Also, unless they have a patent on Free-Flow combat, Warner Bros. doesn't own anything, since you can't copyright game mechanics.

Namco owned the right to have mini games during loading screens for a long time, which is why ridge racer let you play Galaxian during loading in the early ps1 days but no one else could do that

The Question IRL posted:I remembered there was a cancelled Superman game for the PS3 which had him fighting Doomsday through a building. I think one due on YouTube has a series about cancelled games. I remember watching his one about the Flash game which had an interesting idea for combat to assign a button to each enemy on the screen. Waffleman_ posted:Spider-Man PS4 is also looking to be free flow-y. With the air juggling and web moves I think it's going to feel mostly like Spider-Man 2.

Endless Mike posted:No, it is true. It's why companies can legally make wholesale themed copies of Monopoly as long as they call them Farmopoly or whatever. What you are describing is not a mechanic. I stand corrected. Now the real questions is "has this lapsed?" and if so why wasn't I playing Crash Bandicoot while Uncharted 4 loaded.

If your loading screens require a mini-game your loading screens are too long.

Wanderer posted:I mean, they could still do it. The licensed PS3/360 game for the first MCU Captain America movie is basically Cap in Arkham minus gargoyles. Supposedly both Chris Evans and the Russos were fans of that Cap game and based some of his fighting moves in Winter Soldier off of it.

Because the Cap game sold pretty poorly and the Iron Man game was so lovely Disney felt it damaged the brand. They did make that boring Lego Avengers game that follows the plot of the movies.

It still makes me laugh to this day that a barely remembered film cash-in game had a voice cast consisting of Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Christian Bale, Liam Neeson, Cillian Murphy, Ken Watanabe and Tom Wilkinson.

Celebrity voice talent isn't typically that expensive on an absolute scale. I've heard Samuel Jackson mention that his rate for a voice-over game role is around $10K and he can knock it out in an afternoon.

I've heard Samuel Jackson mention that his rate for a voice-over game role is around $10K and he can knock it out in an afternoon. I think it depends on how large the role is, and a lot of games now go for performance capture so it's more akin to an actual movie or TV shoot. Jackson probably did rattle out his lines for GTA in a weekend, but that was nearly 15 years ago.

Lego DC Super-Villains trailer (CG, no gameplay): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2gn1Qmf9eo Details here. Among other things, the story centers around a player-created character, which I don't believe have been playable in a Lego game outside Free Play mode before. Also, the plot is very loosely based on Forever Evil, which wasn't a great comic, but I can see how the "villains vs. evil Justice League" premise could work here. quote:For the first time, a Lego game will give players the ability to create and play as their own DC Super-Villain throughout the game. Their character becomes the center of the story, while teaming up with a variety of villains to adventure through the funny and original story written in collaboration with DC. quote:In Lego DC Super-Villains, the Justice League has disappeared, leaving Earth’s protection to a newcomer group of heroes from a parallel universe, proclaiming themselves as the ‘Justice Syndicate.’ Villains from the ‘Legion Of Doom’ discover Earth’s newest heroes may not be the heroes they claim to be. With each player’s completely customizable Super-Villain character in command, this team of misfit lawbreakers must join forces to discover and foil the evil plans the incognito strangers have in store.

Nothing too major since SDCC. There was a new trailer showing off some of the open world stuff a few days ago, but this close to release, we're not gonna get many bombshells. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yEBp_F67_DI

Not close enough! Everything I've seen makes it look like the best Spider-man game since SM2, plus the costumes you can unlock, and updated graphics/world etc.. I'm flipping out with anticipation.

Some people at Marvel have said that if Spider-Man does well, they're not opposed to maybe the idea of a loosely connected game universe. Probably not like on the scale of the MCU, but Avengers Tower and the Sanctum Sanctorum being in Spidey are good seeds.

Also, if Sony gets this potential game universe and not X-Box, I'll be even more lovely. So I'm probably going to be REALLY lovely soon.
