Not everyone laughs with the Simpsons

Posted on Friday, 5 October 2007 by Anneleen, source: evilavatar

Als you all know, The Simpsons Game will feature parodies of well-known game series, for instance Medal of Honor and Neverquest. Not everyone likes the idea.

Greg Rizzer, one of the game's developers, said that under pressure of publisher Rockstar certain things had to be removed from the game, more specificly the Grand Theft Scratchy level:

"I was always under the impression that when you do parody, it's a sign of respect... If we make fun of Grand Theft Auto, we're not going to hurt the sales of Grand Theft Auto... But yeah, we've definitely had some reactions - we've had to pull stuff from the game", The Simpsons lead designer Greg Rizzer revealed to us in an interview earlier this week.

Quite strange that it has to be Rockstar that demands this. Their own Grand Theft Auto is full with references to all sorts of products, movies and clichés.

A funnier reaction was Harmonix's on Sitar Hero, another level. They immediately demanded 20 copies of a parody poster.

I don't know if you've seen Sitar Hero? We did Apu playing this 60-button controller and songs like Pour Some Curry On Me - we made this wonderful parody poster and the guys from Harmonix loved it and we sent them 20 copies of the poster. They just loved it so much."
