Yeah let's not spoil anything. I want to see what murata wants to show, but I'm very excited to see his rendition of the actual story as well because I've re-read the next part several times. I think I watched dbz and yuyu hakusho too many times and now martial arts tournaments scream boring filler to me. I'm sure it will be good tho.
Gotta watch straight up Dragon Ball to get hype for a martial arts tournament. That was my favorite part, so I am kind of excited for the dumb gimmicky fights murata might provide us with.

Especially the weird business dude. I hope he just fuckin clowns on people instead of fighting.

Despite not appearing in the webcomic, is the current stuff in the Murata version still being written by ONE?

Cheatmode is playing as Saitama, Genos is normal difficulty and King difficulty is playing as King.

Is King mode a meta-game where it's you playing as King who is in turn playing as Saitama/someone else?

Why does everyone think I'm going to get in trouble?

My friends and I were discussing an OPM game by Platinum last night on a W101 stream I was doing and we came to the conclusion that Saitama really wouldn't be a great character action game protagonist on account of the whole one punch thing. If you want a good OPM character action game, you'd probably want Genos as the main character so you can basically have Metal Gear Rising again.

I think my ideal OPM game would have you going through the main story from Genos's perspective and playing through the major chapters as standard Platinum affairs with the main enemies being bosses, like you could have a boss fight against Carnage Kabuto, Deep Sea King and other ancillary villains but the key thing about them is that they'll do something to immediately trash Genos right after you deplete their health, so Saitama would have to come and rescue you in a cutscene. It probably wouldn't be a bad idea if some fights had you playing as different heroes instead, like playing as Puri Puri Prisoner for the first part of the DSK fight, followed by a quick Sonic section, then the main fight with Genos and finishing with a Common Rider defense. The main thing is that you never get to play as Saitama until the alien invasion, where you fight Boros and do so effortlessly. Once that happens and the credits roll, you unlock Saitama mode, where you get to play through the game again from Saitama's perspective and it's a life and time management simulator.

Rather than Genos, I'd prefer to play as Speed of Sound Sonic (lol). I'd love a game where you can move ridiculously fast and have to play around with that skillset. Obviously, Genos is fast too but he's got a different skillset.

King Mode would just be playing Street Fighter or Tokimeki Memorial (or more risque dating sims) from his first person perspective. You'd have to occasionally answer your phone and explain why you can't respond to a HA callout and try to buy more food without getting attacked by monsters.

Well Platinum has made two tie-in/based on franchise games, and now working on a third.
One, legend of Korra, was lackluster but was a tiny rear end download only game to begin with.
The next, Transformers Demolition, is Metal Gear Rising but WITH SWEET REVVS OFF YOUR ENEMIES FACE. Also everything looks Gen 1 so that's cool too.
Now they're doing TMNT and it has fuckin Bebop and Rocksteady


Onepunch game doesnt make a lot of sense, but if someone really wants to be made I don't see anyone but platinum doing it.

Punches do no damage, only dodges and poses. But your poses are about 100 times more effective.

OPM is like venture bros in that yes, a game should obviously be made, but it would be so easy to gently caress up and what would it even be to begin with?

if they made OPM some generic brawler by platinum, that's doing the series a huge disservice. so then what? an asuras wrath or telltale style game is better but you may as well be watching the show.

probably the best option starting off for both of them is something that takes place in the world but on a distant level, like you're managing the hero association/guild and have to deal with all these randomly generated funny gimmick hero/villain characters. that's not the most exciting thing gameplay-wise but it's basically guaranteed to work while still being in the spirit of the source material, and it's a good way to get the toe in the water and lead to further games in different styles.

immediately going for the one obvious thing of fighting a bunch of enemies is a good way to ensure you're only ever getting one mediocre game as a way to check a box on a list before moving onto the next. that's currently what platinum is doing going through all those old franchises and lumping some great modern stuff in with that old crap would be a total loving shame.that is what happened with korra, they're never going to make another game for that now that the obvious idea was made in a total no effort fashion and bombed. most modern shows have a bit more substance to them and treating it in the same one and done obvious idea manner like ninja turtles is being pretty wasteful.

A OPM game couldn't be just one genre, that wouldn't do it justice, it would have to almost be one of these weird modern mashups where one segment for one character is retro Doubledragon side-scroll brawler, while another section is a like a Graphic Novel adventure, then a dance-dance beat game, and another segment would be like a Supermarket Tycoon shopping manager, all tied together with clever comic panel seaways and poo poo.

You could totally do it as a Platinum game where your combos are actually Saitama dodging or being hit by attacks for no damage to build up a punch meter that instantly kills anything in a cone in front of you.

Maybe replace health with a time mechanic where you have to complete objectives in X amount of time or the mission fails/you don't get neat bonuses? Dodging, then, would be a good idea so that you fill up your punch-gauge faster and don't waste time by being staggered. That would certainly gel with where the actual in-series fights draw their tension from. It'd also make it easy to incorporate non-Saitama characters - they get attacks outside their super gauge and more generous time allowances, but (obviously) can't dish out the screen-clearing hurt nearly as well, can actually take damage, and have to look out for their health-bars.

Make it so that you play as some rando pro hero and have to complete objectives in X amount of time or Saitama shows up and oneshots the monster/challenge.

Thing is, it's not Murata that's writing the tournament arc, it's still ONE. This is the second draft of the Garou arc that ONE's written because the first draft (ONE's one-man webcomic) was rushed. It was still awesome enough that everyone who's read the ONE version wants to see it drawn by Murata, but it's pretty clear when you read the first webcomic that ONE sort of glossed over the hero hunt to get over to the next bit of the Garou arc. The Garou arc was good enough that even stripped down to its narrative bare essentials it's something that the ONE readers have been looking forward to seeing Murata'd for a long time now, but clearly ONE regrets not fleshing it out a bit more.

When I say "this isn't filler," I mean it. This is a director's cut.

And even some characters that ONE wrote and introduced for the Murata version are being included in the original webcomic as though they've always been there. There's no separation of creative direction between the two manga versions, it's all written by ONE.
