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.

    I used to drink alcohol fairly often. Never to the point of it being a problem, but like 2-3 beers with dinner each night, or a few cocktails or glasses of Scotch or something. Started smoking/vaping weed a lot a few years back which killed 90% of my interest in booze. Now I stopped smoking/vaping weed as much and just deal with life the boring way most of the time

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    I only drank alcohol once and it was by accident
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    I didnt know it was beer, it was on a juice bottle
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Yeah, I'm addicted to smoking, sadly. It's very addictive but I wish I didn't start.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    May just order a 5700g for a nas/emulation set up tbh
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, atleast you were asleep on 4/20

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, you played that Mario flash game called Mario 63?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, No, but I've seen it on Vinesauce's stream.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, that game is one of the reasons i met newgrounds bc the full versión of it is in that site
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Also somebody is remaking it
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Reason how I found Newgrounds: https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/249365
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, the other game where I found newgrounds is new york shark

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Spoke to Tom Fulp the other day, if he can find his old Newgrounds site content like the mini Flash animations from the 2000's that played on the portal.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    So far no response, but he did say that he'll find them. Wayback Machine doesn't have em.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, atleast the 1999 versión of pico's school is avaliable (the difference between it, the 2006 versión and the 2016 versión is that the speed of the game depends of the speed of your computer and that it had the og soundtrack)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Another being Pico VS Bear, the original 1999 version before Jim Henson filed a DMCA takedown.
     +1
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    The 2006 versión was made when the flash portal was made
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Many people thought it was lost, but was discovered that he hid it on the same page.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    https://tcrf.net/Pico_VS_Bear
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, although the "secrets" system where the game was has been removed. Also pico vs uberkids had a netplay versión that was shutdown, although the swf file has been found
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Nope. There are two download buttons on the same page, where you can download the original under a file called "bear.exe". "bear2.exe", however, is the updated game in a Flash projector. P.s. this was on the archived Pico page from 2000.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, That's been there for a long time, too. People who search for lost media don't look hard enough lmao.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, also the pico 2 demos used to be only for the newgrounds patrons but they are on internet archive too (https://archive.org/download/picos_school_2)

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Iirc the demos were removed from newgrounds in 2022
