Angry Birds sequel will reveal pigs' point of view
Just when you thought that the frenzy over the popular iOS game Angry Birds had finally reached its peak, now comes word from the Virtual Goods Summit that the game's publisher plans on turning the franchise into an empire.
Rovio CEO Peter Vesterbacka dropped the eggs spilled the beans yesterday when he mentioned that the game is going to be available on all major gaming platforms soon, not just on mobile devices. But the comment that got the most attention was that the Angry Birds sequel is in development and it won't focus solely on the irate avians.
No, the sequel story line will be told from the point of view of the pigs, who have been the victims of the vicious attacks by the birds in Part One of this tale. Vesterbacka also confirmed that a movie and TV show are apparently in the works, and that most of Rovio's investment at the present time is going into a Facebook game. It won't be Angry Birds, but will take place in the same world as the ultra-popular game.
Rovio is also working on a multiplayer version of Angry Birds, all part of Vesterbacka's plans for "Angry Birds to be bigger than Tetris."

Of course you are well aware it's not just an iOS game, but also widely distributed on Android, Symbian, Palm's webOS, and Nokia's N900 as well. But I guess this is an Apple blog . . .

Boy, for a project they didn't pay much attention to it sure seems to be a real hit! I can't wait.

I've come to learn that just because I don't think like everyone else doesn't mean everyone else doesn't think like everyone else. The first time I saw a Fart App I thought it was stupid. The twentieth Fart App I saw in the best sellers list made me realize I was the stupid one. I could have made some serious Fart App money.

November 17 2010 at 3:47 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyIt always kind of bothered me how the Angry Birds seemed a lot like kamikaze pilots or suicide bombers. I mean, I sympathize with their goal, but I don't condone their methods! I wonder if that's the angle they'll be going for with the pigs' perspective.
Nah, maybe not. Not a very kid-friendly idea :-P Still, I'm excited for some Angry Birds multiplayer!
Remember, one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter (and another bird's egg liberator). I look forward to more moral confusion after hearing the pigs' side of the story.
