We recorded this on max settings on the Dolphin emulator. While the in-game graphics look absolutely amazing compared to the quality of the original, the pre-rendered cutscenes can't be up-resolutioned in the same way. There are also some cutscenes that aren't rendered correctly by the emulator, but we felt that overall it was good enough. Sorry about that.
Gamer's Little Playground OHH MY GOD YES!!!! Me and my brother used to play against each other in this when we were kids. He was always wolverine and I was always spider man
you know what the sad part is, EA bought the Marvel rights and this was the only game that ever came out of it. Clearly they didn't have a vision for what they wanted to do, and they figured they would just coast on the name. I know for me, I remember this game fondly. I can for sure say that it's NOT a good game now, objectively speaking. But I remember when I was younger, I was just happy to be playing as my favorite Marvel characters
I actually liked this game. A little rough around the edges. And the roster was a little small. I loved the dark tone. I have feeling that they were waiting fir a sequel and hoping this would sell and then they would put more effort in.
Dominic Decoco no, this game scared the shit out of me as a kid, cause growing up Marvel had a bright and colorful happy demeanor to their products but this game took a far darker and more cinematic tone, these characters and their back stories are ominous and unsettling
I agree. I played this game so much as a kid, and the menu's, story, as well as some of the characters freaked me out a bit. Still loved the hell out of it though.
Yea i liked how they build it up..first captain America getting killed and than the punisher...and shockingly HULK dying... Jesus the avengers were fucked
@Lord Jay they know the characters, but not the complete lore unless they've read comics. Still though. Marvel Nemesis did offer a unique voice compared to Modern Marvel
This game has popped in and out of my head for years since when I played it as a kid and all I could remember was the dark colors, the electric guy, and the fighting arena on top of the building. Seeing this right now is the weirdest feeling
That opening news report always stuck with me. The deaths of Captain America, Hulk, and Punisher still send shivers down my spine. I think if the story was redone now and given more of an extended story, this really could be something.
@Anthony Johnson Idk dude, a backwoods good ol boy on death row turned into a living electrical conduit, a team of soldiers frankensteined into a single person, a world renowned ballerina who'd go so far as to sell her soul just to dance again, a scientist who's only means of escaping a deadly chemical leak was to inject himself with the cures he had been working on only to get turned into a monster, most of these stories are generally unique to the marvel franchise. As for the whole gary/mary sue/stew thing, considering all the imperfects get defeated at one point or another, that kinda blows that whole thing outta the water, not even mentioning the fact that their fates were changed only when the doctor go a hold of them which means they didn't just become super powerful outta nowhere. Ya know. Like a mary sue
The imperfects are exactly as they sound...imperfect, just another copy of other characters combined. Marvel should just make a whole new game with the thunderbolts instead....and fuck EA
Idk what you guys mean with copies, I don't remember seeing before a ballerina with superstrength, a doctor with radiation powers, a frankestein with robot arms, a witch with teleporting powers or a doctor with fire powers. And quite honestly, has copycat characters ever been a real problem since Marvel has tons of them?
37:56 - Poisons Magneto. 38:11- Knocks Magneto over with him having little health left. 38:18- Magneto throws a freaking tank obliterating Hazmat. "Got Em" -Magneto
@@Powerzebra86422 it's rather the opposite. DC used to be the less dark and more lighthearted, then things got inverted as the Batman movies came out and Marvel tried a different approach after The Avengers
Never mind Hulk and Cap, seeing scraps of the Punisher’s costume flying like a flag in the wind next to a dropped minigun, of all things…yeesh. Pretty grim, considering he’s survived at least two end of the world “What If” scenarios and was even one of the last heroes standing during the possible bad future that Ronan showed us a glimpse of in Maximum Security.
Back when Spiderman 3 was released, I used to go to this game, pick that costume in Versus Mode, then pretend that was Spiderman with his black outfit, more agressive and dangerous. _Ah, my childhood..._ :') _Those golden times will never be forgotten._
You're dreaming if you think EA would let there be a sequel, Marvel should take all the imperfects and put them into a Netflix Mini-series, it practically rights itself.
*Abso-freaking-lutely.* In fact, I think the most important asset of this game _(among its many, like mechanics and graphics)_ is preciselly the music. It was so pumping! Like, everytime you heard any of the tracks, you could feel the *intensity* of the struggles your characters were facing! The hard battles, the hordes of aliens, the pain and frustration... you and the characters were feeling that TOGETHER! _Ahhh...! This one of my all time favourite games, I don't care what anyone else says._
AlphaBanjaxedBanshee I agree completely. But the only problem is that EA pretty much owns the imperfect property (despite Marvel making these characters) as part of an agreement when this game was made.
jirro alberto They can if they used a few Marvel villains as the Imperfects. Johnny Ohm is basically Electro and Roekel is like a Avengers villain in the comics (which I forgot which one)
Honestly, this game did not age well. I remember being amazed by the game's graphics and gameplay during the mid 2000's. But now the gameplay is unbalanced, I hate how you drain the power meter too quickly only to recharge for over 2-3 hours long and the graphics are pretty ugly (though still better than Marvel vs Capcom Infinite).
This game was like a horror super hero game to me when i was a kid. Its just so dark and depressing with 3 iconic heroes getting killed off and the aliens seeming to take over the world while our heroes struggle to fight back and get killed off or turned against one by one throughout the story. I wish it gotten the sequel to see how the story finished as theres so much to speculate on. Good memories
It's crazy to think that all of that was created by Van Roekel and what he labels _"a handful of resistance fighters"._ If they alone could create all this, *what the hell do the "refugees" that conquered his planet have in their armory?* Like, damn! All this stuff wasn't considered enough for Roekel, he thought a mass produced clone army of Paragon was the only way they would win. So how advanced and powerful are those bastards?! *_I wish this got a sequel..._* 😔
Damn, I remember this game very well. Had it on the Gamecube and remember it being frustrating as all hell, but fun at the same time. Obviously being a Spider-Man fan, I just loved the way Spidey was presented in this game. Very cocky and badass, just the way he should be. "Ya know what we call that? We call that a web-slinging ass-kickin'!" Lol. I also highly enjoyed the music and overall versus match-mode just to unlock all the characters. Hell, I spent more time with versus-matches than the actual story at hand.
Remember when their health was in "Danger" mode and that was practically the announcement of a "Finish Him"? I played it on the PS2 and you had to hold down L1 and press O, instant death, in the Thing's case he slams the enemy on the ground like 4 times.
Can we please get a sequel to this. The fighting was too fun. And the dark style was dope after. We need a bigger roster keep the knock off characters. Put aside the licensing issues. This game was the shit frfr
BABY AARON DUDE SAME I was like 9 but it was too dark and the music was ominous af, wish marvel could do this game again, doesn’t gotta be canon, just creators having fun like this
@@nicholasgoodard5746 things slams are broken, Spiderman on the bridge map is straight death,iron man is op,wolverine damage is insane,Venom is spiderman with max weight,human torch is kinda meh weaker iron man,Daredevils okay pretty much a weaker spiderman,elektra combos are great,storm was great and zoning, Magneto is fucking broken, Brigade is good if the opponent is dumb,paragon is op,wink is great in close quarters,shockwave or whatever her name is she Is basically a weaker but faster thing,hazmat is literally just spiderman slightly weaker with acid, solara is a better human torch,Johnny ohm is pretty top tier,Niles is also top tier Top tiers Spiderman,Iron man,Venom,Niles,Paragon,magneto,solara Everyone else is about the same
So much nostalgia. Crazy to think u was playing this at age of 6. Now I’m 21 and I refuse to believe it’s been that long. Remember playing this for hours at a time like it was yesterday.
I know I was just young when I played this game but the graphics on this were so amazing to me that it was another reason why I enjoyed this game as well.
This game is not hard at all... They gave you 2 powerful characters to start off The Thing: Just step on the opponents when they are down Johnny Ohm: Just electrocue them from a distance
Erik Jauregui desert storm was my shit I hated when one of my people would die and they would replace that character for the rest of game lol that game is underrated fr good times wit my brother as a youngster
There was a comic book series based on The Imperfects in this game, but since this game didn't sell well, Marvel has since said that they doubt they'll do anything with them again. They ARE great characters though, especially Brigade and The Wink.
I feel like they made Hulk die too easily. I've seen that dude in multiple events stabbed, beaten to literally near death, and much gruesome stuff. To see him die to one attack like that feels like they were good at implementing the aliens power but at the same time did the hulk dirty
Hulk survived a lot of horrendous injuries, such as having his entire skin burned off only to regenerate it within seconds, surviving decapitations among others yet here he got taken out by a measly energy blast from an alien drone
One of the Best fighting games of all-time and my personal favorite in my book, I know its unlikely but they need to make a sequel or at least a remastered version. #Thisgamewasmychildhood
We need another one of these. This game was so underrated. I remember my brother and I seeing Spider-Man on the box and flipping tf out in Walmart and begged our dad to get it. Ahh the good days of games.
Whoever thought that Marvel A-Listers like Captain America and Hulk should be killed off in the opening scene while the rest are effortlessly defeated by EA's OC characters must've been smoking something really weird
Experienced that a lot when playing. XD I think he only ever went straight for me, like, _twice? _*_Ever?_* 😂 Maybe they should've coded an initial behavior for the Thing to just charge ahead first, *then* let the AI do whatever. But, meh, it was still a funny occurence.
This game had so much potential, the characters were amazing and the combat was so original. I was hoping the arena style fighting would be the new norm.
I always will love this game Marvel Nemesis is a underrated game I love how serious and dark atmospheric the game is and the Imperfects backstories are unsettling I believe this game inspired Injustice I wish we had a Marvel game like this again.
nice! I remember seeing this game advertised in a PlayStation magazine and I ended up selling X2 Wolverines Revenge and Spider-Man Movie game to get it, played it and my god I was so disappointed, fun times
I miss this game it was cool, climbing the wall using wolverine was cool and using Iron man to fight a green version of himself was everything for me back then
I wish they could remaster this or make a sequel or something, but Marvel sold some superheroes... this includes the entire X-Men and Fantastic four... so they'll be missing sadly...
AlienMalakai well Disney bought all tights back , so now they can use all those charters and after Sonys last wave of Marvel products, it’s Disney’s turn
@@joelfigueredo957 Disney could have always used them. They DO own Fantastic 4 and X-men, it was the film rights portion that they didn't own and because of that Disney just chose to ignore them all together.
I really loved this game. The gameplay was fun and the story was unique. The graphics were very good for the time. The colors and soundtrack were very 'Dark City'. It was great.
Loved this game as a child, played all the way to Elektra story line (which was very early in the game), but then the disk gave up on me and I'm unable to finish the game until now.... Friggin disk man....
