10 Potential Superhero Video Games (And Who Should Make Them)
4. Iron Man: Eidos Montreal
Another mechanic simply begging to be transplanted to a superhero title has to be Deus-Ex's augmentation system, which would, of course, work perfectly in an Iron Man adaptation.
Poor shellhead hasn't really been given the best solo gaming treatment since 2008. A victim of Sega's neglectful and downright appalling movie tie-in titles, the MCU's biggest ambassador is still yet to get a decent game, instead only having minor roles in other titles, like Marvel Ultimate Alliance.
I know there was the whole kerfuffle surrounding Deus-Ex's microtransactions, but I still think Eidos are the perfect team to drag Iron Man by the scruff into this new console generation. Granted they don't have much flight time, but a project of this capacity could always be split between teams. If Bandai Namco were willing to get involved (the team behind the always enjoyable Ace Combat series) with the aerial aspects of the title, you could have the perfect Iron Man experience, split between the ground and sky.
It's a lot to ask, but the only way Tony will ever be done right is if developers reevaluate their approach to how he controls. I mean, he is basically a tiny death jet if you think about it. Roll with that and see what happens.
