    In fairness to the American Idol game, given it was the Ps2 Era, it was better off with button input than some form of vocal input- Mic Input wasn't exactly the best back in that day, chances were everybody would be throwing the game in the trash whenever it failed to recognize their audio within an hour of playing this game...

  • @iamRayRagin
    @iamRayRagin 10 месяцев назад +3

    Here's the Thing: If you really look at Def Jam: Vendetta and FFNY, it really WAS a weird idea, especially looking at it during the Era when it came out. Rappers, Actors and Celebrities in a fighting game against each other (in the 2000s) was a crazy concept.
    The fact that it's legacy was able to transcend different periods of gaming and do something extremely way ahead of its time just adds to its timelessness. It's fanbase and unsilencing outcry for a follow-up, sequel, remake or just for it to be for sale again proves that.

      The game still sells for $150-$250 all the time so a remake would be great for killions of players but the og game value will plummet too. This would be some amazing news though as it would literally be a cash cow for them knowing MILLIONS will buy it no questions asked if its a proper remaster.

    Speaking of Pimp my ride:
    - The contestents backstories are fake
    -The are connected to the production staff
    -The contestants were given alternative places to live for the filming of the show.
    -The cars are damaged and paint worn out to exagerrate the issue for the camera
    -Contestents had to rent cars for months as they awaited their pimped out ride
    -They fatshamed a contested by rigging their car with candy and food wraps just to install their idea of a candyfloss maker to the car.
    -None of the cars were repaired during the pimp out.
    -Alot of the cars were non-functional and needed wheeled out of the shop after the episode.
    -Alot of the whacky features of the cars were inpractical, didn't work and were illegal for usage on the road.
    -Alot of features added to the cars were removed for these reasons.
    -The reactions by Clients were completely rigged or faked
    -Alot of the cars that got pimped ended up being sold instead for a decent amount of money.
    Whether this covered the expenses for renting out a car and having to potentially buy another car at the end is a mystery.

    I have def jam fight for ny for ps2 and GameCube. I bought the sopranos for ps2 along time ago for under $10.00. I played pimp my ride on Xbox360 back in the day. I only have wwe crush hour for the rarity and obscurity. The ps2 has so many great games and I still have my ps2 and all of my games. At the end of ps2 life alot of shovelware was made. Save for persona 4 naruto shippuden ultimate ninja 4. I do collect obscure games that the mainstream knows very little about.

    Any game that has trash talk like "Imma rip out your tongue, and wipe my ASS wit it!" definitely belongs on a list of Weird games. Def Jam was something else, that's for sure...
