Billy hatcher and the Giant Egg is already getting critized (all read, very funny!!_

[The Gunslinger]

Serious injustice or harmless exposure? The debate over whether the use of eggs in SEGA's upcoming GameCube game "Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg" is exploitative and offensive continues....

People for the Ethical Treatment of Eggs (P.E.T.E.) leads the charge in the latest protest activity.
:end copy:

As you can see, there are some very ridiculous (sp) people out there. Come on!!! P.E.T.E.!!!!????!!!!! How stupid. But......just goes to show you a GC exclusive (i think) game can rouse up some controversy, just like GTA did. ha ha.

[dn03]

hope the game doesn't have to get changed

[darkmagic]

Nah, both Sega and Nintendo will laugh at this.

[dn03]

why are they getting mad he's trying to protect an egg not hurt it

[Kliq]

... where's the link? Link please :)

[OnBake Platinum]

Ahahahahaha!

[Kenshin2]

Lol,people are dumb. Do they expect kids to play this game and think "hey! ill go get an egg and roll it around!" wtf is wrong with people?

[PhixedDice]

Even though I have no desire to play the game, or even care about it...

This is pretty funny, in a stupid kind of way.

[The Gunslinger]

what it is, is ironic. A (more than likely) E rated video game for the GC, and just for the GC and become a contraversy (sp) just like a M game just for the PS2 did (GTA/VC). An egg...eh.....*wonders what would happen if rolled down a hill, while dressed in a chicken suit*

[the poe collector]

haha I will buy this game cause of the insane controversy, because controversy around something, especially like this, causes more interest...or something

[smellslikenintendospirit]

People for the Ethical Treatment of Eggs?

[Prince]

There is no controversy. Sega made that up themselves as a PR boost. Heres the full press release thingy:

wasn't there also a thing about Maio "hurting" turtles back in the 80's?

either way, i find it odd that Sega woud release that as a PR boost...

[The Dude]

I never did care for Billy Hatcher; now after i saw that i want it sooooooooo bad

[DLX]

dn03..i simply cannot put into words how much I Love your sig.

[disrupter006]

i played this cuss i bought the demo disc and i didnt find it as fun as everyone seems to b bragging it up to b :S
maybe i missed something but where is the fun in finding food in boxes and rolling an egg (thats all the farther i could handle in playing the demo

[TheGreenElf]

Thats just...I d/k, but people REALLY need something better to do than this.

[Dwhitten]

*makes an omelet*

[Nights]

Demo

VIEWTIFUL JOe

sorry side tracked

but if the demo is finished... the graphics need workd, way to many glitches, and it needs to speed up..

it's the first level though basically a totorial

the movies looked awesome of later parts of the game

[KamiKaZe]

i don't really know anything about the billy hatcher game. i'll just stick w/ my man, sonic

[Terranigma Freak]

OMFG!!!! The game will end up with a M rating!!!! Go Sega and Nintendo!!! Egg abuse all the way!!!

[Shadow_Black]

i cant believe they are doing that. i bet that after they decided to go against sega, they all went out to breakfast and ordered scrambled eggs.

[downtime19]

they should make the objective of the game to get the egg to the frying pan at the end of the level, then ask "Scrambled, Sunny Side Up, Overeasy, or Fried?"

[Kliq]

For thsoe who still don't know

THE EGG THING IS JUST A PROMOTION METHOD FROM SEGA

..yea.

[downtime19]
