One of the rumoured premium skins I heard was Mr. Freeze as a skin for Captain Cold. If so that would entirely make sense and be pretty awesome. And while it hasn't been announced I could also see them getting a lot of the CW cast to do skins for characters like how they did with Stephen Amel as Arrow in Injustice 1.

Rhonne posted:I wonder how the Joker comes back in this considering the thing that began all the troubles in the Injustice universe was Superman putting his fist through him. Green Arrow (from the Injustice Universe) was also killed by Superman (in the Injustice Year One comic.) and was referenced in the game as being dead. He's in this game and back from the dead. And in fact in this video he even straight up says this in his opening to Captain Cold. https://youtu.be/ZwjfOp-YMzE

The thing is the X-Men have re-appeared in the MOBA game Future Fight. And it looks like they'll appear in Avengers Academy. I think that Marvel are slowly starting to allow the X-Men back into some of their multi platform media. On that basis you could probably come up with a better line for why they aren't in Marvel vs Capcom. (That the time isn't right for them, or at the start of the development cycle they weren't a priority. But now might be.)

That's something I always wondered why computer game companies never do. So way back in 2000, footage was released for this new Zelda game. It looked amazing and was considered too good to be true. In fact it was, it was a tech demo to drum up interest, but they couldn't make a game using that engine. But that thought has always stuck with me. Like why not make a computer game, with a generic engine that is easy to work with and does all the stuff that you want the main game to do. But then for one specific section of the game (say the final boss battle.) use a completely different engine. One which pushes technology to the limit and looks far better than the main game. But make the engine limited so that it only has to do like three or four things. Instead of a wide engine that has to handle your character walking around and jumping over fences, just make it a pre-rendered on rails sequence where you have a couple of limited choices. Like basically make a normal game and have the very final boss fight just be a Dragons Lair style branching animated movie with the best possible pre-rendered graphics imaginable.

Wanderer posted:What you're proposing is basically the same as trying to shove two entirely different types of engine into a single automobile. I guess that sort of makes sense. I suppose I was thinking in terms of the days when Game Companies would devote time to making long pre-rendered cutscenes for the Intro that was done with graphics far in advance of the main game. (The PS1/PS 2 Era Final Fantasy Games. A lot of PC adventure games like Outcast etc..) Basically bring something like that back for one or two specific sequences not in the games main engine and just make it a branching cutscene, which is disguised with some button prompts to decide the players choice, or a basic "Rock/Paper/Scissors" style mechanic where your choice is either the right response, the sort of right response, the sort of wrong response or sort of wrong. The idea that it wouldn't be done because it's more of an artistic idea and not commercially viable visa vie the financing of computer games (and how you'd be paying for content that most buyers would never see...unless they watch You Tube videos of people play it weeks after the game came out.) is probably the biggest reason why it would never be done. I still think it's an idea with potential, but I understand the why it would never exist. Outside of me stumbling across a Cosmic Cube and wishing the game into existence.

It's been a while since I played Human Revolution or Mankind Divided but I don't remember anything about Adam being someone's clone. I remember he was gene engineered to be able to accept all the augmentation and that the Illuminati wanted to make the first Deus Ex game happen but little else of crucial importance. Apart from how difficult it was to get the achievements for no killing enemies, stealth running the game AND saving both sets of hostages in the last level.

Lurdiak posted:Why did stealth takedowns cost energy. It was for gameplay balance reasons. Otherwise all you would do is switch on Cloaking, Silent Movement, Speed running and then dash through a level doing stealth double takedowns on every enemy and clear the levels in about two minutes before your battery runs dry. By making each takedown cost one bar, it means you can't just completely end levels.

Retro Futurist posted:We have MGS5 Funny you mention MGS5. During the game Huey builds this thing called Battle Gear. It gets a cool cutscene and theme music. It is never seen for the rest of the game, being something you just deploy for resource generation and nothing else. Supposedly it was designed and put into the game, but taken out because it was too broken. From the sounds of it, it would have worked like the Batmobile from Arkham Knight where it has a driving mode and a fighting mode. I would have loved to see how it worked.

SlothfulCobra posted:Honestly isn't Batman the thing that ends up dragging down a lot of shared universe stuff anyways? Because a lot of the things that can work for him as a solo hero+ensemble cast either don't work as well with the rest of DC's big heroes or directly contradicts most of the things that people like about them. When Arkham Origins was announced, they said that it would feature the Silver Age JLA in it. And I thought that would be perfect. I had this image of the games plot playing out and you'd have mention made of the Justice League trying to contact you, but Batman would keep brushing them off because he is in the middle of solving this big case. And you'd reach a point where Batman figures out what the villains plot is (say the Joker has all these bombs he is about to drive all over Town.) but Batman gets ahead and finds the trucks when they are still in the warehouse and he's about to cut the villains plan off at the legs. But just as you are about to go in, the Justice League appear. And they should look glowing and glorious and godlike in comparison to Batman. They should be bright and illuminate Batman in light and there should be almost like wind blowing him back in a way that makes him look vulnerable. And they explain that they have been trying to contact him because Mogul is in low Earth Orbit in War World and he's about to start blowing up countries NOW, so they need Batman to infiltrate the ship and disable his defences. And the next bit of the game could have been almost like a Call of Duty style game where you see Green Lantern and Wonder Woman doing these big action set pieces, while you creep past to access the ships power grid or something. Then you end up watching the League fight Mogul and periodically as Batman you jump in when Mogul is off balance to stab him with a batarang. And when you are done you rejoin the games plot but all the villains have moved on, and Batman has to track down where all the trucks went. Basically I see Batman in the Justice League as someone who they view in a high reguard and have need of his skills. But he himself is competely outclassed and has to rely on a lot of training and gadgets to not get instantly jibbed.

I wonder if Gameplay wise this is going to be like the multiplayer mode from Resident Evil 3. As in a team of four players on one side, each playing different characters with different skill sets. And then one other player on his own who controls waves of mook enemies that the Squad have to work past to get to a boss Justice League character. It would give them scope to have a suicide squad that is more than just four villains.

catlord posted:To be fair, it made a lot of bad choices. The basic stuff from City is all there, and that all feels good, and then you have things like certain upgrades being blocked off because you have to do something, and there's only a couple times you can do them in the entire game, or the story fizzling a bit (I thought it was... fine, but I do agree with basically every criticism of it). Of the four main games I'd personally say it's tied for the weakest (I felt that Knight's flaws dragged it down a bit), but I also feel that the worst Arkham game is still pretty drat good. Yeah. I get why they blocked off some upgrades (to make it so that you couldn’t just buy the best upgrades straight up and to give an incentive for doing side quests. And the challenge ladder stuff being possible to mess up and get locked out of was a poor design move. But watching Slowbeef’s LP, I saw that the design for progression of the game (how the Riddler/Enigma stuff was unlocked) was better than how it appeared in City. (Making it Unlock Tower which gives you Relays which then give you informants which give you the Data Packs) seemed a better system. It’s also got better boss fights. Yes it doesn’t have the Mr. Freeze fight from City, but Deathstroke is just the combat version of Freeze’s predator boss. And a load of the other boss fights (Copperhead, Firefly, Killer Croc, Bane) all work better than the other Arkham games boss fights. Even the story flows better than City. Like it makes a logical sense and has emotional development for the main characters. While City is more “Batman get’s poisoned. Better go to these places and see if there is a cure.”

Rocksteady Exec 1: Okay so which of Batman's villains will we put into the game today? Rocksteady Exec 2: Right. While this guy is technically a DC villain, he has fought Batman a few times. I say we put in Deathstroke. Rocksteady Exec 1: Brilliant. He's got an arsenal of weapons and gadgets, he's an expert hand to hand combatant and he has the perfect motivation to be brought into this plot since he is a mercenary. We even have the perfect blueprint for how the fight works by copying the fight from Arkham Origins. Everyone agrees that was one of the best parts of that game. Rocksteady Exec 2: Sure. But what if, instead of doing that, we just put him into a tank, make it unfun and generic as possible and just call it a day. Rocksteady Exec 1: I like it. Hey wanna take this Sony money, buy some cocaine and pound nails into our dicks? Rocksteady Exec 2: Hell yes! Fin. catlord posted:It occurs to me, since they were talked about earlier but I don't remember seeing it mentioned, but the Arkham games just released on GOG, as part of their current sale. $5 for the first three and $10 for Knight.

I downloaded them after the company went under and kept them on my PS4. If I can still download them I won't have to copy them over to my PS5 for Christmas.

Dawgstar posted:It also feels like the best iteration of TellTale doing it's best to cover up 'the thing happens anyway regardless of your choice' and some of your choices actually stick. (Tales is my favorite TT game.) The Catwoman one was all about building a relationship with her. Except for it to really work you almost had to follow a walk through to pull it off. You needed to make a very specific set of choices to get her to want to be with you. Meanwhile one crucial choice is save Harvey Dent from having his face melted or stop Catwoman from being shot. And Catwoman being shot has little consequence (I don't even think it's something you have to do for the Catwoman relationship) Harvey's choice is both wide ranging and unimportant at the same time. It's a strange thing.

Look I think there is a compromise here we can reach that will make everyone happy. You should be allowed play as the big Marvel Universe heroes AND there will be perma-death if things go wrong in a mission. But after any mission where you lose a character, they play a little cutscene showing that the hero wasn't actually disintegrated, but sent forward in time. Or trapped in an alternate universe. Or replaced with a Skrull before the mission. Or being brought back to life on Krakoa. And at the very end of the game, every character who died is revealed to be still alive. Perfect comic book experience.

MadDogMike posted:Hell, forget the end of the game, have them show up as brainwashed cyborg versions a few missions down the road as an enemy you can rescue back. Even more comic book appropriate and I’m amused at the idea of game strategies including “kill this character off to get a better version ASAP” (think some LOTR games have done that with Gandalf before, but that’s the only other example I can think of off the top of my head). (The year 2026. The place, Dark YouTube. Since this is the dark future.) "What's up, it's ya boi FreedomLover69, back with another stream. This time I'm going to be playing Marvel Com: Terror From the Deep. So the strategy we are going to adopt is we are going to get Captain America killed in the first mission. This seems crazy because Cap is so good, but by doing this we get Sam Wilson Captain America as a replacement. And midway through the game we get a chance to recruit Deathlok Captain America and he is seriously OP. But first I'd just like you all to hit Like and Subscribe and hit the Bell Icon to be notified of all my future streams. And lastly, if you are living in a State that has not adopted Purge Laws, I'd please ask you to contact your elected representatives and tell them to vote to impeach President Mecha-Trump."

In fairness to them when your roster includes a mutant who can come back from any injury, a man who regularly backs up his mind and a Hellspawned weapon for Heaven, the idea that your team could die just around the corner loses a bit of credibility. Though Marvel games with a bunch of established heroes and Player Insert characters are a mixed bag, I'm hoping less X-Men: Destiny and more Marvel: Avengers Alliance.

Old Kentucky Shark posted:There's a qualitative difference in feel between RNG that effects your outcomes and RNG that effects your options. An X-Com sniper might hit, or they might miss, but they'll never flat out not be able to snipe just because I didn't draw any Snipe! cards this round. Just going back to this, even this point isn't true. If you are talking about the Fireaxis XCOM games there were easily situations where your sniper couldn't snipe. They hadn't reloaded on the last turn, you had to move them, an enemy used a power on them, they didn't have LOS etc... There were all kinds of situations where you didn't have the chance to snipe and the action was denied to a player for a turn. The card system is just a further abstration of this. "The rules say you can't do this thing you want to do this turn." It's just more blatant about it.

Gaz-L posted:The one thing I'm concerned about is that all 4 characters will play the same. Like, logically KS and Harley should be your tank and melee DPS, Deadshot is big single target damage and Boomer does CC. But the trailer makes it look like they all kinda do the same stuff. The one thing I will say about that trailer is it does a good job in showing how each character moves. Like from looking at it, Deadshot seems to be all about a jetpack that lets him circle strafe around enemies or go above them to get verticality. It makes him seem like he wants to keep distance with enemies at all times, which makes sense if he is guns4pro. While King Shark looks to be about huge leaps and climbing up surfaces. So he is about closing the gap and getting in enemies faces....before biting them off. While Harley Quinn seems to use a grapple to swing around areas to make for hit and run attacks, Captain Boomerangs agile sliding moves and super speed dashing seems like he wants to be close to enemy groups but always moving. That could form a very interesting gameplay core that might be fun and offer a unique feel to all four characters, while letting you build up a preferred character/playstyle. Or it might be reparative and bad. It also looks like it has some teamwork system to reward one character assisting another one. It's early days and it's not the type of game I would associate with the Suicide Squad (which I think should have been just a huge roster of C-list villains who die and get rotated out) but there might be something to this game.

One of the appeal of Superman stories is the idea of Clark Kent doing his thing, suddenly hearing someone crying for help and seeing him do the "run towards the camera and rip open the shirt to reveal the 'S stands for Hope'" thing. But as fantastic as it is to see that whole bit down really well, doing it in gameplay would probably feel really tedious after the 10th time.

This is only tangentially related to the copaganda argument, but I hate that there is a crime family in the Marvel universe called the Maggia. The world has a real crime family called the Maffia but it's a criminal organisation, not a super crime family or anything like that. A lot of people are unaware of the difference between criminal organisations and super crime families run by cyborgs already, we don't need Marvel adding to the confusion.
