Saminthehat Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 My friends couldn't stop laughing when I told them I was going to buy 'Excitetruck'. Apparently the name is stupid and sounds like one of those kids rides in malls. What do you think? I mean 'Wii' and 'Xbox' grew on us didn't they?

Shorty Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 I don't like the name either really didn't really need its own thread to discuss but "Excitebike" was ok, so they're just trying to continue that. Maybe they should've separated it though, since they're not the same quality of game at all.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darksnowman Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Agreed, its a weird name alrighty. But you have to remember that its an offshoot/ continuation of the Excitebike series, which makes it cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowV7 Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Well I didn't really think this would need a seperate thread and that it had a weird name. Excitebike Excitetruck What's next? Excitelorry. Awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fierce_LiNk Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 How do you pronounce Excite Truck? I pronounce it EX-Site-a-Truck But I think it's pronounced Ex-Site-Truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellfire Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 I pronounce it EX-Site-a-Truck *Walks aways slowly* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daft Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 How do you pronounce Excite Truck? I pronounce it EX-Site-a-Truck But I think it's pronounced Ex-Site-Truck. Same!: peace: I think it should be called "Excita Truck"!! It's just easier to say! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaggle64 Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 In one level (and only level disppointingly) there's a section of track littered with barrles which explode as you drive by them. Add to this the screaming sirens registering by hitting a power up which allows you to obliterate rival trucks as you sail gracefully through the upper atmosphere due to the sudden and very rapid formation of a full mountain under your wheels as a medly of Queen hits screams at you from your SD card, "Excitetruck" seems all too apropriate. Well I didn't really think this would need a seperate thread and that it had a weird name. Excitebike Excitetruck What's next? Excitelorry. Awesome have you ever considered a career in game design?

Retro_Link Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 *Walks aways slowly* I think it's a bit of a rubbish name! I understand the reason for it, but it just doesn't flow! Excitebike did and sounds cool, Excite Truck just doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daft Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Personally I would have called it UbersupermegaultrafastTruck! Now THAT, is a cool name! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomic Boo Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Personally I would have called it UbersupermegaultrafastTruck!Now THAT, is a cool name! dont be daft its not a great name, and its obviously an N game because you have to earn stars and rankings are S for super etc. Excite Bus sounds good, and @ shadow, lorry sounds cool as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conzer16 Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 How do you pronounce Excite Truck? I pronounce it EX-Site-a-Truck But I think it's pronounced Ex-Site-Truck. Thats exactly how I pronounce it too!! Same for Exitebike - EX-site-a-bike. I always assumed I was wrong pronouncing that way but now that I see someone else doing the same I feel good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zechs Merquise Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 I think it's a rubbish name too, it doesn't retain the same sound as Excitebike, it just sounds weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatnickc Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 I think it's not the best name they could have chosen, but it's not as bad as it could have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
