James Riley, the creator of the the FMV game "Night Trap" and the exclusive holder of the rights to the title appears to be interested in re-releasing it in the nearby future. These plans were revealed on a fan page dedicated to the game.​
James Riley said:
"I do plan to re-release Night Trap and have been talking with a number of interested parties to do so, however, the specific platform(s) have not been confirmed (including online) and I will let you know once we have a definite plan and release schedule. (...) Night Trap will come back, in better resolution and game play than before, we just want to be sure it's the best strategy for all involved."
Why should you care? "Night Trap" is one of the titles responsible for the creation of the ESRB, the video game rating board. Back in 1996, the game was actually removed from Toys 'R Us and F.A.O Schwartz store shelves. Night Trap was called anything from "shameful" to "sick" and was believed to "encourage efforts to trap and kill women" despite the fact that the objective of the game is the exact opposite. Yes, kids - this was considered to be the pinnacle of video game violence and adult material. It's considered to be a classic in the FMV games genre (not that there's a lot of contenders for the price) and perhaps we'll get to enjoy it again, this time in glorious high definition...​
Sound the Next Gen alarm, the second era of FMV games is coming! :toot:

Huh. From what I've seen that game is near impossibly hard to play even WITH a guide. That'd be fun for someone new to it.

Haha, good one, Foxi!
Sidenote: Anyone seen the GameGrumps series for this game? Hilarious stuff.


I may have to check that out. After Jontron left, I gave the series a solid go, but it just was never the same after 2 months without Jon, I called it quits and haven't watched it since. Which is something of a shame because I like Danny, he isn't as funny as Jontron, but funnier than ego, which made me realize that the ultimate gamegrumps is the coupling of the three that never happened, would have loved Danny and Jon playing together. Still I'll give the night trap series a go, maybe it will be enough to get me back into those guys.

I've love to see FMV's have a second wind so very much! Now that times have moved on and developers have learned what not to do, maybe now they can create new and innovative ways in regards to what to do, or what did work and was just merely over looked because of the PSX band wagon.
As far as this game is concerned, it's a gem merely for the fact that it's one of the first video games to not only feature live actors and violent content, but also one of the first (of many) video games with HORRIBLE acting! If there is such a thing as Best of the Worst for video games, this one would deserve to be near the top of that pile.

So the future really was FMV... Nah. :P
I wonder how they would do it, considering the (wrongly) controversy of the '90s(But things changed, so whatever :P) and finding similar actress too.

    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just like any comedies really, and cartoons have always been a favorite of mine. Family guy, American Dad, Futurama, Cleveland Show, Simpsons - I like them all.

    South Park is great cause they always touch on relavent issues going on today, and make something funny out of it.

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa were you always up to date on the current events and issues of the time or were there issues that you first found out thru south park
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Most of the time yea I knew, I watch and read the news regularly, but sometimes the Hollywood BS stuff, like concerning actors slip by me. I don't follow most Hollywood BS (example: the Kardasians)

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa there were relevant issues before south park was made, that's why i think a south park prequel/spinoff would be great. Randy and his friends in their child hood

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, like them running in high school together, getting into stuff, and how they got hitched and had kids. And how the town of South Park was back then compared to now. That would be cool to see.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @salazarcosplay if they made a prequel, it would still be about current issues, cause it doesn't make sense to make it about stuff that happened 30 years ago that nobody cares about anymore
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's too late
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the older south park episodes about particular issues usually age poorly since the topic is no longer relevant
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    an exception is giant douche vs turd sandwich, that's always relevant :P
