Sponsored by Jam City. #Ad They're ALIVE in our world! Battle dinosaurs today in Jurassic World Alive on your mobile device or tablet: jamcity.me/austineruption I sure love me some Superhero video games. Like, we keep going back to them on this channel, y'all seem to dig watching it and my descent into westaboo continues. What are some good or Forgotten Super Hero games you played? Or the first? Also, if you have any comic book recommendations, I AM ALWAYS LOOKING FOR ME. Huge X-Men guy, wanting to get more into DC too. Lemme know you beautiful goobers.
Jed McKay has been killing it on Moon Knight the past few years, I'd highly recommend that run. Ryan North's Fantastic Four has been out for a little over half a year now (so probably a trade out or about to come out soon?) and you can tell he just gets the characters; really great writing there. Anything Al Ewing touches is gold but his recent Ant-Man and Wasp minis were both really fun and great looks at the history of both characters. Keep making great videos, I love your work! 💯
Deadpool (2013) is great & I refuse to believe otherwise. The thought bubble bridge is a perfect example of how the game took advantage of the medium to make a Deadpool game.
The Deadpool game was super underrated and I'm depressed that we will probably never get another one. Deadpool is doomed to cameos in mid games like Midnight Suns for the foreseeable future.
The gameplay itself was pretty janky and probably could’ve used another QA test or two, but it captured the spirit and charm of the Deadpool comics perfectly. And it’s a large shame you can’t play it nowadays without hunting down a physical copy due to being delisted.
Deadpool is still one of my all time favorite licensed games, up there with Batman Arkham series and Spider-Man. I think the combat system was really fun because of how much variation you had with all the different melee weapons, guns, and sub weapons like bear trap and the writing was fun to me bc I will always be a teenager at heart
feels really weird to say "Nolan North matched Ryan Reynolds" when Nolan really set the bar for Deadpool in MVC3. so i was super glad he reprised that role for the Deadpool game. if anything i think Ryan just really nailed his own take of the character. as you said, Nolan goes hog wild with the role and its fucking great. Ryan is reeled back a lot more, but its still Deadpool. also that game could only be batshit insane. aside form it getting rather difficult near the end, it was just about everything i was expecting from a modern Deadpool game after what i had learned about the current era of the character at that time. its not the best game, but its pretty fun and very entertaining and VERY Deadpool.
I find it really surprising we never got a sequel to the Deadpool game: the gameplay may not have been all there, but the writing was definitely something to be😂
Unfortunately the developers, High Moon Studios, got swallowed up by Activision and are toiling in the Call of Duty mines. Same with Beenox who made Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions and Edge of Time.
Honestly, I enjoyed the 2005 Fantastic 4 videogame a lot. Still a childhood gem of mine. Nice to see someone give it some attention and actually not think of it as too bad :D
Hell yeah dude that game is awesome!! Unlocking costumes and an entire extra story set in the comic books was so cool, and breaking a mummy in two and then beating the top to death with their own legs sure was brutal I love the soundtrack too, it's great!
My buddy's first job in the game industry was working on the Deadpool game at High Moon. The main thing I remember him mentioning was how much of a pain it was changing all of the shaders to work with skin and other non-metallic objects since whatever engine they were using had been setup for Transformers games. I feel bad for never actually playing it XD Though I did buy it, so support?
I still consider that support. I don't enjoy stardew valley myself but I bought it a couple of times to support the creator because he seems like a genuinely nice guy
Y'know what is wild? Volition were going to make an open World Sequel, had a proof of concept and LOADS of assets made before they couldn't lock down the license. Y'know what they did with ALL the work in progress? They made Saints Row 😂 now IMAGINE that series as a Punisher game where you're going around "Stillwater" butchering 3 Gangs on a Map... God I would have LOVED to see a finished product from that first version pitched. I feel like if you added those Police Fleeing Mechanics from Scarface they would have a GOLD game on their hands.
X-Men Legends was the first marvel licensed game I ever played, and honestly they're still pretty good for a 3rd person action rpg. When I was a kid I didn't really get how the equipment and stat systems worked so I got stuck on the part with the Morlocks.
Edge of Time still has a place in my heart. It has the best version of 2099 Spidey to this day, and a great character arc about him learning what it means to be Spider-Man while being the complete opposite of Peter
I do miss movie tie in games. Most of them weren’t the best. But for some reason there was something about being able to play a game around the time a new movie released. That made it feel enticing.
Definitely helped cement memories of a certain time or movie. I played all the movie tie in games for Fantastic Four and Spider-Man as well as the X-Men Legends series. The MCU tie in games were really bad tho
My first 'marvel super hero game' was probably Marvel vs Capcom at a local arcade. I had a NES and some of the marvel games on that, but the only reason I had the NES was because my family was convinced that people at the arcade would try and get me hooked on drugs and into joining a gang.
About the graphical style of Avengers in Galactic Storm; I believe they're aping Rare's "Advanced Computer Modeling", or "ACM", pioneered in Donkey Kong Country. I.E. 3D models converted to sprites.
Yeah or even pre-rendered sprites could work I think? Definitely not 2d Sega Saturn art since 2D saturn art was usually top tier for the time (hell even now lol)
I managed to get ahold of the Xbox One version of Deadpool a while back (yeah, I know I backed the wrong horse there. I’m on PlayStation now though). I thought the writing was pretty good, but I thought the enemies could’ve used more variety. You got the whole X-Men lore at your disposal, and all the potential the mutant concept comes with, and you fight literal clones throughout the whole game.
The very first superhero game I played was the Spider-Man 1 movie tie-in game for the original Xbox. I never got a chance to play Spider-Man 2, completely missed that one.
This is a great video. I watch a lot of these, and there's a lot of cringe, and hate on the old games. You sound authentic, like you're not reading straight from script, and give some love to the oldies. Well done man.
I remember playing the first Spider-Man game on the PS1 (back before the first film even released), and going from just fighting baddies on rooftops to having this huge, sprawling sandbox game like in Spider-Man PS4 has to be one of the biggest jumps I’ve ever seen, lemme tell ya.
spider-man: friend or foe was my first marvel video game, and one of my first video games ever. my brother and i would play it on our wii all the time, and we loved it (mostly because our spider-man obsession was at its peak). it was also one of the rare games in which we actually wanted to be player 2.
Ultimate Spider-Man & Spider-Man Friend or Foe are two of my top-tier favorites. Even though F&F wasn't clicking with my friends because the EZ infinite combo loop. The game is great but too easy
Volition's The Punisher was awesome! Played it on the PC and it was one of my favourite games at the time. Such a shame that we don't get any Punisher games now... especially that the TV series was good.
Galactic Storm is just pre-rendered, but they left in way too many highlights/reflections. So it looks weird and blown out, and not in accordance with lighting intensity. The better pre-rendered stuff keeps highlight intensity lower so the white balance or whatever else looks right or even has dark graphics/environments - DKC, RE, Viewpoint, or even MK etc with digitized, rendered photographs and paintings and stuff. Thats my understanding at least, a 3D artist could give a better breakdown im sure.
If you’re looking into good miniature games to try Malifaux is one of my favorites, awesome lore, and pretty cheap to start playing as you don’t need many models, only thing is some of the models are difficult to assemble
I still love Deadpool the Game to this day! I still have the PS4 physical copy which I think it's very rare to this day. Sure, it's a big bastardization of Deadpool's character as it's leaning totally on the comedic side of Deadpool, but it never bothered me and it's a pleasant and funny game to play even after years - and let's be honest, the speech bubbles are top comedy material😂
The "evil" versions would be their doppelgangers from Infinity War (the comic book event that was a follow up to Infinity Gauntlet, not the movie that is based on the latter). Galactic Storm uses prerendered graphics ala Donkey Kong Country (i.e., 3D models converted into sprites). Blade's not a vampire, but instead a dhampir which is a human vampire hybrid (thus he doesn't have some of the weaknesses other than needing to drink blood).
Spider-Man was HUGE in Asia, specifically Japan. Just look up Supaidaman. He was arguably more popular there than it was in America during the late 70s.
Great video. While I haven't played any of those featured, I want to play a couple just to experience them and make up my own opinion on them. Another little thing I love is that the voice of Rogue in Mutant Academy 2 was/is Megan Fahlenbock, the voice of Gwen in Total Drama (and, perfectly enough, just like Gwen, the version of Rogue in the animated series X-Men: Evolution, airing around the same time, was goth).
I have no idea why but, for some reason when you were talking about The Punisher, I got him and The Phantom mixed up in my head. I don't even know which Comic company had The Phantom. There's nothing similar about them other than they both start with the letter P.
Xmen Mutant Apocalypse was technically my first, but the one I remember more was my second marvel game, spiderman 2 enter electro. I only remember playing as Gambit and fighting a Sentinel head as wolverine
Man, you just unlocked a core childhood memory with that X-Men Mutant Academy. I remember getting my ass whooped by every character. Time to go back and prove to myself that I'm a better gamer now
Now that you said at the end about painting figurines, I was listening to this video while finishing painting a Gundam model, I'm still learning, but it is a great hobby.
First superhero game I can remember playing was Spider-Man on the SNES. Knowing nothing at the time about the silver Spider-Armor that you can get as a powerup in that game blew my mind once I did for the first time.
I think my first Marvel game had to be Spider-Man and X-Men: Arcade's Revenge. Hard as hell but kinda fun. Even if half the game was was impossible and i never beat it or beat anything beyond Spidey's and Wolverine's first stage
I recently heard more and more about the japanese exclusive spider-man. I hope this means someone will make a fan port of the game with mod support or something. (Asking for a lot here lmao)
I remember not having many licensed games growing up. I had a Harry Potter game for gba but when I was like 13 I found out about Spider-Man shattered dimensions a year or so after release. I did everything to find that game and eventually my dad went to an eb games and asked the guy for it and I remember him calling me for the name of the game. I was so hyped waiting for him to come home to play that gem.
That game shut down like a week after I reached max level, made me so sad. You could actually hook up a controller on console and play it 2 player Ultimate Alliance style. I’d always be Spider-man and my brother would be Deadpool. Definitely a shame we lost this game.
As a kid, I had the Deadpool game on PS3 and it was a great experience. I understand that it may not have had a great reception and I'll bow to my peers on that one but as a kid, I really didn't have a lot of understanding on how people saw the game so I went in just loving what I loved. Is it cringe? Yes. Is Deadpool cringe as a concept? Also yes. So the weird aspects i could clearly just look to the comics I had at the time and draw a lot of comparisons. So overall a fun time!
I feel compelled to tell you: the Deadpool you see in the game is mostly inspired by Danial Ways version. Joe Kelly (writer of his first ongoin) while far from perfect paints a pretty tragic character. The movies are a little more J.K then D.Way.
My NES came with The Legend of Zelda, Maniac Mansion, and Captain America andThe Avengers. That's my first Marvel game. And it dug it's way deep into my gaming psyche 😁😁
I once got to attend a presentation about game devcelopment co-hosted by one of the Deadpool project leads after he had left High Moon. He said that they basically had a "throw shit at the wall and see what sticks" approach to making that game, and that the only thing that ended up getting cut was a segment where Deadpool fights a T-rex. He also said that Deadpool was a game that came out too early, because while he had that meme appeal and was popular in the comics, he was still pretty niche outside of that small demographic, and since the Deadpool movie was still a few years off, there was no way to appeal to the normie crowd who's only exposure to the character was X-Men Origins Wolverine.
Austin, you are one of the most consistently entertaining and respectable TH-camrs out there. I really appreciate everything you make. Keep going strong.
So many Marvel video games have been over the past 30 plus years. Despite all the good, there’s also the bad and the downright obscure. It’s interesting to see these old games again.
It's technically canon that all of these games are official marvel universes. The fun part is imagining how they connect. Do all hulk games share a continuity? Are all the LJN games in the same universe? Are ports to other systems their own universes?
Spider-Man and Spider-Man/X-Men Arcade’s Revenge (both on Genesis) were my first Marvel games. The latter I much preferred. You’re not the only old one here Austin
Marvel Ultimate Alliance (2006) is literally the reason i love comic books and superheros as a whole. For better or worse, i love that game dearly no matter how outdated it is
Fun Fact: Punisher was ment to have a sequel, called Punisher 2 : Sandbox Punishment. Volition talked about it on a stream, showing a pitch trailer. They had plans for it to run in Saints Row's engine and have a open world Hells Kitchen, and possibly have Daredevil make a cameo. Sadly, it never got greenlit but lots of it's gameplay ideas and some planned missions made it into Saints Row.
High Moon was one of my favorite video game studios growing up. they turned me from a bay verse TF fan to reading the comics and all just from playing the games.
The first console I ever owned was the original PlayStation so if I remember correctly, my first Marvel game was Spider-Man. You all know which one. That game is a true classic and is the reason I still remember the original Spider-Man theme song the whole way through. I even remember replaying it the most when wearing the Scarlett Spider suit, but I don't remember why I used it so often. Still all in all, that game is one of my favorite games on the PlayStation as well as one of my favorite games ever.
The first marvel game I remember playing as a kid was the Punisher Nes game. I had 0 idea what was going on and just played until I got killed or bored. Ill see myself back to the retirement home now 👴
Probably Spider-Man 2 on ps2! I vividly remember going up against Mysterio and making him basically cry after beating him. It only takes one punch to beat him lol, good stuff.
My first super hero game was the batman plug and play TV game, I remember begging my dad for it and I got it for my birthday, that must have been around 2004 give or take, such a great game
I used to love playing Mutant Academy 2! There was an exploit with Cyclops I always use. He had an infinite special that trap someone in the corner with. 😂
@@austineruption I saw them the first time in San Antonio around 2005-ish when it was still Yellow, Blue, and Red. And then a bunch more times when they would come to ATX. I still have my signed P-Bone Steak cd.

Play X-men Origins Wolverine uncaged. It's the best comic game, and absolutely does good ol' Wolvy justice.

i was expecting from a modern Deadpool game after what i had learned about the current era of the character at that time.
its not the best game, but its pretty fun and very entertaining and VERY Deadpool.
Nolan going utter nuts-to-butts insane with his voice work is my absolute favorite work of his like with Richtofen

Never released on Switch either.
A combination of the studio becoming a call of duty factory and marvel ending their relationship with Activision

I recently heard more and more about the japanese exclusive spider-man. I hope this means someone will make a fan port of the game with mod support or something. (Asking for a lot here lmao)
I remember not having many licensed games growing up. I had a Harry Potter game for gba but when I was like 13 I found out about Spider-Man shattered dimensions a year or so after release. I did everything to find that game and eventually my dad went to an eb games and asked the guy for it and I remember him calling me for the name of the game. I was so hyped waiting for him to come home to play that gem.
Bro Imma start calling Austin the sniper. Cuz he never misses
man i love your videos. thank you for adding so much humor to game reviews
The Marvel game that seems forgotten that I miss the most is Marvel Heroes. That game was not the best, but it was so much fun.
That game shut down like a week after I reached max level, made me so sad. You could actually hook up a controller on console and play it 2 player Ultimate Alliance style. I’d always be Spider-man and my brother would be Deadpool. Definitely a shame we lost this game.
X-Men games were always so damn cool bring back X-Men!!!
Deadpool PC was a fun game. We need more games like it.
I seriously love the marvel vs capcom when I was a kid (especially 2 new age of heroes!)
Does anyone remember “Ultimate alliance”?
bought 1 and 2 and both were awesome games. 3 eventually came much later but by then the momentum for that particular series had died down.
Insomniac’s Spider-man ran my childhood. It had cameos , Easter eggs, and Stan Lee as an announcer. Excelsior!
As a kid, I had the Deadpool game on PS3 and it was a great experience. I understand that it may not have had a great reception and I'll bow to my peers on that one but as a kid, I really didn't have a lot of understanding on how people saw the game so I went in just loving what I loved. Is it cringe? Yes. Is Deadpool cringe as a concept? Also yes. So the weird aspects i could clearly just look to the comics I had at the time and draw a lot of comparisons. So overall a fun time!
I feel compelled to tell you: the Deadpool you see in the game is mostly inspired by Danial Ways version. Joe Kelly (writer of his first ongoin) while far from perfect paints a pretty tragic character. The movies are a little more J.K then D.Way.
Spider-Man on the PS1 was my first
The complete disrespect I am hearing for Deadpool. That game is a masterpiece
I loved both of those x-men Sega games. They were so dope.
My NES came with The Legend of Zelda, Maniac Mansion, and Captain America andThe Avengers. That's my first Marvel game. And it dug it's way deep into my gaming psyche 😁😁
Spiderman: Separation Anxiety on the Sega was my first foray into superhero games, and where my Venom obsession started.
I once got to attend a presentation about game devcelopment co-hosted by one of the Deadpool project leads after he had left High Moon.
He said that they basically had a "throw shit at the wall and see what sticks" approach to making that game, and that the only thing that ended up getting cut was a segment where Deadpool fights a T-rex.
He also said that Deadpool was a game that came out too early, because while he had that meme appeal and was popular in the comics, he was still pretty niche outside of that small demographic, and since the Deadpool movie was still a few years off, there was no way to appeal to the normie crowd who's only exposure to the character was X-Men Origins Wolverine.
My best friend and I played through and really liked that Fantastic Four game as kids. Always wondered how well it actually held up. Lol
Sega Master System gang represent! Penguin Land and Missile Command 3D were my jam back in the day.
Master System ftw haven't tested mine in years so don't know if it still works lol
Austin, you are one of the most consistently entertaining and respectable TH-camrs out there. I really appreciate everything you make. Keep going strong.
So many Marvel video games have been over the past 30 plus years. Despite all the good, there’s also the bad and the downright obscure. It’s interesting to see these old games again.
It's technically canon that all of these games are official marvel universes. The fun part is imagining how they connect. Do all hulk games share a continuity? Are all the LJN games in the same universe? Are ports to other systems their own universes?
Spider-Man and Spider-Man/X-Men Arcade’s Revenge (both on Genesis) were my first Marvel games. The latter I much preferred. You’re not the only old one here Austin
Marvel Ultimate Alliance (2006) is literally the reason i love comic books and superheros as a whole. For better or worse, i love that game dearly no matter how outdated it is
Fun Fact: Punisher was ment to have a sequel, called Punisher 2 : Sandbox Punishment.
Volition talked about it on a stream, showing a pitch trailer. They had plans for it to run in Saints Row's engine and have a open world Hells Kitchen, and possibly have Daredevil make a cameo.
Sadly, it never got greenlit but lots of it's gameplay ideas and some planned missions made it into Saints Row.
Yes! Maximum Carnage was one of my first superhero games. I now have it on emulator, and it is sooooo much less frustrating with save states.
I don't know what my first marvel game was, but i know fate and the universe is against me ever playing MvC2 for some reason 😞
Any time we get to talk about those Genesis X-Men games is a good day, as far as I'm concerned.
High Moon was one of my favorite video game studios growing up. they turned me from a bay verse TF fan to reading the comics and all just from playing the games.
Im glad someone talked about how fun the original f4 game on ps2 is.
I have a weird soft spot for that Deadpool game. My brother loved it.
Subtitles with punctuation _and_ inflection? You spoil us, Austin!
Ultimate alliance is seared into my brain forever
one of my earliest memories i have is playing mutant academy 2 on PS1 and also Spider-Man. i loved those games
Lmaooo that jab at Chris Evans after the fact he came back as Johnny in Deadpool and Wolverine
Those early PlayStation and Dreamcast Marvel games were so awesome.
The first console I ever owned was the original PlayStation so if I remember correctly, my first Marvel game was Spider-Man. You all know which one. That game is a true classic and is the reason I still remember the original Spider-Man theme song the whole way through.
I even remember replaying it the most when wearing the Scarlett Spider suit, but I don't remember why I used it so often. Still all in all, that game is one of my favorite games on the PlayStation as well as one of my favorite games ever.
The first marvel game I remember playing as a kid was the Punisher Nes game. I had 0 idea what was going on and just played until I got killed or bored. Ill see myself back to the retirement home now 👴
My first super hero game was X-Men for the original GameBoy!
I remember that Punisher arcade game ❤Tha ks for the nostalgia Austin
Probably Spider-Man 2 on ps2! I vividly remember going up against Mysterio and making him basically cry after beating him. It only takes one punch to beat him lol, good stuff.
My first super hero game was the batman plug and play TV game, I remember begging my dad for it and I got it for my birthday, that must have been around 2004 give or take, such a great game
my first marvel game was X-Men Mutant Apocalypse for the SNES. Hard as hell but lots of fun!
I used to love playing Mutant Academy 2! There was an exploit with Cyclops I always use. He had an infinite special that trap someone in the corner with. 😂
My band got to play with peelander z long time ago. Super fun.
I love them! Saw them all around ATX over the last decade
@@austineruption I saw them the first time in San Antonio around 2005-ish when it was still Yellow, Blue, and Red. And then a bunch more times when they would come to ATX. I still have my signed P-Bone Steak cd.
@@austineruption I played with them in San Antonio I think but I can't remember. Keep up the good work and best wishes.
