Twilight MMO to stop female interest in reality, threaten human race [Update]

Hold on to your coffin! A game based on the book (and now film) series Twilight is currently in development. Threatening to keep women across the world glued to their computer for eternity, details on the game are slim. According to the official Twilight: The Video Game website, the title is an MMO-style "interactive experience" with the ability to relive key moments from the books Twilight, New Moon and Midnight Sun.
What we do know is that the Twilight video game will allow players to jump into the free-roaming world as human, vampire or werewolf (why would anyone pick human?), encounter characters from the franchise, and decorate a home with collectible knickknacks and tchotchkes (à la The Sims, but with less direct sunlight). Should be interesting if you're a fan of the novels, but prepare to be hated by Harry Potter fans everywhere who are still waiting for an MMO to call their own.

Oh great, Humanity will be extinct within a generation. Thousands of years from now an alien explorer ship will find the remains of human civilization, then they will find a computer with this game, and the cycle of death will begin anew.

All this has happened before, and all this will happen again.

Game Over Man! Game Over! Time to jump in an old Winnebago and drive as far west as possible while blasting "It's the End of the World". To the fallout shelters!

Please, God, don't let my wife read Joystiq today and learn of this.
NaeemTHM @ Jul 29th 2009 11:06AM
My lady was a huge fan of the Twilight series until I introduced her to some real vampire stories. After she read The Vampire Lestat, she forgot all about Twilight.
Van Faulk @ Jul 29th 2009 11:10AM
And what did you introduce her to to help her forget about lestat?

my wife is more of a Underworld vampires fan....
BlaqueBeird @ Jul 29th 2009 11:56AM
Nothing beats the Vampire: The Masquerade world.
WiredKnight @ Jul 29th 2009 12:06PM
I'm afraid I have some bad news for you guys...
Mopo @ Jul 29th 2009 1:39PM
It probably helps that your wife is not between the age of 12 to 17.
BigD145 @ Jul 29th 2009 11:01AM
Harry Potter fans are waiting? Don't they have a spell or potion that can give them the same experience?
Mighty Ponygirl @ Jul 29th 2009 11:02AM
Ah dammit, we just figured out how to clone sperm so that all the men who spend 18 hours a day playing their XBoxes won't contribute to the downfall of the human race, and now this game appears. So now with both genders glued to their videogames all hours a day, we have no hope at all. Perhaps NOW we will make real efforts toward those artificial wombs. And nanny-bots. And self-cooking kitchens.
... urg.... My ovaries! They are compelling me to play it! I don't even like Twilight! It's a pile of sexist crap! But ... Gender is Destiny! !!! ! Right, Joystiq?

Fight it! Lead the resistance!
WiredKnight @ Jul 29th 2009 12:07PM
Hm. Never cooked a kitchen before.

That's great, it starts with an earthquake, birds and snakes,
an aeroplane - Lenny Bruce is not afraid.
Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn,
world serves its own needs, dummy serve your own needs.
Feed it off an aux speak,, grunt, no, strength,
The ladder starts to clatter with fear fight down height.
Wire in a fire, representing seven games, a government for hire and a combat site.
Left of west and coming in a hurry with the furies breathing down your neck.
Team by team reporters baffled, trumped, tethered cropped.
Look at that low playing!
Fine, then.
Uh oh, overflow, population, common food, but it'll do.
Save yourself, serve yourself. World serves its own needs, listen to your heart bleed dummy with the rapture and the revered and the right - right.
You vitriolic, patriotic, slam, fight, bright light, feeling pretty psyched.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.
Should I continue?
Michael T @ Jul 29th 2009 3:19PM
No.
No, you shouldn't.
Benjamin Heckendorn @ Jul 29th 2009 11:06AM
Will it be as boring and uneventful as the movie?
Rob @ Jul 29th 2009 11:10AM
You bet your ass it will be!
thejay2012 @ Jul 29th 2009 2:24PM
And twice the "spider monkey" scenes.

*Puts on sunglasses*
Looks like I'll have the chance to pay a little visit to Mr. Cullen...
Who wants to come with?
WINterfang @ Jul 29th 2009 11:22AM
Meh you will probably fall in love with a Vampire anyway.
MechaGamerX @ Jul 29th 2009 11:41AM
I know I face that possibility,
And if I happen to fall into that fate....Don't hesitate to finish me off. It would be for the better.
Spike @ Jul 29th 2009 11:50AM
don't you know, this is twilight, none of that would harm him
WiredKnight @ Jul 29th 2009 12:11PM
You forgot the part where you go
YEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
@spike
Don't you love how they can change what it means to be a vampire, just because?
pquarme @ Jul 29th 2009 11:09AM
the idea of video games is really changing cant wait to see what this loooks like
Rob @ Jul 29th 2009 11:09AM
Out of curiosity, where does this fit into the Apocalypse?
Avatar (Steam: tmawds) @ Jul 29th 2009 11:59AM
I'm pretty sure the next step is a third of the Eath's population dying.
Storm Eagle::The Blood Edge @ Jul 29th 2009 12:02PM
The beginning, middle and end.

A Harry Potter MMO would be great if it followed the books and was handled by a competent dev team.
