Iron Man 2's story will go beyond the plot of the movie

by Griffin McElroy on Jul 21st 2009 10:00PM

We'll be seeing more of Sega's follow-up to the poorly received 2008 super hero title Iron Man during the company's Comic-Con 2009 presentation -- but a press release just dropped some early details for the metal-suited sequel. Most intriguingly, the presser reveals that Iron Man 2 won't just follow the plot of the upcoming film, but will include a bit of inspiration from the comics as well. (We call this "getting the Spider-Man treatment.")

Other interesting tidbits: The game's story will be penned by Invincible Iron Man and Uncanny X-Men writer Matt Fraction (and his loyal sidekick, Dave Percentile!), and will feature completely revamped controls. Hopefully this time around, Tony Stark's movement controls won't make it feel like he's drunk all the time. Oh! Ooooh. This is awkward.

I remember how "good" the first Iron Man game was supposed to be.

No sir, I'm not falling for that one again.

The last panel completely summarizes my opinion on this game.

I'll be waiting for the reviews this time. The first one made me cry a little it was so overhyped.

Will it have better controls?

Hope so......

I kind of feel bad for the people how work for these types of games, cause no matter what it will rarely be good. Kind of sad, actually.

well, ill at least gamefly it. Because despite it's undoubtable suckage, ill still wanna play it

Say what you want. This is gonna be a rushed production with 95% of the focus on visuals and a 5% focus on fun/depth. Frankly I'm so burnt out on the disappointment of these ventures that I'd much rather see the studio build one formula that people enjoy and just transplant characters and events in every time they release a new movie. It worked for Guitar Hero and you wouldn't have to push back your precious release date and skimp on the game itself.

The only thing I liked in Iron Man was the flying. Everything else sucked

Yeah this game will be about as good as the first.
Probably worse actually.

Now would I like to be proven wrong and be given a good iron man game?
gladly

A licensed game that is actually good? You heretic!

@Jamirow

Riddick and several Star wars games would like words with you.

I'm not saying that there aren't good licensed games. I'm just joking about the overall quality of licensed games.

Oops, I didn't mean to reply to you D:

FUCK, I meant @ Tofupancho

:@ :@

Any one know if the same studio is developing Iron Man 2? I sure hope they're getting replaced, I would friggin' play the shit out of an Iron Man game that was actually GOOD. So much potential! I mean it's IRON MAN. Let's be serious here.

What you did there: I see it.

yeah, someone is definitely drunk.

And by 'poorly received' we really mean that it was critically panned. Because any game that sells nearly 3 million copies across several platforms is not necessarily 'poorly received'.

And that is the exact reason why the sequel will be as bad s the first one.

The game wasn't so bad. it only lacked a bit of variety and polish. The difficulty was all over the place most of the time, but in the end I had some fun.
