Jackass Game Preview

Whoa! This is great. While browsing though Games Radar (www.gamesradar.com), I found this latest news that features an interview with the producer of the upcoming Jackass game for PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable (PSP). I never someone would have an idea to create a game that is actually based on the Jackass TV series and movies. The game will also feature some of the well-known Jackass crew like Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera, Ryan Dunn, Chris Pontius, Steve-O, Dave England, Ehren McGhehey, Preston Lacy, and Jason "Wee-Man" Acuña. But I don’t know if these freaks are all featured in the game. Maybe just some of them.

Anyway, check out this interview with Aaron Rigby, the producer of the forthcoming Jackass game.

Q: Where did the inspiration come from for the game?

Aaron Rigby: "The original series was the biggest inspiration. It was just crazy and creative. The way the Jackass crew had the show set up gave us the opportunity to draw from a huge amount of stunts."

Q: Is the game based in actual sketches or are they completely new?

Q: Was it very difficult to create a game based in a TV series that hasn't got any kind of story or screenplay?

Rigby: "Definitely. The story was pretty basic initially, but we got help from the Jackass cast to make it more authentic. It was their input that made the storyline work and their voices that added the credibility and humor to it."

Q: The big appeal of Jackass is the spontaneity. Do you think you have succeeded translating this into a videogame?

Rigby: "That was a real pain. In most games success is success, you either accomplished your goals or you didn't. Jackass doesn't work like that. The stunts in the show were just as good whether they accomplished what they set out to do or failed completely. That means that our goals in a stunt had to make sure that an entertaining failure worked just as well as a resounding success."

Watch out for other updates of the Jackass game on this blog. Got to check for new Toyota MR2 parts on the web so chill out! By the way, check out the image below. This could be featured on the Jackass gameplay soon. There is only one word that I could say about this.... "OUCH!!!"
