On the eve of the franchise’s 30th anniversary since the original Spy Hunter was released to arcades in 1983, the new Spy Hunter races forward on PlayStation Vita and Nintendo 3DS, developed by TT Fusion. The player once again takes on the role of the “Agent,” the driver of the high-tech G-6155 Interceptor supercar.
Sometimes, companies feel they have to add a little star power to their games. So, they call in actual stars. Take a look at ten times where pulling in celebrities was a great idea.
Lee Jacobson sees parallels between two pubs' collapses, talks about difficulty of killing doomed projects. "I can't tell you how many times we kept SpyHunter 3 going when we never should have kept SpyHunter 3 going because we had $12 million capitalized on budget."
Koku Gamer writes: 'It seems that the long-forgotten Spy Hunter movie that was to star Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson could still be made, according to Halo screenwriter Stuart Beattie.'
The Rock has been starring in a lot of sh!tty movies recently. Race to Witch Mountain... really dumb movie.
Well that was a total waste. Nothing but D-list celebs, and oddly footage of an old Spy Hunter I've never seen nor played which featured SHMUP boss battles.
Would love it if someone just took the original gameplay from the PS2/Xbox1 remake and extended the missions, gave more track options with longer gameplay, and let you call the weapons van.
Amazing how hard that turned out to be.
