10 Potential Superhero Video Games (And Who Should Make Them)
3. Blade: Platinum Games
Though Platinum's latest attempt at comic book success was pretty unremarkable in TMNT: Mutants in Manhattan, there's no doubt that the team are technically gifted. They've been handed a bunch of setbacks over the past few years, and while it appears that the studio are working on a new IP, it would be really great to see them return to a licensed project sometime in the future.
Blade - the character that pretty much kicked off the world's modern day love affair with comic book movies - is the perfect character for Platinum. A brash, talented vampire hunter, Eric Brooks' heavily stylised sense of dress and combat would be ideally suited for Platinum's talents, especially when you consider their success in Bayonetta and Metal Gear Rising, both of which featured wickedly cool characters brandishing swords and guns killing things and looking insanely good while doing it.
The idea with Blade is that you want to make him feel powerful. He is, after all, the Daywalker - a vampire's nightmare come to life. Empower people the same way Rocksteady did with Arkham, and Blade could be the surefire mature success Marvelites have been waiting for, as well as the perfect remedy for Platinum's (hopefully temporary) ills.
