WTF? ZootFly developing Mr. T game featuring... Will Wright? photo

We're not sure whether or not this is some bizarre April Fool's joke that's firing off about a month late, but here's this thing...

Developer ZootFly has announced that its secured the rights from Mohawk Media to make a game based off of Mr. T's graphic novels. Normally, I don't simply copy and paste announcements, but I'm in shock and can't think of anything else to say. Here:

ZootFly will develop a series of games packed with the trademark over-the-top adrenaline-pumping action of Mr. T.

The games will feature knuckle-whitening action-adventure, furious brawler combat, gravity-defying platforming, and environmental puzzles.

The first game will see Mr. T take on Nazis and their gigantic machines in the varied universe of South American rain forests, lost ancient cities, industrial complexes and contemporary military installations.

Along with Mr. T and other characters from the graphic novel, the game will feature non other than Will Wright. In this universe, Will Wright is not a top-notch game designer but a top-notch American geneticist who was kidnapped and coerced to work on a diabolic plan. Mr. T and Will Wright will join forces to annihilate the Nazis and their hardware.

ZootFly is saying the game is coming to PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii and PC. We're saying "what the f**k"? We've contacted ZootFly with that very same question, and hope to have more details soon. Honestly, we're finding it hard to believe that this a real thing, but we simply need to tell someone.

There is no mention of a few important fact in the article: Zootfly has never published a game in the U.S, and it's last major project was the original incarnation of the current gen Ghostbusters game...which was promptly shut down by the Ghostbusters license holder(Sony? Don't they own Colombia?). More importantly, Zootfly has mostly made strategy games in Europe, and there work hasn't been extremely well received.

I've seen 50 cent fight terrorists, so I guess I could handle Mr T fighting Nazis.

That's what they get for not treating Mr. T's mother right.

This game will only be GOTY if T himself voices his lines personally. It's gotta be in the same vein that Fiddy had his; click the LS and hear classics like "Shut up, foo!"

Okay, hold on, "the first game?" As in there are plans to make this into a series? This is going to be the best game series ever.

Oh god, this sounds amazing. After the Bob Ross game failed to launch, I finally get the void it left behind filled by another patron saint of win.

@ Droll - because u r kind of a smart ass, i have to school you. Zootfly has never published a game, because Zoot is not a publisher, its a game dev studio. The made a game called Panzer Elite Action(also for US), and it was NOT a strategy game, it was an arcade shooter with tanks. It was published by Jowood. You shouldn't talk about Ghostbusters, because you don't know jack. Even if I wanted to tell you about it, it would require too much writing, so i wont bother... If you don't have anything smart or proven to write, you should stfu and wait if this game will be published, and then u can write about your deepest feelings about it...
