Title: Zoonami officially annouces their first tiitle...
Post by: Rhoq on April 23, 2004, 10:03:04 AM
Over at IGN, there is a news story about Zoonami. They have officially announced their first game...and it is multi-platform. The name of the title is: Funkydilla and it is a "music-based, action game". Quite the opposite of what had been rumored.

Anyways, they (IGN) expect more information to become available at E3 next month.

Hey, we need more music-based games...

But is it Game Zero?  No... ^_^

"Pick a popular artist like Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, or Beyonce and their loyal fan base will be all over it. Go in other directions, like Usher, Evanescence, or Moby and you have a completely different game, ready for the next party, high school event or casual get together."

What is this?  Name six artists Ian hates?

Anyhoo I'm a little disappointed in the sense that I was expecting something a little more... big from Zoonami.  Plus it's multiplatform which is a concept I'm not too keen on.  "Multiplatform" is like secret code for "screw over the Cube".  Odds are though this probably isn't even Game Zero.  Realistically if THIS is all Zoonami has worked on for the last few years they have to be a little more efficient.  Since even ex-Rare employees shouldn't be that slow Game Zero is likely a different project.

On it's own merits this game sounds like it could be pretty good.  The only issue is what music they pick for it.  If it's nothing but crappy Justin/Britney sh!t it's an instant not-buy for me.

Why are they wasting their time on this when they could be doing Game Zero for the Cube?

Why is everybody abandoning the Cube now? I'm getting the feeling it's back to the n64 again... a few great Nintendo exclusives make GC worth buying, but forget anything else.

Yes, Game Zero is still assumed to be GC exclusive...

I was under the same impression at first, and fell into a bout of hysteria.

2004 is shaping up to be a dismal year for Cube news.

shattered dreams everywhere


anyways, if they put some Iced Earth, DragonForce, Opeth, Freedom Call, or Dream Theater songs on this Funkydilla, then I'll be content (in other words, this game is gonna be teh suck)

Come on guys(and/or girls), I think your being rather harsh on the game. The Cube only has one upcoming music game(Donky Konga), while both the Xbox and PS2 have quite a few more.

And the soundtrack can't be that bad, its made by people in the UK, and as far as I know they don't have as many manufactured bands and no-talent pop singers over there. It could have been worse is all I'm trying to say.

I also don't believe this to be game zero, seeing as how no news sites are saying anything like "Game Zero revieled."

Arg, I forgot about that, but then again notice that I said "as many." the UK does have a smaller population than the US, and just by that fact there have to be fewer crap "artist" over there.

Also by that I meant mainly dance stuff not rock or pop or anything of that ilk.

Let's hope for their sake Game Zero is something else. This sounds like a bad-to-mediocre game and if it's really their only title in the works, they can go and die, for all I care.

Opeth, Fear Factory... yeah... they would be good inclusions... We are not that lucky though.

I think this game might suck..... Where the hell is "Game Zero"?

Well i kinda got this urge about a song based game cause read the workers BIOs, a chick that owned a music store arround in LA or whatever and migrated to work for Zoonami.


Edit: Well you cant really see the Zoonami site because they're redoing their site.

Game Zero will be this music game, slightly different for the GC version. It'll start off with no music. You'll have to buy E-Reader cards which contain the songs. At 2k each, alot of cards will need to be purchased.

Okay, here's the lates scoop from IGN. Well, that Martin guy from Zoonami has confirmed that they're working on two different titles, and the one supposedly codenamed "Game Zero" is not Funkydilla.

There you guys happy now?

"We don't plan to show any games at E3," Hollis stated. "It is a bit of a cattle-market really."

Hah! Eat that IGN!

Buck up, we've still got the shiny new "mysterious peripheral of mystery" coming at E3.

I read the IGN article...how come every game interview with a former employee of some huge company that "betrayed" Nintendo always has the question, "What do you think of the huge company you used to work for NOW?"  Did they really think Hollis was going to say, "Oh, they're a piece of crap and I hope they all rot!"

Anyway, I think this "game" sounds intriguing, now that I've actually heard someone talk about it instead of just looking at pictures.  Nifty idea, and it sounds like Zoonami is still working closely with Nintendo.
