See, I thought he had said the Arkham games were going to be it, but I guess the lure of phat staxx was too much.

I don't blame him, mind.

It's not great, but it's not the worst.

But it made me watch an ad for Powerless and *that* might be the worst.

That reminds me, is that old X-men fighting game available anywhere?

Also, Miss Marvel? Uh there ain't no ring on there buddy.
X-Men: Children of the Atom? It's never been rereleased since the PS1/Saturn releases, probably due to licensing. (I just checked and it's not on the PSN store, either.) I'm sure if you look around, the arcade ROM is readily available and playable on MAME.

I thought superman was more vulnerable to magic than a regular human. Like Zatanna could say tihs ruoy stnap and a human could probably last longer without voiding their bowels than supes
Nope, he's supposed to be as vulnerable to magic as an in-shape human would be.

In MvC they seem to have replaced dragon punch motions with tapping down twice (Maybe we'll have to wait for Ryu to confirm that.)

I think Giant Bomb was talking about that a few weeks ago at a preview, so it's more or less the direction they're moving in.

Keep in mind, PS4s shipped with a 500 gig hard drive (don't remember if the new upgraded ones have a bigger hard drive or not) and even if you own games on disc it has to install to play it so you don't save storage space, you just don't have to depend on bandwidth or connection stability to re-install games and you can resell them.

That's like 10-12 games max you can switch between without spending an afternoon deleting and installing things, on a console released 4 years ago. And that's not including DLC.
Yeah I plopped a 2 TB drive into my PS4 which was the best thing I could have done.

I guess this is closer to my dream open world sandbox superhero game. Like GTA but you're Iron Man or something. You can just scoot around looking for trouble, random stuff will pop up you can do, plus missions that you can do whenever you want.

Yes I know there are Iron Man mods for GTAV.

So you want Saints Row 4?

You played as a puckish rogue who quipped a ton and killed evil invading aliens with guns and fireballs. You're basically indistinguishable from an Avenger.

Don't forget that you have a giant base and a color theme for everything. It's totally a superhero game.

I'm pretty sure if your idea of "superhero game" requires a silly costume with the underpants on the outside, its costume creator would allow it.

We unfortunately live in a post-Snyder world where Superman destroying Metropolis, killing thousands is totally kosher. I don't expect Rocksteady would shy away from that.

That’s not entirely true. 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
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.

It did as of 2015! Uncharted 4 was probably too far into development and also Crash Bandicoot is bad.

I started the Spider-Man DLC. It basically takes you out of the main game and puts everything the equivalent of an instanced city. You can't do any of the side stuff (other than the secret photo ops, it looks like), and it has its own. You do retain all your stuff, though. Also it adds Heavies with giant guns who are annoying as gently caress.

Has there been any news lately on the Rocksteady Superman game? I think it was announced officially last year some time and I've not seen hide nor hair of it since then.

It hasn't been officially announced, and rumors from legit sources only really started appearing in May of this year (there was some 4chan BS from late last year, but gently caress counting that). I wouldn't expect to hear anything until next year's E3.

Games as a service means they'll release it half-broken with little to no content compared to similarly-priced "full" games, then a year later it *might* actually be worth playing, but you'll still have to pay the same as you would have initially to get all the content packs. Also at launch people will tell you no, really, it's great and there's tons of content! You just have to run the daily challenges (that are content you already played) over and over to get slightly better loot/equipment so you can run the daily challenges better and no, this is DEFINITELY not grinding.

(No, I didn't like Destiny 2.)

Not exactly surprising but I'm pretty sure that in Into the Spider-Verse they included the PS4 costume in the scene where you see all the costumes Peter has made over the years.

There was one that was very similar, yes.

It was pretty good but Ultimate Alliance edges it out for me because of the "Tour of the Marvel Universe" aspect. A bunch of X-men Legends 2 is just in like, sewers and nondescript facilities.
That's fair. Mostly I felt like they really pulled back on the RPG elements with MUA, which was a bummer for me.

For some reason I thought his current costume was a minor tweak on his original, but that's not the case. Anyway, put the Spider-Verse costume and the Spider-Verse off-the-rack costume in as alternates.
