My thoughts on Toy Story: Retro Roundup! and Toy Story 3: Complete Edition

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, Digital Eclipse announced many classic Toy Story games coming back. In order to tie in to Toy Story 5 hitting theaters soon. Despite some recent game compilations they done I'm willing to give them one more chance. Honestly, if they don't get rush again we could be given gold!!!

Toy Story: Retro Roundup! is a game compilation mostly of older Toy Story games. They were kind enough to add A Bug's Life game as well since all their respective films were by Pixar. Toy Story 3 Complete Edition is going to have include everything. Of course, both of these Toy Story games getting enhanced in a few ways.

I grew up with some of these movies. I even remembered Buzz Lightyear of Star Command cartoon show as well. I also grew up with Toy Story on Sega Genesis. For a few years until a few months ago I had Toy Story 2 on Nintendo 64. Digital Eclipse tries to get as many versions within game compilations as possible.

Traditionally majority of their game compilations on every major gaming platform. They usually pack in a lot of cool bonus stuff. I been wondering on and off for few months when these Toy Story games were coming back. Now we all know October 15th, yes that's for both Toy Story games. This could end up being their best Disney game compilation to date.

They previously done both The Disney Afternoon Collection and Disney Classic Games Collection respectively. The later was updated to have more games with even more bonus content. I been noticing some companies been bringing back games from PlayStation 1. One of them about to open a bigger door with emulation PlayStation 2 soon.

They also have a practice mode that's generous for newer players. They also including the cheats option like Beat 'Em Up Collection and Marvel MaXimum Collection. Six licensed movie games with some versions of the same games. This already looking better than Rugrats: Retro Rewind Collection. Toy Story 3 I heard was a decent movie game.

Originally a different game company was going to make the game. But their pitch to Disney was rejected. Which led to Avalanche Software developing the game instead. Pixar had a team of theirs to assist with making Toy Story 3. Most of the voice actors from the movie reprised their roles. There's a story mode along with Toy Box mode.

Toy Box mode lets you explore a western town. Essentially it's sandbox mode that does allow you to customize. Previously in PS3 version lets you play as Emperor Zurg. Now every version of the new version has Zurg by default. Every DLC automatically added is a nice touch. They also have a multiplayer mode which the newer trailers showcased.

You know Toy Story fans going to listen to the soundtracks in Toy Story: Retro Roundup! For me along with A Bug's Life game added. I wasn't expecting they bring back Toy Story Racer or Buzz Lightyear of Star Command game. Let's be honest, most people buying this won't know of either game.

In a way it would make up not giving us a newer version of The Disney Afternoon Collection. Which had two SNES licensed Disney games added. The older version lacks these two entirely confirmed by Digital Eclipse on social media. They are giving us this much Toy Story I'm happy with that.

I don't know if they going to do a bundle deal with these two Toy Story games digitally. Physically already confirmed to be happening though. Adding in Toy Story 3: Complete Edition. You're getting six Toy Story games with a couple other versions. I guess the chest getting very filled by now.

Assuming either does well I'm hoping Digital Eclipse ends up being the company. Possibly finally do an retro Batman game compilation. To be fair if Limited Run Games doing it, there's a huge chance they'll directly make the collection themselves. But if I see any teams not them that released a few game compilations this year doing it no sir I'm not buying!!!

I'm expecting there to be a ridiculous amount of bonus content to keep you busy for hours. Especially for people who really into the franchise. Suddenly Toy Story 5 going to be much sweeter with these on the way. From what I seen from the trailers I think both going to be very decent. These going to become a new awesome way to get into the franchise.

Not only that they also could open the door for more classic franchises to come back soon. I do think there's a lot of potential for greatness here. I'm not entirely sure which one I'm more excited for? I already added both of them to my wish list. At this point I'm hoping neither gets rushed out. Also I'm hoping they may get onto GOG in the near future.

Death Battle Fight Prediction: GMK Godzilla (GMK) vs War Devil (Chainsaw Man)

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, I kept hearing War Devil has a huge requested match up on Death Battle. A rather unexpected match up that kept showing up on the internet to a degree. I finished my research on her opponent for this fight prediction blog. I'm putting War Devil against GMK Godzilla folks I won't sugar coat it's not even close!!!

Verdict
GMK Godzilla

War Devil has a few problems with her potential. She couldn't fully mentally break Asa down. Even she stated if she could that her powers would've increase much more. Unfortunately the highest power scale goes in Chainsaw Man universe is planet level. Only Primal Fear level devils are that strong. This means it's impossible for any devil including them to go higher within the power scaling.

Not to mention, some connected devils like World War 2 Devil was devoured by Pochita aka Chainsaw Devil. By default, incapable of going her true full potential in the actual story. Even if she could've it does not matter!!! War Devil represents many forms of fear that's connected to wars. Which would give her the experience advantage in this fight.

She also made contracts with a few states connecting to millions possibly billions of people's lifes. Yet not even this going to matter as soon as I start talking about GMK Godzilla. She did fair well against Pochita later their merged form. Which was impressive within her own universe. She once transmuted Falling Devil, one of the strongest devils into clothes.

Even Falling Devil was reduced in her potential by Death Devil. Even if she wasn't, this still a rather impressive feat. War Devil has many surprises that ultimately won't do jack to Godzilla. Even if every single big attack hit him. War Devil created a large rifle rifle firing out nearly every weapon she or Asa created.

This gun failed to stop Falling Devil. The same devil confirmed humanity lack a method to harm Primal Fear devils. Denji twice rips through her body while she simply regenerated like it's nothing. This also confirms devils on that level are essentially immortal. Obviously War Devil can still die with the possible exception after Pochita devoured her sister Death Devil.

Which created a world without death. Although War Devil can still use up people connected to her. In fact she used up the population of Virginia with her nuclear punch. To clarify this version of the fight would still have death in existence. War Devil can transmute over a few thousands of miles on the planet.

Much faster regarding transmuting the famous American flag on the moon. Which would easily translate to being faster than light speeds. I just wanted Chainsaw Man fans to know I'm considering everything for War Devil. To be brutally honest, none of it going to matter in the end. GMK Godzilla isn't like most versions of the monster.

This version was a corpse possessed by lifes loss during World War 2 in Japan. A few million souls that's fewer to the estimated four US states worth of population War Devil has. I'm about to blow a lot of people's minds here. There was a movie that ended up getting a comic crossover sequel which is canon.

If I were simply going by power scaling in the movie. GMK Godzilla could've been planet level. In comparison, War Devil struggled hard against two Primal Fear devils. This is already looking bad for her. But wait it gets even crazier!!! Throwing in that comic sequel power scaling. GMK Godzilla scaled all the way up to multiversal level!!!

This is really bad for War Devil. By default, GMK Godzilla absolutely destroys her in overall stats. Like most versions of Godzilla, he has the famous broken regeneration. Eventually War Devil going to get low on blood as well as people she's connected to. If she indirectly hurts herself in an accident. She could cause herself to bleed out.

The worst part is this version of Godzilla could easily blow up the planet!!! Effectively ending every single life she's connected to plus her own in the process. Considering the stats gap, some of War Devil's biggest attacks won't happen fast enough. I still haven't mention the craziest factor in the entire fight. Still not the most ridiculous version of the monster either to clarify.

This version of Godzilla has a more powerful variation of the Atomic Breath. Which gotten upgraded to multiversal level of raw power!!! GMK Godzilla fought against Thor that led to a rather unexpected conclusion. This version of Thor was multiversal in power. They fought each other until they both died. They continued fighting in an endless loop.

GMK Godzilla fought this version of Thor to a standstill is truly mind blowing. This also proves GMK Godzilla has greater willpower as well as determination. War Devil may be smarter but there's no way she's transmuting anything of GMK Godzilla. Especially if her universe's power scaling limited to planet level.

She previously failed to transmute Denji into a weapon. The very moment she didn't view herself superior to him. It's quite obvious that's doomed to happen again here. Even if she could transmute a small part of GMK Godzilla. I don't think there's much she actually could. GMK Godzilla being multiversal would be too much ridiculous fire power to destroy Hell if War Devil escaped there.

War Devil willing to use such tactics to get what she wants. Which isn't going to fly against GMK Godzilla. She likely become too afraid to continue fighting. It also doesn't help she has a rather huge ego to a fault. GMK Godzilla used to fighting giant monsters. Yes devils could be absolutely terrifying in Chainsaw Man universe.

Not even connected to every one in the world going to change her fate. Majority of her attacks just be like mosquitos to him. There's also the possibility his blood too radiated to drink. Which could kill her as well as those connected to her. War Devil would be smart enough to not attempt it again. But this also prevents her from healing when she's low on people she's connected to as well as blood.

I know some might argue Chainsaw Man devils having a broken regeneration. Yeah a lot of those people don't know how ridiculous some versions of Godzilla's regeneration is. GMK Godzilla doesn't have the same limitations to his regeneration. Going back to endless fighting Thor, he actually could fight forever.

War Devil virtually has no way to survive at all!!! She could only do so much to delay the inevitable. Ultimately, War Devil represents every form of fear that's connected to wars. She couldn't use that to notably boost herself up in power facing GMK Godzilla. Basically War Devil is absolutely screwed with this massive of a power gap!!!

Winner: GMK Godzilla

If Pennywise can't come to Dead by Daylight, Who are my next two biggest horror icon requests?

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, I just had a thought what if Pennywise won't be coming to Dead by Daylight? Then I was thinking I should have two horror icon requests I personally want the most as a back up plan. I instantly knew which two I wanted the most for a long time. Art the Clown from Terrifier series and The Thing from The Thing series.

Art the Clown

One of my absolute favorite slasher villains in recent years. Art the Clown originally was in a short film that's been edited into All Hallows' Eve 1. The original Terrifier is a full movie version of that short film. The original Art actor didn't reprise the role for it. This indie slasher franchise is doing amazingly well. I even have to say Art easily among the most difficult to watch during kill scenes.

Art never speaks yet comes up incredibly creepy as well as sadistic as inhumanly possible. More recently, there's an licensed beat 'em up game of the franchise. Art also a DLC guest character in Call of Duty series. My brother isn't a fan of clowns yet somehow I gotten him to love the character. I'm very hyped for Terrifier 4 in the near future.

I do think they could do a lot with the character in Dead by Daylight. I figured they would call him The Mime. Which is a type of clown that doesn't speak yet acts things out. He already has the usual black and white theme of a mime. In the last few years Art really went higher on that list for me. I hope to see the day he's finally coming to Dead by Daylight.

People would expect a rather over the top violent mori fitting of the character. I also hope they give him a few cosmetics as well. I'm not expecting a map to come with him. But Sienna Shaw as a survivor to come in with him. If she doesn't they really need to spice it up or I'll be highly disappointed. Art the Clown has forever changed how slashers in horror movies are viewed to the world.

I also must give credit for how consistent Terrifier movie franchise is. Which is rare among many slasher horror movie franchises. Leone himself is among many reasons for it's success. Terrifier is simply better quality than most newer bigger budget horror movie franchises today. I do think that's going to shine through in Dead by Daylight in a rather huge way.

The Thing

There's one other horror icon I wanna see in Dead by Daylight even more than Art the Clown. This alien creature always been close to the top for me. A brief history of the franchise for those that's not fully aware. Originally it was a novel called Who Goes There? Then the story gotten adapted in a movie called The Thing from Another World.

Of course most fans are well aware of that movie's famous 80s remake simply called The Thing. Then a video game that acts as a sequel to that movie happened. More recently as of a few years ago gotten an remastered version. Then it gotten a prequel movie of the same title I know confusing right? Three different stories with the same exact title.

The thing is about a group of people researching Antarctica. Weird things started to happen with shape shifting aliens. Now I know some might be against The Thing coming to the game because Xenomorph from Alien franchise in the game. At the same time, a lot of people also heavily requested Predator to come to the same game.

I don't think it matters much though. The Thing notably differs from Xenomorph to stand out on it's own. The concept of a shape shifting alien that could mimic survivors during a match is terrifying. This is a particular concept I always wanted in the game. There's no other horror icon more perfect than The Thing to pull it off.

I don't think they would call em The Thing. Sure it could've easily work because that's the portion of the franchise they know best. I felt it should be called The Shape Shifter. Now that would be much scarier. I don't even need to explain how fitting of a name it truly is either. The Thing having Carpenter in particular involve would blow millions of people's minds!!!

Conclusion

John Carpenter making a new movie soon. He could get involve with The Thing Chapter. Of course Damien Leone always wants Art the Clown to be true to his character. Both of them could bring in some truly sick animations to the game. Honestly, this possibly being my last DbD blog entry in a good while. I really wanted to reveal how much both of them meant to me.

The Thing as in the 80s horror movie remake still among the scariest horror movies I ever seen!!! All Terrifier movies are among the finest slasher films I watched. Both of them could dramatically change how we view many things in Dead by Daylight. Honestly, I would come back to play as both these monsters.

Especially if both of them gets added into 2v8 mode would be mind blowing!!! For sure I also would return to play as either in that mode. Two of the most difficult to watch horror icons in the same match. Especially both of them heavily impact the entire experience in so many ways. There might not be anything close to that type of experience afterwards.

Art the Clown may face people that doesn't want another clown in the game. He already differs a lot from The Clown in many ways. The Thing could also get some rather sick cosmetics. Honestly, it can't get much crazier than this!!! Having both of them in place of Pennywise would be more than enough to make up for the character not showing up.

My thoughts on Dead on Daylight: Jason Chapter

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, Happy Memorial Day I didn't originally plan to write today. I quickly found out some early game play of the upcoming next license killer coming to Dead by Daylight. PTB is starting tomorrow that could reveal more of what the new killer coming to the game or not. Look you know by the title it's Jason Voorhees.

I was a little surprised it turned out to be Jason. I know for a few years, Jason Universe been getting Jason into many crossovers. In order to help bring some of that popularity back to a degree. The world will never forget such a horror icon. I wanna discuss several things about this. Such as a long stream about thirteen hours!!!

We mostly see a cabin in the woods I swear not that movie it's literately what I said it is. They make some random stuff happen to a degree. A rather lackluster long stream to be honest. For what the ending portion being what a lot of people wanna know? Especially for one of their most requested horror icons to date wow!!!

This might be a hot take easily the worst reveal of an anniversary chapter they ever done!!! Some of the jokes early on the internet ended up being more entertaining which is sad!!! Of course I'm a bit disappointed it's not Pennywise. He also has a standing invitation to come to the game. Currently the only one with that since Jason about to get added.

No surprise they're going to call him The Slasher. I couldn't think of a better name off hand. Originally I didn't expect they would do much to help him stand out in the game play. I can now confirm they really step up!!! Somehow they made Jason so menacing in this game. He will have an machete with throwing weapons.

The projectiles can swap out making that a rather unique mechanic. He will play a little similar to Springtrap. He can throw projectiles that will impale survivors. They went even further than I could've imagined. They confirmed Jason has up to three moris!!! I am not kidding Pyramid Head had an additional sacrifice method prior.

No Jason had to add in a third way to do people in. Two of which involves his projectiles. As expected those are much quickier than his main mori. Which reminded me of a fatality from Mortal Kombat series. Which he also was a guest character in Mortal Kombat X later became Mortal Kombat XL. Jason technically teleports to a degree.

I actually prefer how it's done here than in Friday the 13th: The Game. Where that was more like Evil Dead series than anything else. Evil Dead: The Game also done the same traveling mechanic. I liked Jason was designed to punish bullies. A rather nice touch I'm glad they went for. If a leak is correct, Jason coming with a few additional skins.

Even if it ends up just being Jason that's fine. Jason will be the nineteenth licensed killer in the game. I easily could've made the joke Jason stared at a cabin for a decade before coming to the game. Jason will play notably different from Friday the 13th: The Game. Which brings me to another thing I'm salty about.

Simply because Jason coming to the game. The once famous multiplayer horror debate between Dead by Daylight and Friday the 13th: The Game now pointless. Forever ruined such a rememberable horror game debate for the rest of time. To be fair, I still do think Dead by Daylight is the better multiplayer horror game.

Let's be honest how can I not? A lot of my favorite characters on both sides especially Resident Evil. There's a lot of cool stuff within Dead by Daylight. Despite the actual stuff turning me off. I'm quite happy how they're handling Jason. This aspect of the hype is lived up well. I know many people waited a decade for this moment.

Jason always had a place among what I'm calling the Horror Wall of Fame. I really would love Tall Man from Phantasm series come to the game. There's still plenty horror franchises they could go for. End of the day we finally get Jason that's a huge win in itself. Honestly, I am curious to see after the following chapter where we go from there?

Just in case some people forgotten the following chapter was determined by a series of polls from the community. They decided on a survivor and a killer that'll be added to the game. I don't think that's going to be nearly as great as the previous chapter. I will say the day we get 3vs12 mode. You know people have to play as Michael, Jason and Freddy in a match together.

The 3 Slashers of Horror in a match is going to be insane. Personally I would've went a more strangely interesting route than that. Not because I felt doing the 3 Slashers would be boring. Of course not it's that'll be still fun to watch. I just felt I rather see Ken Kaneki, Springtrap and Dracula together. Now that's a match I would drop everything to watch!!!

Who is ballsy enough to face those three licensed killers in a match? Especially having eleven other people going to suffer along with you. Now that would be truly amazing indeed if they could pull that off. The waiting periods would be ridiculous though. Back to Jason, I do think they are nailing the character well.

Two more guesses for Dead by Daylight's tenth anniversary chapter

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, a couple hours today they're going to finally reveal the next chapter. I previously went heavily into details if it ended up being Pennywise. I decided to start looking around to see what else might be in the running? It led me to two franchises, Chainsaw Man and The Last of Us. I still haven't played any games in The Last of Us franchise.

Considering it's been rubbing me the wrong way for a few years now. I don't want to give them a try either. I had to look up what I could find regarding that franchise. I do know Chainsaw Man to a much greater degree. I kept writing about it on and off. I will try my best to explain how I lined up a lot of the clues.

Before I do no I'm not throwing away Pennywise. I still think there's a huge chance we possibly getting him. I still had to consider what else possibly coming as well. Which led to me writing this funny enough you're welcome!!! I'm officially going in with three guesses. All of them having a huge chance being the next anniversary chapter respectively.

Both of them surprisingly did line up with the Shark word clue. There's a shark fiend named Beam in Chainsaw Man. There's a section in The Last of Us with a shark. Circus word clue I didn't seem to find anything concrete enough for The Last of Us. The closest thing I found for Chainsaw Man was the author recommending The Amazing Digital Circus show.

The 13 clue led to a particular location in The Last of Us Part II. I don't know if they would use Volume 13 as a reference. Which is early on Part 2 of the story. The last word clue being, "The darkness feeding on the heartless". In The Last of Us, a lot of people gets eaten then becomes the infected. In Chainsaw Man, this could be directly playing on Denji.

Early in the story, Denji gets killed then thrown into a dumpster. Pochita ended up making an contract to replace his heart reviving him thus giving Denji his powers. Now throw in a few people that attempted to break the contract by making Denji really upset. Denji isn't like a lot of characters in the genre. For example, the horrible burning of an apartment with a lot of pets.

Denji was surprisingly glad about it I'm dead serious. This also ties into his final moment with Pochita in the story that led to his sacrifice. He directly devoured his own heart to erase himself from existence. Obviously Denji has a huge connection with that phrase. I am not entirely sure what this could be referencing in The Last of Us.

Other than Ellie upset with her girlfriend over joined a group of people she's against. Of course that wouldn't properly include feeding aspect of the clue unlike Denji. In a way could also played on Pochita having the power to erase devils from existence by devouring them. I also gotta mention the name with a crown above word clue.

To my surprise, The Last of Us had something for this. There's a composite infected called the Rat King. Which also tie in to the nearby manholes in the short clip. In Chainsaw, The Great King of Terror was the Death Devil. It didn't stop Elizabeth Swan becoming the pirate king in Pirates of the Caribbean series. As for the ancient entity clue, the closest thing in The Last of Us is the fungus itself.

In Chainsaw Man, a few devils in the story lived such long lifes especially Primal Fear devils who can't die!!! This was an easy one for the franchise. Makima is one of a few possible choices to go for. She was the main antagonist of Chainsaw Man Part 1 after all. Personally I would've went for Falling Devil. Who easily could've flipped the entire Dead by Daylight literately upside down.

To be honest, Makima might possibly come off being scarier than her. She has such a long list of abilities that could make her truly broken in Dead by Daylight. It's already a huge year for Chainsaw Man. If it turns out to be Chainsaw Man Chapter it'll be even bigger!!! Obviously two of my three top guesses I'm incredibly hyped for.

I'm assuming Joel and Ellie being the survivors if it's The Last of Us Chapter. A younger Stephen King or Riche from It story for It Chapter. Denji and Asa for Chainsaw Man Chapter. I actually felt they could do a lot with Chainsaw Man with the cosmetics. I'm still hoping for more than one killer. I honestly don't have one for The Last of Us Chapter.

I'm stuck with the Rat King a rather sticky situation. But there's a lot of notable villain characters in Chainsaw Man. There's a huge chance they could go for Reze whose the Bomb Devil. They also could go for Yoru aka War Devil whose the main antagonist of Chainsaw Man Part 2.

They also could go for Katana Man, Fake Chainsaw Man as well as Flamethrower Fiend. Two characters Denji really doesn't like. Fake Chainsaw Man held a grudge against him. It's hard to say if they'll bring in any Primal Fear devils. Although just one would've been nice.

Assuming Stephen King or Warner Brothers even in their desperate situation said No. My next best guess that's lining up with a lot of these clues is Chainsaw Man. I really think they could bring a lot of that into the game. Considering The Dredge was created from a small group's composite fear that ended up becoming an actual being.

This would further connect Chainsaw Man since every devil was created from composite fear on a more conceptual level. I already see many possible angles connecting Chainsaw Man to Dead by Daylight. Now anyone reading this knows my final three guesses before the reveal tonight.

Ideas for possible Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight DLCs

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, tomorrow is the day the world gets to play Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight. The concept is possibly representing everything Batman as possible. They want to keep it only Batman since the original Lego Batman game.

I figured to go over a few possible DLC ideas they could do. I will be excluding what they already done. Batman being such a huge franchise they got plenty to work with. Batman been around since 1939 you would be surprise what could be coming to the game. I'll also try to avoid saying any spoilers I know of the game.

Batman & Mr. Freeze: Sub-Zero movie DLC

They previously done a DLC for Lego DC Super-Villains based on Batman: Mask of the Phantasm movie. They went out of their way to directly parody Schwarzenegger's portrayal of Mr. Freeze. I think if they stick with that going into this DLC. I do think a lot of people could enjoy it.

Some consider it the good Mr. Freeze movie of the 90s. This also would be a great way to make fans of the classic 90s Batman cartoon show happy. Personally this is too good of an idea to not do. They easily could spice it up as well as add in jokes. This also fully brings in Mr. Freeze's wife for a decent story.

They have some of the essentials prior. This would fully bring Mr. Freeze full circle in the game. They even could change his appearance to that of Batman: The Animated Series. Now I know a lot of people would love that!!! I really think they could do so much with the concept.

Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker movie DLC

I'm not going to sugar coat it everyone knows the games based on that Batman Beyond movie sucked. This would be a great opportunity to do the concept again. This time make it something people wanna remember. This also could play into after the campaign. It would be nice if Mark Hamill came back to reprise the role for this.

Even if he doesn't, I do like the guy voicing the character in the game. Personally having Hamill back for this would be enough reason to play this DLC alone. I don't think they would adapt The Killing Joke either. Especially how disappointing that Batman movie was which had Hamill.

They would have a difficult time making it into something a lot of people could enjoy. I strongly felt they could do so much more with adapting this Batman Beyond movie. This also would add in some nice skins for the characters. For me, this would be very nice they go for it.

Gotham show DLC

I know Gotham being an origin story for Bruce going to cause confusion with the story. Although a lot of characters also appeared on the show. This easily could more directly focus on Commissioner Gordon. The show also often shifts focus with the villains. They easily could do an all villains story arc with this.

Both angles I felt they could do a lot with. For Gordon, he was one of the essential hero characters on the show. He had to dealt with some crazy situations. They even could blend this in with aspects of Dark Knight Rises' story. Considering it's final arc and that Batman movie were based on the same comic book arc.

Both also had an Ghul as the main antagonist with Bane being their right hand man. I do think they could do a lot more with the villains. Late into Gotham show, some of them taken territories. They easily could do a story arc with that. We also could see Penguin become the boss following the campaign.

The Batman movie also played into that with the character. This also would help some of the villains shine more in the game. I know they already doing Joker and Harley in a DLC. As a huge Batman fan, they easily could do more with some of these villains. This DLC could be that golden opportunity for greatness!!!

This also could add a lot of cool skins in the game. Also changing the look of several characters to better fit that show would be such a nice detail. Yes I'm aware for characters like Scarecrow and Poison Ivy that could be an issue. I don't think that's going to stop people from wanting to play this DLC either.

They also could have Bruce get drugged. They could play on him seeing characters more like that show. Which actually could tie into a few episodes of the show. Gotham show could bring a lot of potential to this Batman game. I just hope the actual length of the DLC is decent enough to make people happy.

Batman film serial series DLC

We're going back to the 1940s with this next DLC idea. They already heavily played off Batman 1966 show over the years. Considering they want to represent as much Batman as possible. I felt they need to adapt either Batman film serial series into the game. Funny enough the sequel called Batman and Robin.

They don't use many villain characters from the comics in either of these series. In this rare case they really could do so much with that. They easily could spice it up to make these adaptations of those entertaining for people. Also please include the option to swap between black and white as well as a colorized version.

It would be awesome being able to play this with both color filters. I know some might felt this might be too old to add in. When I easily could argue look what they already got? Now adding this in could truly do wonders. A few more cool nostalgic skins for a few characters.

I just don't want a secret cutscene representing them in the game. To me, that would be disappointing. No I would like to experience those film serial series through this Lego Batman game. A rather refreshing retelling of those. Even if they adapt one of those film serial series that's fine.

I would prefer if they could adapt both of them into the game. This would be the perfect opportunity to introduce a lot of people to such forgotten Batman classics. Just don't go in expecting what Sealab 2021 was to Sealab 2020. By having the earliest Batman film series adapted into this Batman game. We're really opening the doors for so many things.

More Batman 1966 DLC

There's still more stuff from Batman 1966 they could pull from. Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders and it's sequel Batman vs. Two-Face movies. For some reason, people still wants more Batman 1966 in some form. There's even Return to the Batcave: The Misadventures of Adam and Burt.

Which was a self aware Batman movie. All of those acted like follow ups to the show. It's been a long time since the legendary Adam West passed away. I do think Burt Ward could return to reprise the role. They also could adapt some of the silliest episodes from the show.

Thus bring in more Batman villains to the game. They also could adapt comics that acts as a follow up as well. Batman 1966 is among the most adapted versions of the franchise. They easily could do more jokes with that. It's mind blowing there's so much with Batman 1966 they still haven't done yet.

I know a lot of people would love to play this DLC. Especially a few people that loved the show as well as the movie. They previously recreated the movie which is why it's excluded here. Another possible angle is Batman gets drugged yeah get use to that. Suddenly everything plays out like an wackier version of that Batman show.

The big issue doing that is a lot of people wouldn't like what parts of that represents. Even if it's being done in a rather playful matter. This also could make some of the worst episodes on the show into something truly amazing!!! Like the famous surfing Joker episode.

People wondered why I was so happy when they announced this Lego Batman game? They also could redo a few sections of the game. Obviously a shorten version of that more comical as well as a bit lighter like the show. Which also could be quite entertaining if they do it right.

Batman 1966 just isn't going quietly into the night. No it's going to do some dated dance moves. Some of which might make you think Batman on drugs lol. In all honestly, we want more surprises like this added to this Lego Batman game. They even could redo a few boss fights but make em even sillier.

They also could help the more joke villain characters stand out. No one wants a few villains barely doing anything. Then their portions of the game quickly over. No what we want is some of those villains be given more time to shine. Possibly some of us laughing from rather cheesy jokes thrown in.

The Penguin show DLC

This also could directly tie into bringing aspects of the Gotham show. The Penguin show was a spin off show of The Batman movie. It would be nice to see more of a villain perceptive in this. Hell Lego DC Super-Villains as well as half of the original Lego Batman done that. Not trying to say hero characters are boring coughs Superman!!!

Sometimes a few villains easily steals the show see what I did there? They also could go for the character attempt running as Mayor in Gotham City. Which also could more directly tie in with Batman Returns movie. Considering they're messing several versions of the characters together. This would be perfect for a future DLC idea.

I'm rather selective which versions of the Penguin I like honestly. I believe I may stated Batman Returns version always been my favorite version. So what if that version very unfaithful to the source material. Actor Danny DeVito really made it work insanely well!!! A careful blending of those versions could give us his rise to power storyline.

Also adding in more villain characters to play as. This by itself could bring a lot to the overall experience. It also would be nice if they add stuff for the Penguin to do around the map. They easily could add in jokes as well as references. The Penguin show being the main focus could fully bring it together.

Sure there's more direct stuff from Gotham show. But right now the Penguin show being a successful spin off of a great Batman movie. Plus some people wants more The Batman stuff in the game. This would be the more likely direction to go in. They also could add in a few more skins. They also could recreate a few more moments from The Batman movie.

The Batman show DLC

I will be honest this cartoon Batman show went under the radar for a long time. This was a successful Batman cartoon show that isn't part of any major composite DC universes. This also easily could bring in a lot of skins for many characters including unplayable ones. Suddenly seeing what many characters looked like from that Batman show.

Clayface would be among the most interesting since a few people with that atlas was on the show. They also could use that to adapt the upcoming Clayface movie. Let's be honest, adding in stuff going to make quite an impact. This also could bring even more Batman villains to the game. Personally I would be thankful for just that.

Although, this cartoon Batman show deserves more respect than that. They easily could spice it up with messing other versions together. They also could recreate some of the episodes. Possibly the famous Batman vs. Dracula movie. I just don't want that movie to just be there as a reference. If we're going for The Batman show we need to go all in!!!

If they could get some of the voice actors to reprise. I'm sure fans of that Batman cartoon show wanna play this!!! The Batman show could bring so much to the overall experience. Especially for people that really can't get enough Batman. Essentially overdosing already with this Lego Batman game. I bet those people are living the dream.

Conclusion

Majority of these I would've done for the game if I were on the team. There's still an insane amount of Batman content they could use. Nearly ninety years worth of Batman content at that. Batman always been my favorite of the DC Big 3. This Lego Batman possibly be one of the absolute greatest Batman games in a long time.

I highly doubt they would allow crossovers bringing in other DC superheroes. A lot of content centering around that was also excluded here. I still don't view it as cutting Batman's potential down. In fact, they wanna keep the focus on the character. They wanna show a good amount of the world why he's a timeless legend.

I felt they're doing an amazing job focusing on the character. Not to rub anyone the wrong way. I personally felt Lego Batman 3 could've been a little better even with DLCs. I felt that played too heavily on crossing over with other DC superheroes. To me, Lego DC Super-Villains worked way better. Lego Batman 2 was done perfectly with crossing over with other DC superheroes.

This was always meant to represent virtually everything Batman possible. Excluding the other DC superheroes easily take away from that. No disrespect towards a lot of them. They want to maintain focus while adding more content. To be honest, from what I seen of the newer licensed Lego games. This is a good idea to better balance what could be coming to the game.

Ultimately you want this Lego Batman game to be great. You want a game to spend countless hours playing. Constantly reliving a lot of nostalgia in some way. Judging by some of the early reviews it sounds like they nailed it!!! I do think this is possibly going to be one of the finest licensed games of the year.

Marvel's Wolverine rant

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, I just found out about a rather disappointing announcement. A few months ago I made a particular blog entry requested by a friend. Among the list of upcoming games at the time was Marvel's Wolverine. Now I can safely say it's no longer belongs on that list. I'm glad I didn't vote for it at a particular game awards either.

Here's a link to that blog entry in question down below...

Currently RACCOIN, Mouse P.I. for Hire, Romeo is a Dead Man and John Carpenter's Toxic Commando doing well. Sadly situations like this is exactly why I don't like doing such topics. Sony delivered a rather difficult pill to swallow. They made a controversial decision to not bring Marvel's Wolverine to PC. Sony been making questionable to possibly laughable decisions.

It's almost like they want to rip people off. "Oh yeah you can play the game. All you need is buy an PlayStation 5 and the game. There you go suckers!!!" They don't realize how many people they just loss over that announcement. The newer stuff shown of the game isn't blowing people away either. I wish Wolverine could've had another decent game.

We don't know how they connect the game to their Spider-Man series. They also increased the prices for PlayStation 5 was a horrible idea. The fact they actually thought it was okay to do this to people!!! I already decided I'm not going to get into Marvel's Spider-Man series. Currently I only have Steam with these being such huge games.

I would be lucky to have enough room on my memory or my computer possibly handles the game at all. For what's already on Steam prior to this announcement. Suddenly I think back to that one vote for an game awards. At the time wasn't happy I couldn't vote for it along with the three games I selected. Now it's becoming quite clear this Wolverine game going to bomb hard.

It never was worthy of that vote I see that now. Especially what I been seeing from Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight. I rather play that over this any day of the week!!! No surprise, Resident Evil Requiem hit the ground swinging!!! I'm currently waiting to see how 007 First Light going to do. Which comes out next Wednesday funny enough.

I always been a huge Wolverine fan for a long time. I refuse to go out my way to buy an PS5 just to play this game. Especially Sony kept getting hacked recently. No thanks I'll stick to Steam and GOG a lot safer. Not only that, I also heard this Wolverine game might end up with alright maybe a little worst dialogue. I mean come on this is Wolverine!!!

One of the most bad ass members of the X-Men!!! This is how they're going to treat the character is inexcusable. At this point, Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics nails Wolverine!!! I highly recommend go play that collection over this!!! Especially if Wolverine among your favorite X-Men members.

I also refuse to accept the same developers previously done both Spyro and Ratchet & Clank series. They're still making Ratchet & Clank games. Yeah you can only go so far with such an reception. I wouldn't necessary say they're as dead to me as Naughty Dog. The original company behind Crash Bandicoot series.

In a way they aren't far from getting the same treatment. I'm more hyped for Bloodstained: The Scarlet Engagement, Gears of War: E-Day and a bit for Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls respectively. I'm sure all of those going to quickly blow Marvel's Wolverine away!!! You might've noticed I didn't say much about the other huge games I'm hyped for.

In my mind, bringing any of those that's out into this. Further sinks Marvel's Wolverine like quick sand. From what I seen of Fatal Frame II remake it's not even close!!! Marvel's Wolverine possibly going to start get a lot of preorders canceled soon. If that doesn't tell them how stupid this decision is. Then they really deserve to experience the full backlash of everything they're about to get in a couple months.

Marvel's Wolverine is set up to fail hard the way it's currently going. I really wish they didn't do that decision. Also rumors of a possibly troubled development isn't going to help things either. Especially for those that played their Spider-Man games. To be fair it's more of a life with the little time it has. Compared to the famous bad Suicide Squad game that's a spin off to Batman: Arkham series.

DC already had a lot of backlash with that. Now it looks like Marvel you're up for the same situation. Marvel within video games been questionable. You also could say that about DC which is also true. But man Marvel kept getting stinkers like no tomorrow. Marvel's Wolverine has a little hope to not entirely suck.

Even if it doesn't suck, it won't be something worth remembering. Especially if you played X-Men Arcade or X-Men Origins: Wolverine the PS3/Xbox 360 versions. Just saying there's a few options that's more worth your time. In all honestly, Marvel's Wolverine is going to fail hard. Also being a few months away from Grand Theft Auto VI.

I'm even more convinced Sony isn't thinking straight. It turns out there's an even bigger disconnect with their consumers I could possibly imagined. A room full of executives still makes money regardless if the game does well or not is kinda disgusting to me. Therefore, they don't even care how it's affecting everyone else.

Here's a game that should've been a possible renewal of spin off video games. Yet they are really going out their way to virtually kill every chance it could've had with people. I still think the game going to be a little better than Saints Row reboot. Which really isn't saying much either. Honestly, I'm even further done with Sony!!!

I really dislike how they do business video games wise. It's mind blowing they are going to do this!!! Marvel's Wolverine could've been canceled. At least, none of us had to experience a rather possibly disappointing game!!! Especially overtime all the stuff they intended to do comes out. I rather have that with this Wolverine game than it even coming out period!!!

I don't wanna say it's cancer but the game getting more difficult to look at or accept beyond that announcement. We did need another Wolverine game in all honestly. I felt they trimmed his claws before he even came out to play. This is undoubtably terrible they're going through it. Marvel's Wolverine gets it's planned DLCs cut down or none of it comes out.

Both are signs the game virtually already dead before arrival. I highly doubt at this point Sony going to do anything to save it. They literately nailed the final nail in it's coffin. Honestly, I can't even believe I'm writing this blog entry. In some ways this felt like a huge waste of everyone's time including my own. It also was a decent way to better present exactly how that announcement made me felt.

In another way I really shouldn't be too surprise with the current decline in AAA games. Especially when indie games are doing insanely well right now. Where it stands I refuse to play this Wolverine game. I also refuse to talk about it longer than necessary aka this blog entry!!! The bottom line is this Wolverine game should've gotten canned to save us from such a situation.

Especially when fan games may differ in quality. But there's some rather decent fan games around. I felt some of those already possibly better than this!!! Hell I could go full blown X-Men in Garry's Mod. I don't have S&box but that's on my list. Either going to be way better as well. Marvel's Wolverine is going to be forgotten the very day it comes out which is rather sad to think about.
