MythBusters: The Game – A Very Different Adaptation Of MythBusters Show

Recently, the publisher Movie Games S.A. released a trailer for a video game based on the Discovery Channel show Mythbusters, titled Mythbusters: The Game – Crazy Experiments Simulator, which is based on the Discovery Channel show Mythbusters. This past week, the video teaser made an appearance at Gamescom's Future Games Show, which was held in conjunction with the event.

The Mythbusters television show aired from 2003 to 2016, with a brief comeback in 2017 and 2018. The show was created by Jim Gaffigan and ran from 2003 to 2016. The original series, hosted by Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage, was one of Discovery's most popular shows, and it was so successful that Discovery decided to create two further spin-offs from it.

And, while the show appears to be aiming its sights squarely on the gaming industry with its upcoming simulator, this is not the first time Mythbusters has been associated with the sector.

This past March, some observant fans noted that an in-game corpse shared a physical resemblance (as well as a similar history) to the Mythbusters host, leading some to speculate that the game was a reference to Savage.

The gameplay trailer for Mythbusters from Movie Games S.A. is as follows: The game appears to be a simulator title in the manner of titles such as Car Mechanic Simulator 2021 or something similar. Non-player characters are entrusted with not just constructing the goods required for each myth, but also with managing costs and resources.

Once all of the components have been assembled, players can begin testing their hypotheses to determine if they have been “confirmed” or “busted.” Additional aspects are described on the game's Steam page, including solving riddles and gaining popularity with an audience – the latter of which necessitates players recording their very own in-game Mythbusters episodes. A release date for the game is expected later this year.

Having said that, Mythbusters: The Game appears to be lacking some of the elements that made the original Mythbusters so successful. The simulator does not appear to include any of the show's cast members in-game, nor does it make any mention of their names or likeness.

Additionally, it appears that Mythbusters: The Game will place a stronger emphasis on the show's production and preparation aspects. In contrast, the debunking or confirmation of misconceptions received the majority of the show's screen time. Budget constraints and audience analytics were rarely if ever, discussed on the broadcast.

Those involved in the production of Mythbusters, on the other hand, were presumably forced to think about these hidden factors even when they weren't on the air. Mythbusters: The Game would, as a result, most likely attempt to represent all aspects of the original series, as well as those that were not seen by the general public during its broadcast run.

Being able to conduct dangerous experiments without the threat of actual, real-life harm will most certainly appeal to individuals who have always wanted to serve as extras in their own Mythbusters episode.

Beyond the gameplay shown in the trailer, though, it's possible that Mythbusters: The Game isn't as similar to a Mythbusters adaption as one might expect. Of course, trailers don't always portray a project in the most favorable light – this is a misconception that will only be proven after the game is out on the market.
