Why are Spider-Man & Batman the only superheroes that get decent games?
Gonna be adding Wolverine to that list soonAlso Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 is kino and features a ton of heroes so I think that counts
>>737496580they're the only superheros with real mainstream cultural penetration. even Superman is kinda niche these days because he's so straight edge that he doesn't fit in with the modern 'edgy and dark' ethos people expect from action heroes. maybe 15 years ago you could've included Iron Man in the discussion, but that's it.
>>737496580They have limits and can’t fly. They have tool-based abilities that lend themselves to games well. The power scaling is lower than other superhero/villain ensembles.
>>737496580They were IP's owned by actual people interested in making games
>>737496580It was a small miracle that Arkham Asylum turned out well and wasn't like Batman Returns the video game 2. I don't think DC even knows get their characters in a good video game, and they recently failed in a big way with Suicide Squad.
>>737496580Hulk Ultimate Destruction was really fun too, they definitely could've made more good Hulk games if the MCU didn't ruin him.
>>737496891Batman has been owned by DC since his inception and Spiderman by Marvel since his. Marvel and DC own like 99% of all noteworthy superhero IPs and have done since the 1970s
>>737497360He is the ghost who walks
>>737496580do you think if superheroes were real they'd be racist ?
what I can't understand is why very few vidya makers have tried to create an entirely original superhero specifically for the video game medium
>>737496580Hookshot is the key to good videogames.
>>737500620Are you hoping Powergirl steps on your little brown dick and calls you mean names?
>>737500783Maybe but Saints Row 4 was essentially a superhero (and Matrix) game and you could just outright fly in that. It was fun. That's actually a decent sleeper superhero recommendation.
