Upcoming Michael Jackson Game Might Be Affected by Artist's Death

Michael Jackson, the record-breaking, sensationally gifted "King of Pop" who emerged from childhood superstardom to become the entertainment world's most influential singer and dancer, and the tabloid world's most disturbing celebrity, has died. He was 50.

Michael Jackson has a planned video game bring released for the PS2, PS3, and Nintendo Wii this holiday season. No word yet as to whether or not the performer's death will cause a delay or cancellation of the game.

SKUD5410d ago

Totally didn't see this one coming. I really am surprised by this. King of pop R.I.P.

FamilyGuy5410d ago (Edited 5410d ago )

That was out of nowhere. First we hear a game is being made, the next week he dies? And at 50!?

Didn't Farrah Fawcett die today too? The comments on the source site say that 3 celebs died today, who was the third?

BRACHATTACK5410d ago (Edited 5410d ago )

You were such an icon, i just can't get over this...

Be at peace, MJ.

Disagrees? You people should be ashamed...

Lucreto5410d ago

FamilyGuy - 50 is quite young my Mom was born the day after MJ so this has hit home for me and my family

RememberThe3575410d ago

The sad thing is that with all our stupid ass flame wars, go check out the ABC News story on this, and read to disrespectful bullshit they're saying about him...

My fav entertainer and singer. RIP MJ. I grew up to his music. :(

Ahmad-5410d ago

Dun, dun, dun ..... A child pred bites the dust!

LtSkittles5410d ago

but it's still sad that it happened.

Rock Bottom5410d ago

Michael Jackson is a legend, he proved that some people will love you even if you were a pedophile.

Lifendz5410d ago

and believe me when I tell you that when I was kid Michael Jackson was larger than life. He wasn't just a performer; he was the biggest star in the world. I saw him perform at Madison Square Garden when I was six years old and that concert was perhaps the best I've ever been too. Despite the controversy that surrounded his life in his later years, I can say that his music, his shows, and his performances brought my family together on many a night. And getting his Michael Jackson's Moonwalker for Sega Genesis was maybe the best Christmas ever.

Rest in peace Michael.

xwabbit5410d ago

Whose the nub disagreeing

Kassanova075410d ago

RIP Mike. I'll listen to Thriller in memory of King.

qface645410d ago

i preferred him when he was black after that meh

but still this was a surprise to hear
i wasn't even aware he was sick

talltony5410d ago

Wanted to see him in his comeback tour too.
Rest in peace MJ!

table5410d ago (Edited 5410d ago )

why all the sympathy for a paedo?

bushfan5410d ago (Edited 5410d ago )

he was a pedophile ...i can't feel pity about his dead...

But he was the great king of POP....period

EpicGamerSwordsman5410d ago

R.I.P Michael Jackson (1959-2009) He maybe dead, but His music lives on forever.

harrisk9545410d ago

I remember seeing Michael Jackson in concert in 1984 at the Orange Bowl in Miami... What a bummer! The guy has had nothing but controversy in his life for the past decade. An abrupt end to a sad life...

And poor Farrah Fawcett... overshadowed by MJ in the news only hours after her death... at least Ed McMahon got a few days in the headlines.

chaosatom5410d ago

His music will live forever.

pixelsword5410d ago

To the best performer of all time.

Sibs5410d ago

:( 2 famous deaths both on my birthday... 'tis a shame.

The real King of Pop died years ago, his body died today though.

y0haN5410d ago

I am so sick of hearing MJ news, I came on N4G to avoid it -.-

RIP NTL though, he was awesome.

jwatt5410d ago

R.I.P MJ, love your music.

Boody-Bandit5410d ago

Well you finally have peace MJ!
You'll truly be missed by music fans around the world.

ultimolu5410d ago

I see that a lot of immature people are disagreeing for very stupid reasons.

People need to grow up. It doesn't matter what he did in his life that was wrong. What matters is his legacy.

Have some respect, my God.

Boody-Bandit5410d ago

Thanks for bringing us this story.
All the BULLSH!T that gets approved here and this fails?

RIP Michael Jackson The King of Pop :'(

This should be approved just for Michael Jackson.

Holds a candle lit vigil in his honor.

Rock Bottom5410d ago

I don't see why this shouldn't be approved in the first place, he had a game about him announced just days ago, and his death would definitely affect the game, wither it does so in a good or a bad way, this article IS video games related. :)

PirateThom5410d ago

What about the MJ PS3, PS2 and Wii game?

SactoGamer5410d ago

For those who thing this isn't gamer news, he's got a new game coming out ( http://www.n4g.com/News-349... Besides, it's Michael Friggin' Jackson.

GCNSeanFoster5410d ago

He also had the Arcade and Sega Genesis game... Just crazy... kinda shocked he died... Its like the 80's died today with him, Farrah and Ed McMahon...

FamilyGuy5410d ago

So Ed Mcman was the third. That's kinda freaky but at least the other two were old, 50, that's my parents age...

GiantEnemyCrab5410d ago (Edited 5410d ago )

There was a Charlies Angels video game as well but you don't see news about Farrah Fawcett. This is NOT gaming news no matter how you want to spin it and this site is a joke when it comes to reporting stories that shouldn't be approved. You are just whoring this out for hits to your NEWS site and you are just a footnote as the "gaming guys".

Videogamer: Michael Jackson The Game Review

Videogamer: "All dance game reviews require a quick sentence from the writer about how much of a tit they looked whilst playing the game. It's a quick admission of the fact that, 'Yes, I've played the game, but I also have enough self respect to realise I looked ridiculous.'"

Michael Jackson Game Detailed

G4tv.com writes... "Ubisoft E3 2010 press conference featured an appearance by a bunch of Michael Jackson's dancers, and while the proteges of the King of Pop busted out some funky-fly-fresh-wicka-wicka moves, there wasn't really any information revealed about how Jackson's ouvre will be translated to the gaming space. Today, thanks to an interview with Video Games 247, we have those details for you... aren't you lucky?"

RememberThe3575038d ago

I probably wont touch this game with a ten foot pole, but it sounds like something casual gamers and MJ fans could really get into.

I'm still surprised that we're not seeing a MJ Sing Star.

Joule5038d ago

Yeah an MJ Sing Star would be perfect. I mean Michael Jackson does have some damn good music.

DarkSpawnClone5038d ago

lol i agree i wont be even looking at this game,don't really care for his music all that much he has some good songs tho,nothing i would listen to all the time.
i don't need a MJ game lol

Red-Dead-Roar5038d ago (Edited 5038d ago )

so they are finally releasing a game where you can change the color of your skin, walk backwards and fuck children? what has the world come to?

Quagmire5038d ago (Edited 5038d ago )

How bout i change the colour of your skin, whilst making you walk backwards while i fuck your children?

MJ game will be good, nothing appealing to me though.

"So there you have it: A combination dancing and karaoke game with a Michael Jackson feel. I predict shovelware, but I'm pretty cynical. What do you think?"

I think I agree. Yet I'm 100% sure that a few millions sheeps will buy it. *sighs*
