Top developers are getting together to create what they claim will be the best game ever created. Their philosophy is to combine their top-selling games and distill them into one super-blockbuster. It’s an idea that’s been done before but not to this magnitude. The game is called Call of Halo: Pac-Theft Mario 2, and will feature elements from the following games: Call of Duty, Halo, Pac-Man, Grand Theft Auto, Mario Bros., and The Sims. Developers from companies such as Rock Star, Atari, Infinity Ward, and Bungie have been brainstorming this unprecedented merger for a number of years. Only one developer per company was involved in the meetings, where the highest level of security and secrecy was employed. Chairperson for the group, Nintendo’s Yang Tin Tin explains: “We knew immediately we did not want this game to be a Frankenstein. It had to smoothly blend all of the elements of all these great games. It’s amazing. This game has to be experienced to be believed. Even when I tell you the premise, it’s only the tip of the gaming iceberg. Everything you like about all of these great games will be included, and I’m proud to say our Mario is the star character, although this is a Mario you’ve never seen before,” Tin Tin reveals ominously. According to the developers, the game takes place on a strange and violent planet. A gritty, tough-as-nails Mario will lead a group of disgraced Space Marines against a simulated civilization of ghosts that guard vintage automobiles. Mario calls the shots. He issues commands to steal whatever weapons and treasures his squad can get their hands on, including dead hookers from the trunks of cars and those delicious pellets and fruit. With each successful mission, Mario and his rag-tag gang will take control of more territory until they rule the planet, at which time they’ll have to manage it properly and take care of the population to avoid revolts and civil wars. Call of Halo: Pac-Theft Mario 2 features every genre in the book, including real-time strategy, turn-based strategy, FPS, micromanagement, puzzles, RPG, platforming, action, and adventure. It will include a 50-hour plus single-player mode, in addition to a persistent online multiplayer mode that the developers claim will never end. Call of Halo: Pac-Theft Mario 2 is scheduled for release early next year. It will be made available for every gaming system that ever existed including the Genesis, Commodore 64, Vectrex, and the Odyssey, to name a few. |
