What's it like making the follow up for million-selling, universally-panned 50 Cent: Bulletproof? Total freedom? Or is Fiddy running the show? ProllySays game director Julian Widdows at UK dev Swordfish Studios:
We were very much given control of the core experience, what we wanted to create with a 50 Cent game. He took a look at it and he was like, 'You know, it looks really cool, I'd like something a little bit more.' The guy's a gamer, which in and of itself is actually an advantage because he came in with a very honest, very open opinion - 'As a gamer, I want more than just a core experience'.
He's a gamer, just not a "crazy game head," m'kay?

Can't wait, for this game to drop in the $0.99 cent bin.
As a gamer I want a good game. Seems like we can;t get what we all want Fiddy.
"You know, it looks really cool, I'd like something a little bit more."
These programmers are going to learn how to work with some very vague goals.
Incoming ignorant/racist comments...
@mowh: No want that. That = BanHamma'
Hey didn't he just say he wasn't a gamer? That he only played with his son and got his ass handed to him?
@Cchrist: Shit sorry i didn't read the last sentance...
@mowh: dont worry...the explosive pinguin is always waching
@ThatsMrOffDutyNinja: Don't you mean "$0.50 cent bin?"
/sorry
//stop, banhammer time
///it's been fun
i read to story plot and laughed so hard in amusement and amazement that i defintly will be checking it out
Wow he sure gave them some very helpful input/advice. He's really creative with what he wants for the game. **immense sarcasm**
Wait... who?
Well, Fitty's always been an honest (if slightly dumb) guy. I aspect the same from the game (with out the honesty).
As a gamer, I don't want 50 Cent in my games.
I believe the "crazy game head" quote more. This is just something fabricated so the PR people can spin 50's involvement in a positive way.
@mrplow8: Stop buying his game over and over and over again then!
@Voteforme2020: His success as an artist and an entrepreneur show how vastly dumb he is.
I want to see video of Fiddy saying 'As a gamer, I want more than just a core experience'.
Never happened. I actually play video games,and I'm not sure what the hell it means,so I doubt Fiddy (Who doesn't even like video games according to the earlier article) would. Noone would ever be playing like Soul Calibur IV or something and pull off a huge combo and be like "Holy shit,dude,I'm enjoying this core experience!!!"
@kidnicky: "Noone would ever be playing like Soul Calibur IV or something and pull a huge combo and be like "Holy shit,dude,I'm enjoying this core experience!!!"
I lol'd, no seriously I really did.
@Voteforme2020: Trust me, hes alot smarter than you would think. I know his rapping about guns, whores, and money all the time, mixed with you probably not liking most rap in the first place makes it easy to label him as "dumb", just remember that he is a multi-million dollar entrepreneur.
@Cchrist:
his street cred would take a beating if he admitted to playing games instead of busting caps yo.
Just another reason to wish he hadn't survived that shooting
@Mortos: wow, that's morose. it is what it is i suppose.
bet you'd dive in head first if you were given the op to have a game built off of you...
Could they have picked a worse picture?
He looks like a stupid, stupid man.
@bighit006:
Yo dawg, G's play video games too!
At least, when his music was playing in da clubs, I was dating hot party girls, so I liked .50 tunes back then. I wish I haven't traded that lifestyle for being a gamer.. ah nostalgia
@artistpavel: Trust me even if you went back to that lifestyle you wouldn't find it. Now it's all about getting people's IQs down while hearing nonsensical phrases like "Superman that hoe!" and dancing like clowns. Even talented rappers like 50 have to spew shit now because that's what sells on iTunes.
@R3load: @slomo788:
I'm sorry.. being rich =/= smart. He has a corporation behind him that made him rich. He's not any smarter (or dumber) than the common man. Difference is that he has an exploitable talent.
@R3load: Point being? Even before Britney Spears went bat-shit crazy, she had numerous books, fragrance lines, dolls, games, DVD's and music based on her, but she still sounds like an ignorant airhead in interviews. Do we even have to mention George W.Bush? This guy is the president of the United States and an owner of a baseball team, yet his frequent butchery of the English language helped coin the phrase 'bushism'.
Just because 50 cent can sell albums and is being thrown million dollar deals left and right, doesn't make him an overnight genius. He's a good hustler that can sell his mediocre music to a gullible audience. That is all. Even though I don't like 50 cents music, I refuse to refrain from calling him a fool when he continuously projects himself as one on stage and off.
Bill Gates is a smart entrepreneur. This guy, like Bush and Britney, is a dumb entrepreneur with smart people around him who know how to market him and his endeavors.
@R3load: Oh, and just a fun bit of trivia: I actually like rapping and listening to rap. Granted, I'm not as talented as .50, but I'm decent.
@Cchrist:
That won't be hard, since I've never bought one of his games even once. So I guess I'll just keep doing that.
@R3load:
I don't think he's stupid because of his rapping. You've obviously never heard this guy talk. He's borderline retarded.
50$ says the sequel reviews better than the original
Wait? Didnt you guys have some report saying that he WASNT a real gamer, but his son was. WTH?
I can't trust T.V. or Internet anymore....
Fiddy, the reason why apocalypse is impending.
Stop giving this guy your money!. Do you like to see your hard earned money being thrown out the window?
@Smooty: Yeah I thought i could make that joke but then I took a second and I thought it was just as bad when I read it from you ^_^ I kid, I kid.
@KeroseneClimax: What was this Brittney game you speak of? I need to play it NOW.
@ThatsMrOffDutyNinja:
Britney's Dance Beat for PS2. How the FVCK do I know that?
Should have taken one of those bullit's to the bawls and the doctors would have realized he don't have any, or he would have a squeaky voice too and could sign with the guys who do the chipmunk albums..gee u nut.
He sound like he got down syndrome, his voice is like that William Hung guy. Gangsta died with Tupac and Eazy E. It's hard out here for you wanna be pimp, tryin' to get all the money has a whole lot a unit members jumpin' ship. there hasen't been any breakout artists at all in New Yawk, they should be makin' Paul Wall or Lil' Flip games. All the noise is coming out the south. "Smoke some bitch" long live Pimp C.
I hate it when people say "in and of itself"...
Is anyone really looking forward to this game? Because I for hell am not...
Whoa... "I am what I am." That's deep!
What's next?! "You ain't hot cuz you not?!"
Wait, "I am what I am" and no one makes a Popeye joke? Big fail people.
@slomo788: "His success as an artist and an entrepreneur show how vastly dumb his fan are."
Fix'd.
Youknow what I want in this game?
Freestyle time.
Like bullet time, but you kills enemies with horrible lyrics and terrible rhyme.
It will have Parappa the Rapper style controls.
@Lokno: The iron in his bling is not 10 times its value?
@ThatsMrOffDutyNinja: What? You mean to tell me you've never played the "greatest" game ever made? Surely you've heard of Britney's Dance Beat. All the cool kids were playing it back in the day.
As a gamer, I have to say I have no idea what is meant by "core experience". Sounds like marketing jargon to me. Could anyone please educate me as to what is meant here? I need to know, otherwise I wouldn't be able to answer if anyone asked me if I wanted more than that. Or not. And that would, needless to say, be terrible.
The dude got shot. That is all.
Not until I heard the story line was I looking forward to this game.
Isn't "I am what I am" popeyes motto?
@KeroseneClimax:
No, the man is smart. He puts on this act because it makes all the gangbangers latch on to him, but really, he knows how to market himself. He's BUILT himself up this way for sales. And you know he made 400 million bucks on the Vitamin Water buyout? Either he's smart enough to get a REALLY good financial advisor, or he knows his shit. Because 400 mil is 400 mil.
@Deekman: I am what I am, and that's all I am!!
