With the release of Marvel's Spider-Man last fall, I wondered what would be the next new Marvel game to release in the coming years beside Avengers. Fasttrack to today, 2 more have been announced since then: Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 and Iron Man VR. The former is now scheduled for this summer and the latter seems to be coming in 2019, it made me curious what could be coming next. So, in the light of recent announcements (and with Endgame coming soon): what are the other Marvel properties you would like to see turn into actual games? What kind of game would it be? What is the genre of the game (horror, adventure, sci-fi, etc)? How long is the game? Potential DLCs (story, costumes, new playable character(s))? Cameos? Visual style (give examples with photos recommended)? Original or Exisiting story? Origin or Veteran? Main enemy/enemies? Upgradable character (skill tree)?
Just a couple of rules in this thread:
• PLEASE be civil with each others.
• DO NOT mention the publishers or devs you would like to work on it.
• DO NOT mention the platform(s) you want the game to appear on. This way we can avoid the console wars shenanigans (and because next-gen could be coming soon, things could change). :P
• You CAN discuss rumored games (like Guardians of the Galaxy teased last fall by Eurogamer), but if you do, TELL us what are the hopes you have with these games.
• Also, if your game split into different spinoff (i.e. X-Men > Wolverine / Deadpool / Magneto), DESCRIBE the kind of game each spinoff would be and how they would intersect with each other.
For me, the first one would be: Blade
Why? The reason for that is simple, we only got mediocre games so far. :(
What kind of game would it be?
An open-world action game (hack-and-slash and can use guns) mostly set at night with a few daylight missions. You hunt familiars left and right to gather information about upcoming raids, turnings, locations of lieutenants. If you fail to kill one of these lieutenants, two things can happen: 1st - The guy/gal is enraged and launches an assault on your base of operation, which you need to clear out before going unto your next mission. 2nd - They team up with another lieutenant to ambush you in small alley during one of your side-quests or one of your rounds of the city.
What is the genre of the game (horror, adventure, sci-fi, etc)? A nice balance between a gory horror game and an action game ala DMC (wihout the style mechanic)
How long is the game? 25-35 hours.
Potential DLCs (story, costumes, new playable character(s))?
Costumes: Blade 1 & 2 movies suits, Earth-616, Blade anime
Cameos? Spider-Man, Morbius and Daredevil.
Visual style (give examples with photos recommended if not clear)?
A mix between Evil Within 2 and Devil May Cry 5.
Original or Exisiting story? Original.
Origin or Veteran? Veteran. Origins is given through lore exposure and certain side-missions.
Main enemy/enemies? The pure-Vampire lieutenants want to unleash a plague on humanity (with a tease for Dracula at the end)
Upgradable character (skill tree)? No skill tree, but unlockable fighting moves and upgradable weapons.
The other one I would like to see: Daredevil
Why? The only game we could have got based on him was cancelled due to the studio closure (the old SCE and Marvel of yore didn't agree on how to do things with this game and it suffered a lot because of it).
What kind of game would it be?
An open-world adventure game where you can both play Matt Murdock and Daredevil. During the day, you play as a lawyer (think Phoenix Attorney and LA Noire) and helping victims of thugs (side-activities you missed). At night, you play as Daredevil cleaning as much as you can before daytime. Helps with blocked investigations or with gathering information about The Hand.
What is the genre of the game (horror, adventure, sci-fi, etc)? Action adventure
How long is the game? 15-30 hours, where 15-20h is the main path while the rest is to complete the side-content.
Potential DLCs (story, costumes, new playable character(s))?
Costumes: Netflix suits, Red on Black suit, Daredevil suit from Spider-Man 90s cartoon
Story: Major The Defenders story arc (teased throughout the game with phone calls and meet up with certain members in the base game) + The Punisher is wanted dead, you help him out of prison as both Matt Murdock and Daredevil.
Cameos? Blade and Spider-Man
Visual style (give examples with photos recommended if not clear)?
Spider-Man Into the Spider-verse or the Netflix grounded look.
Origin or Veteran? Mid-veteran (still trying to figure out how to balance his day life and his night life)
Main enemy/enemies? The Hand, Kingpin, The Punisher (until you help him later)
Upgradable character (skill tree)? Yes. With 3 branches:Traversal, Stealth, Combat. Can intertwine too. Skills points are maxed after 2 branches are completed, the final one can be done in a New Game plus (skippable/fastforward cutscenes, more xps, less skill points, enemies tougher). Can also improve his fighting stats (strength, endurance, stamina, speed) day or night with boxing or martial arts. Learn new combat and grapple moves from these places.
