Remember these movie games existed? - Fantastic 4 (PS2)

[@raylink283]

Easter Egg, The Things opening level in the hospital, he has a Fantastic 4 book next to his bed on the nightstand. This is a reference to the movie having the same easter egg. Because Michael Chiklis was an actual Fantastic Four fan growing up. To the point where they wanted to CGI him but he wanted an actual costume for the movie.

[@TheDeathsHead]

Fun Fact: Stan Lee gave every character alliterative names because it made it easier for him to remember them. Though he still messed up even while using that trick, which is why Bruce Banner's name is actually Robert Bruce Banner. Because Lee kept calling him Bob Banner by accident.

[@gusbabiski]

and there's also the classic case of Peter Palmer

[@captainfach]

They also called him Donald Blake once in an early avengers comic lol

[@rudereckoning118]

You're not crazy. All Marvel movies across the board had basically the same intro until the MCU started. I mentioned it once to friends and was laughed off, but they ALL started by zooming through CGI stuff at a microscopic level. Webs, living cells, molecules, or DNA. Made enough sense, to be fair. The majority of Marvel characters kind of share genetic mutation as part of their motifs.

[@JamesJohnson-tr1gu]

That's one thing I noticed about Marvel vs DC...Marvel characters usually get their abilities via some kind of genetic mutation, whereas a lot of DC characters are straight up aliens, vigilantes, or magic based powers

[@DrayLoco]

@@JamesJohnson-tr1guI think maybe that has something to do with how relatable Marvel characters are compared to DC. They generally seem more like normal people in a super situation

[@DrayLoco]

Mind you I like DC a lot, and they have their share of relatable heroes as well, but just not as many or at least not as many mainstream ones

[@jlb9577]

I LOVED this game as a kid. I played it to death, unlocked all the upgrades and concept art, and the Hell hidden levels. Had a blast, thanks for the nostalgia

[@SteelBallRun1890]

The funny part about Mr. Fantastic is that in videogame format they can literally just excuse any off-modeled shot as Mr. Fantastic using his powers.

[@flippedoutkyrii]

I remember seeing a trailer with some of the most ill-fitting mid 00's punk-alternative music on an old Xbox Demo disc in 2005 and then forgetting about it for 17 years. Honestly this video did a better job selling it. Looks like a janky yet fun beat-em-up!

[@Aeravon]

Sassy video editor wins the battle, and my appreciation.

[@ShaunMart92]

Seeing all the love for this game I also loved as a kid is heartwarming. It gets much better, you should play more.

[@uac9000]

I really enjoyed this one as a kid, as movie tie ins go I found it to be genuinely fun and well made all things considered.

[@GenerationWest]

"Who played this as chil-" Me... I played it because I was a massive Fantastic Four fan, and really like the first movie then... Not so much now. And yes, I beat the entire game, with my friend too (We would always play Marvel Nemesis, X-Men Legends 2, Hulk Ultimate Destruction, Ultimate Alliance and this, constantly), it actually used a lot of Fantastic Four lore that probably won't get adapted untill the MCU does something with it. I know it's a joke but the reason why each member has a different power because of their personality traits (which in the movie makes it VERY obvious.)

[@MoojinBoi]

the movie was a necessary evil, and oh so unnecessary now lmao

[@anispidey]

I remember in some interview a long time ago that Stan did he said that collectively the F4 powers are representative of the 4 basic elements, 2 very obvious and 2 with some liberties. Reed-water( stretching fluidity), Sue-wind (invisibility and the force of said invisibility), Johnny-fire, and Ben-earth obviously.

[@NadeemShekh-uy9zn]

I love all those games man

[@LGF18]

I rememeber this game being pretty fun. I like how you can combine powers, and that it has 4 player Co op. I'd love to see you continue playing. Merry Christmas

[@LieutenantAmerica]

I would LOVE to see more of this game. It's a huge blast from the past.

[@jotaro21]

Well done on the job as snap in river city girls 2 Matt, that was a fun surprise.

[@BludhavenKnights]

This game is such a core memory, but I swear I've never come close to finishing it. This was back before I realized that video games were supposed to be good. Also, this movie and game were my introduction to the Fantastic Four, who are now probably my favorite Marvel characters.

[@BotanicMoney]

I remember playing this game so much as a kid. We could never get past the 2nd level cause we sucked at button mashing as kids lmao.

[@mickeymouse7726]

I think you should marathon all 4 of the fantastic four movies

[@MitchCyan]

I remember really liking this game, I still remember Human Torches theme.

[@segue2ant395]

Ioan Gruffudd - pronounced Yo-Anne Griff-ith - a Welsh actor. He's always been fairly well-known in the UK - Richards is probably still his most well-known role internationally, but it wasn't a breakout role, or the end of his career, and not really the first thing most Brits would think of when you mentioned him. He's usually seen in period costume dramas and romantic comedies etc. He's also just a nice chap.

[@JamesJohnson-tr1gu]

His fate was sealed when he did his rubber dance in the club at the end of the movie lol

[@anispidey]

Oh man this takes me back. I actually have a lot of good memories with this game. For being another movie licensed game it actually has a lot of variety of villians from the comics and some cool set pieces imo. Also the combos you unlock for each character were pretty cool and crazy, Ben's being my favorite. I wouldn't mind a full playthrough just to for u to say you've played a F4 game to completion.

[@lucinaofstardust7828]

I played this and the sequel as a kid, i had some fun with it

[@mickeymouse7726]

I really enjoy both these fantastic four movies honestly

[@CJVERG16]

I played this with my bro. It was not as good as the X-Men Legends or Ultimate Alliance, but it was the perfect style for the Fantastic 4 i think

I like the MCU's pattern of redeeming Human Torch actors. First with Chris Evans and then Michael B Jordan

[@johnwerner69]

Me and my brother had so much fun with this game!

[@catp6946]

I played both this (on GCN) and the GBA one (which is extremely different). I stopped playing this one after some time travel to a jungle because 10 year old me was mad at how random it was

[@NadeemShekh-uy9zn]

I hope the new MCU Fantastic Four movie is great man

[@Haysey_Draws]

Fun Fact, despite having 4 films (there was the one in the 90's that was made and never released) Doom is the villian in ALL of them!

[@phoenixlich]

My cousin and i had so much fun playing the old ps1 F4 game with the racing game during loading screens!

[@rudygarcia37]

I think Fant4stic had their mutations occur based on what they were doing at the time. Sue got her forcefield powers from the containment field erupting through her. Reed was stretched through a wormhole. Johnny's pod had fire blast and burn him. Ben had a bunch of alien rocks tumble into his pod.

[@jackkain7141]

When discussing the movies, you forget that Roger Corman made one in the mid 90s purely to retain the film rights, and it was never supposed to see release, but eventually escaped into the underground film market. It's as super cheesy as you'd expect. Still better than fant4stick.

[@Jacob-tw1sk]

I still own this and have been waiting for matt to play it for a long time. Happy days

[@TheB3e3]

"This game's great, I think." is what I subscribe to this channel for.

[@ericpasterson469]

I adored this game as a kid, anything co op me and brother played way too much because we didn't have to share the console, I also liked this movie way too much as a big F4 fan growing up.

[@johnmiller7637]

I remember playing the heck out of this when I was a kid

[@Silviola824]

More please :) The hud reminds me of x-men legends, another game that might be worthwhile

[@PsychoCrusher46]

Probably the same developers cause both were published by Activision. Wonder if these games were what gave them the idea to make the Ultimate Alliance games.

[@NadeemShekh-uy9zn]

I love the X-Men legends games

[@Godzillaborg21]

Four More Fantastic 4

[@ChrisLincoln]

Was this the Fantastic 4 game that was only 2 player?

[@Beforezzz]

I enjoyed this game when it came out. Completed it in a day but still found replay value. The co-op was good fun too. There was something really satisfying about controlling and seeing an extensive side of movie-verse Marvel. For the time, I'd say the game was surprisingly well made.

[@J0SH826]

The most recent F4 movie has an actor who paid to be in the film and nows nothing about movies and is currently in a class action lawsuit for killing 19 people and injuring many more! #ElectricSun19

[@bobafett4265]

This is a fun watch seeing Matt have a blind playthrough of Fantastic Four the Movie the Game, I'm definitely gonna have to keep an eye out for that one.

[@deltaprime3509]

I remember these ones

[@NadeemShekh-uy9zn]

I want a new Fantastic Four game man hopefully made by a great developer like insomniac man

[@joemorgan2390]

I played this game so much as a kid. Had to get my dad to do the button mashing in the later levels for me.

[@JamesJohnson-tr1gu]

Also, I didn't know gaining cosmic powers also gave you batman level hand to hand combat abilities

[@descendantofsomeone]

I remember watching the behind the scenes that was recorded by Jessica Alba... It was certainly informing. Thanks for this video!!

[@Tradefleet96]

I'd be down for more lol. Maybe the sequel too!

[@raylink283]

I loved this game growing up. I remember being impressed that if there was a fire in a level. Everyone took damage but Johnny, and there is like super moved that are like 5 button combos.

[@Endocrom]

Funny how Cosmic radiation adheres to human concepts, the tough guy turns into a rock and the shy girl invisible.

[@MrGlasses94]

Right here I was that kid who wanted this game after watching the movie on a "legit DVD copy" in a parking lot And since It was coop too my brother played too and ill say this it was a fun time for my young age

I remember I almost bought this game at a garage sale but got Coliseum Road to Freedom instead I think I made the right choice.

[@nebiyumeseret]

Used to play this with my brother, it was a good time but remember we kept struggling with the latter half. Think we beat it but took a long time.

[@ShaunMart92]

Exact same. It also had hard QTE. I remember spinning the sticks with your palms to make it go fast enough to beat any joysticks QTEs.

[@nebiyumeseret]

Yeahhhh omg the QTE was such a pain. Unlocked some rough memories cuz we were so frustrated loll

[@urossesum4110]

I remember when I had this as a kid on my PS2. I had fun playing it for a few days, and then my parents returned it because they thought it looked like crap. I didn't really care that they did, however I did always think about this game since it never was really that bad. Then they got me Batman begins as a compromise to say sorry which was sorta an upgrade. Did try watching Batman Begins walkthroughs online however now when looking at it, it is a pretty goofy early 2000's game as well as others were. But way way more goofier. A whole bunch of those games during that time period were just odd with bad controls. Until games like X-Men Legends I-II, and X-Men Origins Wolverine came into the fray. Along with the next generation of consoles.

[@michaelmacorso4479]

Please do a whole let's play on my childhood game.

[@NadeemShekh-uy9zn]

Yep I was among a lot of kids who got this game cause they liked the movie. I still have my copy and surprisingly, I think this game hold up better than the movie lmao.

G'day Matt!

From what I heard, Reed Richards is going to be played by an African-American in the MCU because Kang was played by one. If it's done well, then no one will notice the difference.

[@jcace13]

While those movies are certainly bad, I still get the same kick out of them that I do the Batman and Robin movies.

this game was actually decent

[@retrogamer4185]

I got the game from fye I played it and I liked it but now I can see it problems 😄

[@DrayLoco]

Fant4stic isn’t as bad as people say imo. But I don’t think any of the F4 movies are as bad as people say. 2015 is probably the worst, but only because the time skip halfway through ruining all momentum and speeding to the end. The movie should’ve cut the time skip and been much smaller scale and focused on the characters and their relationships

[@hasthehighground8560]

The problem is that all of them don’t quite get what makes the fantastic four great. Everyone says “the Incredibles is the best fantastic four movie” and while I understand why they say that it isn’t quite true. While they are a family, the FF are adventurers, they’re “imaginauts” as Mark Waid put it. They journey into regions beyond with optimism and hope for a better future, every discovery is as weird and zany as the next. The family component is important, but it’s not the main thing. I think both the Tim Story films and FF focused too hard on one element while neglecting the other. The original 2 films focus a lot on the interpersonal dynamics but they explore the vast reaches of… their Baxter Building set, or a random as Forest where Silver Surfer is. Fant4stic has them go to the negative zone but it’s a drab grey wasteland, a far cry from Kirby’s psychedelic photo-collage. The movie also has an abysmal drab and eerie atmosphere that has no place in a movie about these characters.

Funny story about this specific game, this is the game that consistedly WONT WORK no matter what i tried or how many times i ended up refund it for another copy on PC. The Hobbit was also a game that didnt wanted to work properly on my PC back then but later on i found out how to make it work.....and i ended up hating it since it was freaking boring as fuck, but this one? never worked on my PC, it refused to work and i think it either my PC gained sentience back then and said "lol get fucked dude, i dont wanna this shitty game on my inards" or the game was "lol keep trying dude" Had to play it on PS2 because i was starting to lose my marbles with this game man, i just wanna to play with the human torch is that too much to ask?
