Marvel wants to make a The Defenders game; also wants Marvel indie games later

Look. I don't give a fuck about Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite, and from the looks of things neither does the FGC. It barely even looks good. So no, I won't just settle for a Daredevil/Iron Fist "appearance" when I coul get an actual Defenders game.
Marvel's game division is sounding like it knows wtf its talking about, and you sound like the kind of guy who thinks WB should "just make Batman movies, everyone likes those".
A co-op Defenders game doesn't sound good at all. I don't really see how this game can come out good.

A Commandos/Shadow Tactics style could be cool IMO. You already got the tank, the stealth ninja, the fast hitting crowd control guy. JJ could be for smaller groups with less powerful weapons while Cage would be the one you use to distract and tank on heavily armed/armored enemies
And seriously, Absolver team doing Iron Fist would be awesome. Going by early impressions and footage, they know how to do slick hard-hitting flowing martial arts combat better than most
I don't think that would fit the tone.
I know this is the style of the time, but an arkham style game with character switching , might actually be dope.
Avengers is confirmed, Guardians is rumored.

This is the only Defenders I want, but it's unfortunately not gonna happen.
Would fit a lot of characters. Valkyrie, Devil Slayer, Manslaughter, Cadaver, Hellcat, etc

I would love for every bad guy that dies to say, "You're the worst Iron Fist ever!"
I don't care about MVC:I and would like to see a fucking Defenders game.
But the previous guy was a crackhead and abandoned his blind daughter

Never seen somebody be so wrong. The Defenders was my favorite team-up growing up. Switching between Daredevil, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones and Iron Fist offers so many unique gameplay opportunities and a chance for "lesser known" characters to get their own presence in a game.
Shoving them in MvC:I makes little sense and means that they're confined to the gameplay style of a fighter, something that these characters deserve more than.

Now I want to make a Gwenpool JRPG.
And again I ask, why not both?
You mean the side scroller beat em up, or The arkham
the latter, sure. The former, What I mean by tone the kind of dark tone they are trying to present with the netflix stuff
EXACTLY!!!! So many things can be done particularly with his abilities.

I want one where you plan your infiltration Rainbow Six style. Then bust in and murder everyone Hotline Miami like.

Won't be long before this happens.

I would love for a Daredevil game with his senses being the primary visuals, like in the comics. Loud noises like gunfire could distort what you "see" and shit like that.The whole game plays in detective mode switched on.

Defenders isn't really the most difficult thing to give good combat to, why are you so against it? ><
Edit: Also Rockstar doesn't give a fuck about the Punisher. The size of GTA now means they'll probably stick to their own games forever now.

Somebody give me a Daredevil game with Arkham gameplay at night...

The Runaways by Nintendo.
Have Cloak & Dagger and New Warriors appears in-game.
No idea what kind of game it could be though. Some sort of fun, actiony 4v4 multiplayer game? Something to lean into the co-op/mp nature of the device.
How about the Champions, or would they be more up Atlus' alley?
Because you would have to focus on multiple characters instead of just one. Won't be able to flesh out characters. Also Luke Cage & Jessica Jones are quite boring in comparison to Daredevil & Iron Fist. A co-op Defenders game just isn't where it is at.
Far as I understand hey still have the rights to all their characters for any non-live action media.
All of this characters rights thing doesn't affect videogames. Marvel can use any character they want in any game they want.

Give me Iron Fist with Joycon Motion control and HD Rumble.
I'll then use my pro controller to play the game.
Correct, Marvel just chooses to focus on the MCU-friendly characters for games.
All 3 of the teams I mentioned have TV shows coming out next year - I feel like they'd want to lean into that.
Especially The Runaways - the team behind it is very good, from the TV creators to the creators of the source material.
They'ed be better off doing Iron Fist.

Just movie rights. They can use Silver Surfer whenever they want as long as its not in a movie.
The problem is, its the same situation as all of the X-Men. Marvel isn't interested in promoting the FOX owned movie characters.

That would mean that Marvel has to give a shit about X-Men. And that's not happening anytime soon.
It's one thing to add them as DLCs to some other games, but to have an entire game about X-Men? Nah, I don't think Marvel would go that far.
That's the problem. Kinda Funny talked about this, this morning. Once Tim & Greg got this news, the majority of their ideas involved X-Men. It just shows you the thirst there is for an X-Men game of some sort.

What about my X-Men game tho.
Still banned from new games.
Maybe when the games they are working on right now reach the end of their life cycles, they'll pull a Future Fight and add the X-Men for one last burst of cash.

Marvel has no idea what they are talking about when they say they want indie games, do they?
This platinum meme will never die. They seriously make the worst licensed games. I don't get why anyone would want them near this.
