The M is for Millennium!

It\'s to be expected, even I didn\'t really \"notice\" this game until yesterday, but I feel it hasn\'t yet got the recognition it deserves. Hopefully this thread will change that for C3 atleast, because it was a similar thread on another forum that caught my own attention.

Scribblenauts is an upcoming DS game by the creative minds behind Drawn to Life, and it sounds perhaps one of the most genius games ever invented. Here are some vids to show you why:

If you didn\'t smile once while watching those you have a stone heart. Smilie

And a little something from some guy at NeoGAF:

Show Spoiler

Various internet memes and fads, mythological creatures, and famous people are also confirmed.

tl;dr - If you\'re not excited for this game in any way there\'s probably something wrong with you.

Express your \"Holy shit\"s below.

I had played all the big titles at E3. Private showings of God of War III, Heavy Rain, Alan Wake. But at 4:00 on Thursday, I was wandering around the show floor, wondering what else I had to see. I saw a small little booth for "Scribblenauts!" in the Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment section. I mean, who goes to that booth? But I remember hearing about it on GAF, and so I decided to check it out.

Best game of E3? Without a fucking doubt. Anyone who says otherwise did not play Scribblenauts. Best game of all time? Jesus Christ, I don't know, maybe. It's a game that challenges your IMAGINATION. No other game has ever done that.

So listen to this story. I was in the early levels; I didn't quite have an idea of how ridiculously in-depth the database was. I was summoning things like ladders, glasses of water, rayguns, what have you. But I reached a level with zombie robots, and the zombie robots kept killing me. Rayguns didn't work, a torch didn't work, a pickaxe didn't work. In my frustration, I wrote in "Time Machine". And one popped up. What the fuck? A smile dawned on my face. I hopped in, and the option was given to me to either travel to the past or the future. I chose past. When I hopped out, there were fucking dinosaurs walking around. I clicked one, and realized I could RIDE THEM. So I hopped on a fucking DINOSAUR, traveled back to the present, and stomped the shit out of robot zombies. Did you just read that sentence? Did you really? I FUCKING TRAVELED THROUGH TIME AND JUMPED ON A DINOSAUR AND USED IT TO KILL MOTHERFUCKING ROBOT ZOMBIES. This game is unbelievable. Impossible. There's nothing you can't do.

Holy fucking shit.

Forget your Uncharted 2, your Splinter Cell, your Metroid. Screw your Motion Plus, Dildo Wands, Natal and Milo. This is the highlight of E3 HANDS-DOWN. Probably the most insanely ambitious title in years and it looks to be fulfilling its potential on the oldest and weakest system on the market.[/quote][/spoiler]

Smilie Looks brilliant!

Is it possible to draw your own stuff and assign words to them?

Woah that zombie motherfucking dinosaurs bit is instant win. We've covered quite a bit of the game on C3, but I think it could have been initially dismissed because of the association with Drawn to Life and the game's presentation.

Definitely worth watching methinks! Smilie

Who knows. I guess if not then it could be crossed over with Drawn to Life at some point.

I wonder if sexual objects are included in the Database? i.e Dildo.

Probably not.

Still, it looks and sounds like an awesome game, shear re-play value, just to find every single object you type in.

It also got Gametrailer\'s DS game of E3 (they haven\'t done the game of whole of E3 yet)

Yeah probably not, I was just thinking of the inclusion of Goatse myself. :s

It\'s sounds too good to be real. Smilie

They\'re limited to PG13/E-10, so nothing mature.

Apparantly this includes drugs and alcahol, but I\'d be pretty surprised if \"Magic Mushroom\", \"Wine\", or \"Beer\" didn\'t make it in in some shape or form.

EDIT: JB when I was looking for a currently existing thread I saw some of the news pieces.

The shockingly low amount of comments on them made me even more adamant to spread the word!

I wonder if you can summon a DS to play Scribblenauts on in which you create a DS to play Scribblenauts on ad infinitum.

Birdo Is A Tranny on 12.06.2009 at 17:13#13

Was something like this not done before?
It's interesting to say the least....

TaoFire on 12.06.2009 at 17:53#14

Im very skeptical, tbh.

But if they do what they\'re saying, it\'d be pretty awesome.

Sounds awesome!
I summon MANBEARPIG

I want this game, looks absolubtly nuts!

That particular Manbearpig actually looks quite a lot like a Drawn to Life creation Smilie

What\'s there to be that skeptical about? The game was playable at E3 as the vids show, and has been tested out by numerous sites/mags, all with very positive reaction.

Witch + Stake + Fire. Would be fun if it's possible.

Mason on 12.06.2009 at 20:49#20

I'd be willing to bet it is. Smilie I love the fact that in the free play mode you can just do whatever stupid things you like, and also the objects aren't just 'there'; they all seem to have individual characteristics, enemies, uses, etc..

Jump_button on 12.06.2009 at 20:53#21

yeah this one got a bit snow under wat E3 but alot of ppl be saying it going be a sleeper hit

I was just thinking that we desperately needed a thread for this. Its winning game of E3\'s left and right, stealing them from the big blockbusters like Uncharted. It really looks like one of the most fantastic game ideas I have ever seen. Easily leap frogging to my most anticipated title of the year.

Im very skeptical, tbh.

How can you be skeptical unless you haven\'t been paying attention? Everyone single person who has previewed this game has left positively blown away.

Some more video footage. It's become one of my most anticipated games for this year, it looks incredible.

Wow, good job at just blatantly copying someone else's post. Smilie

As for the game, what are you talking about SL? There's been plenty of coverage of it both in Nintendo Power (sorry for all those who don't get the magizine) and even on this site. But, I must say, we all need to cry out in one large nergasim over this game. This is a type of game that I would willingly camp outside the store over night for if there were to be a shortage.

The former top user was Keven! You'd probably give birth to yourself 1000 times over until you sprout wings to fly away into the fading sun, that or you'd just turn into a lesbian. Who knows @_@ - L, 12/06/09
