Ghost Rider: The Game(s)

[The Flash!]

Oh jeez I cant wait to see how they will make the game!If it could be a kind of free roam type that would be so sweet.Nic Cage has to voice ofcourse.

 

[Sabretooth]

The game should be free roam. I'd also like interrogations and quick kills similar to The Punisher

 

[GhostRider]

Something just occurred to me. Since the movie's now been put back to Feb 2007, the Playstation 3 will be out. Now, I don't recall the game being confirmed for that platform, but surely they'll have the time to do it now. Plus, Sony have put a lot behind this movie and if it lives up to their expectations, a game tie-in would sell a lot of machines for them.

Can you imagine how cool Ghost Rider would look on PS3?

If the movies coming out in 2007, it would be completely lame if the game was not for the next gen systems.
I suppose this is 1 really good thing coming from the date being pushed back.

Except Ghost Rider doesn't kill...lol.

 

[Sabretooth]

Except Ghost Rider doesn't kill...lol.

Last I checked...he did.

 

[RedIsNotBlue]

Last I checked...he did.

Not humans.

 

[Sabretooth]

Not humans.

Really? Hmmm...He could still do interrogations

 

[RedIsNotBlue]

Really? Hmmm...He could still do interrogations

As far as I know. From the GR comics I have read he only inflicted pain on humans but never purposely killed them.

 

[Advanced Dark]

Except Ghost Rider doesn't kill...lol.

Well it could be an Penance Stare finish to each character and then after you're done each character reacts differently to it. Or who knows GR might actually scare someone so bad they run into traffic or off the top of a building.

 

[FlameHead]

It's certainly going to be interesting to see what they do for the game, considering most top selling games now are all about violence and death. Well, probalby not most but, a heck of a lot of them are.

What's really great is that even though the central character is a flaming headed demon, there is a message in his actions. Murder, Death, Kill is not always the answer. Restoritative Justice works too!

 

[SonOfTheDark]

I hope it won`t be just another crappy movie-game! Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay showed what is possible if you get support from the film stuff and really work hard on the game in case of story and gameplay...

 

["Iron Man"]

Ghost Rider: The Game would be awesome!

 

[InVictus]

Hey! Yesterday i played with an x-box with a friend, at a decent old school scrolling beat em up/action game named Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks...decent graphics, tons of moves, gore, great co op fun (for the fist time from Final Fight actually i dislodged some backhand tendons from toomuch playing i think...)
And guess who's a unlockable secret charachter....Scorpion is not GR, but i think with the firethrower fatality and other moves, this could be very close to a GR game..

 

[Riding Ghost]

And guess who's a unlockable secret charachter....Scorpion is not GR, but i think with the firethrower fatality and other moves, this could be very close to a GR game..

Yeah, I've seen pictures of that. looks cool. Although In reading everything up to date on the game, I've read nothing indicating GR will be able to use fire like that, other than I'm assuming maybe fireballs, since he'll be doing that in the movie.
I was upset that GR, in the movie, will not be using hellfire blasts like in the original comic, though throwing fireballs should be pretty wild stuff. I swear if there is not some way for GR to shoot fire and/or burn souls with hellfire in the game, I'm going to be exceedingly disappointed not to mention pissed The LEAST they could do is have it as a unlockable power you can use a cheat code to use....something damn it!!!! I've looked forward to this game and have been thinking about it since the NES came out. Now that its finally happening, If I can't fry souls or shoot hellfire.......well...what can I do? I suppose I'll have to buy a real flamethrower, but their expensive, hard to maintain, illegal thus hard to find......................but I'll do it if I have to!!!

New Marvel RPG Named
Activision is preparing Marvel Legends for a fight.
by David Adams

February 6, 2006 - As part of its third-quarter earnings conference call today, Activision revealed the official title its upcoming Marvel-based RPG: Marvel Legends.


The title isn't a shock coming from the company that brought us the X-Men Legends series, though it does give gamers something easier to say than "that Marvel RPG thing Activision is working on."

Marvel Legends is developed under an agreement with Marvel Enterprises, allowing Activision to develop an RPG featuring an "ensemble cast" of Marvel characters. Of course, this could mean Spider-man, the X-Men, the Fantastic Four, as well as characters like Ghost Rider, Daredevil, and the Punisher -- a rowdy bunch indeed.

Activision currently expects to ship Marvel Legends after the first quarter of its new fiscal year -- meaning between April 2006 and March 2007.

 

[FlameHead]

Is that the MMORPG? Or is it another one?

Either way, I can't wait. The X-Men Legends games are freakin' awesome. I'm not a big gamer or anything but, I really enjoyed playing those.

 

[InVictus]

I think that's the mmorpg indeed

 

[Quentin Beck]

I hope this game will be free-roam. I'd love to go on the Hell Cycle! Also maybe Villains from other superhero comics could appear. Perhaps Venom or Dr Doom.

 

[webhead731]

I hope this game will be free-roam. I'd love to go on the Hell Cycle!

I agree.

 

[Toxin66]

could you imagine Ghost Rider in the free-roam environment like The Incredible Hulk Total Destruction?? you'd be able to ride the Hellcycle up buidlings and get points for insane stunts off of rooftops. *sigh* one can only dream.....

 

[FlameHead]

I can't see them developing a game any other way really.

I'd also like to see a Midnight Sons version of X-Men Legends as well... Midnight Sons Legends, I guess. That would be so kick ass.

Light shed on Darkness
2K Games revealed as new publisher of comic-based game formerly handled by Majesco, announces release next winter.
As part of its retreat from the front lines of the console wars, Majesco Entertainment last December sold off its rights to a pair of in-development games to a mystery publisher for $8 million.

The mystery was partially solved today as 2K Games today stepped forward as the new publisher of The Darkness, and announced a release date for the project, which should arrive "next winter."

Developed by Starbreeze Studios, the team behind 2004's surprise hit, The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay, The Darkness is based on the Top Cow comic of the same name. The comic follows Jackie Estacado, a mob assassin who, while on a job, acquires a host of black-magic powers, known collectively as "The Darkness." Eisner Award winner Paul Jenkins penned the game's story.

While it's now known what happened to the rights to the Darkness, the other game involved in the Majesco deal, an adaptation of the forthcoming comic-based film Ghost Rider, is still spinning its wheels in limbo. Considering that Majesco announced selling the rights to both games to a single publisher, 2K Games seems a likely candidate to publish the game based on Marvel Comics' spirit of vengeance, but the company is staying mum on the subject. As a 2K rep told GameSpot, "We have only announced Darkness. Anything else is just speculation."

The Darkness is scheduled for release next winter "for next-generation console systems."

[RedIsNotBlue]

So many problems.

 

[FlameHead]

So sad to see. I would seriously consider buying a top notch gaming system for this game. I guess that's one thing good about the news; I wont money that I shouldn't for something so short turm. Let's face it, once the game is finsihed, I probably won't play it anymore.

 

[Uncanny Orb]

Maybe this will put it on the PS3, see what an optimist I am.
