Family Guy Online

This week's edition of I-can't-believe-they're-making-that-into-an-MMO comes courtesy of Fox and the Family Guy. Yes, Family Guy. The MMO. We're not kidding. Details are pretty scarce at this point, so the wisecracks we're dying to make about history's worst IP-to-game translations will have to wait until there's some actual gameplay footage, screenshots, or trailers available.

As it stands, Family Guy Online was announced via its official website, and Fox has also set up a Facebook presence as well as the usual social media suspects. Interested parties can register on the official site, and while said registration doesn't guarantee a beta slot, the site does say that registration will put you "among the first in line for the closed beta." Stay tuned to Massively for further Family Guy MMO news as it happens!

What?

Um wait what. What would you do in this mmo? Tell overused jokes and then what?

...Wat?
I'm curious about the gameplay... wonder how it will be/what you're going to do etc etc.
Though I doubt I'll play it.

i have no idea what to think right now, that's just, umm idk. I'm just wondering what you would do. ._.

I hope Lois is a playable character. *wink wink*

But really, this is the WoW killer right here.

This has to be a joke.

[Iron Dome]

looks kinda stupid, not even sure how it's gonna be a MMO and you can interact with other players, gameplay will probably be terrible as well as graphics.

hehehe already got my closed beta key. ujelly that i will be amognst the first to play the next-gen wowkiller?

but seriously i did get my key. im terrified as to how this is going to work....

I actually think it looks pretty interesting, thanks for posting about it ^^. Though I'm more interested in that unity engine they're gonna be using. Might take a look at the basic one, since it's free.

Edit:
Lol @ the email they send after registering

Hey you,

So you're in line for the Closed Beta of Family Guy Online. Thanks for signing up. Gotta ask though - did you read the Terms of Use? The Privacy Policy? I mean actually read them? You didn't, did you? You really have no idea what is in there, but you accepted it anyway.


Don't worry about it. It's all pretty standard stuff, except for the part about harvesting your reproductive cells for a top secret government project to make half-horse half-human super-soldiers.

Though that actually makes me think more about that South Park episode than Family Guy. Did read some of it though, would give 'em a lot of free way to do things like increasing any potential costs and stuff. Accepted anyways, cause hey! Centaur soldiers ftw.

Damn you vile woman!

[McNeil]

I somehow predict this game will be a failure

[Skyve]

Um wait what. What would you do in this mmo? Tell overused jokes and then what?

Obviously then comes th pointless violence OR the flashback.

[Army of Darkness]

I'm actually interested in this. I'm definitely not going to play, but still curious.

I found this when reading the comments on the page. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_Ball_Online

Probably some browser game though:P MMO doesn't automatically mean "like WoW". There are so many of unknown MMOs out there, some are even text based and such so it's not such a big surprise at all.
