What happened to GOOD movie tie-ins?

>tfw you could never beat the centaur.

How the fuck was I supossed to know you has to ride him?

Replaced by mobile game tie-ins since that's what all the kids are playing and they're easier and cheaper to make.

Make way for the best movie tie-in game

Companies who develop successful games don't want all their hard work owned by another company. It used to be that riding an established brands' coattails was a viable strategy to move units and keep the electricity on, but the games industry kept getting bigger and bigger and more and more capable of standing on its own two feet to the point that it became bigger than Hollywood. That's why Blizzard soured to Games Workshop and retooled their would-be WH and 40k games into proprietary intellectual properties.
>"[Blizzard co-founder] Allen Adham hoped to obtain a license to the Warhammer universe to try to increase sales by brand recognition", Wyatt says. "Warhammer was a huge inspiration for the art-style of Warcraft, but a combination of factors, including a lack of traction on business terms and a fervent desire on the part of virtually everyone else on the development team (myself included) to control our own universe nixed any potential for a deal. We had already had terrible experiences working with DC Comics on "Death and Return of Superman" and "Justice League Task Force", and wanted no similar issues for our new game."
Ironically, Blizzard ended up fucking over Condor/Blizzard North with Diablo the same way. Shame.

KICK IT DANNY

Movie studios learned they can make massive bank for little cost by making mobile game tie-ins instead

The same thing that happened to all the good things on this graceful Earth, smartphones ruined them.

Why does it look like Vegas?

I replayed hercules recently. The horse flying level at the end is fucking impossible. I had to cheat my way with save states.

Even if that was shitty to play the soundtrack would have elevated it to good

HERCYOOLAYS

herculade :3

I remember playing this way after it came out on ps2 on a whim and being impressed even then

You don't Hercules was meant to be hardcore game with no tutorials or guidance

It takes much more money now to make a GOOD video game.

You posted the wrong image.

Yeah its definitely a selection bias. There will always be the occasional good licensed game, which will automatically be remembered for being a good licensed game, while you just forget the 100+ other ones that you will never even pick up because its obvious how bad they are.

The SNES/Genesis era had decidedly the best ratio, and I think that skews Millennial memories even further but the trick is that they were almost all exclusively platformers using established mechanics. It was hard to make them bad, because making it cookie-cutter wasn't much effort.

BLACK GUY GIRL GET IN HERE I SPOTTED AN IRREGULARITY

Will it ever go on sale?

yeah even as a kid I knew most were shit, which in turn makes those few good movie games seem all the more better
The king kong game stood out as good to me back then, kong stuff wasn't too hot and the arsenal of guns is pretty weak (the tommy gun does so little fucking damage, hip firing sniper is the best), but the spear combat and techniques are amazing. It has a pc port too, so it's not hard to enjoy now, and it still looks pretty nice.

Zero to Hero is the best Disney song.

Kong had some great ost. youtube.com/watch?v=gjEMedxfvUQ

Anyone who has played this game knows this to be the truth
