I read a goofy interview where both Chris Evans and the Russo Bros played the Captain America game and based a lot of his Winter Soldier fight choreography on that.

...as one of the 7 people who 1000/1000'ed that game, I can kind of see that, actually.

There's one or two moves the Hulk does in the Norton movie that are straight out of the Hulk: Ultimate Destruction game (which is excellent BTW)

That game is criminally underrated really, especially considering how it was basically the template for Prototype and to a lesser extent Infamous.

I'm going to argue right here that Hulk UD is the best superhero game ever made, at the very least in terms of adapting a character.

I agree. Most people give that credit to Spider-Man 2 but this was a much better game overall, and more fun to free roam smashing poo poo in.

This is what I was going to ask. I mean, yeah, UD is unquestionable fun, but is it more accurate to the character of Hulk than AA is to Batman?

mind the walrus
Sep 22, 2006

I think they're both extremely accurate, but AA/AC has a level of polish and top-tier talent (Rocksteady, Kevin Conroy, Mark Hamill) that even a truly great game like H:UD can't match.

I'd certainly put UD over Spiderman 2, especially since the latter has aged horribly. The swing mechanics are still fun but everything else about the game is bland and tedious.

I'd still play Hulk UD over City and Asylum any day of the week. Not that Hulk is without problems, but as far as messing around in an open world, it's unparalleled.

I think people don't mention Batman mostly because the games are so highly regarded they're not given the "for a superhero game" moniker. Hulk:UD or Spider-Man 2 or whatever are heavily flawed games that fall firmly into into that category while Batman games are generally well regarded enough to not need it.

Asylum was an incredible game, it's true. I stand by what I said.

Asylum was awesome, but City kinda tripped over its own feet (and being Joker 2: The Jokening).

Infamous is the best superhero game, though.

Infamous 2 does have one of the best climaxes, in that it feels like a superhero move, complete with random bystanders yelling poo poo like "Go, Electric Man!"

OK, LEGO batman 3 has over 150 characters, including Adam West as a kind of Stan Lee fill in. You can also play as '66 Batman, and there is a '66 Batman themed level.

Also, Bat-cow, Krypto, & Frankenstein among others.

It should be its own button, really. Then again I still lament that no Batman game yet has had a context-sensitive command to shout things like

Not that I mind in the slightest because it's Conan, but what on earth has Conan ever done related to Batman or Legos? Despite being a golden god because of his contributions to golden age Simpsons, he's actually not that much of a nerd and never has been, it's more that nerds just happen to love him. At least with Duck Dodgers or Kevin Smith or something there's a precedent.
