Conkers is the best example. I loved that game.

But yeah, parody movies usually suck anyway.

Getting a good parody storyline would involve a developer hiring actual writers and not monkeys with typewriters.

Put out enough games with enough monkeys and sooner or later, one of them will turn out Hamlet.

So that's what EA's real strategy is...

The Simpsons Game.

There you go, folks!

A lot of games won't do a direct parody because they don't have a devoted fanbase of idiots willing to buy every game (but every "______ Movie" rakes in at least 50 million dollars!).

EA is too cheap to hire monkeys.

Conker is about as good as it gets for parodys, really was a great game. The new Timesplitters is supposed to have elements in it that poke fun at other games but theres no telling when that will be out.

Who said anything paying them?  This is EA after all.

When you go and see a parody movie, the point is to watch and laugh, or most people would go in with that intention.. when you play a parody game (much like any game) you would expect to be playing a good game first and foremost, comedy is a far far second to anything related to the interaction with the game

Why don't we have parody games like the movies(Scary Movie,Epic Movie...)? Wouldn't it be great to have that, we have the formula of every year best hits then make it as a game, you know like COD 4, Halo 3, SMG, GTA 4 and etc....instead of stupid shovelware, at least we can have some cheesy fun!

I believe it will be mostly Nintendo games like Brain Age series and Wii XXX series, and mostly done on PC or XBLA!!!

 

p/s:Anyone want I blame Wii Fit Style?


 No More Heroes in a lot of ways was a parody game.
