Quoted from calsheimer:
Any of the recent games I can think of with clips are mostly hokey to me. Thinking GotG and Wonka for starters. Animations a la Deadpool seems like a workaround to make the game feel more complete and integrated w/o dealing with the complications from clip licensing.
I agree that movie clips aren't a must-have. It's all about how they use them. GotG movie clips can get repetetive if you're starting modes multiple times. Then you have something like JJP PotC that doesn't use clips, but they do incorporate the actors likenesses and make it work. DeadPool isn't based on the movies, so the "old video game" style was an inspired idea in my opinion.
Quoted from JodyG:
I like the idea of all animated clips instead of original movie clips and original characters...that's actually a selling point for me.
Without clips, likenesses or voice call-outs, what makes it Jurassic Park? Music and a drawing of Newman?...sorry, I mean Nedry? I don't have any skin in this game, as I'm probably not in the market again yet, but why not call this 60 Million BC and save the license money. Are licenses really that cheap?
