Obsidian Adapting Big Name Cartoon Franchise to Video Games
Developer Obsidian Entertainment of Fallout: New Vegas and Knights of the Old Republic II fame is working on a new game. But rather than it being a side story to well established franchise like New Vegas, or them taking over a franchise like with KOTOR II, they’re working on bringing a “leading animation franchise” to the gaming environment.
Game-centric talent agency Digital Development Management listed Obsidian as “working on an unannounced project for a leading animation franchise. Video games and licensed products, with the obvious exception of Batman, go about as well together as fireworks and a clown with poor juggling skills. It starts off as a good idea, but the end product is something more often than not pretty horrible. Usually, it’s because of the property. Let’s face it, Family Guy doesn’t exactly scream video game material, or MMO for that matter.
If I had to make a guess, part of me wants to think it’ll be Cartoon Network’s Adventure Time. The show is quickly gaining some steam, has an Emmy under its belt, and the creator admitted that it’d be cool to have a video game in the land of Ooo. What animation franchise do you think it’ll be?
