Guest Marney1 Report post Posted August 24, 2011 Check It Out: The Great Gatsby... The Game? The Great Gatsby is considered among many to be the great American novel. In other, occasionally intersecting circles, the NES is considered by nostalgists to be the seminal video game console. So it was merely a matter of time before someone breathed life into The Great Gatsby as a NES-styled platformer. Charlie Hoey and Pete Smith whipped up this four level, 8-bit style Flash version of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic novel. Replete with the disembodied eyes of Dr. T. J. Eckleburg, evil crabs, flappers and of course ghosts — because what platformer is complete without ghosts? As fans of literature and games we had to shoutout this gem. The unanswered question here: is this game a godsend to high school teachers trying to teach The Great Gatsby to uninterested students? Or the bane of their existence, as students erroneously await the point in the book when Nick has to fight devilish crabs? Play The Great Gatsby here. Why is this on the Rockstar Newswire? I can't figure it out, maybe there's nothing to figure out, maybe I'm missing the point entirely...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TreeFitty 2631 Report post Posted August 25, 2011 Maybe R* will make a better game of the book? o_O Actually that would be more along Team Bondi's lines at this point (with L.A. Noire). They'll just need to step back in time a little further and switch coasts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skribble 32 Report post Posted September 6, 2011 Long island, new York (liberty) 1920's maybe hints at absolutely nothing because rockstar are fans of fucking with us. It is also worth mentioning that team bondi has gone under administration. I know two people who worked there have been let go. (according to them rockstar didn't like the whole team anyway and the team felt the same way about rockstar.) there were a lot of things the team wanted the game to be and rockstar being the producer took a bit too much creative control and the Australian team resented them for that. Wether or not the company can pull through the administration remains to be seen, but Australian support towards video game development is piss poor. There's no industry here, not for potential employees or potential companies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not defending jail breakers because I don't personally do it but I think there see benefits other than free games. Maybe a jailbkreaker could clue us in. As for supporting developers, it's funny, before my iPhone I always ripped pc games. I've never even considered not buying the apps. At a few dollars a pop it's something I can feel good about supporting. And they are usually more than worth the few dollars they cost. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Mad Dooby 64 Report post Posted September 11, 2011 Jailbreaking isnt all about ripping people off for there apps. In the jailbreak world there are actually apps that aren't avalable on the appstore, also, you can change themes, icons, layouts, keyboards, what the buttons do when you press them, different locking methods, and shit loads of others. I jailbreak my ipod because of all the upgrades you can make to it that make it cooler and possibly work better Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TreeFitty 2631 Report post Posted September 11, 2011 ^That's pretty much what I remember about jailbreaking Apple products. People were pissed at all the limitations so they jailbroke them to make them better, not just get free things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
