Erm....yeah. Dunno if Fox is just taking the piss or what with this but figured it would make a memorable first post if nothing else.

/relurks

I give your first post an A.

You managed to correctly use the linking function, and you worked in the swamp poop face.

Mole!   :drill: :grin:

I don't know how memorable this will be after it never gets off the ground and disappears to the 10th page of the forum, but a passable first post none the less!

That game, the fuck...  :uhrr:

10/10 lurk quality, would read again.

Wow killer.

flashbacks/cutaways will be instanced

profit!

Hopefully they'll make either the dog or the mom a playable class, but not both.

Wait a sec.. releasing this fall?

Flash Facebook game where you spend energy to be Peter and beat up the Chicken/ Drink Beer/ Tell Flashbacks.

No, don't re-lurk. You have so much potential.

He correctly linked an article and gave us a brief idea of why we might click on the link.

We've set the bar just high enough it seems.

Are we calling flash/facebook games MMO's now or something?  Seems Fox successfully trolled Massively into giving some free advertising.

I believe "massive" in MMO these days refers to the size of balls devs et all have for foisting their unfinished, unfun, poorly implemented fuckpiles of shit upon their customers.

Yes I may have oversold it just a smidge. I blame Fox. My brain was so busy trying to put Family Guy and MMO together and screaming WTF at me that I appear to have briefly lost all sense of perspective.

Where did it say it was a flash game? Also, What does it matter if its a flash game? (http://www.dofus.com/en)

You have illustrated my point perfectly.

Staying out of the Politics sections then? Good man.

Um, what?


This one? If so, No I did not.

I suppose saying a crappy french game named Dofus illustrates how all flash games are bad is a tad bit unfair to flash games.

Its one of the best MMO's on the flash platform. Fits every definition, and is a far cry from "Flash Facebook game".

I suppose having 3 incarnations is a sign of its "Crappyness".  :oh_i_see:  My point being, Using flash as a platform does not mean Facebook game. As for the title in question, Family guy, We have ZERO idea what platform its on, or what it will be like.

That is why I asked where all this info is coming from, none of it has even been said. Seems to be some assumptions being made with nothing to go with. Not saying that I can wrap my head around how they may pull this off, but still.

Here is what is known:

• Family guy.
• Has website.
• Browser based.

You misunderstand. It's French.

I retract my previous statements.











 :grin:

If many people play it, it's an MMO.  :awesome_for_real:

What you missed was the important part that said "flash game" to me.

• Launches this fall.

Or do we honestly believe a full-fleged MMO can be hacked-out in complete secrecy or within a few months if it's not flash-based?

Flash Family Guy game like Mafia Wars/ Famville/ Dragon Age:Legends? Sure. EA or Zynga can toss those things out in a few months, why couldn't anyone else.

giggity giggity

Sure, if it sucks.

But yeah, it'll be another social gaming piece of shit, obviously.

We have no idea how long its been worked on, or who is even making it.

Not that I don't have my own assumptions.

Cartoon Network and something else I'm forgetting managed to do it.  I don't see why they couldn't.

There are a number of others. The root here, is "LOL flash is easy", when its not any more challenging than any other platform. The reason its used in Facebook games, is becomes of the prevalence of the plugin, as opposed to some third party one grandma needs to download.

No, Cartoon Network began development in 2007 after ComicCon and the game released early (Jan) 2009.  There was at least a year in development prior to the official announcement in 2008.

It's not LOL Flash is EZ it's "how on earth would they do anything else?" AND "it's easy to translate this game model to the IP vs the traditional MMO model" AND "game changes in MafiaVille Legends are easier to crank out than quest chains and mob pathing."

Or is Peter having to grind 100k chickens before he can fight the big Yellow one the baisis for a sensible and fun game?

So, when did they start development on this?

FTFY

 :awesome_for_real:

I want to see Quagmire's achievements.

Quagmire is OP.  Buff Cleveland and Meg pls

Shut up, Meg.

What's a fuckpile of shit?

 :rimshot:

I didn't care for Dofus, partly due to the spam emails.

Spam E-mails?

A short-term consequence of allowing gravity free rein to act on a fuckton of inadequately contained shit?

Want a cracker?

I mean, who does not want a cracker. But I'm not sure what you mean spam e-mails. In game or out, or did they never stop hounding you after you signed up or something?

Yes, I kept getting emails from them after unsubscribing.

Kept?  My junk mail accts STILL gets mails from them and every other game the company has released since. The unsucbscribe button.. it does nothing.

Nah, it tells them there's active person associated with that email, which means it's totally worthwile to spam it even more.

Resurrecting threads is fun...

So I received an email/newsletter about this game (and didn't have the junk emails everyone else was complaining about) which introduces a new "Family Guyzer" (http://"Family Guyzer") where you can create a Family Guy character based on a RL picture.
