Funko Fusion New Story Trailer Revealed, Out On Switch This November

I've gotta give the developers props. This is a video game.

Meet Eddy, 23 years old
Fed up with life and the way things are going.
He decides to star in a rubbish video game,
And suddenly his conscience disappears

I can't wait to NOT buy this cringefest.

60 characters. [shakes head] Jesus.

How many Pops are out there? They haven't just reached saturation point, they've lapped it, pissed rings round it, and made it totally irrelevant.

60 ain't gonna cut it. The chances of them including any of the handful I've got (the Vox Machina set was a birthday present, limited edition Widowmaker and Tracer were back when Overwatch fandom wasn't toxic, and who thought Dan Marino & Ryan Tannehill would have one?) are a gnat's pube away from zero.

GAME are more likely to stock the figures from the game than the game itself…

Absolutely not.

OH MY GOD THEY GOT EDDY FOR THIS GAME? DAY ONE. DAY ONE.

Yippee this garbage releases on my birthday...good thing I know what not to buy

this looks like the worst game ever

How is there a freaking Funko Pops game (with no interaction from the actual figures), but still no amiibo game after being on the market for nearly ten years?!

Funko Pops : Keep them in the box. They're much more valuable that way. ... .. Because you sure can't tell what they're supposed to be without the description on the box.

DLC machine. Smart

Plastic garbage. We're gonna have to apologize to the following generations for so many things and most of all infinite landfills full of funko *****.

"When Worlds Collide" . Surprised they didn't use this tag line.

guys come on cant we band together as a community and all agree this is the funniest idea for a game in years it looks so bad you gotta love it a liiiiiittle bit for that

@Coffeemonstah Around 15,000 actually

For anyone actually curious about the game the article neglected to inform you that it's not delayed until November on PS5, Xbox X/X or PC, where it still releases in September, only on PS4 and Switch, so you can read all about it for 2 months before you would actually be able to spend any of your own money on it.

An obvious must-play. With my powers combined, I declare this the Game of Year 2099

@SillyG actually there are sort of 3 amiibo games. Two for the Wii U, and one for the 3ds, which is shown here https://www.nintendolife.com/reviews/3ds-eshop/mini_mario_and_friends_amiibo_challenge
That same game is on the Wii U, and the other Wii U one was based on Animal Crossing. None of them were particularly memorable though 😆

I'm really glad that Funko Pops exist, because if someone owns them, that's a really strong indication I am not going to get on with that person

They have to still sell Funko Pops and give them meaning somehow

Wow, there are a lot of people opposed to this game…

Not trying to be rude, but I am having a hard time figuring out how somebody thought this was a good concept for a game. I mean the crossover aspect I suppose because Funko draws from an ungodly amount of franchises, but like a game based on Funkos in general? Do they expect it to sell? Does 10:10 games just really, really like Funkos? I honestly want to see like a dev interview with these guys just to see how the concept originated. Even if it is as simple as "we thought it would sell well", I just have to know

I'm sure there really is someone out there who will, for whatever reason, utterly adore this game. And that's great.

But man....... this depresses me.

@BHPM Most likely it's a project that just keeps the lights on for them, which I imagine means they're fine with it even if they don't love it. It's only Universal Studios IP/related films here, so I imagine this was floated by Funko or Universal execs.

Y'know that old Ghostbusters quote from Winston? "If there's a steady paycheck in it, I'll believe anything you say." Similar idea.

@Elbow Right, that would make sense. See this is one of those situations where I'm torn, because I'd love to see the game do well so that these guys can as you said keep the lights on, but I also don't want to see it do tooooo well as let's be honest most people really don't want to see more stuff like this "encouraged" haha

@Jayenkai 🤣I honestly couldn't tell who the vast majority of the figures were supposed to represent because they look so amazingly hideous

I thought the name of the 'Chucky' franchise was actually Child's Play, but then who am I to argue with the wisdom of the soulless corporate thinkvat that spent all of five minutes putting the wheels of this trainwreck-to-be in motion?

With the amount of shovelware landing on platforms all the time, the fuss over this game in particular is comical. If it's not for you, say you're not interested and move along.

What's sad isn't that there will be an audience who loves this game; it's that there's a lot of whining and throwing out of dramatic and exaggerated comments. To what end?

Just because a game is advertised doesn't mean it's being advertised to YOU. Keep playing what you're actually interested in and stop wasting time reminding people at every opportunity how much of an edgelord you are by not prescribing to the Funko craze. Is that so hard? 🤷🏽‍♂️

@anubisvel I think you are not reading the subtext here.

Funko Pops represent and in many ways epitomise a far greater issue that has grown in our society. They are the corporate destruction of art, turning it into a grey amorphous blob of pop culture they can rinse for money with low cost, low quality, low effort and low risk.

And not to mention the horrendous environmental damage Funko Pops have done with their landfills.

Funko Pops are a cancer on art and people have a right and duty to speak out against them. I’m sick of the current corporate control over media. People talk about how there aren’t any new ideas but that’s not remotely true they just can’t get funded because it’s less a risk to fund tat like this with nostalgia but no respect for the original creations from way back.

@Ogbert How do you define “art,” and do you believe it’s possible for something popular and mass-produced to still have artistic value?

@anubisvel of course something can be art and have mass appeal and be mass produced. The film Alien is art, it is popular and there are thousands of copies of it.

Art is notorious hard to define, and I see the devil’s advocate you are attempting to play. Whilst it can be difficult to say what IS art it is often extremely easy to see what ISN’T. A Funko Pop is a cheap figurine designed to have mass appeal in it’s generic nature, exploiting nostalgia and generally betting quite safely on a known successful intellectual property. It’s not trying to say anything or do anything different. It’s created with a sole corporate purpose to generate money for shareholders and is therefore quantifiably not art. To even hint that a Funko Pop of Ellen Ripley might be it’s own form of art alongside the original film Alien, shows an embarrassing lack of media literacy.

@PlushiePlushie that’s all I could think when I read “meet Eddy” 😂😂😂
