Just wanted to let you all know that I had to make some unfortunate cuts to the original video. It was brought to my attention that the music in the leaked build isn't actually original to Daredevil, and it instead comes from the game City of Heroes. This makes a lot of my commentary on the music irrelevant, so I felt it was best to cut those sections out. More specifically, I cut out the: - main menu music around the 8 minute mark - the sewer ambience around the 48 minute mark - and the music portion of the audio section around the 1 hour 30 minute mark So if there are any awkward cuts around those times, that's why and I apologize. Sorry for the mix-up. Thank you to those of you who brought it to my attention!
Sad to see this game never make the light of day back then; maybe with the tech we have now, the game can be remade from the ground up with a lot of those original ideas, even though it'll be a different development team handling it.
@@randomguy1912 I imagine modern hardware could provide a really incredible daredevil game. Everything 5000ft wanted to accomplish with their daredevil game and then some. I desperately hope someone takes a crack at it in the next few years. Im surprised nobody has tried since this game
I'll always admire your sincerity towards your work. You're one of those youtubers who genuinely deserve more respect and audience support. Keep up the good work man. Your videos are one of the most consistent one when it comes to quality.
@@theperspective4357 Thank you! That really means a lot to me, and I appreciate you taking the time to tell me. I’ll work to maintain that same level of quality :)
@@alwaysnerdyretros There are other games you can cover that never released. The flash game by bottle rocket, superman by factor 5, canceled dark knight game by pandemic studios, batman by Monolith, project sabbath by WB Montreal and the canceled THQ avengers game. I never got a notification.
I love he cutscenes from this game. So stylized that I wish more comic book games these days would lean into. Now we're so focused on mocap and these big CGI movie moments. But a game like Ultimate Spider-man stays in your mind because of how stylistic it was.
A REALLY cool gameplay idea for a daredevil game would be having lawyer side missions. A client would visit the firm and have a case for you to tackle. When you hear out the client, you gather clues as daredevil and go through your evidence BUT there is a catch. Some clients are actually guilty and you have the choice to destroy evidence and intentionally botch the case so they get arrested, or defend and successfully win but the guilty client goes free. This ties in perfectly with the dark morality of the legal system in the daredevil comics, where Matt is often conflicted and critical of it. Do you do the right thing and let a criminal get punished while sacrificing your integrity as a lawyer? Or stay true to lawyer principals and assure every client gets a fair trial? I'd even have different dialogues Matt says after a case depending on how it went like him feeling horrible that a guilty man walked free, or Matt wondering if he's right for intentionally sending a guilty client to prison when he promised a fair trial
Would love to see a triple-A Daredevil game with in-depth combat and parkour system, as you traverse a smaller scale environment of Hell’s Kitchen, sewers, and numerous buildings
Hahaha even I didn't expect it. This was meant to be a quick 20 minute bonus video that blew up into a full-on retrospective. I'll monitor how this video does and whether viewers want more like it. If so, I'll see if there are some other good candidates.
Its too bad a game like spider man shattered dimensions didn't exist when this game was being made as that spiderman game's level design and style would have helped this company's vision i feel
Honestly had someone waited and brought up the idea of a DD game at the time shattered dimensions relawed months after, it would've led somewhere. I'm really Suprised after all these years, no one took a Crack at it once again
I didn't even think of that. This would be an easy win for insomniac. I'd prefer them make this instead of Wolverine. We already had a pretty good Wolverine game in Origins.
I always felt that Assassin's Creed is basically what a Daredevil game would be like. With the parkour, combat and even the special sight of the Assassin's would be very much like Daredevil's sonar senses.
Fantastic video as always! Genuine shame this game never happened. Hopefully we get a Daredevil game soon enough. I'd say maybe Insomniac but because of that leak we know that a Daredevil game is not something they're working on. Shame. Oh well, it is what it is
Hard to imagine how a Daredevil game could be made and not feel exactly like Batman. The Batman mechaincs & gameplay fit PERFECTLY with Daredevil. All the way down to the detective mode (Blind Mode)
It sucks we didn’t get this, this would’ve been a ps2 hit just like Ultimate Spiderman! Now is a better time than ever to make a Daredevil game. After his Netflix show he got immensely popular, so I hope in the next couple years, maybe Insomniac, will make a Daredevil game.
A Daredevil should be a MAJOR priority for Marvel. Any good developer willing to make it is welcomed. Imagine a Daredevil game with the combination style of Rocksteady’s Batman and Insomniac’s Spider-Man with the combat style of Sifu and Nightwing from Arkham City, open world game, with dialogue choices for court cases from Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney as well as detective missions, it would be one of THE BEST Marvel games EVER.
I'm really surprised that nobody's taken a crack at it since this game. I think even Troy Baker has expressed interest in voicing Daredevil. My understanding is that Marvel let's developers pick the projects/characters they want to tackle, so I guess other characters keep winning out over Daredevil.
@@alwaysnerdyretros same here Hopefully one studio takes a shot at making a game about the horn head lawyer. Also Troy Baker voicing Daredevil? The man pulls of Batman with flying colors, Daredevil would fit him like a glove.
If Daredevil ever gets an open-world game they should pull from old members of his rouges gallery, Death-Stalker would be an amazing pull and he's one of my favorite obscure characters since his design, powers, and backstory are great but he's been dead in the comics since Jimmy Carter was president, he has so much storytelling potential for a revival (and this is coming from someone who thinks most characters should stay dead in comics).
I’m really excited to release that one! It has a lot more depth than I initially realized, so there’s a lot to discuss in it and I think it’ll be a good one. I’m hoping to have it ready maybe around September/October.
Lovely work you did presenting this game, it's a shame it got canceled, would be nice to see it come back today and probably have Insomniac Games work on it to match what they did with Spider-Man 2018. The voice actor for Dare Devil sounds like the same voice from the Spider-Man animated series from the 90s, the IMDB shows Edward Albert who passed away in 2006. The Voice actor for King Pin was done by Roscoe Lee Brown in the animated series who passed away in 2007, but it doesn't sound like him at all in this game.
I really hope there'll finally be a big budget Daredevil game at somepoint. I don't necessarily think it needs to be as big of a budget as the recent Spider-Man games, for example, but it'd be nice if it were a smaller scope, less bloated linear hub based game instead of an open world. But I wouldn't be opposed to a full open world if traversal could be made entertaining enough to account for a much larger world. My ideal traversal for a DD game would probably be something akin to the recently released Rooftops and Alleys for the parkour and the grappling from the Arkham games mixed with basic swinging from said grapple.
yeah, I don't want a massive open world DD game, but I'd love something with a sort of smaller, very intricately designed open world. Less Arkham Knight, more Arkham City. Something where we get familiar with individual alleys and fire escapes. Just Hell's Kitchen with lots of detail, rather than all of Manhattan.
@@kellymccabe9154 agreed 100%. A relatively large Hells Kitchen as a hub type of thing (kinda like Prague in Deus Ex Mankind Divided for example) with some side activities. Linear, thought out stage for some larger missions. I think it could 100% work. Realistically I think open world is what it’d be, because everything has to be open world for some reason :/ One can dream though
@gargablargblarg yeah, really wish everything didn't need to be massive open worlds all the time. I think Daredevil would be much better suited to something that is a little smaller but more intricate and occasionally linear. I imagine going to a new location (enemy base in a warehouse, Sewer system, chop shop, etc.) and starting off with everything grey around you, only becoming visible as you bear sounds and explore, slowly uncovering new locations, to mimic DD being blind.
I can see it happen at some point, but it all comes down to who's willing to put in that work? I would say they should give a Crack at platinum games..but idk
I wonder if you'll ever take a look at BottleRocket's cancelled Flash game. Also, listening to the bits of music from this game makes me wish Techno would come back into the mainstream.
Out of all the Marvel Characters that are long overdue for a AAA Game,Daredevil need to be one of them and Troy Baker recently said that he would be on board to see a Daredevil Game and potentially even Voice the Character.
How on EARTH did this happen? I remember wanting to play this as a kid and being so sad it was cancelled. I had absolutely no idea it was even this far along and the possibility of it being RELEASED in ANY WAY is completely mind blowing to me. I have so much on my backlog to play but I may make an exception for this because I wanted to play this for so long and thought it would be impossible to ever get a chance. With this said, I'm sure someone will finish it and I can't wait!
It's not getting finished. Someone leaked an old build of it that you can play for yourself on an emulator, but it's not in any kind of active development
I had to stop watching cuz I haven’t read the Miller run and you were talking just a little too much about it for me personally. But I just wanted to say that from what I’ve watched this video is really well done, informative and engaging and once I do read Millers run I’ll be coming right back to watch from beginning to end.
No worries! I went pretty deep on the comics for context, since I assume most viewers either haven't read those comics or don't plan to. I talk comics throughout the rest of the video, so definitely return when you're comfortable. When you're done though, I think you'll enjoy the rest of the video, since you'll have a newfound appreciation for what the developers were going for in their game.
@@alwaysnerdyretros Oh yeah I totally see why you were talking about the comics, I’m just overly pedantic and prefer knowing literally nothing before hopping into something new. But yeah it seems like I’ll get a new-found appreciation once I come back.
No I haven't tried them yet, but I'd like to a do a video on them in the future! I'm waiting to play them before that so I can go in blind. I'll probably look into those games more seriously as we approach the movie (assuming they ever stop delaying it)
This video was so good!!Could you try to do SPIDER-MAN FRIEND OR FOE?? I thought I knew about all the spidey games but I seen this one on TikTok and then looked it up and barely found any RUclips videos on it, I think it’d make for a pretty good video! all though i know absolutely nothing about the game
Thank you and I’ll keep friend or foe in mind! I have a few other Spider-Man games I need to do first, but like you said, that could be a fun one to mix in at some point
I‘m at 7:47 and i just thought immediately: This is literally the glide from infamous 1&2. I wonder if one of the developers worked on infamous later on or if this is just a random coincidence but man this looks almost 1/1
Always appreciate the effort you pour into these videos. You bring substance to your material. Been subbed for awhile now keep it up! It's a shame this game got cancelled. In terms of licensed games, the gameplay seemed way ahead of its time. Hope to see Hulk ultimate destruction one day
I honestly think if insomniac did a daredevil game they should add Muse as a side quest/ villain. It'd be pretty cool if they handled it similar to how Hush's side quest was in Arkham City imo
In the design documents I read, that wasn't mentioned, but that's a fun idea! Kind of like the arcade upgrades in Spider-Man 2. From what i read though, it sounded to me like Josies was going to be a place to gather intel from Turk.
I remember DD being my favourite character as a kid. I was so excited about the prospect of a game where you can play as DD, as the trailers and gameplay videos on the early internet looked so good to me. I was disappointed to find out the game was cancelled
Same, it was such a gut punch when it was cancelled. The leaked playable build and learning more about the game has at least been a little bit of closure for me
@@OscarDirlwood He’s fun in the MUA games, but I agree it’s not enough. My hope is that with Daredevils integration into the MCU, it’ll spark more interest in him to the point someone is willing to attempt a solo game for him. God I hope so lol.
@@alwaysnerdyretros were getting a new Wolverine game, I hope DD gets a similar treatment. I can imagine DD being like the Arkham games. Swapping Detective vision for his sonar
This cancelled game needs to get picked back up and modernized with all this mechanics that this game had like the insomniac, Spider-Man games, and obviously sucker punches Arkham games they were on to something with this concept that I think would work today if they’ll remake this game
Hey! I've been watching your videos lately and they are some of the most entertaining! and this is no exception. Now I have a question, is there a problem if I use something from the exclusive storyboards that you show here? I want to make a video of the game but for the public in Spanish, and I would like to have it as complete as possible.
Thank you and I agree, Daredevil deserves a solo game. Also, I've been getting a lot of requests for Ultimate Destruction lately, so it's definitely high on my priority list. X2: Wolverine's Revenge and Guardians of the Galaxy are my next two, but I haven't decided what will come after that yet.
You should probably do guardians next since it's overdue. I feel like x2: Wolverine's revenge would have made more sense to coincide with doctor strange and the Multiverse of madness since both have Patrick Stewart as Prof. X and X-Men origins or X-Men the official game should have been one of the next games so it would coincide with Deadpool and Wolverine since all three have Hugh Jackman as wolvie. But that's just my opinion. Think you'll do Captain America: super soldier when brand new world comes out? In case you don't know, there's a deleted cutscene in Wolverine's revenge with Spider-Man when you 100% it or something
I'm doing good, thanks for asking! I'm trying to decide when to do Deadpool. I have the game disc sitting in my closet ready to be covered, but I have other projects that are taking priority. I don't currently have a good estimate on when I'll actually do that video, but I'll continue to gauge interest on it over the coming months. So I won't have a video for him alongside the upcoming movie, but I'm hoping to have X2: Wolverine's Revenge release sometime early August.
as a giant daredevil fan, im so happy to see you cover this cause ive been watching you for a few years at this point. always love whenever you bring DD up. i actually made one of the only videos doing a retrospective on the released DD game for gameboy a little over a year ago: ruclips.net/video/v59hyHWFiuM/видео.htmlsi=pg3zQBcJTXdJrAi9 am glad there’s more videos on this type of stuff around the character
Dude I absolutely love how you use scenes from the show to illustrate key points that are similar in the game. That being said, why didn't you use the sewer fight scenes against the hand when talking about the sewer levels? Missed opportunity!
I'm fairly certain that Kingpin is Roscoe Lee Brown who did the voice for him in Spider-Man The Animated series I could be wrong but the similarities are massive.
Man, letting scope creep and the push for AAA completely destroy projects is horrible. Like, it seems so obvious in retrospect that it would have been better to make a small scaled down game and even sell it for cheaper and then, if it sold well, push for a AAA game afterward.
Agreed. As disappointing as it to think of the game we missed out on here, the missed potential of sequels and spinoffs is even more upsetting. The team clearly had some excellent ideas, so I would have loved to have seen what they could pull off with an adequate engine
neat video, shame it got cancled, couldve predate arkham and been an entirely new thing, so when are you getting back to the spiderman games? kinda been looking forward for an ultimate spiderman retrospect
Still deciding on Spider-Man. I want to give some attention to other characters first. Wolverine and Guardians of the Galaxy are what I’m currently working on, then I’ll probably do another non-spider game after. So it might be closer to early 2025 honestly
Thank you so much for this video Nerdy. Daredevil is my favorite Marvel hero and this game is the biggest what-if for me. This video is extremely well thought out and interesting. Good work!
I beg of you please make this video. I have been looking for content on the leaked Marvel Legends build. It has so much interesting content worth covering in the build alone. I would myself if I knew what I was doing and had the skills needed to make it. It’s on hidden palace for the original Xbox, it’s the beta or alpha build for MUA with so many changes to levels, story, characters etc.
I wasn't aware of that build, thank you for bringing it to my attention! I don't know that I can commit to a full video on it just yet, but it's definitely something I'll play around with and look into more!
is there a limit to what kinda marvel games you review? like are you planning on reviewing games like lego marvel super heroes? or do you plan to stick to the regular marvel games?
Perfect upload to have on while doing things around the house, your stuff is super informative and interesting! Hope to see you cover more lesser known marvel games from this era, xmen next dimension, the fantastic four games, etc. Side note a video on the movie tie in hulk game would be a neat watch as it sure is a game that did release 😭
That's my goal! Hulk and F4 especially need some coverage on the channel. I'll still throw in some modern games occasionally, but my hope is to have a good balance of old and new, if not skewing a bit more to older games. Honestly, they're faster to make, which is nice for me too lol.
I know that you mainly talk about video games, but considering the topic of the video, I wanted to ask what your thoughts are on the Daredevil 2015 series? I think it's a near excellent adaptation of the character and one of the greatest representations of a comic book character outside the comics. Also wanted to ask if you're excited for its continuation which is aptly named Daredevil Born Again, which is basically Daredevil season 4 similar to how X-Men '97 is pretty much X-Men: The Animated Series season 6?
I love the 2015 Daredevil series!!! I'd say it's amongst my favorite shows of all time and I rewatch it somewhat regularly. I'm excited for Born Again as well. Hearing that Marvel delayed the project to do rewrites and reshoots makes me optimistic that they're taking care to do it right. In general, I'm just happy to see Charlie Cox's Daredevil return at all, because things were looking pretty bleak for a while lol. What are your thoughts?
@@alwaysnerdyretros I completely agree. I'm currently rewatching it as well. The very few things I wasn't necessarily a fan of was killing off Ben Urich and the Hand felt a little too small scale. I love all the announcements and the returning cast. I especially especially loved when it was announced Wilson Bethel was returning as Bullseye. The Marco Checchetto suit for Bullseye wasn't my favourite but I'm sure he'll get another in the future. I just hope that in the next season they bring back Elodie Yung as Elektra.
Totally agree on Elektra and Bullseye. Finally a bullseye that might get some adamantium after a cliffhanger too. The punisher game and the DD movie teased his return but never did it. It's been like a curse lol. I'm hoping that Jessica Jones make an appearance too, since she was my next favorite Defender.
@@alwaysnerdyretros I know his character died, but I desperately hope that David Tennant returns as the Purple Man, because I honestly think he might be my absolute favourite live-action Marvel villain.

Retrospective
I’m really excited to release that one! It has a lot more depth than I initially realized, so there’s a lot to discuss in it and I think it’ll be a good one. I’m hoping to have it ready maybe around September/October.
I really want a DareDevil game so bad now I do hope someone picks up this game finish and release it on current gen consoles
we live in a world where this got shelved and dark tomorrow released.

This game has more gameplay Innovation and mechanics Deep concepts than the lazy Insomniac Spidey games ever did. The combat looks so engaging

It's not getting finished. Someone leaked an old build of it that you can play for yourself on an emulator, but it's not in any kind of active development
Kingpin sounds like they wanted to remind us of 90's Spider-Man Kingpin.
The goat is back
I had to stop watching cuz I haven’t read the Miller run and you were talking just a little too much about it for me personally. But I just wanted to say that from what I’ve watched this video is really well done, informative and engaging and once I do read Millers run I’ll be coming right back to watch from beginning to end.
No worries! I went pretty deep on the comics for context, since I assume most viewers either haven't read those comics or don't plan to. I talk comics throughout the rest of the video, so definitely return when you're comfortable. When you're done though, I think you'll enjoy the rest of the video, since you'll have a newfound appreciation for what the developers were going for in their game.
@@alwaysnerdyretros Oh yeah I totally see why you were talking about the comics, I’m just overly pedantic and prefer knowing literally nothing before hopping into something new. But yeah it seems like I’ll get a new-found appreciation once I come back.
@@critique0767 haha not a problem at all! I’m the same way about potential spoilers
Nice video. Have you played the Blade games on ps1 and ps2?? Those reviews would be sweet
No I haven't tried them yet, but I'd like to a do a video on them in the future! I'm waiting to play them before that so I can go in blind. I'll probably look into those games more seriously as we approach the movie (assuming they ever stop delaying it)
This video was so good!!Could you try to do SPIDER-MAN FRIEND OR FOE?? I thought I knew about all the spidey games but I seen this one on TikTok and then looked it up and barely found any RUclips videos on it, I think it’d make for a pretty good video! all though i know absolutely nothing about the game
Thank you and I’ll keep friend or foe in mind! I have a few other Spider-Man games I need to do first, but like you said, that could be a fun one to mix in at some point
@@alwaysnerdyretros Preciate you! I’ll be tuned into those as well
I‘m at 7:47 and i just thought immediately: This is literally the glide from infamous 1&2. I wonder if one of the developers worked on infamous later on or if this is just a random coincidence but man this looks almost 1/1
The voice of Kingpin was Actor Roscoe Lee Brown who voiced Kingpin in the 90's Animated Spider-Man cartoon Fox Saturday.😊
Love watching your videos bro , keep up the grind💪🏽
I appreciate it and I will! More to come!
By the looks of things this could have been the Spider-man ps1 for Daredevil.
Naughty dog would make such a good daredevil game
Bro you totally deserve more subscribers
Welcome back missed you man
Finally someone does a full length video on this game!
bro if your watching this man's content and you ain't subscribed yet...WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!!!!
The soundtracks in this remind of similar ones from Spider-Man ps1/pc/N64
Always appreciate the effort you pour into these videos. You bring substance to your material. Been subbed for awhile now keep it up!
It's a shame this game got cancelled. In terms of licensed games, the gameplay seemed way ahead of its time.
Hope to see Hulk ultimate destruction one day
Thank you so much! I definitely plan to get to hulk ultimate destruction at some point. I’ve been getting quite a few requests for that one
I honestly think if insomniac did a daredevil game they should add Muse as a side quest/ villain. It'd be pretty cool if they handled it similar to how Hush's side quest was in Arkham City imo
This game gives me Ps1 Spiderman vibes I love it
I hope someday the 2007 cencelled flash game gets leaked online
I could’ve sworn Spider-Man came out before daredevil
I would guess the bar would be used similar to The Punishers home base in his game, a place for you to select levels and upgrades in between missions.
In the design documents I read, that wasn't mentioned, but that's a fun idea! Kind of like the arcade upgrades in Spider-Man 2. From what i read though, it sounded to me like Josies was going to be a place to gather intel from Turk.
1:31:52 check the voice cast of Spider-Man the Animated Series. That voice actor for kingpin is this same voice actor
He's back!
I remember DD being my favourite character as a kid. I was so excited about the prospect of a game where you can play as DD, as the trailers and gameplay videos on the early internet looked so good to me. I was disappointed to find out the game was cancelled
Same, it was such a gut punch when it was cancelled. The leaked playable build and learning more about the game has at least been a little bit of closure for me
@@alwaysnerdyretros id crawl over glass to have gotten a DD game. The closest I could get, were those Ultimate Marvel Alliance (or whatever) games.
@@OscarDirlwood He’s fun in the MUA games, but I agree it’s not enough. My hope is that with Daredevils integration into the MCU, it’ll spark more interest in him to the point someone is willing to attempt a solo game for him. God I hope so lol.
@@alwaysnerdyretros were getting a new Wolverine game, I hope DD gets a similar treatment.
I can imagine DD being like the Arkham games. Swapping Detective vision for his sonar
Definitely gotta do fantastic 4 ps1 and fantastic 4 (2005).
I agree! Those are two games I'm really eager to revisit. I'd love to get to one of them by the end of the year, if not early 2025.
If we ever get a Daredevil game that’s released, I hope we get to also play as his lawyer side. 🤔
8:42 that's a perfect Bruce Wayne voice 😳
Ayeee, glad you got your acc back.
Yes! I’m back!
Such an interesting game to cover. Always heard about this but seeing a dive into it is really interesting.
Honestly, I would even be happy if they made a telltale daredevil game like the batman one
Can you please do a video next time also about the cancelled marvel heroes omega video game ?
This cancelled game needs to get picked back up and modernized with all this mechanics that this game had like the insomniac, Spider-Man games, and obviously sucker punches Arkham games they were on to something with this concept that I think would work today if they’ll remake this game
Hey! I've been watching your videos lately and they are some of the most entertaining! and this is no exception. Now I have a question, is there a problem if I use something from the exclusive storyboards that you show here? I want to make a video of the game but for the public in Spanish, and I would like to have it as complete as possible.
Awesome video. I learned alot. I hope Daredevil gets a game "soon". I also really hope for a video on Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction
Thank you and I agree, Daredevil deserves a solo game. Also, I've been getting a lot of requests for Ultimate Destruction lately, so it's definitely high on my priority list. X2: Wolverine's Revenge and Guardians of the Galaxy are my next two, but I haven't decided what will come after that yet.
You should probably do guardians next since it's overdue. I feel like x2: Wolverine's revenge would have made more sense to coincide with doctor strange and the Multiverse of madness since both have Patrick Stewart as Prof. X and X-Men origins or X-Men the official game should have been one of the next games so it would coincide with Deadpool and Wolverine since all three have Hugh Jackman as wolvie. But that's just my opinion.
Think you'll do Captain America: super soldier when brand new world comes out?
In case you don't know, there's a deleted cutscene in Wolverine's revenge with Spider-Man when you 100% it or something
Great coverage! I dig this video. I just liked and subbed. Can't wait for the Wolverine X-2!
Hope we get punisher alongside daredevil in the near future. There’s more to marvel than just avengers & Spider-Man
I'm currently playing the Punisher game from 2005 and it's a blast. These old games just got it. Wish we could've gotten this one too.
Speaking of sewers I wonder if they encountered the morlocks from X-Men are the lizard man from Spider-Man or the TMNT at some point LOL
Glad to have you back.
Thank you! I’m excited to be back
Hello Nerdy! Glad to see you again. Hope all is well with you! If it's possible, could you do a video on the Deadpool game?
I'm doing good, thanks for asking! I'm trying to decide when to do Deadpool. I have the game disc sitting in my closet ready to be covered, but I have other projects that are taking priority. I don't currently have a good estimate on when I'll actually do that video, but I'll continue to gauge interest on it over the coming months. So I won't have a video for him alongside the upcoming movie, but I'm hoping to have X2: Wolverine's Revenge release sometime early August.
@@alwaysnerdyretros There is a New Deadpool Movie with Cassandra Nova as the main villain. so maybe do it on the release day.
as a giant daredevil fan, im so happy to see you cover this cause ive been watching you for a few years at this point. always love whenever you bring DD up.
i actually made one of the only videos doing a retrospective on the released DD game for gameboy a little over a year ago: ruclips.net/video/v59hyHWFiuM/видео.htmlsi=pg3zQBcJTXdJrAi9
am glad there’s more videos on this type of stuff around the character
I'm excited to see your X2 wolverines revenge video and your Guardians of the Galaxy game video
Dude I absolutely love how you use scenes from the show to illustrate key points that are similar in the game. That being said, why didn't you use the sewer fight scenes against the hand when talking about the sewer levels? Missed opportunity!
You always upload and I don’t get the damn notification
Did you click the bell icon? I don’t think subscribing alone enables notifications
It’s on, I must just miss it. Still annoying though
@@mikewazaski8597 That is annoying, I hope it’s working properly
Great Video! If you have time, X-men Destiny is a pretty interesting game.
I'm fairly certain that Kingpin is Roscoe Lee Brown who did the voice for him in Spider-Man The Animated series
I could be wrong but the similarities are massive.
Oh, never heard of that game. Thanks a lot for enlightening us about it!)
No problem, thanks for checking it out!
1:27:36 that kingpin voice sounds straight up 90s Spider-Man The Animated Series
Man, letting scope creep and the push for AAA completely destroy projects is horrible. Like, it seems so obvious in retrospect that it would have been better to make a small scaled down game and even sell it for cheaper and then, if it sold well, push for a AAA game afterward.
Agreed. As disappointing as it to think of the game we missed out on here, the missed potential of sequels and spinoffs is even more upsetting. The team clearly had some excellent ideas, so I would have loved to have seen what they could pull off with an adequate engine
☺️ Happy birthday to me! New video!!!
Happy Birthday!!!
@@alwaysnerdyretros Thank you so much! I can't wait to watch this video and to see more like it in the future keep up the amazing work! 😁👍
Will do! Thanks for checking it out and I hope you enjoy!
You forgot to mention The Hulk as being one of the few Marvel movies to be realized in the early 2000’s.
It wasn't well received and bombed
neat video, shame it got cancled, couldve predate arkham and been an entirely new thing, so when are you getting back to the spiderman games? kinda been looking forward for an ultimate spiderman retrospect
Still deciding on Spider-Man. I want to give some attention to other characters first. Wolverine and Guardians of the Galaxy are what I’m currently working on, then I’ll probably do another non-spider game after. So it might be closer to early 2025 honestly
Thank you so much for this video Nerdy. Daredevil is my favorite Marvel hero and this game is the biggest what-if for me. This video is extremely well thought out and interesting. Good work!
Thank you very much! Similar to you, this game has been on my mind ever since its cancellation, so it was exciting for me to research
This cancelled game has a lot of similarities to the Arkham series. A DD Arkham clone sounds legit
Man , I’m not even a big daredevil fan or a gamer and even im disappointed that this game got cancelled .
This game has more gameplay Innovation and mechanics Deep concepts than the lazy Insomniac Spidey games ever did. The combat looks so engaging
I beg of you please make this video. I have been looking for content on the leaked Marvel Legends build. It has so much interesting content worth covering in the build alone. I would myself if I knew what I was doing and had the skills needed to make it. It’s on hidden palace for the original Xbox, it’s the beta or alpha build for MUA with so many changes to levels, story, characters etc.
I wasn't aware of that build, thank you for bringing it to my attention! I don't know that I can commit to a full video on it just yet, but it's definitely something I'll play around with and look into more!
Daredevil and Moon Knight deserves a game of their own.
Awesome written game ideas with kingpin faking his death and using DD to his advantage. Sad great ideas like this don't make it to completion
We’ve looked forward to your upload. Please keep up the great work. Your extremely diligent and it shows in your format
Thank you and will do!
Thank you as always for the amazing content!!!! 😁😁👍
is there a limit to what kinda marvel games you review? like are you planning on reviewing games like lego marvel super heroes? or do you plan to stick to the regular marvel games?
Now we need it as a first person game 👁️👄👁️
➖👄➖
When do you plan on releasing another Spider-Man video
I have some other characters I want to do videos on first so I'm not entirely sure. Maybe towards the end of the year into 2025?
Relax with Spidey requests 😂
I remember seeing a screenshot of this in a PlayStation magazine many years back. Was always disappointed it never ended up coming out.
man it sucks how daredevil always gets snubbed the cancelled animated series & the cancelled video game 😔
Did you already cover the canceled flash game that was supposed to come out in 2008 but was canned due to lack of staff by brash entertainment
This is the first cancelled game I've covered. I'm not sure yet if I'll do more, but I'll look into that flash game. Thank you for the suggestion!
@@alwaysnerdyretros no problem and thank you for looking into it
Perfect upload to have on while doing things around the house, your stuff is super informative and interesting!
Hope to see you cover more lesser known marvel games from this era, xmen next dimension, the fantastic four games, etc.
Side note a video on the movie tie in hulk game would be a neat watch as it sure is a game that did release 😭
That's my goal! Hulk and F4 especially need some coverage on the channel. I'll still throw in some modern games occasionally, but my hope is to have a good balance of old and new, if not skewing a bit more to older games. Honestly, they're faster to make, which is nice for me too lol.
I know that you mainly talk about video games, but considering the topic of the video, I wanted to ask what your thoughts are on the Daredevil 2015 series? I think it's a near excellent adaptation of the character and one of the greatest representations of a comic book character outside the comics. Also wanted to ask if you're excited for its continuation which is aptly named Daredevil Born Again, which is basically Daredevil season 4 similar to how X-Men '97 is pretty much X-Men: The Animated Series season 6?
I love the 2015 Daredevil series!!! I'd say it's amongst my favorite shows of all time and I rewatch it somewhat regularly. I'm excited for Born Again as well. Hearing that Marvel delayed the project to do rewrites and reshoots makes me optimistic that they're taking care to do it right. In general, I'm just happy to see Charlie Cox's Daredevil return at all, because things were looking pretty bleak for a while lol. What are your thoughts?
@@alwaysnerdyretros I completely agree. I'm currently rewatching it as well. The very few things I wasn't necessarily a fan of was killing off Ben Urich and the Hand felt a little too small scale. I love all the announcements and the returning cast. I especially especially loved when it was announced Wilson Bethel was returning as Bullseye. The Marco Checchetto suit for Bullseye wasn't my favourite but I'm sure he'll get another in the future. I just hope that in the next season they bring back Elodie Yung as Elektra.
Totally agree on Elektra and Bullseye. Finally a bullseye that might get some adamantium after a cliffhanger too. The punisher game and the DD movie teased his return but never did it. It's been like a curse lol. I'm hoping that Jessica Jones make an appearance too, since she was my next favorite Defender.
@@alwaysnerdyretros I know his character died, but I desperately hope that David Tennant returns as the Purple Man, because I honestly think he might be my absolute favourite live-action Marvel villain.
@@The_Phantasm He’s so great! I want him back too. I guess they could do some alt universe version of him?
This is crazy long for the amount of gameplay available man you just go on and on forevet
damn wtf this game would’ve been so cool
The Gang War happens and in spider-man 2018 on dlcs
Please do the ultimate Spider-Man game next!!!!
