50 cent game Bulletproof : 50 cent interview about the video game
CVG has an exclusive interview with 50 cent talking about his game called Bulletproof:
"We are in town, courtesy of Vivendi Universal Games, to interview the man who is currently the world's most successful recording artist, 50 Cent. Pitching up at the large but somewhat moth-eaten Grand Hyatt in the centre of this sleepy resort town, where 50 Cent and his G-Unit cohorts are staying in preparation for playing an Anger Management Tour gig with Eminem and his posse, uncertainty is in the air. Will Fiddy (as he is universally known) and his gang live up to their fearsome gangsta reputation? Will we get more than five minutes with the man himself? Will we even be able to understand what he is saying?"
A little bit about the 50 cent video game Bulletproof:
50 Cent: Bulletproof is somewhat shrouded in mystery, so who better to tell us about it than the eponymous hero himself? In person, although seriously muscle-bound, 50 Cent is softly spoken, articulate and considered - surprisingly, he radiates an air of calmness and authority. He explains how 50 Cent: Bulletproof came about: "All of my business ideas come from my actual lifestyle. While we're on the road, I see how much [the G-Unit] utilise the videogames systems as a form of entertainment. You know, they'll turn off the satellite television to play videogames for hours and hours at a time. So I was like: I want to be able to entertain on that format. So I approached Jimmy [Iovine, head of Interscope] and we went to Vivendi Universal and got the ball rolling. And I'm excited because it has the highest technology and I'm sure, if not the best videogame, it will be one of the best videogames you'll see this year."
Fiddy points out that the game crosses over with the film Get Rich Or Die Tryin': "I used the writer from the film, Terry Winter, because I spent over three months with him, giving him information that allowed him to compile the actual screenplay. He took that information and created a theme and the dialogue for the film." Essentially, 50 Cent: Bulletproof is a fictional account of what may have happened in 50 Cent's life if he hadn't achieved success as a hip-hop artist. It starts with Fiddy getting shot, and develops into a third-person action-adventure game in which Fiddy and his gang - including the G-Unit members Tony Yayo, Lloyd Banks and Young Buck, plus Eminem and Dr Dre - exact revenge on the shooter or shooters.
50 Cent: Bulletproof is noticeably violent - is Fiddy worried about the accusations of glorifying violence that will be flung his way when it launches? "You know what? It's no more violent than anything that we show in an action film. They said I glorified violence, but I don't glorify violence, I acknowledge it. You know, because it's going on in the environment that I come from." Tony Yayo - whose new album Thoughts of a Predicate Felon is about to drop, also has plenty to say on the matter: "The videogame is crazy. I think Banks is picking locks, Buck is the fastest runner, Fiddy's kicking everyone's ass - it comes out in November. It's mature, for the mature crowd only. It's not really for little kids. Hopefully they won't steal it from their moms and dads, brothers and stuff like that."
