Gaming Scribblenauts Hype and News Thread

[Donato_Dobango]

I don't think we need slots to make objects, since I have a feeling that just about anything we can guess that's not a penis will be in the game already.

User Generated Content will exist, too, as you can dictate exactly how objects exist in your own levels. So let's say you download my awesome map that I share when the game goes live. You might see that Zombies are craving ice cream and trees can only be cut down with paper planes in my world.

I think that offers a lot more creativity and varied content than just making objects, especially with so many objects already in the game.

And we have some first hand impressions of the game in a sandbox "Try our objects" mode:

Also - Confirmation of Keyboard Cat! I wonder how many memes they will try to cram in there by the end. I will now call forth Chocolate Rain!

 

[PettingZoo]

Yay, release dates

 

[Domination]

Wow. Can we write down /facepalm and own everyone on the map?

Wait..... I thought release was Fall 2009 why does IGN have it Q4?

 

[Law]

I'm going to try and beat this game with nothing but sharks.

Edit: Haha oh wow, just saw that "Writing" trailer. Crowbars? Seriously? I think it's time to go all out Gordon Freeman style.

Destructoid impressions at E3

Seems to have a pretty awesome dictionary and really plays as well as they claim.

But I won't trust their review until other reviewers give their thumbs up since these guys are just bastards with lots of bias.

 

[Donato_Dobango]

IGN gave it a thumbs up, too. I have yet to see a negative comment about the gameplay or gimmick of the game, just the fact that it looks a bit childish by design.

 

[Domination]

Then I'm game

The "childish style" is actually present in most of 5th cells games.... Drawn to Life and Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter, both still have the style.... even lock's quest retains some of the style. Just like how most of Level 5's DS games have the cool art style (Ni no Kuni, Layton, DQIX). I guess the art style is set amongst the companies.

Just a question: Can I produce facepalming presidents?

 

[Donato_Dobango]

I wonder if it's possible to summon a stovepipe hat and beard and have the level pretend you are Abe Lincoln.

I bet there's something easter egg-y that pops up when you put in "Pocket Monster," too.

Me? I'm typing in Power Glove and dominating the level Wizard-style.

 

[KicksDS]

I read in a magazine you can type murderer, and a murderer will chase you until you type police >_<

That isn't exactly kid friendly xD

 

[iPikachu]

really?
how about typing:
reborn
shotgun
zombies
nintendo
butler
money

 

[elixirdream]

i am noob!
i have no idea what is this game about ?
hahaha maybe when the game is out .. i will take a look?
wait FALL? i guess i will be a giraffe then
~!

 

[iPikachu]

you have no diea what this game is all about even though the title says scribble

o_o

 

[Domination]

The game is about scaring children

Spoiler

NOT. Its about scribbling words on a virtual note pad in this game and it absurdly becomes real. Even facepalming shark mutants!

 

[Donato_Dobango]

really?
how about typing:
reborn
shotgun
zombies
nintendo
butler
money

Reborn is a verb, so most likely will not work. Do you mean "Resurrect?" as a means to keep playing after you die? I'd just type in suit of armor to keep from dying.
Shotgun - Definitely in game
Zombie - Definitely in game, as are werewolves and vampires. It seems some of these monsters can spread and make you or others monsters, too, if they bite you.
Nintendo - I'm sure, if they get Nintendo's blessing, we'll see all Nintendo consoles and controllers
Butler - And maid should definitely be in. I can see the Butler serving you some food to regain health or the maid to dust up an area to make it clean
Money - Sure, bags of money for everyone!

 

[Donato_Dobango]

More e3 hands on impressions with the object generator sandbox level:
http://www.joystiq.com/2009/06/04/play-scr...f-keyboard-cat/

Screenshots show not only is Keyboard Cat in the game, his playing can cause the creator director of the game (which you can also summon) to dance. Longcat is also in the game as well, as are both a Mech AND a Mecha, the distinction is obvious.

 

[elixirdream]

yes scribble for what? whats the purpose of scribble?
things become real?
SURE i will try with words like

money
gold
cash
credit card
diamond

i hope i don't end up

based on Donato_Dobango explaination...
the game seems to be interesting and being different

 

[Domination]

The things materialise absurdly and magically in-game. You can write shark and laser cannon and a shark with a laser cannon on its back will come out.

This game is pretty much going to be a new experience. The in-game dictionary is big too.

Oh and its from the creators of Lock's Quest and Drawn to Life

Speaking of that, I wonder when Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter is coming out. I'll make a hype thread! maybe

 

[Joey Ravn]

God's in. I'm in. This is totally awesome.

 

[Domination]

^^^

GOD!!!!! ROFLs badly. Hey that kinda religious discriminating seeing that muslims believe god does not have a true form (or something like that) and that god in other cultures isn't like that.

JK

These game can actually be as good as GTA, seeing how you can make a flamethrower and maybe shotguns!

They mentioned Obama..... Though his not in there. I wonder..... if i write "president" who will come out? This vague terms are actually kinda bad since these are defined differently from person to person IMO.
