Sounding more bitter than a skunked beer, Wanted producer Pete Wanat puffed out his chest and fanned his feathers recently in an interview with Game Trailers Invisible Walls.
While the remarks were almost literally green with envy over Nintendo’s current run of success, they were also ignorant of how a successful Wii or DS title actually matures over time, and doesn’t blow its load in the first week like a blockbuster “mature” title on one of those other systems. He also decided it would be cool to speak for Sega regarding MadWorld, even though he has no existing connection to the publisher or its title.
But anyway, since he’s so eager to give out free advice, here’s some from a couple of Infendo editors, formulated during the lunch hour:
Dear Bearded Embarrassment to Gaming,
if you’re going to whine and criticize Nintendo like a 12-year-old boy who pulls the hair of the girl he really likes in class, at least have a resume to back it up. We’re truly sorry that your excessively violent, mediocre licensed movie games don’t sell as much as you think they should. And sunglasses inside? What is this, Vice City?
Toodles,
Infendo
And… scene.
Arrested Developmet quote?
Hell yeah!
“Pete Wanat puffed out his chest”
Nah that’s just his gut.
Is that Bob’s brother?
I never saw this… Is there a link?
“and doesn’t blow its load in the first week like a blockbuster “mature†title on one of those other systems”
hmmm….

I just listened to the show. Jesus, could those guys shove Sony’s dick any further down their throats? I sincerely doubt it.
WORD! lol
haha. Toodles.
This post is absurd.
The guy is a hack. Have you played the wanted demo? Not good. Not good at all.
is he serious?? does he not realize that between nintendo, sony, and microsoft, that nintendo is the only one making a profit, sony is losing money, and microsoft is barely breaking or losing money, if nintendo plays it smart their next gen system will have better everything, but still be cheaper then the next gen of microsoft and sony
my predictions for the next gen, Microsoft and Sony are going to have similar controls to the Wii, but not exactly. Nintendo is going to slightly improve its controls but the idea of motion control will be the same. They will use newer components but still keep the price way under that of Microsoft and Sony. Again everyone is going to wait in line for the release of the next gen Xbox and PS. Nintendo’s next gen will hold its own in the market but not be successful as the wii, unless it is truly upgraded and better then the Wii in every way and has some new innovation
What is this guy’s deal with releasing a Wanted game now anyway? The movie came out last year. And it didn’t even do that well for itself, I thought. It seems like if you wanted to make a game based on the movie, you’d want to do it around when the movie came out, not the next year. I know the movie was loosely based on a graphic novel (“loosely” being the key word. The book has a much more interesting concept than Morgan Freeman running an assassination service.), but they did say that it’s based on the movie.

I DO smell a new Bob brewing here.
