First Details Revealed on SEGA's Incredible Hulk Game

Via Ripten:

"We had the chance to sit down for a lengthy chat with Edge of Reality Creative Director, Mark Nau, and discuss his career, the industry, the upcoming Incredible Hulk videogame, and much more."

Just gonna be sh!tty like every game that have been made by a movie.
No?
Ok then,name one,just name one good game that have being made by a movie!
& i don't mean animation movies like ff7:ac.

[ChickeyCantor]

FF7:ac
was after the storyline of the game...so mentioning that was pretty stupid?

[MK_Red]

Eh, this story is about a game based on a movie not a movie based on a game. FF:AC was a movie based on a game.

In case of movie based games, Riddick is a shining example that they CAN be good and fun.

I don't know. I'm still waiting for the day when a good one comes along, myself. But then again, few characters/licenses lend themselves to gameplay like The Hulk does.

Crackdown, fun as it was, is a near rip of the whole Hulk concept. If that can do well, why not the big green guy?

[GameOn]

AvP2 was a great game online and of.
I know it isnt really based on a film because there wasnt an AvP film back then. On the other hand it was based off of 2 films and then later had a film made based on it.

Games based on films can be as good as any other game. they just usually arnt.

[MK_Red]

AvP2 was really great and it could be counted but it was mostly based on the AVP comic books.

[Nostradavis]

So this game has failed before it has even come out? Is that what you are saying? Maybe you guys should give Edge and Mark a little more credit.

He seems like a very bright individual who understands the industry very well.

[Cutter20]

Saying what is required for a good game is like saying "what color should food be". Hilarious!

Great interview, fun read. Definitely check it out.

[wardrox]

Games from films tend to be hit or miss. i think I'll wait for the reviews before spending my hard earned monies.

Fun interview though, worth a quick read.

[mintaro]

i hope it's good, mostly for the sake of SEGA

[UltramanJ]

I realize this is just one member of a team, but this guy's credentials are very weak. The Hulk game sounds like it's been passed off to the lowest common donominator to make a quick buck. Sad.

[zornik]

"Chronicles of Riddick" is a good example and "Aliens vs. Predator" (there was a comic book around that time btw).
But with al other dissasters it's a wait and see scenario.

[Skerj]

Sorry but Radical owned the Hulk franchise in the gaming department with Ultimate Destruction. I'll be checking this one out though, since its open world they might just be able to do something cool. But the weaponization system was just so damned awesome.

Various Star Wars
Golden Eye 007
Warriors
Riddick
Spiderman 2
Path of Neo

etc

[UltramanJ]

are usually the ones that aren't rushed to release at the same time as the movie. They're also the ones that have a solid developer behind them. So that's two strikes against Sega's Hulk game right off the bat.
