Electronic Arts, Twentieth Century Fox Television and Gracie Films today announced a long-term deal that grants EA development rights to multiple videogame titles based on the FOX hit series THE SIMPSONS. Working closely with the television studio's Licensing and Merchandising division, Gracie Films and THE SIMPSONS writers, EA will create original 'Simpsons' game content for next generation videogame systems. This groundbreaking deal between Fox and EA is the first development deal between these two entities. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.The first game of the multi-game deal will be launched on next generation systems; no launch date has been announced. "This is a great opportunity for our talented development team to collaborate with the brilliant minds of THE SIMPSONS to bring original Simpsons material to videogame fans," said Nick Earl, Vice President and General Manager, EA Redwood Shores Studio. "This is something EA's been interested in for years and now game development and technology is at a place where THE SIMPSONS characters and world will really come alive in these games." "The Simpsons is our crown jewel and with every additional episode is creating a legacy of creativity and success unmatched in this industry," commented Twentieth Century Fox President Gary Newman. "Its huge appeal among teens and young adults coupled with its seemingly limitless universe of memorable characters makes it a natural fit for videogaming, and we believe Electronic Arts is exactly the right creative partner to bring Springfield to life in this medium." 'Simpsons' Executive Producer James L. Brooks, speaking on behalf of Gracie Films, stated, "I think this is a great opportunity for us, primarily because it brings with it the possibility of free EA games." Game development will be done at EA's Redwood Shores Studio, the studio currently responsible for From Russia With Love, Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 06, The Lord of The Rings: Tactics, The Godfather and The Sims Add Comment  1 -

Hey, Lookie!Unregistered - WooHoo 11.02.2005 08:23 Revolution’s graphical abilities to equal competition-- PS3Vault.com 4 -
oh ohold school with a new twist 11.02.2005 10:51 …..This is up on PS3focus.com….. A recent survey in Japanese magazine Famitsu indicates that the PS3 has a strong lead over rival consoles Xbox 360 and Nintendo Revolution in the Japanese market. Of the 1392 people surveyed, an overwhelming 63.2% indicated that they intend to buy the PlayStation 3 console when it is released. It appears that the PS3’s hardware specifications have impressed the Japanese, with 70.4% of potential buyers indicating that they would buy the console based on its improved graphical abilities and processing power. The PlayStation 3’s games lineup and backwards compatibility were also cited as reasons for buyers preferring Sony’s next-gen. console. Nintendo’s Revolution console came in a distant second, with 36% of survey participants signaling their interest in Nintendo’s next-gen offering. It appears that Nintendo’s decision to make retro games available for download was a smart move: a startling 80% of would-be Nintendo purchasers named this as the top reason for their interest in the console. The Revolution’s Wi-Fi connectivity was another draw card. Perhaps surprisingly, the Revolution’s controversial controller design placed only third on the list of the console’s most enticing features. ……This is the part that really gets the xbots blood boiling….. Bringing up the rear is Microsoft’s Xbox 360 console, with a lackluster 23.9% of respondents expressing interest in the console. Of this small proportion of Xbox 360 enthusiasts, 82.2% claimed that the controller design was the most significant factor in their decision. It’s possible that this is due to the fact that both Sony and Nintendo have exhibited somewhat bizarre controller designs, with Microsoft opting to stick with a more conventional design. 5 -

Big Sale..everything must GO, GO, GO!!Unregistered - 3604U not me 11.02.2005 16:36 I just want everyone to know that I sell fire extinguishers and I'm having a BIG sale. Buy one, get the other at half off. I'm also taking pre-orders on Face Plates (all of them). I really think I'm going to make a killing when this xbox 360 thing comes out…Next week I will be taking pre-orders on the game that is already getting perfect 10s on every review. Frame City Killers. The New York Times says “it’s a master piece!” IGN says “you won’t believe your eyes” and GameSpot says “We’re lost for words. Zelda, GTA, MGS4, and Metroid have nothing on this master piece”. Wow you xbox fans this is a must have! My # is 1-800-360-LIFE. I hope to hear from you soon fans. 14 -

Setting shiz straightNodieza 11.04.2005 06:51 Where the f did Ken say anything about Toystory? Your so f'ing dumb you realize it was xbox who said that about how they can produce toy story 2 graphics in game. Who's the bull shizzer now buddy? I'll even post the article. Now what dumb fu'k get stuff straight, god dang you even got the console wrong... oh and how did sony lie, I see xbox!!!!! Billy is such a liar... "http://news.com.com/2100-1040-250632.html?legacy=cnet" One of the basic premises of the Xbox is to put the power in the hands of the artist," Blackley said, which is why Xbox developers "are achieving a level of visual detail you really get in 'Toy Story.'" BS BS BS BS.... maybe that'll set some of you straight 18 -
Unregistered - Answer me please. 11.08.2005 20:16 Hey I need you to answer this for me, When sony said they'll be using blue ray. What exactly what will they use it for. Is it for movie playback, or will it be used for gaming. Will the ps3 games be on dvd's or will they be on blue ray discs? 19 -
Unregistered - does this answer your question? 11.09.2005 13:37 dude, blue ray is trash, it's overkill, no one will fill up a blue ray disc. MS is using compression that'll do the job and cost less, f*ck sony. 20 -
