I don't know if it's good enough to be 'The Best' but Starship Troopers Extermination and Friday the 13th is pretty fun too. Oh and also all the Lego games too.

The Ghostbusters game was a better third movie than the actual third movie.

Are we specifically referring to licensed games based on movie or is stuff like Arkham Asylum in the running?

Having Spotify thru PS4 made Mad Max just so much more incredible for me. Blasting heavy metal as I’m tearing rear end through the wasteland and messin up all sorts of enemies and their convoys.

YggiDee posted:Are we specifically referring to licensed games based on movie or is stuff like Arkham Asylum in the running? Yeah, we kinda have to draw a line between movie games and franchise games. The “movie game” formula is fundamentally flawed, if you try to tell the same story you end up totally destroying the pacing by padding it out to game length with endless drawn out mob slaughter segments. There’s been maybe one of these ever that was worth a drat (Goldeneye) Whereas if you can write an original story more suited to a game and just target the franchise’s tone and flavor, you can come up with something really unique and special. The Riddick game is a movie tie-in in the thinnest, most ignorable way possible (it’s presented as a reminiscence he’s having during a quiet moment in the movie) and the Batman games are not based on specific movies at all

Spider-Man 3 for the PS2 has the best Black Suit mechanics in any Spidey game ever. The game is balanced so that combat is slightly weighted against you when you're regular Red Suit, encouraging you to use the symbiote for the damage/speed/defense boost. But the longer you wear the Black Suit and the more damage you take, the more the symbiote starts to take you over, and you start getting tunnel vision as the black goo grows in from the edges of the screen. If it covers the whole screen, game over, but you can just hit the suit change button to go back to Red... the first few times. After that, you have to hit a face button, then two, then three, then more, the QTE and the animation of Spidey suppressing the suit getting longer each time, leaving you more and more open to getting bludgeoned by an enemy and having to start over, all while the tunnel vision countdown continues.

I know the upcoming PS5 Spider-Man 2 is heading into symbiote country but I hadn't thought about gameplay mechanics, I wonder if they'll try going for something along those lines.

It's kind of baffling because that was the era where they were still making PS2 games but all the focus was on the next-gen, so the PS3/360 releases don't have that mechanic. Some absolute madlad decided to make the perfect Venom gameplay for the B-side movie tie-in, and then I guess they got abducted by aliens or something because it's never appeared again.

Oh wow, that's wild, apparently different developers even. I've gotten used to cross-gen releases basically just being scaled versions of the same thing, that feels so bizarre anymore.

Splinter Cell: Double Agent is wildly different in the Gen-6 version (PS2, etc) and arguably the better one overall.

I'm sure licensing hell will prevent Rockstar from putting it on Steam. What I am saying though is that they should just take the gameplay wholesale and make a The Warriors that is just legally different enough to avoid copyright

The Mad Max game apparently has some fun background stuff with Max admitting no one's actually sure exactly what happened to end the world, because presumably near everyone in a position to witness major events was probably among the first to get killed. His best guesses are that it seemed to be pretty much everything at once; nuclear exchange, climate collapse, there's still super-plagues going around in some places, the oceans dried up for some reason, and most everyone's been too busy trying to survive or establishing their feudal fiefdoms to keep track of the specifics.

I love the collectible that's an advertisement for a Mad Max themed bike getaway holiday thing and Max is just like "What the gently caress?"

The train is still a few hours out from hitting them, so I go grab a bite to eat then come back that evening to gently shoo the crowd away from the model train track. I swear, jumping all the way to attempted murder is a bit of an overreaction

They do a really good job of muddying the waters. It was close enough that Max seems to have lived through the whole thing as an adult, but also long enough ago for people to have forgotten what planes are for. It's not really important enough for anybody to care.

haveblue posted:All of the Mad Max stories have that feel of myths sliced out of time immemorial, they aren't even consistent with each other yeah I mean technically the first movie takes place while society is still mid-collapse, which REALLY does not work with any of the other movies at all. best explanation I’ve heard is that Mad Max is a mythical figure and the movies are people telling stories about him but I don’t think that’s anything George Miller has thought about too hard tbh

Even without looking it up I recognised the area as local to me. This is because after literal decades, it still looks pretty much the same. I can easily imagine it looking pretty much the same post-apocalypse too.

It's the track I wish Fallout would start taking, where the timeline is vague and contradictory because all the nerds who care about updating the wiki with strict chronology got dusted when the world ended.

Mad Max 1 the world is in decline and society is fraying at the edges. Mad Max 2 the world has collapsed due to endless oil wars. Mad Max 3 there's now references to nuclear devastation ("What's a little fallout, eh?"). Mad Max 4 some sort of traumatic world event has hosed the climate and oceans have receded.
