Someone should make a new video game thread because the new Spider-Man game they announced looks super dope. http://www.polygon.com/e3/2016/6/13/11926868/spider-man-insomniac-ps4-playstation-4-sony-marvel-exclusive

yea that's easily one of the fugliest spider-man costumes I've seen in a while. Still I don't give a poo poo if the game's good and that looks slick. I'm sure like every other super hero game ever there'll be at least a good handful of alternate costumes to unlock, my dislike of that costume will probably last for about two levels.

Escobarbarian posted:White spider is an incredibly poor decision but it would be ok if they changed that Yea I don't dig the general style but you can fix most of it by just making the spider black, then it goes from 'man that's one ugly spider-man' to 'eh whatever'. Also yea, I'm not breaking down the door to throw my money at a preorder based on one trailer but of all the people to get Spider-Man right I'd trust the Sunset Overdrive people the most right now.

There was also the announcement of another Rocksteady Batman game. Since it is a first person VR game it's not supposed to have any combat and instead is about Batman going to Arkham to solve a mystery.

They should include the first person sections from the start and end of AK. I'm sure it'll be a 20minute experience rather than a game. Rocksteady should have better things to do. Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 19:09 on Jun 14, 2016 |

They should make a new Batman game except with not-poo poo combat and a new developer, and they should use the whole Nemesis system from Shadow of Mordor via copying the Night of the Owls storyline (so instead you're taking on Talons who can't die and regenerate, justifying why they constantly come back and develop immunities to previous tactics you used when defeating them). You're welcome WB games.

Batman's combat system was so good that basically every third person action game since it came out has ripped it off wholesale, so I'm afraid I'm gonna have to ask you to retract that.

Out of everything to criticize about the Rocksteady Batman games, you picked the combat?

I, too, think playing Simon Says is "good combat". The Batman games had really visceral combat that sort of replicated how Batman would approach it - assessing threats to the point that he'd view them all as icons which he would then effortlessly dispatch - but it wasn't good. It just really worked for Batman, and only Batman, to sort of replicate how this genius detective would approach fighting enemies. The best combat was, as with all Batman stuff, in the preparation. Scoping out all the enemies, tagging them, and then taking them all down one by one, as criminals got increasingly freaked out and you ziplined and glided from gargoyle to gargoyle, always in the shadows, spreading fear and terror. The combat itself was icon matching, and simplistically dull. Especially after three games of it and countless ripoffs. Travis343 posted:Out of everything to criticize about the Rocksteady Batman games, you picked the combat? The combat was the by-far weakest portion of Asylum, the by-far best Batman game. The gliding/trapping/tagging/stealth mechanics were all far more fun and interesting gameplay then any time you got into combat, since it was very, very easy to the point of being lifelessly dull.

I liked how Asylum only had 3 locations you went to over and over. Metroidvanias should have died with 2D. Toxx played on easy mode. Sad. Aphrodite fucked around with this message at 22:34 on Jun 14, 2016 |

You should play it on Hard where all the icons are hidden if you find them too hand-holdy.

So for clarity, they should only copy the Mordor nemesis thing and nothing else, particularly the combat since that was the batman combat system?

Yeah, Mordor was basically slapping a LOTR skin on an Arkham game with one novel mechanic that doesn't cover the fact that there's barely a plot, nor any real way to 'win', because there's always more orcs.

The story was that Mordor was originally supposed to be a Nolan movies Batman tie-in (so the fact that it's actually super hard to actually kill Orcs makes more sense) but he pulled out and they were like, well we need something for this and chose LOTR.

It is kind of weird though that it's been what, two years and nobody has used the Nemesis system for anything else.

That's really weird since people were pretty much over the Nolan Batman when Shadows of Mordor came out. That game has a lot of weird decisions, like making you fight Uruks and Graugs instead of orcs and trolls, having the only dwarf in the game not have a beard and the only elf be a scary ghost, and it feels really incomplete compared to other games with freeflow combat. Once you get to what feels like the halfway point the game completely runs out of content. I'm interested in seeing a sequel, if only to see them make a proper full version of the game. The devs themselves have said they wanted the game to feel like a trilogy contained within one game, where the mechanics evolve with each chapter, but were only able to put in about 2 parts of that plan into the final product. Also it was actually super easy to kill the named uruks until you ran into ones with ridiculous amounts of immunities much later on in the game (I think one of them was immune to swords). site posted:I think this is the first time I've ever seen someone say they don't like the combat in the Batman games. When those horrible Fist of the North Star games came out I couldn't help but think how much better they'd be if they had freeflow combat.
