With the new TMNT show out and doing quite well- why hasn't this show been put into works for a video game? Make it a 3rd person action beat-em-up. The levels could be open world- free to go where ever you pleased. Also- 4 player online multiplayer potential would be a given.
In addition, make more than the 4 usual selectable Turtles as playable characters. Maybe I want to play as Casey Jones, April O'Neil, or Master Splinter. Heck, make some oddball characters available, maybe exclusives for future DLC? Fugitoid, Ray Fillet or Mutagen Man? I want to see these old action figures come to life in the new style. That added to a massive, open world video game and this has HUGE potential. Think of the Lego Lord of the Rings game- a very large map world with replayable story levels embedded in it. Something like that could do well using the vast TMNT universe.
Well, I should've seen this coming. The trailer was released for Activision and Nickelodeon's team up with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise. True to form, it is a 3rd person brawler/beat-em-up. And there is going to be 4 player online multiplayer(presumably as co-op).
This would be the first of 3 rumored games in the works, and is set to be released this summer on XBOX live, PSN, and PC.
My only real critique is- why are the Ninja Turtles so creepy looking instead of being ACTUALLY based on the new Nickelodeon show??? I swear I read a couple weeks ago that Activision was going to make games BASED on the new show. While this doesn't appear to be connected to the show- I wonder why they are going this particular route. What happened here? The show is extremely popular and would draw in buyers solely because of that fact. I know it's still pretty early, there isn't much in the way of screen shots and video, and there supposedly are 2 more games in the works- so, you know, things may change. Is this a small hint at what Michael Bay is having in store for the TMNT? I hope not, keep him away.
I can only imagine that Michael Bay will be to the Ninja Turtles what Joel Schumacher was to Batman.
Regardless, I grew up with these 4 in the 80's and am pretty excited to see them making a wonderful comeback.
