[quote name=\'uncleplinko\' post=\'229780\' date=\'Nov 3 2009, 03:46 PM\']I may have a jump on you by one. Last year, I designed a "Grab 'N' Go" Price is Right that was never published. I say "may" because, even though it was not released, I still got paid for it.[/quote]
Wait a minute.....paid?

?

[quote name=\'uncleplinko\' post=\'229780\' date=\'Nov 3 2009, 03:46 PM\']Any help that you can give on my new one, Matt, would be greatly appreciated, and credited.[/quote]
Kind of you to offer, but this is your baby. Good luck and godspeed!

If you think that's good news, you didn't see the TWO attempts at Survivor we pumped out when I was at Atari.

And the other two...come from our friends at Ludia. I got a fin that says they botch up the "can't put an X there, you have to earn that yourself" rule.

I'm not into Survivor or The Amazing Race, but The Hollywood Squares? Only if they put that no win by default rule in there will I be really interested in that one. That's for next year. I might get PYL for this holiday season, however, reading some of the serious shortcommings is kind turnning me off on that. I'd probably have to settle for the tabletop versions of either WoF or DoND.

So, you say that John Davidson will host the game?

That's easy: all the celebrities have to be "Unnamed Celebrity #_", and the Secret Square and bonus prizes (if there's a bonus round) will be cash. Ain't no way I see Ludia paying for likenesses of anyone when they wouldn't even shell out for generic PYL prizes.

I think a game like The Amazing Race would work best as an RPG mixed with elements from the Carmen Sandiego game series. But seeing that this is on the Wii, it will ultimately be a set of minigames.

It'll be tough to botch Hollywood Squares, but let me not speak too soon. At the very least, it'll probably look real purty.

The no-brainer feature is to not bother with "celebrities", but populate the Squares with the other Mii's on your machine. "Oh, look, I'll take Nate for the block."

(This also allows them to get around those pesky celebrity likeness issues, since there are a billion people out there who have a great time (and in many cases, do a great job of) churning out celebrity-lookalike Miis and posting them up on the Check Mii Out Channel for other people to download. You want celebrities? You can have 'em. At the minimum I have Hulk Hogan (they even got the right shade of orange), Peter and Stewie Griffin, Bob Ross, and Bill Clinton on mine.)

But since Ludia's business model seems to revolve around porting to as many platforms as they possibly can (they'd put out an Atari 2600 cartridge if they could) while writing the absolute minimum amount of code possible ('cuz apparently they pay those folks in Latvia by the line), that won't happen.

There was a decent cell version of Hollywood Squares on Verizon a few years back, I can't remember if they had the "earn it yourself" rule or not. It was a good version of the game, especially for a cell phone(most cell games can be crap imho)

I surely hope they're not writing the zingers as well. (shudder)

Um, so? (he says, desperately hoping you're not insinuating what I fear you are insinuating.)

Language like that in a blog post taken wholesale from a press release issued by people who have a vested financial interest in the success of the IP! What do you think it MEANS, man!

Since in the first paragraph, the game is described as "Hollywood Squares", I doubt there's much you ought to be reading into the "The".

It would be cool as all hell, but yeah, I agree with Matt.
