Description
Here is my pitch for a hulk game. The game has a lot of similarities to Hulk ultimate destruction. It is an open world beat-em up where the player controls The Hulk( as well as various other unlockable characters later on) through a series of open world environments with various types of missions( some optional, some story-related) where they will encounter different types enemies( each type relevant to the environment they are found in) as well as specific characters from the marvel universe who have their own accompanying missions. The player is also allowed to play the game with an optional NPC, in this case SHE HULK( as well as other characters who are unlocked later on), who will interact with and follow the player across the environments whilst aiding in melee combat against enemies the player encounters. After completing the game with SHE HULK enabled, the player will be able is able to play as SHE HULK with the Hulk now being the optional NPC.

As stated before, the overall gameplay is similar to Hulk Ultimate Destruction/ HUD but with various changes. The gameplay emphasises movement, freedom and momentum.
The character can charge jumps by holding down the jump button to cover greater distance. The hud display comes with a bar that fills up the more the jump button is held down. The bar comes with measurements to help the player gauge how much will be covered when the button is released.

The player is able to use the light and heavy attack button to wreak havoc on any enemies they encounter as well as the environment around them. In doing so, the player will gain SMASH POINTS which can used in the in-game shop to purchase upgrades, attacks, various skins for the playable characters and refill the players health( the health does regenerate overtime but purchasing it will do so instantly). Much like in HUD, the players healthbar can be elongated and the added health can be used to unleash more devastating attacks at the expense of said health.
There is also a feature where the more damage is dealt to the player's health, the more damage the players attacks. Essentially, the lower the health gets, the more damage the attacks can. Damage makes him angry. And the angrier he gets the stronger he gets.

The art is much more simplified than that of HUD( whose overall look was influenced by comic artist Bryan Hitch). The overall aesthetic of WAR OF THE HULKS/ WOTH is more closely modelled after the work of Ed Mcguiness and Jack Kirby( less realistic, more stylised and shapely). Their is also an emphasis of Satisfaction over realism. Capturing the feeling of power that comes with being the hulk over working out the logistics of his interactions with the world.

The gameplay is split between Five environments and a final environment that is unlocked once the player has completed certain criteria from each previous environment. The number and specific type of enemies in each environment will gradually escalate through various tiers as the player continues to fight against them.

As stated before, Each environment has a designated marvel character with their own set of side missions. The player has the option to either accept the characters missions or can choose to fight against the characters, in which case a mini boss fight against them will occur. If the player completes completes all of the characters missions( or defeats them), the final environment becomes available. If the player gains a high enough SMASH POINTS while completing said missions, they will unlock the character as an NPC who will aid the character in the rest of the game( similar to SHE HULK except they do not become playable). Later in the game, all the characters are transformed into hulked out versions of themselves by the games true antagonist. If the player is able to gain enough SMASH POINTS, the hulked out version of the character will become unlocked as a playable option.

Opening: Sometime ago the being known as THE ABOMINATION was assassinated by a figure resembling the Hulk who then went on a rampage across the desert before disappearing. The hulk lookalike had also been spotted with a man with a large head. General Thunderbolt Ross is the first to lead the hunt for Dr Bruce Banner, stating the assassination of the abomination must have been in revenge for the death of his daughter, Betty. Banner is eventually forced to transform into the hulk and escapes to the desert.
This version of the hulk is shown to be capable of speech and throughout the game the hulk will occasionally speak and react to whatever is happening in the game(" Hulk hate rockets. SMASH ROCKETS"" Funny bug man make Hulk laugh" ETC). He is generally portrayed as grumpy, simplistic, emotionally driven, vaguely animal like, uninhibited and generally angry but still shows the capacity for compassion and sympathy on occasion.

Environment 1/ THE DESERT: The Hulk lands in the desert. There are various army bases placed in the environment. The enemy type of this environment is the US army which consists of ; Soldiers, tanks, Helicopters, Jet fighters, Missile defence systems and hulkbusters.
The Thing( from Fantastic Four) can be found in this environment who informs the hulk that the army are on high alert looking for him after the mysterious disappearance of General Ross. The Things mission consist of investigating the area where the Abomination was killed.
The boss of this environment are series of giant robotic Harpies that resemble Betty Ross. After defeating the Harpies, the Hulk makes his way to the forest.

Environment 2/ THE FOREST: After making his way to the forest, The Hulk encounters WOLVERINE. Despite hostility between the two, WOLVERINE informs the Hulk that someone has released the WENDIGO and as such, people cursed by the WENDIGO are the main enemy in this environment. The cursed are werewolf like enemies that leap about and lunge at the player. Many still retain the clothing, items and weapons they had when were human, which includes; Rifles, Bear traps, chainsaws, Machetes and crossbows. The boss of this environment is WENDIGO. This environment is filled with large trees with thick branches which allows for optional platforming and can be knocked down with enough attacks. It is revealed that the WENDIGO was released by DOOM BOT. The same DOOM BOT is then traced back to NEW YORK.

Environment 3/ NEW YORK: The Hulk follows the DOOM BOT back to the city. Here the Hulk meets up with" Funny Bug Man"/ Spider-man and It's discovered that various gangs and criminals have been buying technology and Weaponry from LATVERIA. The enemies of this stage are various gangs wielding hi-tech weaponry and lead by Spider-man villains( Shocker, Electro, Rhino, Scorpion, etc). The spider-man villain DOPPELGANGER acts as a secret mini boss in the sewer part of the environment. The main boss is The Red Hulk who confronts the Hulk in an alleyway. The attacks, appearance and animations of the Red Hulks are similar to the Hulk but is capable of doing more damage( and the more health The Red Hulk loses, the more he heats up meaning melee attacks can result in the player losing health as well meaning they may have to resort to attack with weaponry/ environmental items). Eventually, The Red Hulk is found by a DOOM BOT and a voice recording states that he has too leave for the SAVAGE LANDS and scolds him for not having defeated the Hulk yet. The Red Hulk begrudgingly leaves and states that the fight isn't over. This environment is a very simplified city level with cars, monorail, streets and various buildings that can be smashed through. Basically, the buildings would be a very large frame with the walls, floors and ceilings being breakable with a few attacks but the frame itself being unbreakable. The rooms inside said buildings would largely be a randomly generated collection of assets so that no two are exactly the same to give it a more lively feel. The Hulk eventually sets off for the SAVAGE LAND.

Environment 4/ THE SAVAGE LANDS: The Hulk makes his way to THE SAVAGE LANDS, a vast Savannah inhabited by Dinosaurs of all kinds and the Wakandan scientists who wish to study them. It turns out some of them had sought the aid of the mutant STORM to help ward off members of the ENCLAVE who have been capturing some of the Dinos. The enemies of this environment are some of the dinosaurs( some like raptors and T-rex being hostile, some like the Triceratops and the Pterodactyl being neutral and ones like the diplodocus being peaceful) as well as genetic mutants created by the ENCLAVE. The boss of this Environment is the ENCLAVE mutant BI-BEAST, riding a large red T-rex( that appears to be under mind control) that he can be knocked off of. You fight the Bi-Beast inside a large Colosseum like structure After the Bi-Beast is defeated, the Hulk goes in search of The Red Hulk but he is then ambushed and knocked out by The Red Hulk and several Hulked out soldiers. This environment is a mix of Tropical tundra, vast chasms and futuristic research posts with Dinosaurs and ENCLAVE mutants running around.

Environment 5/ LATVERIA: Bruce Banner wakes up with his body restrained inside a large metal box. The box is in the cargo bay of an aeroplane and Sitting opposite the is The Red Hulk. A voice from off camera states that they'll be landing soon. A few moments pass before the lights of the aeroplane start flickering, the electrical equipment starts malfunctioning and the sound of lightning can be heard from outside. Red Hulk calls for everyone to leave the plane. On the way out, one of the Hulked out soldiers grab what appears to be vials of blood
and placing them in a bag before jumping out the cargo door. The plane spins out of control as Red Hulk and the soldiers jump out. Banner is left in the plane as it goes down. Until THOR flies through, smashes of a part of the box that was administering drugs to keep Banner docile before an explosion separates the two of them. The large box flies out and then falls towards the ground before landing in the mud below. Hulk punches the box open and climbs out and sees that he has arrived in LATVERIA. He is eventually reunited with THOR who informs him The ice giants have invaded LATVERIA after a portal opened in their world and a DOOM BOT fired upon some of them. The Hulk and Thor Make their way through to DR DOOM's castle. This environment consists of small cottages on cobblestone streets, various large grey stone castles and giant structures resembling power terminals. Inside DOOM's castle is all manner of machinery and even the test tubes where the Hulked out soldiers are created. The enemies of this environment are, DOOM BOTs, Hulked out soldiers, DOOM troopers and Ice giants. The boss of this environment is a tag team between Red Hulk( who fights hand to hand) and DR DOOM( who from a distance fires projectiles, uses magic spells and occasionally summons DOOM BOTs to aid Red Hulk). After defeating them both, an ice giant manages to find them and demands to know why DR DOOM attacked their realm but DOOM denies attacking them. Just then, a portal opens up and THE LEADER walks through. He thanks DR DOOM for the use of his technology and resources and then blasts him and the ice giant into a portal to another dimension. He then begins to teleport all of the machinery to an unknown location. At which point it is revealed that THE LEADER and The Red Hulk were working together all along but THE LEADER acquires the vials of blood and declares that he no longer needs The Red Hulk and fires upon him before leaving behind a bomb then leaving through a portal.
The bomb explodes and the castle is levelled.

Hulk and Red Hulk are shown to have survived the blast. Red Hulk was wounded by it though and in his exhaustion, reverts back to his Human form to reveal his true identity as General Thaddeus Ross. The Hulk is angered by this and is about to leave when Ross reveals that Betty may be alive. He reveals how his becoming The Red Hulk was part of his deal with THE LEADER to help draw out the Hulk so hid DNA could be sampled in exchange for reviving Betty as well as to test his attempts at recreating and mass producing The Hulk. Ross says that he will tell The Hulk/ Banner where to find THE LEADER and work together to help him rescue Betty. The Hulk agrees

Final Environment/ THE HELICARRIERS: Ross leads Hulk to the current location of six Helicarriers, with the largest being where Betty and THE LEADER are located. The Helicarriers hover in a vague diagonal formation over the ocean with the largest being located at the top, meaning the player must make their way up by leaping from one to the other . On each of the smaller Helicarriers is are the enemies from the 5 environments the player went through in order( desert, Jungle, new york, savage land, Latveria) and a now hulked out version of the character from each environment in a test tube, who then burst out and start a boss fight if the player gets too close. All this time, The Red Hulk i fighting alongside the player( similar to how SHE HULK did). After making their way to final Helicarrier, the final boss of the game is revealed to be a tag team between a mind controlled Betty Ross( who has now become the RED SHE HULK) and THE LEADER( who has used his technology to give himself hulk-like strength and telekinetic powers). If the player is at any point knocked off the helicarriers, they will wind up in the ocean and have to leap from one to the other again to get back to the top. Fortunately, any damage dealt to the bosses will remain and if the player takes too long getting back to the top, RED SHE HULK and THE LEADER will begin to make their way down to meet them. After the two bosses are defeated, RED SHE HULK regains control of herself, THE LEADER loses his strength and falls into the ocean and the Helicarriers crash. Hulk, Red Hulk, RED SHE HULK and the various characters wash up on a nearby beach, alive and well. Hulk and RED SHE HULK revert back to human form and then embrace. The Red Hulk leaves.
