Laguna Beach video game coming soon!

by Joystiq Staff on Aug 7th 2006 12:15PM

We know, we know, this is exactly the kind of good and important news you like to hear on a Monday at Joystiq. Based on There, Virtual Laguna Beach will be an online world where you don't just watch the hit MTV reality soap Laguna Beach, you "live it!"

Currently conducting Alpha testing, VLB (as all the cool kids call it) will allow you to do the following gnarly things:

Create a character, chat with others
Attend parties at your favorite Laguna Beach hot spots
Watch all your favorite Laguna Beach episodes and listen to music
Explore a world full of hidden surprises
Play games and have fun!

Like, oh my God, we can't wait to play this. Think of all the fun we'll have spending our time out on the virtual beach creating virtual drama with our virtual fake, bitter friends. We're soooo gonna play the Kristen role, y'all.

[Thanks, Bet]

I got a ice pick, now all I need is the address of the genius behind this pile of horse shit.

Finaly, some real news.

...

Wow.......?.........uh.......

As long as there is an emote for "Like, oh my GOD!"

But seriously, who DOESN'T want to RP a whiny spoiled bitch?

Kristen is hot, that's all i have to offer to this discussion.

In other news, Capcom has announced a tie-in with the upcoming reality-show-turned-video-game Virtual Laguna Beach titled "Dead Rising: Laguna Beach." Teach the undead how to dress and act in a consequence-free world! Feed poor people to the undead and then laugh about it over your $23 martinis! Command your army of the undead with phrases such as "Like, OH. MY. GOD." and "Totally get them!"

At this time, Capcom has announced no intention to create a similar tie-in based on The Hills.

This is a horrible, Horrible idea.

I'm glad as hell my country doesn't have this. just the image and description alone makes this show sound naff.

I remember when Big Breakfast did a special about Unreal and they mapped out the house complete with Phil Gail mug shots as wallpapers. OT but still...

EUHK!
If Lauren Conrad wasn't any more insufferable, now she's gonna be digital.

This is why I don't watch MTV anymore. Too cool for the room douchebags.

Oh my! This game is going to stink.. Who would want to play a whiny little girl, with her whiny little Emo friends?

I rather spend my time playing World of Warcraft instead.. I just pray to God that they don't make another reality based TV video game.

If there is pvp, do we get to slap around the cast?

I'D PAY FOR THAT

These companies are so out of touch. They see the success of certain MMORPG's and have to try to get a piece of the pie. Unfortunately, they are targeting the wrong audiences with a crappy product.

This MMORPG phase is just a temporary fad that will evolve into something entirely new and refreshing. The company that gets on the ground floor of that next evolution will be the big winner, not the imitators.

Innovation is much more profitable than imitation.

This is got to be an all time record low for the game industry. I don't have anything nice to say about this.
But I am going to go home tonight, curl up in a fetal position, clutch a pillow and cry myself to sleep.

But what about my date for prom...

-Bet :)

"Dead Rising: Laguna Beach."

God thats funny Diamond.

Well, they could make millions if they make a game using anyone who has ever appeared on MTV, and give the player a machete, a television, and infinite grenades capable of triggering certain sequences of events. I've always wanted to blow up whoever appears on that show where they basically break into people's houses.

I read the whole "Piracy is killing PC Gaming" post and then I see this. Hurray for juxtapositioning.

i wanna be stephen

I'd like to make a joke or snarky remark, but I just can't stop staring at that girl's legs. I thought they stopped making those kinda gams in the seventies.

To reiterate: Show sucks, girls has nice legs. Let's move on.

#19..yeah..too bad what the fuck do they have to do with each other?

Stop covering for the fact you're a thief.

I think I should punch you and take your money, since you once said something stupid it gives me the right forever, by that logic.

"6. Kristen is hot, that's all i have to offer to this discussion.

is this "Kristen" the one in the picture? cause she looks sorta like someone dressed up a wine cask then slapped on some slightly-better-than-average legs and a woefully passe hairdo in order to pass her off to the public as someone we should pretend is hot. i almost afraid to peep her grill. who knows what sort of hideous experimentation one might find there.

This game will be awesome. Sims + Extreme Beach Volleyball, anyone? :)

Looks like X23's jealous. I'd hit it.
