>a game company will pull a marvel cinematic universe but with vidya in your lifetime
Who will it be and how do we prevent vidyashit from becoming a thing?
What the hell are you talking about?
Platonic Games
It is not a bad thing
>>333354467
I mean different IPs of somewhat different genres set within the same universe with varying degrees of references to each other
Think of it like the new COD craze. Instead
>>333354236

It's called King of Fighters you shit.

>>333355573
Not yet, but there will be.
Overwtch is a pretty good candidate desu but blizzard isnt one for standalone games so we wont see a hack n slash featuring Genji and Hanzo with bonus level on them being inducted into Overwatch. You wont get a rhythm game with D-va, you wont get a RTS with Bastion,etc
it will happen, theres too much potential for it not to happen. Nintendo could do it if they wanted to but they are too retarded to think about making profits
>>333354236
But I want to see Forza Car fight RAAM
>>333354913
Nintendo games KINDA are in that they meet up every few years for Smash Bros.
Other than that no other company really owns enough IPs to make having them in the same "universe" worthwhile. Like what, is it gonna turn out that Tomb Raider takes place before Deus Ex or something? Are they gonna tie all the FF and DQ games lore together? There's not really a space for it and COD games aren't really known for their memorable characters and stories.
Shared universe have already been done anon
SMT/DMC
Persona/Catherine
Drakengard/Nier
Half Life/Portal
Just about everything Nintendo puts out
>>333354913
That already happened years ago
DOOM, Wolfenstein, and Commander Keen are all set in the same universe
>>333355782
>>Other than that no other company really owns enough IPs to make having them in the same "universe" worthwhile
>>333354236
>implying /v/ isn't full of the kinds of man children who eat up shit like the mahvel films and ask for more
Also your english is shit.
>>333355953
If that's so, explain TNO and how Doom fits into that?
never played Tom Clancy games but looks like they are across a lot of different franchises, are them related?
>>333355923
Not really, in those cases its just subtle nods or cameos, theres no overarching plot that those games set up towards on top of having 3 more different ips build on that same plot as well
>>333355954
That's only one IP
>>333356121
Persona series doesn't count with it's multiple rpg's, fighting games,rhythm games and recurring characters and themes?
>>333356152
are you retarded
>>333354236
You mean like an oc mc with characters such as Dante from the Devil May Cry series? I had a dream like that. This guy would just go through holes in the ground through accidents in an Alice in Wonderland type of fashion, and out the other end appears a vidya's "world" where the mc has some dialogue and fights in a location. He then accidentally goes into another hole and the process repeats itself. I imagined it as the mc going down the "holes" of a mountain, but he still stayed on the side of the mountain. The mc met Crash, Dante, and in one instance thise bike riders from Downhill Domination started driving on the walls of a "hole" that he fell through, but it was actually some type of cavern. Oh yeah, the other characters could also go through those holes so they can meet the mc again and interact with other ips. I don't know what the hell happened to me the day I dreamt it, since I never have vidya dreams.
>>333354236
Nasuverse is the closest that I can think of

she needs to be in everything

I still kek every time
>>333356419
he'd make literally any game better by being included desu
>>333354236
Ubisoft has already done that, we just need a game that crosses over watch dogs, ass creed, and far cry. They're literally one step away from vidya avengers. Shit, I'm sure there's evidence pointing to division being in that universe too.
>>333356486

>>333356542
Bayo is cool but she should be in the spotlight no matter what.
Dante however works great as a side character who just doesn't give a fuck.
>>333354236
Kingdom hearts?
>>333354236
Heroes of the Storm.
>>333356237
Eh, they can but tis not the type I'm referring to.
With Persona, each game is its own standalone sort of deal, the main event, and then the spinoffs are crossovers but thats all they arem, just spinoffs while waiting for the next persona.
>>333356339
Like it's a game series with a main game and side games for individual characters.
It could work. Like the main games could be a fantasy turn based RPG, and then there would be side games involving individual party members.
They already do this with dlc though, so I don't t know what op is smoking.
>>333356078
>TNO

Doomguy is BJ Blazkowitz' descendant, whom the Cyberdemon attempts revenge on as BJ heavily wounded him in Wolfenstein RPG

>>333354236
How is this a bad thing? Say what you want about the marvel moves but its really cool how they are all connected. Oddworld did pretty much that and it was fucking cool.
>>333356121
Nier/Drakengard has major plot connection and will have more in Nier Automata
>>333356816
except for the part where Elizabeth is still trying to save door kun and it's brought up in Arena and probably in Q
sounds like you're just being extremely picky

tell us why that doesn't count

Well, i literally really dont care.

What are you worried about? You're already a pathetic weeblord shitposting pile of cancer, ready to slurp up the most poorly made weeb fanservice sim next on the market.
You have literally no say on standards and quality in media, period.
>>333354236
what the fuck is that a picture of.
>>333354236
I always thought that ubisoft might do something like that combine Rainbow Six, Ghost Recon and Splinter Cell that would've been nice back when Chaos Theory was realeased but not now.
>>333356687
I see your point actually
>>333357126

You guys, what op means is if this. Say a dev company starts their studio and makes a game for each of these fighters starring them. Karate fighter, Bomber fighter, Animal fighter, Magic fighter, and Gun fighter. Then in one big game, all these new ips are put into one big game that's supposed to be the one where they join up/meet each other and go on an adventure and defeat shit.
>>333356237
Maybe I am retarded because I've never played KoF, I was under the impression it was just one series. Explain it to me.
>>333357279
King of fighters?
Marvel vs capcom?
How many fucking game developers have franchises within a single interconnected universe?
>inb4 valve
>implying valve develops anymore
>>333357338
Wait, now I'm double retarded because I didn't see this post
>>333356384
directly afterward
OP here, some of you are a little confused and think im just talking about crossovers like smash or HotS. I'm talking about full blown video game equivalent of marvel cinematic universe
It doesnt even have to be established IPs, could be entirely new ones never seen before and like I said each game wouldnt even need to be the same genre, that way the devs keep revenue from both popular and niche markets while keeping both sides entertained and entranced and looking forward to the build up crossover that maybe wont even be a fighting game for once.
>>333354236Super Robot Wars has been a thing for decades. There are now two Project X Zone games.
>>333357454
Not OP here, I think you might have missed this important fact >>333357095
>>333357189
>>333354236
Does Ninja Gaiden and DOA count?
Because I love both those games and how they're connected
>>333357354
Not exactly that kind of crossover. Not one where it's just a fighting game or a party game, but one where there's an actual story and expands on the world that they live in. Kind of like a JRPG would do.
>>333357539
except the part where I said they dont need to be pre-existing
>>333357378
What about all the DnD games out there. Technically they all occur in a shared multiverse.
>>333356121
>Implying Marvel Universe has an overarching plot and not just a hodge podge of different writers for each movie just pulling shit out of their asses.

>>333357670
>Daredevil is somehow a thing when Captain America is literally like 3 blocks away
>>333357496
Not op, but fuck I forgot about Super Robot Wars. All I know is that Martian Successor Nadesico is in it and Gai can survive.
>>333357670
maybe for the first phase but that was mostly in case everything didnt work out
>>333357605
FUCKING
KING

DOES
THAT
>>333357605
So you want an exact copy of the MCU
not just a shared universe like the comics
but MCU
so
Individual Movie (crossover tease)
Individual Movie (crossover tease)
Individual Movie (crossover tease)
Crossover Movie (No throwaway plots)
Individual Movie (Crossover plot still relevant)
Individual Movie (Crossover plot still relevant
Individual Movie (Crossover plot still relevant
Crossover Movie 2 (No throwaway plots)
Does this count?
>>333357765
>Stark Towers also in New York City
>Spoderman able to websling across Manhattan in about 5 minutes
>Xavier's school somewhere in New England with a fucking stealth supersonic jet
>Matt Murdock's dumbass creates the Ninja Turtles by knocking that radioactive shit into the sewers
There is literally no reason Daredevil should even be a thing.
>>333357920
MCU doesnt share a universe with the comics though
>>333357910
FUCKING NIGGER YOU KNOW WHAT HE MEANS. HE WANTS A FULL ON VIDYA THAT'S NOT A FIGHTING GAME/PARTY GAME. ONE WITH CUTSCENES, HOT SPRING SCENES, AND THE BEATING OF ONE OF THE FIGHTERS BECAUSE THE OTHER FIGHTERS THOUGHT HE WAS PEEKING IN ON THEM WHEN HE'S NO HOMO.
>>333354236
This is already a thing it's just that devs tend not to tie everything together in a super obvious way.
It's like how red faction and saints row both reference ultor
>>333354236
It's too late, probably. Thing about the MCU, is that it's all based on a comic book universe that had been established since the 40's, at least.
There are a handful of shared universes in video games, but it's just not something that's prioritized in video games.
Of the top of my head, I can think of:
>Street Fighter, Final Fight, and Saturday Night Slammasters (plus maybe one other, I forget), all being in the same universe
>SNK's shared universe (see >>333356384)
>KT's shared universe between Ninja Gaiden, Dead or Alive, Fatal Frame, and maybe the Musou games
>possibly Devil May Cry and Bayonetta
Fighting games generally seem to have shared universes more than other genres. I'm not sure how you could pull off something like the Avengers with other types of genres.
>>333357624
But anon, the scope of what you're asking requires no small amount of investment from both devs and consumers.
New IPs just don't survive too well in today's market.
>>333354236
What like valve did with all their games? Great job, OP. You have finally thought of something no one has ever done. DUMBASS
Game companies have been doing stuff like this for decades.
Opa-Opa and the Space Harrier both exist in the same Fantasy Zone.
The Final Fight trilogy is a precursor to the Street Fighter universe, if I recall correctly.
Schneider from Fire Shark/Same!Same!Same! is cryogenically frozen until appearing again in Batsugun.
in some bizarre logic, the wild west shmup Gun Frontier takes place in the same universe as the sci-fi dystopia Metal Black and the Dinosaur one-v-one fighter Dino Rex.
>>333357920
I'm not op. I was just explaining to that anon what op meant. I was also the dream anon poster so I think I get what op may mean.
>>333358046
What I meant was it's not enough to have a shared universe (like the comics do) but it has to follow that specific MCU release pattern
>>333357816
Super Robot Wars OG: The Moon Dwellers is coming out this year for PS4. The Asian version will have English text.
>>333358136
To be fair, none of those things really stress continuity and don't really do much with their crossovers.
I think he wants something where the shared universe actually matters.
I know Ubisoft is trying to do something like that, but it'll probably suck.
>>333357670
They planned all this universe stuff out but allowed the writers to connect shit
>>333357765
What are you trying to say? Like the tone difference between the two make it weird their in the same universe?
OP means something like Konami Wai Wai World.
Tekken and Soul Calibur? If i'm not mistaken, both of them occur in the same universe but during different time periods. Yoshimitsu is the only character that really connects them though.
>>333354236
Dumb hamsterposter
>>333358059
Project X Zone then?
What about Valkyrie Drive
That's supposed to be this big cross media project that's recently started
A mobile game
A vita game
and an anime
>>333358270
No, that it's really weird that Daredevil is single-handedly fighting violent deadly criminal organizations instead of filing a complaint with Tony Stark
>>333354236
A company that releases 3 shitty games a year?
Think about Dark Souls ot Assassin's Cred.
>>333355953
>headcanon
>>>/tumblr/
>>333358076
Well yeah, which is a good thing, but sooner or later someone like EA is going to think "what if Dead Space, Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Titanfall, and Plants vs Zombies were in the same universe and we rebooted them to build up to it"
Its probably easier with new IPs or ones that arent so steeped in lore but would require a lot of investment and a definite plan B in case its not popular. Not to mention lots of studios since you would need one made every year or so
>>333358392
Yeah like that I wanna say, but not a fighting game from what I'm seeing. Considering those games can just start with "An evil being is making tears in multiple dimensions and so these fuckers gotta fuck him up" type of shtick.
>>333356659
Endwar has Rainbow Six on it
>>333354236
but I like marvel movies stay assblasted /tv/

Smash doesn't count. It's supposed to be amanchild playing with figures.
>>333358548

>>333358662
That's actually the plot of Thor 2 isn't it?

Metroid takes place even further in that man child's galaxy

>>333358756
can't remember
couldn't even finish it
Nintendo is probably the only one who could pull it off but they hate long term planning so it will never happen. Blizzard too, but they already have shit like HotS and will only make games that can be e-sportsy
>>333358490
Cause Tony ain't gonna do shit despite the city being a living hell cause of the Avengers, and DD thinks he can handle undead ninjas by himself but maybe when Defenders are a thing that whole Black Sky plot and where they got their powers will get shields attention
>>333358757
>The website for Doom RPG does state that the player in Doom RPG is the same character from Doom I Doom through Doom 3. "you reprise the role of the Doom Marine made famous in the groundbreaking id Software titles Doom, Doom II, and Doom 3."[1] Although its unclear which order they fit if part of a single timeline. Perhaps Doom 3 is rougly the prequel, followed by Doom RPG, and then Doom I, and then Doom II.
>He is a direct descendent of William Joseph B.J. Blazkowicz through his son Arthur Kenneth Blaze and Arthur's son William Blazkowicz II (aka Billy Blaze, grandson of the original B.J.).
>It is said claimed there were no survivors of the Mars Incident at the Mars Outpost. His relative Stan Blazkowicz learns about the fate of the Mars Incident while on a mission to the Moon. However, the Doom Marine did survive, and would go onto fight through Phobos, Deimos, Hell, again and save Earth during another invasion.
>>333355923
>Just about everything Nintendo puts out
That's only really their platformers though and even then, it's not like it actually matters.
>>333358989
Do agree though. If they did a company-wide continuity reboot for all their IPs and actually wrote them so that they were in the same universe or Multiverse, then it could work.

So does Splatoon
>>333358819
Both franchises appear in Smash, sucker. Or are you trying to start a paradox here?
>>333358075
Rival Schools also takes place in the Street Fighter universe
Captain Commando takes place in futuristic Metro City, which means Commando and Bionic Commando are also in the same universe.
>>333360113
also resident evil, dino crisis, and haunting ground take place in the same universe
and ghost trick and ace atttorny are same universe
>>333360113
>>333360258
Well look at that.
Thing is, there's no real demand for a shared video game universe either.
>>333354913
Ubishit already did that with watch dogs and ass creed
>>333360387
The thing is you're only looking at it from the shared world perspective. Set them up in a way that they actually meaningfully tie into each other besides "oh yeah, these games exist simultaneously but are only reference din passing" with a pay off and boom, now you have people crawling for more.
>>333360561
How would you do that though?
The only real example I can think of is a possible Devil May Cry x Bayonetta.
And this is coming from someone who adores crossovers. They're cool as fuck. But I'm not sure how you'd make crossovers meaningful in a video game.
Actually, shit, Tekken 7:FR is doing that with Akuma.
>>333359563
Why are Star Wars fan so autistic about canon?
Actually, why are nerds so autistic about canon?
>>333354913

>>333360561Borgineria is a location in both ACe Attorny and Dino crisis but I don't want to believe ace attorny and resident evil could exist in the same universe
>>333360646
Very carefully. The idea behind it is that it lets you have different genres while having everyone who plays those different genres feel connected. Its not a crossover for the sake of crossing over.
Like imagine if you had a NG game that referenced some devils and demons from DMC or Bayonetta series, then at the end Ryu bumps into someone like Enzo. Followup is a DMC game where Dante has to deal with a renegade angel as a subplot but its not the main focus and at the end you only hear that its been dealt with by one of the umbran witches. Next up you have God of War game that is mostly just a setup for how Kratos enters modern day from years back, but he is found in the future by Rodin and Ryu Hayabusa, then you have a Bayonetta game that shows the subplot from the DMC game as the main focus and ends with Bayonetta running into Kratos. Next game is some co-op grand action game with an ancient evil.
I mean thats a bad plot because I didnt put a lot of thought into it but you can see the idea behind it, right? Its not just oh DMC x Bayonetta, its much more and better interwoven
Orange_Juice
>>333361351
As a massive fan of CUHRAYZEE, I'd play all of that shit.
I see your point. Honestly it could work, but it'd be something new and different. I feel like it'd be a bit of a risk since even shared universes and crossovers don't really stress continuity.
I think another way to make some kind of video game version of The Avengers would be to make the big payoff a big crossover fighting game.
HOWEVER, unlike in your example, the series represented in the fighting game could be totally distinct, with every one of them being in a different genre.
However they could be constructed from the ground up so that they might take place in the same universe instead of it being totally jarring when they crossover, you know? Like one series could be a platformer, the other a survival horror, etc.
Maybe to keep their gameplay relevant in the big crossover fighting game, their mechanics could be a big part of the way they play, like a lot of guest fighters are doing nowadays.
>>333362207
Fighting games do make for the best crossovers however, you have to keep in mind that fighters are niche. Even MKX which is the best selling fighter in recent history and among the best sellers of 2015, population still dropped and its numbers in tournaments are barely half of what they were at launch.
Im sure there are more creative, yet familiar ways to do the huge crossover part, and a fightan game can still be in the mix, too. Like the equivalent of the Civil War movie. Its not the final payoff, but theres still quite a bit riding on it
>>333362504
How would a big crossover game incorporating tons of different franchises in different genres play like then?
I feel like the best genres for big crossover games are fighting games, beat 'em ups (like Musou), and turn-based strategy games, like Project x Zone. I think those are sort of really inclusive towards a variety of different characters, in an overarching way, you know? If that makes any sense.
Actually if this were a big crossover featuring shooting games, making it an FPS or a TPS could work.
I'm not seeing how a big crossover game could work as an action-adventure game though, just as an example. Maybe a platformer could work as well too however.
>>333362859
Well yeah, thats sort of the catch, which overarching genre do you choose for the big crossover, but I think overwatch is a good example if you went the FPS route. In fact, if blizz wanted to outsource solo titles for the characters or group of characters that lead up to overwatch 2 in the next decade that could work well. Hack n slash with genji byplatinum, vehicular combat with roadhog and junkrat by sumo digital, etc. Although I think they will just do those overwatch shorts instead.
>>333363190
