Homer Simpson - Image 1The Simpsons (Sony PlayStation 3, Microsoft Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii, Sony PSP, and the Nintendo DS) video game has been out for weeks now and it's been giving quite a kick to series fans and gamers alike. Even if this Electronic Arts title has been out for a bit now, the festivities haven't stopped yet as footages of The Simpsons game launch party have surfaced. This time, we're seeing The Simpsons creator Matt Groening talking about the game and how he was able to influence it.

The Simpsons Game - Image 1The last time we heard about the highly-anticipated multiplatform title of EA's The Simpsons, we found out that most of the levels are going to be parodies of contemporary video game classics (i.e. God of Wharf, Shadow of the Colossal Donut, Medal of Homer).

Now, we've uncovered some new info about the game concerning the final boss - and no, it's not the usual ones we'd expect, like Mr. Burns or Sideshow Bob. Rather, it's the boss that would pretty much leave the fourth wall broken into tiny bite-sized pieces, The Simpsons">Matt Groening himself.

Yep, it's the creator of The Simpsons who'll be left standing between you and the Game Cleared screen after all is said and done - which makes for a very interesting final boss fight indeed. If you're curious as to just what the mind behind Springfield's inhabitants think about this development, this is what he has to say:


Well the video game is mainly written by great writers, Matt Selman and Matt Warburton - I mean, you can just tell. Great, right? They did a send-up of video games. It's a video game about video games; and I'm in the video game. I'm a boss that you have to fight at the end of the game. It was really fun recording a million ways of dying, going 'UGGH, ARGGH, EUURGH!'


Certainly very creative updates indeed. We can only wonder what else would be revealed during the weeks to come. Updates as we get them!

Last time we saw the interview with Matt Groening and the rest of "The Simpsons" crew. This time, we'll see a developer walkthrough straight from Scot Amos, executive producer for The Simpsons game.

Amos gives a walkthrough on the first episode of The Simpsons game from Electronic Arts featuring Homer's and Bart's powers. Homer's competing in a food eating contest and he gets to turn into a rolling ball that can pretty much trample anything. We also see Bart as Bartman, fighting against Willie. The multiplatform video game port of The Simpsons looks pretty good, seamlessly turning the show we love and translating it into gameplay.

Anyway, we'll stop babbling so you can check out the two-part developer walkthrough. The Simpsons video game will be released on the PlayStation 3, Xbox360, Wii, PSP, and the Nintendo DS this fall. Enjoy the videos!



Part two of the developer walkthrough comes right after the jump!
