Serious Parody PSN Game

[Colly]

Surely there's a legal issue with this? I can understand the card game going under the radar, but a PSN game clearly using Orton, Lesnar and Rock?

[Walker]

Nah, it is a Serious Parody so they are fine.

[TCO]

I can't decide if Uncle Slam is stupid, genius or both!

[ThrillhouseMAX]

Heh, I didn't even realize there was a thread for this before I posted about it in the General Gaming Thread. This game was easily the worst indie game at PAX East, by far. Just really bad. There were a few games at PAX that were bad, but damn. 5 Star Wrestling is like a new kind of bad.

Christ, the Facebook comments.

Is this PS4?

PS3 only I'm afraid.

What about PS4?

POSITIVITY: I do think that the idea of basically giving heels a certain measure of being able to take shortcuts in the match, at a conditional risk of being disqualified, is a decent idea. Maybe someone better had it before he did, though? I don't know, I barely play wrestling games.

[Gazz]

NEGATIVITY: You have a game that has eight characters and you still somehow manage to base one on Chris Benoit.

[Sousa]

"We need to pick eight and only eight wrestlers for a game. Who ya got?"

"CHRIS BENOIT."

"Damn it no that's a bad idea we can't do that."

"The Rock?"

"Okay good! Next?"

"Benoit?"

"DAMN IT NO NEXT IS RVD WHO ELSE?"

"What about the Canadian Crippler?"

"Again, a poor idea."

"Goldberg maybe--ooh, or Jeff Hardy!"

"Good! Good! We can do both of those. Who else?"

"THE RABID WOLVERINE."

"Gary, I'm going to take you off the team if you don't--"

"All right, fine, Randy Orton."

"We can do Randy Orton, great! We'll throw in Kurt Angle, too."

"And Wild Pegasus!"

"No, we can't do that. Who's the current champion?"

"Brock Lesnar?"

"Great, we'll do that. Okay, do you know of any other wrestlers?"

"I only know one."

"Yeah, me too."

So it's $25 for a game with 8 wrestlers that's probably worse than a MDickie game and limited to one platform that last had a major game in November 2013?

What sort of audience is he expecting here? Because people who are too cheap to buy a current gen console are highly unlikely to buy a $25 game on a whim, especially with a specialty game like wrestling.

...PROBABLY worse than an MDickie game?

[apsham]

MDickie games are at least fun and easy to fuck around with.

[Avenged Probably]

I genuinely thought MDickie was the same guy as this.

[apsham]

If it were MDickie, Jesus would be an unlockable character.

[Schlitzbrille]

I genuinely thought MDickie was the same guy as this.

Nope. At least Dickie has the sense to give most of his wrestlers not-blatant ripoff names.

[apsham]

[SeanDMan]

They all look like they're malnourished. Those poor video game wrestlers.

obviously his previous serious parody games didn't sell well enough.

Only we have the power to fix this guys

[Schlitzbrille]

MDickie games are at least fun and easy to fuck around with.

30 man Hardcore Barbed Wire Shoot Fight?

[Plubby]

I actually really like Uncle Slam

[Sousa]

If it were MDickie, Jesus would be an unlockable character.

But for legal purposes his name would be Jesse Christie.

[Skummy]

Stealing that line for a promo.

Also, wasn't the Uncle Slam the Patriot's finisher?
