on netflix

[Yui_Suzumiya]

Technically Futurama was cancelled twice

[mkis007]

They did end it though this last time...it is a great ending and a new beginning.
