McSpanky posted:I know this idea is impossibly ambitious but I'd love an Avengers game where the style of gameplay completely changes based on which Avenger you're playing. Imagine playing one level as Black Widow doing Thief-style stealth, another as Captain America with Batman AA combo brawling and shield tricks, then switching to Iron Man for a shmup sequence before donning the Hulkbuster armor for a UMvC3 fight. There's been attempts to make games like that and the issue with them is that it necessitates splitting the playable characters in their own specific levels where they can use their gameplay style, which severely limits the playing experience and ruins the idea that you're playing as multiple characters in one big adventure rather than playing a series of gimmicky bonus levels from a better game. It also frustrates the player who might prefer one gameplay style to another and be annoyed they can't play as that character the whole way through. Even more pragmatically, they split the dev team into making several half finished games rather than working on one big one, and as a result each gameplay section is guaranteed to be sub-par and feel rushed.

There was a first person Avengers action game where you could play as Cap, Iron Man, Hulk or Thor in development alongside the movie.

I think you could totally make something like that work. Like McSpanky said, Widow & Hawkeye would be like Assassin's Creed/Mordor, Cap would be more like Batman, Iron Man would be like Zone of the Enders or something, Thor could be similar but more melee centric. Hulk as State of Emergency style "wreck everything" poo poo is pretty funny but sounds good. To make it work, you'd just need a simple threat generation mechanic like the GTA stars system. Like, to contextualize it in Battle of New York terms, if you run around killing a few alien mooks here and there as Hawkeye/Widow, those guys will keep coming after you, maybe occasionally a stronger one. But if you're playing as Thor and you start smashing up poo poo all over the place, then eventually Leviathans will come after you. So it just organically sends threats after you that match up to the damage you're putting out. Simple. (then you have to deal with the fact that some of those characters have crazy traversal abilities and how that impacts level design, but that's a surmountable problem too)

I think something similar to what Lego does would work best for unique playstyles. The majority of the game is the same whoever you're playing, but then you have areas that can only be reached by specific skills and then those little side areas can use the unique parts of the characters. The actual play can still be different enough. Diablo does this already, a Barbarian certainly doesn't play like a Sorceress.

ToastyPotato posted:Most of this season's USM was a cheap Spider-verse arc, and season 1 of AA had the whole Cabal thing running through it, though "arc" can be used very loosely. Same for season 2 of AA with Infinity Stones, Stark's robot buddy, and now Ultron. Basically none of the things they claimed about the current cartoons were really true and they lied for no real reason since it would become immediately obvious to anyone who watched. In this case I was thinking of Super Hero Squad Show that I think someone way back mentioned ran with multiple episode plotlines and such around the time the stuff about AA came out. But I could be wrong of course.

EMH ending was a big disappointment because it's the closest thing we had to a Marvel version of JLU. It used the whole universe across different franchises and could've been used as a springboard to launch other shows if they had wanted to. It did a good job of including b and c-listers occasionally too.

Yeah, and even JLA's first season was really bad, so there was room for growth, until it got Loeb'd.

Spectacular Spider-man, Wolverine & The X-Men, Super Hero Squad Show and Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes are the best thing we got and will ever get of Marvel animation. Each and every one ending way too soon for this cruel world.

Anora posted:What is with the Jubilee hate? To build on the 90s hate, she's the audience surrogate for season One (much how Kitty was in Pryde of the XMen), but she's written in such a way that makes her not entirely interesting to the audience. And really, as the XMen movie proved, everyone wants Logan to be the surrogate

How does Disney's ownership of marvel work when it comes to making cartoons? I always thought Cartoon Network kinda had a dislike for their DC properties and end them early because they had to pay royalties. Would Marvel have to pay more money to keep Avengers EMH going over Avenger Assemble? Did they use the money they saved to buy more expensive looking animation? You know what the worst thing about these cartoons are? The tie in comics that are just screenshots. Even "The Batman" had original comic books.

Cartoon Network is Warner, same as DC, I'm pretty sure. There shouldn't be a royalty issue.

Cartoon Network is owned by Time Warner (through Turner Broadcasting), who also owns DC (through Warner Bros.) But I doubt AA has a higher budget than EMH.

I think it was just they wanted the Avengers cartoon to be done in house instead of through a separate studio that got a huge chunk of the money the show made.

The real reason is that despite being owned by the same company, the CN division infights a lot with the DC division because divisions tend to compete for favor in the eyes of a more impersonal executive division.

Solaris Knight posted:The real reason is that despite being owned by the same company, the CN division infights a lot with the DC division because divisions tend to compete for favor in the eyes of a more impersonal executive division. Well then that is Time Warner allowing one finger to fight the other. Time Warner owns the content and the complete means of its distribution and it can't figure these things out. They don't take their DC properties very seriously. Example: Constantine. They sold a TV show to a network that they do not own, despite owning multiple networks. Gotham as well. How many current Marvel properties are running on networks not owned by Disney? The closest is Netflix, but that isn't a traditional network, and was ultimately part of the initial deal they made a couple of years back to get a ton of Disney content on there by 2016. Also Disney doesn't own a rival streaming service. I think they might have some stake in Hulu (or did) but they share(d) that with rival companies. So it isn't the same as Time Warner forgoing its own networks to sell its properties' rights to other competing networks. ToastyPotato fucked around with this message at 17:45 on Apr 28, 2015 |

Michael C Hall is a great choice for Batman, he didn't just play Dexter, he was first famous for spending 6 years playing a gay mortician.
