Crispy Gamer writes: "The reboot of The Incredible Hulk franchise on the big screen means someone -- this time Sega -- is looking to cash in on the hype in videogame form. Since The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction developer Radical Entertainment has its hands full with Prototype, Sega has enlisted Austin, Texas-based Edge of Reality (Cipher Complex, Pitfall: The Lost Expedition, Shark Tale, Over the Hedge) to bring the green behemoth to next-gen consoles for the first time. Hulk fans have been blessed with some pretty decent games from Radical in the past, and from what we've experienced with Edge of Reality's first effort, we wish Radical could have developed this game as well.
The Incredible Hulk will have one storyline that follows the events of the movie with the majority of the game taking place in New York, but the game will also include three separate storylines interwoven throughout the experience. Almost all of the characters in the movie are in the game, and Edge of Reality has lined up Ed Norton, Liv Tyler, William Hurt and Tim Roth to provide voice talent and likenesses for authenticity. The other storylines will be based around comic book lore and elements in the Hulk universe, so expect to take on such long-time Hulk staples as BiBeast, the U-Foes and more."
Pro:
-Level almost everything in Manhattan
-Loads of unlockables promised for comic fans
Con:
-It may be more Hulk, but nothing feels really new
James writes - "Last month I ventured into the debatable legacy left by the Iron Man video game, which coincided with the monumental launch of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Not long after, the big green angry member of the Avengers received his own video game in tandem with a blockbuster film. Now, ten years on, it’s time to look back at SEGA’s The Incredible Hulk to find out if he lived up to the ‘Incredible’ moniker!"
hulk: ultimate destruction was and is the best hulk game till this day. maybe insomniac can work on hulk after spidey? I wish
Agreed. I still throw it on now and again. Huge comic book gallery in there. Those are the kinda collectibles I enjoyed collecting. Practical things you can look at later, not just orbs/shards/feathers.
Kyle grew up playing a lot of video games. However, licensed video games, good and bad, hold a special place in his heart.
It's been too long since Ultimate Destruction gave us a magnificent excuse to cause absolute chaos with the Hulk. Why haven't we seen anything like it since? Click to find out!
All I want is a gory Marvel game. Maybe a Marvel Civil War RPG.
But blood and gore like X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
Loved the hell outta Ultimate Destruction. So fun to run around and destroy things.
The team who made Ultimate Destruction are too busy making those Prototype games which... haven't really worked to reel people in the way the Hulk did.
One thing you will never see is a gory Marvel game that doesn't fit the character or the comics. It's because of the target audience being so young, some parents actually monitor what their kids play and so your sales will drop if you make an M rated superhero game. Wolverine's Origins game was great fun, but it was awkward taking your kids to the PG movie, only for them to not be old enough to play the game when they got home.

you can say that again
prototype wasn't bad but they did their best work with hulk

I'm the minority, but I would love a sequel to Marvel Nemesis: Rise of The Imperfects.
I thought the studio that made the hulk games closed?
I know there's others out there that can do a new one..
It would be nice... Also a new prototype would be cool too
