The Simpsons: Medal of Homer trailer
4:38 PM on 09.01.2007, Faith 38 comments

     World War II, again
Best. Trailer. Ever! If playing the demo for Electronic Arts' The Simpsons wasn't enough to make me want to buy it, then this trailer sealed the deal. Making fun of other World War II games, the newest Simpsons game trailer takes scenes from their "Medal of Homer" level, and recreates those sappy fallen war heroes game trailers. No disrespect to the fallen war heroes, of course.

I especially love the part where Homer scratches his butt -- classic Simpsons. Look for this game in stores October 2007.

Could this be the great Simpsons game we've been waiting for? Looks like it damn well could be.

When you guys post GameTrailers videos can you put up links as well? Gametrailers broke the OSX player and haven't fixed it yet.

Awesome. I'm wondering if the full game will have a sort of Conker's Bad Fur Day vibe to it...

Thank god theres at least ONE group that you can still rag on and the PC police won't come knocking.

So they're making yet another crappy 3D Simpsons game that nobody asked for while ignoring any requests for The Simpsons arcade game for XBLA/PSN/Wii Store, the one game people actually want. And you say EA is behind this? Naaaaaaah...

Nice! Anything that's not a war sim is good in my book.

dvddesign ,

That's weird, GameTrailers always works on all my my OS X machines. It's the GameVideos embedded player that never works for me.

I so hope this won't suck, but it probably will. Licensed games... meh.

For a next-gen game, shouldn't it be a little smoother looking? The graphics aren't bad, but they look a little rough around the edges.

The trailer was killer though, and I find myself hoping against hope that this game turns out to be good.

The graphics could use some tuning, but the trailer was fantastic. Good luck EA. If this games bombs, you can try to sell The Simpsons Arcade game on the PSN/Wii/XBLA and see what happens.

Give me now. GIVE. I've been playing Medal of Honor Frontline this week, so this is major lolz for me.

Or should I say, "Mjr. Lolz".

i thought this trailer was hilarious. Not only that, this does look like it's a really good game.

Yeah it looks really good. There are a few anomalies that don't seem to set right, like that angle-up of Bart, his mouth looked fucked up. But for the most part, the graphics look very well-rendered.

i've said it before and i'll say it again - no online co-op. i want this game so bad, but i'm not picking it up (right away) because i'll only be playing by my lonesome (when it looks like they really want you to play co-op).

bargain bin next year ftw.

I liked the trailer, but it didn't make me laugh as much as I was hoping. I think that I'll pick up this game none the less, though.

I think Ubisoft using the rabbids to parody their other IPs did it better.

You weren't watching a next-gen (whatever the fuck that means these days) game, you were watching a crappy video encode of an unreleased game.
