Instead you run around talking to dudes, finding things, and driving places. Taking that into consideration, I propose that during the day there is no combat.
#COOL GHOST RIDER GAMES MOVIE#
Look, just, hear me out, alright? So in the movie Nicolas Cage cannot control when he transforms from a normal dude into the Ghost Rider, but it only happens at night and he seems to be able to know it’s going to happen a few hours beforehand. Here it is: Day and Night cycles, with time limits on each. If you hate fun then you’ll almost certainly also hate this next suggestion, which really distinguishes in my mind a potential Ghost Rider game from any other kind of God of War clone. Why not have every vehicle you get into reconfigure itself, Transformer’s style, into a crazy, unique vehicle-o-death? Why not have dozens of vehicles? “Because I hate fun,” is the only acceptable answer. But there’s no reason to keep things so tame in a video game. Same with the crane (THAT’S RIGHT.DUDE KILLS DUDES WITH A GIANT CRANE!). The bike kind of just bursts into flames and…well that’s it. In the movie, whatever the Ghost Rider’s riding doesn’t drastically change. The other neat thing about the Ghost Rider is that when he gets into a vehicle, it transforms into some flaming, stylized version of what it once was. Sounds boring? Well hold on, there’s more. The Ghost Rider game I propose is a third person action game where you rack up combos by slaying dudes with your giant metal chains.
#COOL GHOST RIDER GAMES SERIES#
Not everything that borrows from that series needs to be a clone though, shamelessly plugging in its character design to that series’ mechanics. So I guess this game would be in that vein. The Ghost Rider fights by swinging around long metal chains, which immediately reminds me of Kratos from God of War. Rather, I’m going to tell you that there should be a new Ghost Rider game and here’s what it should look like: I walked away thinking, “That wasn’t so bad, but man would it make a cool video game.” Now apparently there were some Ghost Rider video games on the PS2 and Gameboy Advance, but since I thought of this before I knew that, I’m going to pretend they don’t exist. But today I watched Ghost Rider 2: Spirit of Vengeance. (Note: I’m not trying to rally anyone behind some ghost rider video game cause, I just had some ideas and felt bored so I thought I’d take to my keyboard and see what happened.)
