I think there are ways it could work but my hot take on that is well, why not just have the actual Enforcers, Punisher, and the other villain in the game to fight? There's always the development time and resources that will limit things but it seems like a big tease for fans of a character to fill the game with enemies that fill the role of lesser supervillains but not have them be any of that character's familiar bad guys.

But anyway, getting around patents can be fairly easy even if you go the route of "similar concept implemented directly" versus "just pay the patent holder". derp. yeah, that's what I meant OnimaruXLR posted:It's a good fit for superhero open world games, because what other genre involves beating up the same handful of guys every few stories? The Wonder Woman game is confirmed to be using it, at least, though who knows when we'll see it again

Also what other genre lets you kill someone in a story, only to bring them back later with a different/scarred appearance, and maybe the conceit that "You can't beat me that way again. I learned from our last encounter." Hell, there's at least 2 characters I can name where that was their whole gimmick. CzarChasm fucked around with this message at 17:48 on Jul 12, 2023 |

I personally just think it'd be a fun way to get villains into new costumes during the course of the game.

Seems like a good fit if you wanted to put Doomsday in. A cross between the Nemesis system and actual Nemesis from Resident Evil

Homelander, Starlight and Black Noir skins have been added to Call of Duty. They've also added a Temp V powerup that gives you one of four powers for a limited time.

Lobok posted:Orcs could rack up immunities but honestly the toughest part of fighting the strong ones was dealing with them in the middle of a dozen other orcs. That was the fun part. That rear end in a top hat turning up AGAIN when it's not convenient for you at all! And there were limits to their adaptability. No orc ever became completely immune to damage; there was always a way to defeat them, even if it wasn't your preferred way. If nu-Zelda had a system like that maybe I would be forced to venture away from Muddlebud/Puffshroom/Bomb arrows.

Yeah I remember some pretty annoying immunities but it was always do-able. Might have to fight your way through and around a camp full of arcs to blow up a fire barrel next to the big bad Remember Me? orc and it felt pretty awesome to accomplish it, although sometimes it would never end because a parade of revenge-seeking orcs would show up partway through. Fitting that I'm watching a Mission: Impossible movie as I write this because it kinda felt like one of those sequences.

It's not a video game but they're making a Venom pinball machine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sH7wCBblMoM You can choose between playing as Eddie, Flash, Peter, or Gwen. Carnage is the main villain, Knull's the big bad. There's a tiny bell tower!

site posted:I haven't played pinball since I was a kid, how do you play as different characters At the start you can choose a character and each one has different modifiers like easier multiballs, longer ball save time. The TMNT game did the same thing, but this one also changes the physical layout apparently (changes where the ball goes when certain shots are made) and alternate background music

They also had a bunch of pinball machines. It was pretty fun.

They market it as an "Arcade Museum" and it kinda was. They had the sit down cabinets for Star Wars, Pole Position and some tank game I forget the name of (Battlezone?) that were an integral part of the experience. I made a typo up there and meant to say my son got in for 7 bux. Cost as much as a round of putt putt or a pizza at 17 dollars for the day. I grew up with this stuff and, weirdly, had nostalgic memories of cigarette burns on the cabinet and also the row of quarters on the top for players who Had Next. Made me feel young and very old at the same time.

It was impressive to see how much space for innovation there still is in something that's usually regarded as a 'retro' hobby. The one downside is the modern machines are stupid expensive. The ones made by Stern start at like 5000 bucks and can go up considerably from there.

How are this many characters in Batman's group (I assume New 52 is the most current series right now?) and I haven't seen half of them show up even animated still? I'm not asking for Flashpoint Thomas Wayne Batman to show up and it would've been insane for Batman in any of the Arkham games to not be anything less than 180% a killjoy at any time. But still, would've loved something more akin to those small points where you were working with Red Robin and Nightwing in Arkham Knight.

Just based on what I remember, at least half of those have been in a cartoon or video game. and the only really notable ones that haven't are the Batgirls that aren't Barbara and Duke.

I find adaptations have a recency bias but only in a limited way. Can't say I've seen a game or movie or TV show in recent memory acknowledge the actual state of things in comics. Maximum Carnage for SNES did, though.

Duke Thomas is Robin in that Batwheels cartoon. But then Barbara is Batgirl there too. I don't think we'll ever get a non-Barbara Batgirl in mainstream stuff. Most don't even know who Cassandra or Stephanie are. Then again, most probably don't know who Duke Thomas is either and think that Batwheels just made him up.

Cassandra is Batgirl in Young Justice. Has a close relationship with Barbara, since in the show she accidentally caused her injury that leads to her becoming Oracle.

Too many Batpersons dilutes the brand, similarly to having too many Spider-Persons. A multiverse thing is different and rad, obviously.
