Origins should have been set further in the past, because ol' Bruce goes through three Robins and a Batgirl in the course of 10 years and that's not a good look.

That's essentially what they did with New 52 Batman in the comics, except it's 4 Robins and a Batgirl in half the time.

And two of the Batgirls who were there before the last Robin were removed and only added in later with new backstories.

That's a whole other thing, I'm complaining about how at the start of New 52 it's established that Batman has been Batmaning for 5 years and he's had 4 Robins, one of which died and was brought back to life and now shoots people.

Would you want their movesets to just be the same as they were in MVC3 (when they were X-23 and Wolverine) or would you want them both to have new, unique ones.

It should be Wolverine (Laura), Weapon X (Logan with the weird head gear) and Old Man Logan (Old Man Logan), similar movesets, but enough difference that it matters which one you pick. There should be a bigger difference than Ken and Ryu have in any game they're both in.

You can level up any and all heroes to level 10 and they give you enough free money to pick whichever one you want to continue to level up. I haven't played enough to figure out how hard it is to get more heroes to higher levels, but it didn't seem super stingy with money (this was on PS4).

By rights, I would've expected every video game platform to basically be Steam at this point, but no one's ready to sink the physical media market just yet.

There's still enough chunks of North America with lovely enough connections that you'd lose a small but still part of the market if you ditch physical entirely. Plus doesn't Canadian internet still have lovely monthly caps on data? The demo for the new Gran Turismo game is 43 gigs.

How in the gently caress is a demo 43 gigs?

Keep in mind, PS4s shipped with a 500 gig hard drive (don't remember if the new upgraded ones have a bigger hard drive or not) and even if you own games on disc it has to install to play it so you don't save storage space, you just don't have to depend on bandwidth or connection stability to re-install games and you can resell them.

That's like 10-12 games max you can switch between without spending an afternoon deleting and installing things, on a console released 4 years ago. And that's not including DLC.

Also, most people who buy a game will never fight the final boss. Looking at my Steam library, I've beaten 11 out of 145. probably half the games I own are just things I bought on a whim because it was less than 5 bucks in a sale, but there's at least 30-40 games on there I've played for more than a few hours and haven't beaten out of boredom or distraction or difficulty. So that's a lot of extra work for content most people will never see, that's part of the reason many games are hella front loaded in the quality of their content.

The go-to number in games development, due to the current prevalence of achievement systems, is 30%. When you release a game, it must be with the knowledge that an average of 70% of your end users will not play it for long enough to complete it, in whatever form that completion takes.

It's actually a little disquieting if you look at similar statistics. A lot of players also mash buttons to get into a game as quickly as possible, so a lot of games get played with the first default customization profile, or whichever main character is the first one you can select. 80% of Mass Effect players use the default white male Shepard.

I know a good chunk will just go with the default no matter what, but I wonder how much that 80% would change by if the default Shepard wasn't a white male. There was a multiplayer survival game that in alpha you could only be a bald white dude, but an update made it so you could also be a bald black dude, but you couldn't actually choose, you were just randomly assigned one or the other and stuck with that forever. A lot of people complained about being forced to be a black guy.

Make a Green Arrow game.

The open world bow genre has had some really good titles, slap some Batman grapple hooking and/or toned down Spidey-swinging in there and ship it.

In the tv show he uses his bow as a grappling hook on the reg. It'd be pretty easy to make an Arkham Asylum/City game, steal some metas from the Flash show, side missions with cameos from the rest of the CW shows.

I'll forgive your Crash Bandicoot trash talking if somehow the new Spider-Man game lets me play Maximum Carnage between levels (it won't, and I blame you).

I think the new gimmick is hiding loading screens behind animations, like why you have to struggle to crawl through a tunnel in Tomb Raider every so often.

So, as a fun comic experience I've been reading through the old solo series of Batman's supporting cast (pre new 52) Cassandra Caine Batgirl, Nightwing, Tim Drake Robin. And I would love a game centered around one of those, you could probably even get Kevin Conroy again as Batman if it was limited to small cameos.

The first Spiderman game on the PS2 would have been the movie tie in for the first movie right? Think that was supposed to be pretty bad.

Marvel Ultimate Alliance is going to be pretty graphically dated at this point but it's still a decent little smash em up RPG through a variety of Marvel settings and characters. It's pretty funny looking at who got selected to be playable back before the MCU became a big thing.

I think everyone who's had a movie was playable. But the initial team was based on New Avengers vol. 1 and the Bendis Secret War mini.

Thanks. Yeah the Spider-Man game was the first movie tie in and I'm sure that I've played it but I don't remember it, just saw it in a shop today for �1 ($1.30). I've never played Marvel Ultimate Alliance but I think I'd read on this forum that one of them is good and one of them is bad. I saw the first one for �2.50 ($3.20) and they're probably both worth it.

Both Ultimate Alliances are decent enough, but the first one is definitely better, and all the characters have 4 costumes instead of 2 in the sequel.

The Ultimate Alliance re-releases include all of the DLC characters, which is an extra incentive if you never got them the first time around like me.

It's fun playing through the game with Doom, since he's the villain of the piece the framing story is that he wins, things go horribly wrong, and so he's travelled back in time to stop himself.

As I recall, Spider-Man's had a pretty solid overall video game average. What's the worst game he's ever headlined? Right now, I'm thinking it's Arcade's Revenge on the SNES.

The Spider-Man levels were pretty good, decent wall climbing mechanics for a 2d 16 bit game. I'd say the Maximum Carnage game was worse, bog standard 2.5d beat-em up.

The Genesis Spider-Man has a fond place in my heart as my first Comic Book video game but it was pretty drat hard too, and definitely lacked the feeling of Spider-Man being Spider-Man, with him mostly walking with occasional ceiling crawling.

The TMNT style one was just weird, with Giant Venom.

There was this weird thing going on that went from the 16-bit era all the way up to the end of the PSOne where people kept making arcade-style quarter-munchers except they weren't in arcades and they didn't offer quarters. It used to drive me insane.

Death of Superman was another, I think it was made by Rare or some other developer that later had great success making games in a completely different style.

I doubt you'll actually see Tony Stark of Stephen Strange in person. Black Cat is a Spider-Man character so it's not surprising she's got DLC

I'd really love if they did something with him but considering it sounds like there's also a couple MJ levels where you're just kinda loving around as her and never do it again I'd be shocked if the best Miles could hope for was beyond a level or two of 'now you're Miles, take some pictures of this cool thing...ok go back to Spider-Man for the rest of the game again now'.

I'd love it if they went full Ultimate and Miles replaced Peter half way in or something, though.

I always thought it was dumb when they put Miles in the 616 they didn't use the 8 month jump post Secret Wars to not put Peter in a hospital for a month or two, then a month or two of him without his powers for a mysterious reason, giving a time frame that you didn't have to show in detail where Miles could get his powers and fill the gap of the missing Spider-Man, but then by the time the comics catch up Peter is healthy and mentoring him. The month or two without Spider-Powers is to explain how Peter suddenly owns a company big enough to rival Stark (he just needs to loving apply himself).

This is like those people who not only believe Jar Jar is a sith lord but actually think he will show up in episode 9 as the guy behind everything.

Metal Gear Solid 2 was a playstation exclusive.

But it is a completely insane idea given the amount of advertising around the game, and especially all the alternate costumes, the fact that it would leek, if not before anyone played it, within hours of the the first person able to play it, playing it. I can't imagine any triple A game trying something like that today

Is the Spider-Punk costume pre-order exclusive? I might have to pre order depending on what my bank account looks like after I pay rent.

Googling tells me none are exclusive, but but pre ordering gets you Spider-Punk (and two other ones that I would never wear because they aren't Spider-Punk) immediately instead of having to unlock it. So now I'm wavering, but slightly leaning towards pre-order.
