/v/ - Video Games

>why

Because the companies aren't licensing the characters out. I assume the sales in the past haven't justified continuing to make games that aren't about spider man. Another guess is that they'd rather focus all attention into the extremely profitable market in which marvel has seen much success, and DC is trying desperately to get to that same level of success.

tl;dr

cash

>extremely profitable movie market

>>15267336

Yeah but you don't see this with other shit. For example when the Star Wars movies were coming out we were getting flooded with Star Wars vidya. I am pretty certain there are enough movie drones these days and people pretending to be "fans" that you can put black panther on a videogame and you will get a lot of people go "YO YOU SEE THAT BLACK PANTHER VIDEO GAME, IT'S LIKE GRAND THEFT AUTO BUT IN AFRICA"

>>15267301

Me likey the one where Hulk runs straight up buildings like the freak he is.

>>15267301

Because they always want something to be a media tie-in. They never just hand a license to someone and say "Make a good Hulk game in the usual 3.5-5 year gamedev cycle" they say "We started filming a Hulk movie that's gonna come out in 29 months. You've got that long to make a game for it."

>>15267301

Because Marvel is a company run by incompetent fools.

>>15267410

DC is doing no better vidya wise

>>15267407

You'd think after Goldeneye they developers would have learned to give developers more time.

But no, not even Star war makes good games now.

>>15267414

DC is even worse than Marvel, which is an accomplishment in itself

>>15267364

I don't disagree. I think the extreme popularity of the movies would do nothing but bolster sales of capeshit games. If I was marvel I would be pumping games out left and right.

>>15267301

>Cape shit movies are bad

but thats wrong

>>15267301

There's plenty, but the majority of them consist of shit mobile games.

>>15267301

Licensing is a big one and vidya publishers are likely wary of it since it doesn't slot into the ongoing trends

>>15267418

Modern business is all based around short-term profit. Extending the profitability of something by say, releasing a movie and then a year and a half later the movie tie-in game is finished, thus selling that game and putting the movie back into the news cycle, simply does not occur to the kikes that run everything. No one likes to play the long game because they're too greedy to wait 4 months for that 2 million, they want it now even if it crashes their company 4 months from now.

>>15267861

Or better yet, why not use vidya as a platform to tell an original capeshit story? Instead of being some /co/ faggot who only gives a shit about vidya if his favorite franchise star is in it.

What the hell are you talking about? There's hundreds of them. There's at least one spiderman and batman game for every console ever made. Often several.

>>15268030

It's a very basic beat em up, it's pretty fun but nothing special.

Web of Shadows and Shattered Dimensions are fun.

>>15267301

Just play prototype my man, outside Bam A Ham Yum and Spodermen 2 i can't think of any capeshit games worth your time.

>>15268312

>i can't think of any capeshit games worth your time

Try playing games from before the 6th generation.

>>15268177

>Using the worst weapon in the game

>>15267414

I'd rather play Injustice 2 than MvCI any day.

>>15269275

>capeshit comics preached about disarming people and not killing criminals.

Want to tell how I know you are a moviefag? Protip, many heroes kill.

>>15267444

>>15267617

But as a Dredd film it was shit, entirely lacking in political and economic undertones, nevermind the emphasis on ethical dilemmas that should have been there.

Sage for off topic

>>15269768

>But as a Dredd film it was shit, entirely lacking in political and economic undertones,

That's the weakest part of Judge Dredd comics. Any parody of fascism will turn out to be an endorsement of fascism, regardless of authorial intent. By focusing on how bad the criminals are and the action of dealing with them, you get rid of the bullshit and cut to the core of the appeal.

>>15268177

it baffles me how anyone can think the genesis sounds better than snes

>>15269811

it has it's moments

Alien3

Earthworm Jim 1 and 2

Jurassic Park

>>15269811

Because they did better work overall with the hardware. About all I'd give the SNES is Soul Blazer.

>>15269768

I liked it for just that reason. It wasnt some giant overarching plot. It was just another day in the megacity. I felt it worked well.

>>15269715

It's because it was buggy, the cutscene animations suck and Spider-Man sounds like a faggot. Yahtzee is a faggot, and so are you.

>>15272685

>they make a comic where one super hero intellectually checkmates another over and over

The absolute fedoras.

>>15267336

>Because the companies aren't licensing the characters out.

Yes they are. There are a bunch of Iron Man and Captain America games but they're all shit. There are a bunch of Superman and Flash games but they're all shit. Okay some of the 16-bit ones were okay but nothing worth writing home about.

>>15267407

Which is weird because the recent Batman games aren't media tie ins and they're super successful. The first one could have been a Dark Knight tie in if WB forced them to release it a bit earlier, but they didn't and it was a hit. So you'd think they'd learn from this. Plus the first two 3D Spider-Man games were great and successful. The first Spider-Man movie game is pretty much a sequel to them. But I guess the higher success of that game, and monstrous success of Spider-Man 2, was enough to make them forget about earlier successes, even though the success of Spider-Man 2 obviously had nothing to do with the movie. The game was barely related to the movie and was mostly about Mysterio, with Doc Ock basically being the worst sidequest.

Also, InFamous was just about white Static, and it did well.

>>15271414

DC already tried that. It didn't stick. They brought Barry back and everyone was mad. Then they erased Wally so Barry wouldn't be outshone by him. Then people kept complaining so they brought Wally back but he was completely rebooted and was a black kid now. Then people kept complaining so they brought back original Wally and explained that black Wally was his cousin who just also happened to be called Wally. DC listens to their fans a lot more than modern Marvel, and they have a long history of returning to the status quo and making everything ever canon, despite being known for huge reboots that change everything. When it comes to DC, everything that was ever canon continues to be canon. If they say they rebooted but don't say what was changed, then nothing was changed except for the things they specifically point out. And you can bet that all the stuff that was changed will end up coming back anyway, even if it means characters now have two sets of memories for their own pasts.

But guns are used to kill other people. Cigarettes are used to kill yourself. Unless you're forcing someone else to smoke like in a sitcom where a dad catches his son smoking or something. Also, we do lock up people for speeding and letting their dangerous dogs hurt people, and fine them for recycling. Barry is being an idiot here, especially since he is a cop and he's basically just saying he shouldn't do his own job. Barry being relatively conservative makes sense. He should be a by the books cop. But these examples are just dumb.

Barry is like Murtagh from Lethal Weapon, and Hal Jordan is like Riggs. Barry in the tv show sucks because he's just some hipster faggot and they make him incredibly immature, so he has no personality to his own. Because we can't have a hero who is just an old school by the books cop, because that is "boring" and "problematic." Though of course you can give that character tons of conflict in trying to follow the books properly. But fuck it. We'll go a step further in the movies and have him be the most jewish man in the world.

>>15269811

The YM2612 chip has it's moments. FM synthesis has it's perks for hard driving or industrial-ish kinda stuff. Contra Hard Corps and Alien Soldier come to mind.

>>15288446

Nobody said anything about guns being used. It was about Superman thinking about taking away all guns, and Barry giving shitty fucking examples for why that's bad, and being a fucking smug fedora faggot about it. It's extremely out of character for both of them and makes Barry look like an idiot. I think it would be in character for him to support the right to own guns, and to support the death penalty, for that matter, but he's supposed to be smart, and should be able to give better arguments than that. Also he shouldn't be a smug faggot. Barry is a mature, level headed guy.

>Shitty examples for why that's bad

Cars kill more people yearly than guns do, while there's about 30,000 gun deaths in a given year(including suicides) there's 500,000 to 3,000,000 defensive uses of firearms per year.

His point is that going after guns to save lives is retarded, because mundane things like smoking and automobiles kill more people individually than guns ever do, and even if you remove all guns from the planet, people seeking to do others harm will still find a way and those 500,000 to 3,000,000 people per year that use firearms to protect themselves would be defenseless.

They aren't shitty reasons, just parred down to fit in a comic book.

>>15267301

>Why are there so few super hero videogames when running around and clubbering shit is a great excuse to make a videogame about.

I want a Punisher game in Crackdown-style, but with an emphasis on avoiding collateral damage and other superheros that want to stomp your shit in.

>>15293470

Smoking kills yourself. If you wanna kill yourself, go ahead. Automobiles serve uses other than killing. Guns are made specifically to kill. The arguments aren't equivalent. But the real issue is Barry being an arrogant fedora faggot about it, and Superman considering something that is incredibly out of character for him. That's only what Superman acts like to faggots who have never read a Superman comic and think he's some sort of fascist like that. Meanwhile, nobody knows The Flash's personality because he's not even famous, so they can change it as much as they want and people will only notice if he's not the jew from the movie or the hipster twink from the tv show.
