Sega Debuting Iron Man II Game, More At Comic-Con

@Natazu:

sometimes, you have to do things you are not exactly proud of. you know, orders from above...

@tehdorkz:

we have to admit you try to be polite, and you almost got it right, just the next time remember to replace "good games" with "games that interest me".

other than that, it warms my heart to see comments like this.

Hopefully they'll make a good game this time around since they can just use the same model and animation from the first one.



It wasn't as bad as Superman Returns, but it was pretty bad.

I just hope the PC version of Iron Man 2 is not a port of the crappy PS2/Wii version. I was sorely disappointed by the graphics but I loved the game play immensely.

@ngamesnick: I'm not saying that. I'm saying games like JSR and Fatal Frame won't sell like they would on the 360 or the PS3. The average Wii owner is either very young or elderly. Most Wii owners will just skip over these titles for some other shovelware that's on the console. That gimmicky control scheme won't work with certain games, I really don't picture it working very well with Fatal Frame, but I could be wrong. I'm not hating on the Wii, I owned one at one point, but sold it because the lack of good titles and because looking for good titles was too frustrating because of all the crap I had to sift through to find something worth playing.

@tehdorkz: Wait, good games don't belong on the Wii?

@develin: I love the PSO series personally, I've put thousands of hours into the original Dreamcast version, it was just a formula that Sega got absolutely right. Sonic Team used to do great work, but I guess the celebrations got too big and they all took one too big a line of coke out of the hookers buttcrack and now theyre all mentally stupid. I'd like to see a return of Smilebit but..god knows what's happened to them.

@Natazu: I know it hurts buddy...it's okay..let it out

@Hardcore: Who knows, it does seem that movie games are getting somewhat better, the Wolverine game was a lot of fun, and from what I've heard the movie was god awful. It's nice to see effort put into a movie game every once in a while.

@tommyscomics: Yeah I know, a lot of the best games seem to be going onto the wii where they don't belong, the saddest loss was Fatal Frame. Jet Set Radio could work with those stupid waggle controls, but it just wouldn't be the same experience as the previous two games.

I was going to say something, but I reminded myself that the Daytona USA 3 reveal is being saved for the JAMMA expo...

@tehdorkz: As much as I want to see either of those games (well with the exception of PSO - I want a REAL PS game), I have hopes for Iron Main 2.



The first games was severely limited by the lack of time, now they could build on what they already have. E.g. the look of the game wasn't bad.



If they fail on this one as well, I will add the studio to my "must avoid" list though.

Go Sega!

develin

Once I get in the industry..Things will change...Starting with SEGA...

@tehdorkz: IF (big "if") they do a Jet Set Radio remake its gonna be on the wii.

@puresewas1de: "Sega! Focus on a Valkyria Chronicles for PS3! Not another crappy Iron Man game."



Fixed.

@tehdorkz: The first was absolutely terrible. It was hilarious, mind you, just not in a way the developers intended.

@puresewas1de: Do you HONESTLY believe that Valkyria Chronicles 2 is capable of selling over 2.3 million copies? REALLY?



'Cuz Iron Man DID, collectively across all platforms....as opposed to a PS3 exclusive with niche appeal. Advertising costs alone are better spread (which is why you saw plenty of commercials for IM, but VK was purely targeted at its primary audience).

WizarDru

@tehdorkz: Sonic's still cool...eh, who am i kidding. :(

@tehdorkz: You'd be surprised. I enjoyed the Iron Man game immensely.

Hardcore

@SacGamer: Retort: I rather loved the storytelling method. The plot itself was where things fell apart.

@Atomsk88: The story was honestly the worst part of the game IMO. It's dumb how storytelling is handled in the game. I hate how instead of getting to explore the world and such you just read from a book.

SacGamer

PLEASE PLEASE SEGA, GET IT FUCKING RIGHT THIS TIME

@Trey: Ghostbusters is about as close as they'll get for some time to come, I'd imagine.

Chris Morrison

@puresewas1de: Additionally, they need to port Valkyria Chronicles to additional systems so the game has the fighting chance it deserves.

Chris Morrison

Oh great, another video game movie. Despite how I know it will probably suck, I will still end up renting it.

@cutechao999: Because Sonic isn't politically correct and hates hippies and yuppies and other people who drive the Toyota Prius.



At least, that's what I'd like to think, you know, from back in the day when Sonic was cool.

Yeah yeah yeah, how about something GOOD from Sega, Jet Set Radio perhaps? (and NOT on the Wii), Shenmue (if only), or for the love of God Phantasy Star Online (NOT Universe, it is teh suck).



I don't even know if the first Iron Man game was any good, I'm going to guess not as the trend seems to be with most video game movies. Nothing that they're premiering looks very interesting really. I don't know what happened to the company, it's like they just kind of gave up on everything.

@notquitedeadyet: Actually it's not popular, the sales were pretty rubbish.

@notquitedeadyet: Playing the demo alone won't give you much of an understanding why people love Valkyria Chronicles. All the demo really does is show how the gameplay typically plays out, not much in regards to the story, characters, and overall atmosphere.



The gameplay does evolve and is also enjoyable from a strategic perspective (sorta), but as far as the popularity of the game goes, you have to hand it to the story and all the characters involved.



VEGETABLES!

Atomsk88

@Mit: Then I wish that team would work on a new Jet Grind Radio or Shenmue (a man can dream). I don't think anyone really wants a new Iron Man game.

@Đipic: True, the demo is not the entire game. It's way too easy to the point I could beat it with my eyes closed.

puresewas1de

@notquitedeadyet: "I'm kinda surprised at how popular Valkyria Chronicles is, I was actually pretty unimpressed from the demo."



...

As cool as it looks, I never got why sonic needs a car.

cutechao999

Hoorah! Maybe this one won't suck!





Oh, what am I saying, that didn't sound convincing at all.

@puresewas1de:

@Trey:

Maybe they'll get it right this time? Have hope! As a lifelong Iron Man fan, the first game made me sad.

OoBaSNoRk

@puresewas1de: I think it's safe to assume the development teams for both of those games are on different sides of the planet, and have zero influence on each other.

@puresewas1de: With Valkyria Chronicles exclusively on the PSP my interest is below zero.

Iron Man Kart Racing Party, featuring over 7 tracks and all the characters you've come to know and love from the Iron Man movies: Tony Stark, Tony Stark as Iron Man, Rhodey, and Pepper. Pre-order for the XBox 360 and get the exclusive Obadiah Stane racing skin. Rated E for Everyone.

Krakn3Dfx

I only played the demo for the first Iron Man, and I wasn't a fan. Which was disappointing, cause I thought the graphics were fantastic. It also Red Ringed my 360, so there's another reason.

CardboardDoom

@puresewas1de: They've already ruined that by putting it on a handheld.

SacGamer

Sega! Focus on Valkyria Chronicles 2! Not another crappy Iron Man game.

puresewas1de

So, Iron Man II. If I recall correctly--no, drop that formality--I remember that the original Iron Man game sucked. How is it that already established, cool characters such as those in the Marvel universe usually have such mediocre gaming outings? You'd think that since the dev doesn't have to come up with a story and character design, they could focus more on gameplay and presentation.



I want to see the day a next-gen (actually, current gen) movie videogame is actually a well made game that could be considered for game of the year. And then, on that very same day, play that game. :P

Tony Stark could have built a better game than the first one, in a cave, with nothing but doritos and silly string.

Well hope it's better than the first game since that was god awful I hope it would be good tried to like it but it just plain sucked

@DLNO-001: thanks, I didn't really mean to come off like that. There are good games on the Wii, but the sad truth is that most of them are terrible, and some games that could have been good, or even great, were ruined by shotty controls or other stupid gimmicks. I've been trying to give everything the benefit of the doubt, but it just seems like the end is near for not just the Wii, but all consoles. Easy profit seems to have taken a higher priority to a making a game of great quality. Granted, this isn't true for all developers and publishers, but it does make sense, why put millions of dollars and thousands of hours into making a great game that only someone who has been playing games for years will enjoy and really appreciate when you can invest a fraction of the money and time into an undeveloped easy money game. This seems most prevalent with the wii, and Nintendo is guilty of it, though not to the same extent of the no name developers that seem to release a new game every week.
