Greetings from the gregarious game guys!
2008-03-07 08:34:21


Welcome to the first of our weekly Marvel interactive blogs—in other words, insight into the world of Super Hero video games!

First, I'd like to introduce the main contributors to this section, starting with myself. I'm Justin Lambros, Vice President, Interactive here at Marvel. I oversee any and all interactive game content done with our characters, and I also serve as executive producer on all our major console & PC game releases. I've been at Marvel for about a year now, and before that I spent several years as a video game producer at Sega and LucasArts. But I got my start in the games industry as an editor for "GamePro Magazine."

Working with me is Chris Baker, the Interactive Content Coordinator at Marvel, and essentially my right-hand man on every game project. Chris previously worked at LucasArts as well and was an editor at "Official U.S. PlayStation Magazine"—where he reviewed a ton of super hero games and wrote huge cover stories for "Spider-Man," "X-Men: Mutant Academy" and "Hulk."

2008 is a big year for Marvel and a huge year for our games. "Iron Man" and the "Incredible Hulk" will be bursting into theaters and onto game consoles, PC and handhelds this year in a big way, so you'll be hearing lots more from us on those games in the coming weeks.

But we also want this video game blog to be as interactive as possible (excuse the pun)—so we want to hear from you. Let us know your video game questions, and please give us feedback on what we blog about.

In fact, here's a question for you Marvel gamers out there: We know you've played Spider-Man, Wolverine and Hulk in several previous games, but what Marvel Super Heroes do you want to play as who haven't had a chance to shine in the spotlight of their own game? Let us know—we have connections here, and it just might happen someday.

Until next week, keep gaming!

-- Justin

I demand a MODOK game.

I'd love a really gritty Punisher game. With the new movie coming out, I assume something like this is in the works.

Daredevil
a Daredevil game would be interesting.. would it be shipped with a blindfold? and maybe probes to stick different places in your body to hook up via the usb port.. seriously I'd like to play as the bad guys: Venom would be awesome! oh, and Carnage and Toxin.. Green Goblin, Magneto of course, Ultron, Vulcan..uh, and Wrecker, Dr Octopus! Electro.. all of them!

Posted by unclr on 2008-03-06 18:56:25
actually I'd like a Rogue game too

Posted by unclr on 2008-03-06 19:18:03
what's the word?
So the Sony/Marvel MMO is dead. Okay. Now, take it in house and make me a Marvel MMO that rawks!

Posted by bigdaddyhub2 on 2008-03-06 21:28:33
a solo game for cap would be cool, make it a FPST(first person shield thrower)
the cancelling of the Marvel MMO is unacceptable, please find a way to make this happen!
and i was also unfortunate enough to see that marvel fight demo a few months ago and then learned recently it was also cancelled, OH the humanity!!

Posted by peterparker4907 on 2008-03-06 21:35:59
There exists an untold epic of a journey across the globe. A war of wanton destruction against national monuments, national identities and, of course, national flags.

The world cries for a Flagsmasher game.

Marvel Universe Online
Question on the recently canceled Marvel Universe Online game. What kind things were developed for the game before it was canceled? eg. game play, characters,

Iron Fist

Posted by Tasky on 2008-03-07 01:04:15
Echo. The game would have to be totally silent, of course, and involve abstract exploration through her memories. And of course it would have to be a character-driven story (as opposed to an action game), or else it wouldn't fit the character. Ha! This game will never in a million years be made.

jk, im crossing my fingers for the movie related titles to be as awesome as the movies should be

Posted by peterparker4907 on 2008-03-07 05:20:23
Iron Fist, the Sentry, Namor, Black Bolt would all rock in the Marvel Ultimate Alliance sequel (hint, hint, wink, wink, nudge, nudge)

Posted by joemomma on 2008-03-07 07:12:26
A Marvel Ultimate alliance sequel would be great, just don't forget black cat this time!

Summers Family Gameage Lad!!
A Cable game wud b awesome, goin through all different time periods, makin full of use of the time travel n his powers and that!! A proper X Men game were it aint like legends or ultimate alliance, more like a 3rd person game and more rpg based like, more grown up aswell, don't dumb em down, and include a huge roster of characters like, don't just mainstream it like. A Daredevil game wud b totally awesome aswell, proper gritty n made like propa crime noir esque!!

Posted by havoc198 on 2008-03-07 09:44:56
Daredevil Game
Daredevil would make for a fantastic game. It could be free roaming like Spider-Man 3, and it could utilize his Radar sense which would make for a great game gimic. For example you activate his radar sense and it highlights a quick way to move through the city (because you can't just swing on webs). When in combat it could target nerve clusters for you, slow down time, and help you bust out some insane combos.

But most importantly the excellent, intelligent, mature stories that Daredevil has in his history you could use to make your game story. Heck, a game based on Frank Miller's run or even the Bendis/Maleev run. The game could be based on the 6 months after Matt declared himself the Kingpin, when he disapeared and there was only Daredevil getting rid of crime 24/7.

I think it'd be great.

Posted by Aeus on 2008-03-07 11:02:13
Ultimate alliance sequel
Iron Fist, Namor, Black Bolt, and the Sentry should be in the Ultimate Alliance sequel.

Posted by joemomma on 2008-03-07 11:10:09
i'd say a great way to start this year is to somehow reinstate the canned video games that would have been completely KICK ASS...what i mean is Marvel Universe Online, and the Marvel Fighting Game by EA Chicago...

Posted by Mean Green HULK on 2008-03-07 11:36:41
JRPG
I would like to see more turn based rpgs like the old old old x-men rpgs that I had on floppy.

Posted by complexthings on 2008-03-07 11:37:58
Ideas for Games
First and foremost, if we have another Spiderman game, can we have it on the original comics, rather than the movies or the Ultimate Universe? There's nearly 5 decades of material you can access there.

In regards to new characters having games, I would quite like the female heroes of Marvel to appear in their own games, like Ms. Marvel, Storm, Jean Grey or Elektra. Namor would also make sense to have his own game. One thing I'd also love to see is a game based on a famous Marvel Comic Event. Think of a strategy game for Secret Wars or Civil War where you play as Cap, Tony or Doom and order your heroes across the battlefield, or a shoot-em-up for Annihilation Conquest with Star-Lord and Rocket Racoon. Oh, and MUA 2, defintely. With Thanos as the villain - sweet! :P

Posted by Derek Metaltron on 2008-03-07 11:42:06
Capcom X-Men Arcade Game
Make a game exactly like this one for consoles and I'll be set. Hell, re-release this game, in the same fashion it came out in the first place, and I'll still be happy.

Posted by Lazarus on 2008-03-07 11:59:37
MUA2, WHEN?
Activision recently confirmed a sequel for MUA slotted for release this year. Can you give us a specific release date? Also--- will there be any further installments in the X-MEN LEGENDS franchise, or will they mainly exist as a sub-set of MUA characters?

X-MEN LEGENDS was the reason I bought an X-box.
MARVEL ULTIMATE ALLIANCE was the reason I caved and bought an X-Box 360.

What I'm saying here is that I love these games so much and want sequel-age so badly, I'm willing to buy a new console to play them on.

XML3--- will it happen? And when it does, can we finally get Angel and Kitty Pryde as playable characters? (I've actually spent way too much time figuring out a workable powerset for each of them within the structure of MUA/XML gameplay.)

MUA2: Seriously--- when?? I'm dying for a sequel here. And please, please, please try and keep most of not all of the playables and unlockables from the first game, and ADD to the roster. What is the hard limit on the depth of the roster? With dlc characters, we ended up with 33 in the first game. Are there hardware restrictions that would keep us under 40? 50? Because we really need to add Giant-Man, Namor, Wasp, Vision, Beast, Nova, Black Bolt... and about sixty majillion more in there eventually....

Thor, Silver Surfer, Iron Fist, or an Avengers game would be awesome. ESPECIALLY a Thor or Silver Surfer game

Posted by ktkid24 on 2008-03-07 13:20:43
hulk
the hulk should be in a third sequal of mua and be in a super cool movie clip

Posted by juggy--2468 on 2008-03-07 14:04:55
Games to Come
I agree on the Daredevil idea, just don't put a skin on Spider-Man. I also would like to see a Captain America game, but first person is absolutely ludicrous. It would be better made into a 3rd person fighting game similiar to God of War/Ghost Rider, with intricate physical and shield combos that create a martial arts experience worthy of Cap. Oh, and unlike Ghost Rider, please write in a good story line and interesting unlockables and things to gain along the way. Only my 10 year old son was able to finish Ghost Rider, I played 1/3 or 1/2 of the way and realized when I stopped that there was nothing new to look forward to to come back for.

I think that something interesting could be done with Dr. Strange. Sort of a Knights of the Old Republic magic-user RPG. It could include Defenders/Marvel Knights side characters in the party, as well as an intricate magic system that Dr. Strange could "learn" over the process of the game. Again, please, a good story!

Since online co-op and versus games are obviously the best bet these days, if you can't do a strict MMO, something along the lines of a 3rd person MUA experience would be extra saleable. In other words, simulate an MMO experience in the vein of Elder Scrolls with lots of online opportunities. Of course with online can come a certain twitchy-ness to the gameplay...but it'd be possible to work it in.

Anyway, you guys are doing a pretty great job of putting out some fine Marvel-related games. My son and I tend to pick up every Marvel-themed game that looks to be worth playing, and at least half (or more) do not disappoint. And though Spider-Man 2, 3, and Ultimate Spider-Man were genius, I realized halfway through 3 that was I getting a bit sick of playing what felt like the same game over and over. Genius and Uniqueness disappear with time.

More ideas! More games! Keep it up!

Posted by PseudoSherlock on 2008-03-07 14:11:44
Marvel Annihilation
Here's my idea...

a RTS/TBS centered around the efforts of the Annihilations Wave. You control a certain Character to start (Ronan, Super Skrull, Silver Surfer, Nova, Captain Marvel etc) and then, in a map based campaign, set about to stop the Annihilation.

I'm thinking something like Romance of the Three Kingdoms/Star Trek:Birth of the Federation/Dawn of War: Dark Crusade that would have a turn based political and tactical aspect, and a real time battle tactical aspect.

For "Boss" battles, you would want something more akin to a fighter, but that wouldn't eb too hard to put in.

Captain America
There have been 3 Spiderman movies, 2 FF, 1 DD, 1 Electra, Soon to be 2 Hulk, 2 Punisher, 1 Iron Man, & allegedly, a Thor movie in the works. (in the new age of Marvel movies) Not complaining mind u but what will it take to get some kind of content dedicated 2 one of the all-time classics, Captain America? You even killed Rogers off. Talk about a slap in the face. The least you could do is give the legend his own game. And no Ultimates version. The classic Avengers-era, round shield version.

Posted by tiller37 on 2008-03-07 14:28:30
i think id like to see a captain america game that starts out in WWII and then goes into the avengers, then disassembled, then civil war, and his death. just a game about his life

Posted by Colin818 on 2008-03-07 14:30:25
The Asguardians + Avengers
I would like to see Thor and the asguardians in an epic keind of game full of myths and fantasy characters.
Or the old Avengers with Thor, Iron Man, Cap, Hawkeye, Vision and so on.

Posted by maikdaboss1989 on 2008-03-07 14:32:06
Cable, She HUlk
I don't know one game that has Cable or She-Hulk in it. I think they should be in a game, plus Nick Fury and Thor.

Posted by Coolev on 2008-03-07 14:37:50
civil war
I think a civil war game or a skrull invasion game would be cool especially if you could choose sides on the civil war game and maybe change the outcome depending on what side you choose or just dr.strange game he has some pretty cool enemies

Posted by natehertzka on 2008-03-07 14:48:25
Deadpool!!!
Cable was in Marvel vs Capcom 2.

A deadpool game would be amazing.a telaporting engine on top of all the equipment use and when it comes down to the swordplay and acrobatics this leaves lot of possible ways to have fun

Posted by Daylok on 2008-03-07 15:03:08
something like this
I agree with previous post that a strategy game around Secert Wars, Civil War, or Annilation would make great games. Same goes for the Dr. Strange idea, and I love Captain America, Steve that is Bucky is doing fine in this era, but you can't replace Steve.

That said if you want MUA additional line up how bout Iron Fist, Ronin/Echo, Cable/Bishop, Namor, Vision, Scarlett Witch/Domino, Nova, Wasp, and Herc. With additional characters as skins like US Agent, Bucky's Cap, Punisher(Nick Fury),Shang-chi(Iron Fist/DD/Ronin), Red Hulk. Villians like Taskmaster, Thanos, some of Galactus' Heralds, Lizard/Freak, Annihilus, Carnage, and Kraven. With Kraven's fight being in virtual a pitch black swamp having to light torches or have someone like the Human Torch in the party to just find him let alone combat. Or the Wrecking Crew all at the same time! Plus throw in some Hydra, the Hand, and Gods. Asgardian or Olympian, the heros always seem to have a misunderstanding with both and end up in a throw down even when on the same side. Maybe even Hulk's Warbound.

IF there is a XL3 then how bout Forge, Maverick, Longshot, and Jubliee. And villians like the Purifiers, Vulcan, and Imperial Guard.

Posted by musicshark on 2008-03-07 15:05:28
Avengers Game
I think it would be cool to play as the Avengers. Each main character plays a level designed for them. Although I'm not sure which version of Avengers would be best. I have no idea what the crisis would be. Maybe take on the Kree-Skrull war (which I think a lot of people would be interested in after Skrull Invasion). YOu could be Iron Man, Wasp, Hawkeye, Thor, etc.

Posted by Perplexor on 2008-03-07 15:08:22
Heroes for Hire and More
In the same spectrum as MUA, you could choose between any old school or newer Heroes for Hire character, Iron Fist, Shang Chi, Luke Cage, Misty, Coleen... even throw in Paladin and Humbug... there's a lot of potential for MUA styled games... with so many characters out there in the Marvel world you're pretty much limitless.

How about AoA, Civil War, House of M, or any alternate version game again set in MUA?

Punisher shooter screams to be done...

I'd love a new Capcom/Marvel fighter...

Three words, LEGO MARVEL COMICS.

a worthy spiderman video game
they just need to remake the first spiderman playstation one game on current gen platforms cuz the gameplay on it was killer, and they should make spiderman have automatic dodge, none of this bull they got now where some street thug can even get close to hitting you!

Posted by akabenrielly1985 on 2008-03-07 15:19:35
whats up with that?!

k, firstly: why did the EA game get cancelled?! it looked like a good idea with some nifty ass-kicking moments (putting to one side the fact that it ALMOST looked like that "marvel but-i-still-bought-it-and-played-it-to-death-anyway imperfects" game!..... really... what was with that?!)

i LOVED the marvel vs Capcom 2 game (spent MANY upon MANY hours drop kicking the living snot out of all my mates in my youth!) now THAT was a game!!! no fancy-pants "death moves" none of that "free roaming then lock on" button-combo bits, just good old 2D fighting with some spanking characters and a boat load of classic "hadoo-ken" style moves!!!!! the ONLY thing wrong with M vs C 2 was there just was not enought marvel characters in it!!! (but thats just greedy me wanting more!)

next on my "I WANT" list is marvel UA.... or xmen legends! it dont matter as i played them ALL till my tiny (yet manly!) hands twisted into arthritic lumps on the end of each arm!!! .... not joking!


Posted by stustu25 on 2008-03-07 15:25:17
great game ideas!!!!!
i think a thor video game would be a great idea since the movie will be coming out by next year. also a video game that will pit hero verses hero. just like some of the great comics ever. the game would be cool. finally answer the questions of all time who is better the hulk or the thing, thor or hercules, spiderman or daredevil. it would be an all out fighting game. or you should make a game were a marvel fans can create his or her own superhero. come on who has not pondered the question of if i was a superhero what powers would i have. that is the ideas i have, hope you like. oh buy the way make it for xbox 360. that is the only console i own. thanks

Marvel Zombie game!
A marvel zombie game would be cool.Eating people as a super hero or trying to stay alive.COOL

Next Video Game
I would like to just be able to play as Psylocke or Rachel Summers

Posted by sith_bladeforce on 2008-03-07 16:21:31
grand theft marvel
i think they should make a GTA style marvel game were you can choose through a vast array of marvel characters to play as(making for limtiless storylines ) or create ur own hero( or villain). U run around and do watever u want and as u interact with the world and other characters, ur story changes,and ur character in a sand box style RPG action game... i think tht would be awesome

Posted by skullhead123 on 2008-03-07 16:42:50
I would love to see a second Alliance game since all I play now is City of Heroes. Maybe have some characters in it like Firestar, Speedball, Nova, PowerPack, Darkhawk, Mimic, Dazzler, or some of the other great marvel characters.

Posted by Ronn80 on 2008-03-07 17:26:22
Game Idea
I think the ultimate game would be a mixture of both MUA and the free style gaming of the GTA series. Think of it, a game where you can go on a road trip on your harley as Wolverine, explore the depths as Namor, swing through the streets as Spider-man. It would be pretty much living day to day as your favorite hero/heroine. Of course it doesn't necessarily need the extreme blood and gore as the GTA series, but the life like gaming that allows you to do nearly anything! That would be awsome!

Posted by renegade555 on 2008-03-07 17:50:57
freeroaming new / mighty avengers Game
if you've learnt anything it should difenetly be a freeroaming game
think about its like what nitendo with pokemon just realese two versions one new one mighty there've got similier powers so just use the same templates
also who doesnt want to play as ares smashing stuff randomly??!

Posted by X-gambit006 on 2008-03-07 18:33:07
I want to see an Ironman game that has absolutely no connection with the movie, with it's own story. Movie based games are usually the worst. When I here of an upcoming movie I instantly think of how they will rush to make a terrible game. I'm sure they'll do it to Wolverine and he could have a great game. Marvel needs to explore free roaming, and more M-Rated titles, for the characters who need it.

Posted by 87youb on 2008-03-07 19:18:36
I'd love to see an X-Men game based on the Ultimate Alliance engine... with the current X-cast

Posted by garbdoubt19 on 2008-03-07 19:41:08
^^

X-Men Legends 3, which NEEDS to happen.

Besides that, I'd love to see MUA 2, a Punisher sequel, Iron Man, Daredevil, and a big free roaming Spider-Man game that DOESN'T involve the movies. Perhaps with a Sinister Six theme?


Oh, and Kick-Ass. Kick-Ass NEEDS its own game.

Posted by djsaiyan on 2008-03-07 20:22:52
X-Men Legends 3, New Avengers
Id love to see a New Avengers game as well as X-Men Legends 3 game made.

Cable/Deadpool!
cmon humor and massive devistation all in one. Or how about Messiah Complex, kill mutants while protecting a baby, it writes itself...if it wasnt already written...

Posted by imadeadpool on 2008-03-07 20:54:44
Nova
But in his old uni with a couple of old school villains like Diamondhead and Sphinx. Or how about a Marvel Team-Up or Marvel Two-In-One type game where Spidey or Thing team up with different heroes (or villains!) on different levels?

Posted by JBHammer on 2008-03-07 21:19:28
UA2
Ultimate Alliance 2 with a wider array of characters. Spanning from Avengers (new and mighty), x-men (all members), a wider selection of Marvel Knights. Some cosmic characters and some other great characters maybe. but maybe like a big Marvel event.

WEAPON X GAME
Futuring wolverine deadpool and other dudes in a game about how they are tryng to stop the weapon x program permanently becouse they found out that now they are tring to do it again but with mutants and heroes and take over the world or something like that.

Posted by petur40 on 2008-03-08 03:25:45
ones i would like
another marvel vs capcom/street fighter. so far imo they have been the best marvel fighting games. i would also like to see an ultimate alliance 2 but with charechters we have not played yet at all. we got the x-men in x-men legends and the ff in their game and even ghost rider in his. i am so tired of wolverine and spiderman. give me some charachters that have yet to make it into a game. start off small and then have your roster grow rather then having 20 charchters to start with. we get hulk but no she-hulk? i liked ms marvel and elektra. i guess i feel that there are so many charachters out there that marvel limits themselves to using the big names and never giving any time to some of the other charachters in the marvel u.

I would like a new fighting game and a fantastic four game with free roaming where you can play all the members of the ff, doctor doom moleman and even Namor. And that you have a fantasticar a little bit like spidey but then with the fantastic four.

Posted by spidey-fan 456 on 2008-03-08 07:42:13
secret war series
you could use all the secret war titles and make a game based on all the different books

Posted by NichoFox on 2008-03-08 09:52:36
UNLIMITED WEIGHT CLASS WRESTLING
the unlimited weight class should take the biggest and maddest from all parts and dimensions of the MU and give them attributes and abilities that could make a WWE smackdown versus raw feel. The Thing, HULK, the sentry, spiderman, woverine, luke cage, beast, apocalypse, thanos, iron man, wonderman, ms marvel, chod, warbound, the rhino, blood brothers, and various other super strong and durable or super agile , whatever would make for a good super human wrestling game

Posted by NichoFox on 2008-03-08 09:59:19
Captain America
i like how in the matrix you could fight and have gun play plus have various special and kill or finish moves. Cap could be similar, maybe to the wolverine game. Have a him and falcon team up mode and maybe some bucky and wovlerine flashback mode, that would be hot. Then add a new shield tricks as well.

Posted by NichoFox on 2008-03-08 10:06:12
civil war the fight
make all the combatants of the civil war have a fighting game like street fighter or tekken and include alternate ending call it Civil War what if the game

Just any game from the villains perspective. Like Venom, The Iron Monger. The Green Goblin any villain.

DEADPOOL
a deadpool game would be awesome but i know it would get old pretty fast just like every other video game based on a comic.....this genre of video games just doesnt work....

Kind Of Own Game (Ina Way)
As You're Playing Ultimate Alliance, Enter the level 99 cheat in for characters so you don't get too overwhelmed, and then only use 1 or 2 chaacters. It gives the feel of it's own game for your special character

Posted by Madhatt3r on 2008-03-08 15:29:11
Ultimate Legends
I'd love Ultimate Alliance 2 or X-Men Legends 3. I'm currently playing MUA again as the X-Men and having a great time at it. You know you'd think that it would get old but it sooooooo doesn't. So more of the same with more heroes, particularly more X-Men since they're my favorite.

Posted by Hawkeye_Pie on 2008-03-08 16:05:20
Here are a few
I would Love a Daredevil game
Other cool games would include Moon Knight, Cap, Iron Fist, New Avengers, An X-men Legends 3 would be awsome. Just stay away from Wolverine

I wanna see the teenage heroes get their own game. New X-men (Soon to be young X-men), Young Avengers, New Warriors, the Innitiative, hell even the new cap (Bucky, and yes I like this cap). I think I'm missing something, but my minds drawing a blank.

As far as that goes though, I want to see an X-23 game. It's not going to happen for twenty-odd years unless they make an X-force game, but I still like to muse.

And while I'm on the subject, I'd like to see a Warpath game. I've only recently started reading for the character (WWH and Messiah compleX, very recently) and would like to hear more on him (And yes, I have time for an eighty hour game and not the ten minutes it take to read the profiles on this website). Now I'm leaving the field of Next gen though, so I'll stop this post here.

Ice Man
I'd honest to god like to see an Ice Man game, just because he's so bad ass and he's so underutilized and his involvement in the X-men game sucked so badly. I mean, I know the rest of the X-men would be involved, but make it so you play as Iceman. Don't know why I put spaces between Iceman until this point...

MUA2
MARVEL ULTIMATE ALLIANCE 2!!!!!!! i need that game to be made

oo and also it would be nice to have a game where u can make ur own superhero and its like a star wars knights of the old republic/ mass effect style rpg that would be the best game ever made!

oooo and i forgot... x-men legends 3 but w/ havoc PLZ!

MAU
Okay, just a little creative feedback for Ultimate Alliance, they need to embrace a few more second tier characters. I mean, Deadpool and Moonknight were really good additions, showing the rest of the marvel universe, but I'd still like to see them utilize someone like Wolfsebane or Madrox, or any number of psychics, or Iron Fist, the list can go on, but my Marvel lore doesn't run that deep (Next gen fan).

Posted by Medalionsoldier on 2008-03-08 21:29:07
MAU Characters
Absolutely, Wolfsbane, Iron Fist, Warpath, Beast, Shadowcat, Ronin, and the list goes on.

What happened?
My post vanished. Just to sum it up:

MUA2--- when? Activision confirmed it's on the sked, when are we gonna see it? Please, please, PLEASE keep most if not all of the characters from the first and add MORE to that. Is there a hard limit on how many we can get? There were 33 in the first one (on 360, counting dlc characters). Can we get fifty?

X-MEN LEGENDS 3--- is this franchise still going? Bring it back!

I bought an X-Box just to play X-MEN LEGENDS.
I bought a 360 just to play MARVEL ULTIMATE ALLIANCE.

What's it gonna take to get MUA2?
or X-MEN LEGENDS 3?

(And please get Angel and Kitty Pryde in there somewhere as playables!)

Let's give the Merc with a Mouth his own game. The Mayham and jokes would make it a must play.

Bring back the Capcom X-Men Arcade Game, the best video game to feature a Marvel Comics character before Ultimate Alliance. The Best X-Men game ever. I want a port of that to PS3 and XBOX 360 and I don't even care if it's the same. Just bring that one back. Please.

Or a sequel maybe?

NONE
I don't trust Marvel with anything other than comics.

Spiderman has been my absolute favorite superhero of all time since I was 8. No one can touch him. Spidy may not be the most powerful superhero, but the artwork, story, and character development really made him better than Superman or Batman for me. He blows them both out of the water and opened me up to the world of Marvel. I totally fucks with Marvel.

Much to my frustration the Spiderman movies have been plagued with poor writing, poor directing, and a very unfitting cast--specifically Toby McGuire and Kirsten Dunst.

The the Spiderman video games are not as disappointing, but they also fail to live up to the Spidy standard. They're fun to play for about 10 minutes until you realize that you're just doing the same exact thing over and over again.

Today I feel like publishers make their profits off poor quality video games by slapping on some Marvel superhero like Spiderman, The Hulk, X-Men, Blade, Punisher, etc. The worst part is when the game sequel comes out promising to be what the gamer was looking for in the first game because now there is a "fully explorable environment" or "fully destructive environment" or "now you can play as the bad guys". In the end, the sequels are just a little less disappointing than the original movie game.

So, who would I like to see in a video game?

Unless the current pattern makes some major adjustments I would like to see no more Marvel games. I would hate to see Captain America, Thor, Ironman, Daredevil, Nick Fury, Electra, or any other Marvel heroes have their image tarnished by a worthless video game.

DD's Day
Once upon a time a Daredevil game was promised. Long have I waited for the Scarlet Swashbuckler to get his own game. I think it could use different types of "sight" for different situations. If I can't get that then I certainly need a MUA II since MUA is one of my favorite games to come out lately.

w/e just summing up what i said i would like a sequel to marvel ultimate alliance and x-men legends and i would also like a new game where u could make your own hero and like customize his looks and powers and stuff (probably never gonna happen but it would be freakin sweet)

Posted by killstark44 on 2008-03-09 23:31:47
bring us x-men legends 3,a civil war based game would be really cool if you got to choose a side.how about a game about cable and deadpool?an iron fist game sounds very entertaining.

Ultimate Alliance TWO info?
Hey how about some Ultimate Alliance info or even a release date would be awesome? Also a Daredevil game where you actually use your heightened sense of hearing (Wii remote speaker) or touch (rumble feature) in applicable situations. Or even a tactical SHIELD game in which you run support missions for heroes.

Posted by depodude on 2008-03-10 08:41:03
Must have Thor!
A nice RPG set in both Asgard and Midgard with the potential to interact with/ play as some of the supporting cast could be really cool. A couple of squad based missions with The Warriors Three, a journey through Hellla's realm, these all sound like they could be awesomeness incarnate

Posted by nearmint67 on 2008-03-10 09:39:24
MUA 2: Villains
MUA 2 should be entirely based on villains. And yeah, a Daredevil free-roamer would toatally own!

Daredevil Game
As many have stated already on this blog, a Daredevil game would be amazing. It they nailed the agility and acrobatics of the character rather than just hammering 'billy club' swinging it would be so much fun. Kinda like Assassins Creed but faster.

It seems like quite a few people want a Daredevil game, so give the masses what they want.

Posted by Aeus on 2008-03-10 12:47:35
give him his own game.
Or at least put him in MUA2
Darkhawk!!!

he flies.
he punches
he kicks
he jumps.
he blasts.
and he can also turn back to human form.
there can even be a space level.
sounds good to me.

As a gamer...
I love video games more than marvel which is kind of surprising because i love marvel ALOT. So in my response, as a gamer, i know other gamers and/or other people love flying games, with GOOD flying design and gameplay with amazing aerodynamic flying. Also to try something new and really friken cool, i would say Silver Surfer cause even though i don't know to much about him he looks really cool and i know a few his powers which are also pretty friken cool. My 2nd opinion would be Angel (Warren Worthington III) PLZ, PLZ, PLZ, take mine into consideration. Peace

A Marvel Zombies game would be amazing! What if you started off the game playing as living members of the Avengers in an impossible battle against zombified Sentry. Then switch off between playing as zombies and survivors (including Magneto in his last moments.) It may need a Mature rating but Marvel Zombies is genious! I mean Marvel characters eating people? It sells itself.

Doctor Strange
I'd Love to see a Doctor Strange game, personally. Not one based on the animated movie, mind you, but one tied to the original theme and origin of the Lee/Ditko era.

I think there are a lot of possibilities in being able to combine the noir and supernatural elements of the character into an action/RPG.

Posted by WAMMember on 2008-03-11 11:04:54
Wolverine/Deadpool
There needs to be a wolverine game that can be taken seriously. X2: Wolverine's revenge was horribly underdeveloped, repetitive, and really didn't reach the potential of the character's abilities. Wolverine is supposed to be a master of many fighting styles, have a vast knowledge of firearms, in addition to his claws. The fighting mechanic in no way took advantage of that. There needs to be a game that takes all facets of his fighting into consideration. Also, the potential for a great storyline is undeniable. You could start from his early life as a child-settler as an almost tutorial stage, and as each part in his life unfolds he could "learn" new techniques, and develop as a character. It could easily be developed into an RPG to rival even the greatest games throughout videogame history.

Or there could be a deadpool game. The combination of martial arts, vast weaponry, and teleportation lends itself well to a fantastic RPG with great range of fighting combo's.

A Nightcrawler game would also be awesome.

Posted by CJB48 on 2008-03-11 12:35:20
i wanna see a exiles game
why not a game where your characters have unlimited possibilities i mean look at the series itself it had so many random team members and the game play could be something like ultimate alliance instead of costume changes u get new character variations etc.

Cable/Messiah Complex and The Punisher
I have two ideas, I think a game based on the Messiah CompleX storyline would be a great idea. I think that story translates especially well into a cinematic movie or video game experience. Perhaps you could make the game starring Cable and tell the story from his perspective so we can find out what all he was doing behind the scenes during the opening of Messiah CompleX.

Also, I believe someone mentioned it earlier but I would love another Punisher game based on the Ennis storylines. The game that came out around the time of the Thomas Jane Punisher movie was excellent. I recommended it to all of my friends as well as many customers who came into the Gamestop I worked at. It was really really good and actually did the character justice I thought. Maybe it would be fun to use some of the MAX storylines this time.

Another thing I would like to see is The Punisher's inclusion in more Marvel games period. Where was he during Marvel Ultimate Alliance? I loved that game but I think now that War Journal has been relaunched and Frank is running around in the Marvel Universe again that we should definitely see more of The Punisher in big crossover games like that. I remember anxiously playing Ultimate Alliance thinking "Wow! They've got Ghost Rider and Deadpool in here, Castle's got to be some kind of secret unlockable!"

Marvel Mercenaries
A third person game with all of the Marvel mercs, including the Six Pack, Cable, of course Deadpool, Taskmaster, maybe with a Mature or possibly an Adult rating. There is a wide variety of powers (such as Domino's Luck power, Deadpool/Solo's teleportation, Cable's telekinesis)

An Iron Fist game would be pretty awesome as well. Everybody loves kung fu, and Danny's life story has good plot developments

Full Out Marvel Universe.....
A dream I had, one filled with spiritual hope and deep prayer, i mean like deep meditation prayer... Had a Marvel Universe on the grandest of stages. a universe where i,or we can be any character,i mean Any Character! like mentioned above a Grand Theft Autoe'sque meets The Marvel Universe. But from crime on the streets solved by your fav, or going beyond earth, to outer space in different places,like to go sing with Blackblot,or simply go kick the crap outta Some scaly skrulls. Handle problems of all sorts, add a create a character mode where you yourself could ,use a webcam ,and customize ur own superhereo , then join the x-men,avengers,defenders,nova corp,Iron Men,Cap or his soilders!take a ride with johnny blaze,surf the stars, be Nova,ETC... !make it 1st,2nd, 3rd person and multiplayer! I mean a real No Limits on the Universe! I know a bunch of people would Dig It! An All Out Marvel Universe! Bananas...

how about sumthing new?
a free roamer game with these characters in it as playables each with their own little storyline and own original movesets and movement techniques:
6 heroes
Spider-Man-Not like the movies, like the comics or the TV shows. Tech: Swinging on his webs
Ghost Rider-Also like the comics, not the movie.
Tech: Riding round the city on his hellfire bike, awesome.
Iron Man-Once again, comics, not movie.
Tech: Flight
Nightcrawler-Comics once again.
Tech: Teleporting in a free-roam never hurts.
Silver Surfer-Phasing through a building, a bus, and a train like the movie was one sweet move.
Tech: Flight
Daredevil-Poor guy never got his game on. Desperately needs it and deserves it.
Tech-Swinging with his billyclub extention.
6 Villians
Venom-two costumes, the classic tendrils one, and the new messed up, Spider-Man rip off one.
Tech-Swinging with his tendrils
Dr. Doom-The comic version would be perfect for this guy, and for once not the main villian, cuz he never wins, and always gets killed or sumthing.
Tech- Jetpack under his cape like in MUA
Magneto-The movie version of this guy would be good
Doc Ock-We played as Green Goblin in the first SM movie game, we played as Venom in the USM game, but never got to see Doc Ock as a full playable character in a free roamer.
Tech-Four 2 arms scale heights and the other 2 to raise him off the ground
Apocolypse-No game has had this guy as a character. He was a boss in XML2 and in MVC2.
Blackheart-an awesome character (yet slow) in MVSF and a boss in MUA and Ghost Rider. Great character for Free Roam.
Tech-Vanish into a closeby shadow and reappear. kinda like NC's Teleporting.
The game could also have a classic fighter mode where you could play as those characters in full 3D, yet the gameplay would be in classic side-scroller style, unlike the unfortunate MRotI where they introduced 3D arena fighting marvel style along with some weird yet powerful new characters like Paragon. The graphics for the game could be low since there'd be alot to do, but a game with USM style edgy graphics would be great since the characters were originated in comics and the edgy look would look clean. Also, if possible, every building within the game should be accessible ground to roof, inside or out, from building windows to doors to elevators. That would be awesome. Also since it wouldn't be possible on 360, the game as a PS3 exclusive would be great as well.

Posted by darcone7 on 2008-03-11 18:34:30
One of my favourite ideas has always been an FPS based on Cable and Deadpool (and quite possibly related issues either side of that series including Messiah Complex and the new Cable series) What I really like the idea of however would be to have Free Radical (the developer who created Timesplitters) to be the ones to make it: they've done time travel, they've done psychic powers, they've done humour and they've certainly done fun games. Seems like the perfect match to me... it's a pity that I doubt they'd be interested in the license....

Generally I'd like to play games which just use as much of the 'marvel license as possible' - say take MUA with all the characters from all the versions, then add in She-hulk, Cable, Man Thing, Punisher, Nova, Iron Fist and generally any character currently featured in a core universe book plus any iconic ones which are dead. Either with an action RPG or a fighting game it could be great fun just to concoct some bizarre teams.... how about a team consisting of how about beign able to have Howard the Duck fight Deadpool. I think the real trick in general is to utilise the universe to tis fullest potential and not just stick to the really famous characters.

On a side note a game similar to spider-man 2 (possibly 3, I havent played it...) but with various characters in it would be good fun - Nightcrawler in particular springs to mind but anyone with an interesting means of moving around the city could be great fun.



Posted by Alexjholt on 2008-03-11 18:41:22
oh and another thing....
Not to much of an idea about the universe, but what would be beautiful would be if people somehoe managed to create a game which looked like a living David Mack picture.... would be technically incredibly challenging... but so beautiful...

I would of said Ironman, but since we got that and it looks good.

Thor - Number one choice
Daredevil

Silver Surfer

I would also like to see some solo games that have been done, but this time done right.

They've had games, but the were not very good yet all three have loads of potential.

Sandbox, sandbox, sandbox.

An Avengers game with the full roster of the 1980's (including characters like Starfox)...West Coast Avengers...Thor (based in appearance and storyline on Simonson's run)...Daredevil (Bendis/Maleev, Gaydos, Lark, Bru era)...Cap! of course (Bru/Epting era with Kirby and Steranko flashbacks)...heck, how about any game that looks like Kirby-style animated (FF, Inhumans, Devil Dinosaur, Eternals), Iron Fist with Heroes for Hire participation (Fraction/Bru/Aja style would be a huuuuuuge hit)...Power Pack...Marvel magic-verse with Dr. Strange and all the other occult characters...It's too bad Marvel lost rights to Micronauts, ROM, and G.I. Joe...more obscure characters like Howard the Duck...Get Stan the Man to do narration!

Captain America/Daredevil/M.U.A. II
Not only would i like to see these games made, but i would also like to see marvel take a step back from the rpg style gameplay spawned from x-men legend (except for ultimate alliance II of course). dont get me wrong, those games were fun and all, but imagine how cool it would be if we saw a game with spinter cell quality graphics. of course that wouldnt suit every character but for someone like the punisher or possibly daredevil i think it would mesh well. the main point is that seeing either the RPGs or half made movie themed games (F.F. 1&2) released from marvel year after year is getting old. i would like to see some more originality (no lego games please!) and unique feels to characters as opposed the more generic ones that we see so often in those rpg style games. marvel has too diverse of a character selection to waste the time and money on half-baked notions. the punisher game was a great start. i also felt Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects was a step in the right direction. although it did have its flaws, every character had their own feel to them and their own unique detailed animations such as walking and running styles ect. anyway, im rambeling. sorry. i hope someone up the ladder reads this though. thanks!

Video Game Ideas
I grew up reading Marvel comics and am now also a gamer. It's great to me every chance I get to play as one of my favorite heroes!

I think the Marvel MMO would have been a GREAT next step. The idea of it actually helped me decide which Next-Gen video game system I was going to buy.

In case anyone is listening, here is an idea of how I thought it could go: Most people have played some type of MMO at this point, so, we have an idea how they are played. Hundreds of characters all running around at the same time. This obviously would not work for a Marvel MMO. It would be weird to have 20 or 30 Spideys all swinging around the same city at the same time. So, instead of the regular "open world" MMO, what I would suggest is when you log into the game, you are at something similar to a comic book stand. On this stand there are books to choose from representing the stories/areas that are available to play in. Let's say the books are for example: The Civil War, The Secret Invaision, Age of Apocalypse, The House of M or even the Secret War #1. After you choose one of the books, on the cover it will show you which characters are available to be played in that particular story. You wouldn't want to open Cap or Ironman up to be played in the Civil War, for example, because they have key roles to play. So players could choose from other characters and if the one they want is not available, then they could try another "issue" of that same story. This would also allow characters who were not in the original to take part in the story. Say you want to bring Nova home to Earth and take part in the Civil War or see if the Sentry could have made a difference in House of M. Plus, this way you could also choose the length of your game. Say you want to experiance the entire Civil War or just battle Galactus the first time he came to Earth. With the rich history of Marvel stories, there would be no need to make up too many "go here/beat that" missions that most MMO use. Allow gamers and comic fans the chance to explore, take part in or try and change the outcome of some of their favorite stories.

What I'd also like to see(like a LOT of folks it seems) is Ultimate Alliance 2. The first is arguably the BEST comic based video game of all time. There HAS to be at least a second, if not more!

You asked for heroes who haven't had their own games, so, other ideas I have:

First off, THOR! Battle thru Ragnarok or even take it from the current story arch to rebuild Asgard and find his lost people.

Silver Surfer or Nova - This would be an open exploration type game where you can travel around the universe helping people on different planets. Would probably fit well with the Annihalation Wave.

The Punisher - Think GTA, but if you get too many "stars" not only will the cops but SHIELD or Captain America comes after you!

A Civil War fighting game would also be good. Or, someone mentioned the Unlimited Wrestling Federation, how about Contest of the Champions?

How about an RTS where you could be SHIELD or the Red Skull and deploy your armies to take control of areas on a map. Having Captain America or Crossbones as "special weapons characters" you can deploy.

Finally, how about playing as Dr. Doom or Magneto and see if you can actually take over the world and defeat it's greatest heroes one at a time?

i wana see a deadpool game. he needs more hype then just geust staring in another game. deadpool needs to be more well known so we can make him into a movie. but realy, deadpool is a favorite with the people who have played MUA. my friend works at a comic book store and this kid came in with his dad and they asked for Deadpool comics because the played the game and liked deadpool (so we gave them the Wolverine Origins comic with deadpool). and a deadpool game would be alot of fun.

oh and what everyone wants is a third "Marvel VS Capcom" so you guys have to get that game made, lol

Firestar!!!!
Firestar was missing from Ultimate Alliance! how else was i supposed to complete my Spidey and his Amazing Friends Team?!? sure Torch made for a great fourth man... but it just wasn't complete without Firestar...

Ultimate Alliance 2
It's good to see I am not the only one who wants to see a Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 game come out... but while I am waiting for that to hit, a quick fix of Downloadable content would be much... i repeat... MUCH!!!!! appreciated. so... uh... you Marvel gamer guys... uh... how about hooking a long time fan up yeah?

Posted by okagenologan on 2008-03-11 23:32:46
We're grown ups now!!!
Any and all of these characters would be great in games, as long as the stories live up to Marvel standards. But a punisher that doesn't use his weapons to thier bloodiest potential won't fly! All we really want isto see these guys and gals do what they do, not dumbed down for mass consumption, or watered down for kiddies. Sure, do Ultimate Spidey for the kids, but let me get control of some bloody as hell berserker rage too!!
My point is, now that you guys have control of ALL your games, give us the powers we really want!

Posted by guildenstern77 on 2008-03-11 23:40:42
oh yeah...
I want a MacFarlane Spidey game!!!

Posted by guildenstern77 on 2008-03-11 23:44:15
RE: We're grown Ups now
Wasn't the last Punisher game that was made rated for teens/mature audiences? Not that i played it... but there was that whole thing about how you could torture people and then kill them in the most mindless ways possible...

Posted by okagenologan on 2008-03-11 23:57:16
the flash
i didn't read every post (way too many) but i think the flash should get his own game and maybe even deadpool (everything i know about deadpool i got from ultimate alliance so i want to learn all i can since he is my new almost fav tied only by spider-man)

Games for PC!!!
There're lots of games that would be cool, e.g. an own daredevil-game, an avengers-game, maybe like MUA or F4 with storys and characters based on the avengers, the ultimates, the new avengers, the young avengers, a-next, the thunderbolts.... And, of course, MUA 2 with lots of heroes (50 or more would be cool, maybe downloadable stuff, maybe some no-more-villains like venom or winter soldier)!!!

All this would be very cool of course (!) and there are many other cool ideas, but please release all the games also for PC!!! I'm always jealous when there are games like incredible Hulk: Ultimate destruction not for PC!!

Immortal Iron Fist
If it was done well Iron Fist could be a huge franchise because it would not only be asuperhero game it would cover the kung fu genre as well. Tekken / Iron Fist?

Also rather than yet another fighting game or a basic 'go to the nextroom for a cut scene' type game it needs to be in more of an interactive world. Any of the street level heroes works for this. Think of Assassins Creed, climbing walls, free-running with superpowers all around new york.

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2
Thats what we need! Not a single character game, we need Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2. If you were gonna go with a single player game either Punisher or Thor but I would MUCH rather have Ultimate Alliance 2.

Posted by Shockwave3000 on 2008-03-12 08:17:51
One on One
All of these are awesome game ideas and would sweet to experience.
Heres a short and quick idea though. A one on one fighter game that has an obscene amount of characters and unlockables. I mean the marvel universe to be 'opened'. Characters with connections open others and so forth. But with the simple style of the marvel vs. capcom games. All of the appropriate powers at your disposal. That would be fun and have a replayability factor that would irresistable.

Daredevil
I would love to see a game spotlighting Daredevil. He's my favorite hero and it seems to me like we don't see enough of him. It could be in the same feel as the Spider-man games, where you have free roaming throughout New York (paticulary Hell's Kitchen), but add some new and fresh gameplay and really take advantage of DD's capabilities.

Other than that, I would love to see the Marvel fighting game back in the works. The idea of being able to challenge your friends with your favorite character against theirs is awesome. I was really upset when I heard it was canceled. Please bring it back.

Marvel Ultimate fighting game/Cap
I would like Marvel to re-start the project for the Ultimate fighting game which it intended to develop with EA, but as per gamespot.com's info, the project went bust.

As far as your question of the week is concerned, which super hero.......Captain America game, which includes his beginings from the days with Bucky and Invaders to his death and beyond. The game should avoid lousy villians, only the likes of Red Skull, Ultron, Dr. Doom should be used.

Best Marvel Superhero
The best Marvel Superhero is Cable. What is not to like about Scott Summers and Jean (Grey) Summers son. Even the Ultimate X-Men's Cable is awesome. Think about it. Two of the most powerful X-Men produce an offspring whose who goal in life is to destroy apocolypse.
Another great game would be to play the Age of Apocolypse series. Blink was a cool character as was Morph, and battling "good guys gone bad" would be cool.

Bet you wish you hadn't asked now, don't ya?

Posted by Perplexor on 2008-03-12 10:35:46
So far we've been missing...
I'd really like to see Kitty Pryde and Lockheed appear in a game somewhere. Also CLoak and Dagger or even Northstar and Aurora.

That would be cool.

Magik??

Posted by chaos_ink on 2008-03-12 10:59:57
a sequel to Ultimate Alliance would be cool

New game ideas
I think a Thunderbolts game in the same vein as MUA would be interesting....

How about a game based on The Dark Tower?

Posted by sheephead on 2008-03-12 16:44:32
so here's what I think...
I think a Silver Surfer game or a Thor game would be pretty sweet! Something that would have to be a "WOW!!! Look at the graphics, and ass-kickin' moves they've got goin'!!" type of a game. Silver Surfer and Thor would require that type of gameplay.

Posted by spideyfanforlife on 2008-03-12 16:51:05
by the way...
oh yeah...so i'm like a major spidey fan, and i know that they've made a lot of spider-man games...but they REALLY need to make up for that dumb Friend or Foe game. That was just retarded. Seriously, some major respect needs to be repaid to us web-head fans out there. Something with a cross-over with another Marvel character...like Cap. or something. Something with even better moves than we saw in Spider-man 2, but not as redundant as the constantly-helping-civilians-who-have-the-same-voices-and-the-same-problems theme. Something fresh for Spidey.

Posted by spideyfanforlife on 2008-03-12 16:58:24
Venom
A comic based Spider-Man game would be great. Unlockable Venom and Black Cat to play as along with a versus mode with every character? Also an Avengers game.

Posted by MystikSamurai on 2008-03-12 16:59:58
I agree with the others
So someone said we needed a Civil War game and an Iron FIst game. TOTALLY AGREE!! IRON FIST?? THAT WOULD BE GREAT! CIVIL WAR?? ALSO COMPLETELY AWESOME!!

Posted by spideyfanforlife on 2008-03-12 17:05:05
Doctor Strange (repost)
Not sure why my original post disappeared, but I wanted to restate my "vote" (?) for a Doctor Strange game. With the recent upsurge in the "magic" genre (read: Harry Potter; Spiderwick; Golden Compass) it could be a viable property if marketed well.

I would rather it harkened back to the original Lee/Ditko era, having a darker, noirish atmosphere, instead of the (much-appreciated but overly x-men-ish) animated movie.

The EA Chicago Fighting Game
Whatever happened to the EA Chicago Fighting Game? It looks like you harvested the opening intro for that game... and created the Iron Man Adver Videos.

Posted by PorkChopExpress1 on 2008-03-12 17:39:53
All of the marvel super heroes
Make a fighting game.. with all the marvel super heroes fighting against each other THAT WOULD BE CRAZY!!!!!!

Posted by skarmack1 on 2008-03-12 17:50:05
Hi fellows! I agree the greats Ideas from Jim
Greetings from Venezuela!!! That would be great if we all have a marvel site just to play a game on line with our predilect hero or villian (if available) inside the adventure of the comic story that we prefer, also i think there must be a catalog for "adventures" and another one for "heroes".. and we will chose which adventure and which hero (if it wasnt played by another true believer)... would be cool if we could play within our favorite hero (like RPG) in games like MUA or marvel nemesis rise of the imperfects... see ya around guys!!

Posted by Jarai Fury on 2008-03-12 20:27:42
Deadpool,Carnage,Captain Marvel
i think it would be cool to play as these 3 because they don't have a video game for themselves.They would be great for the video gaming world.Do you ever see these guys fighting someone in their own game?

Posted by MarvelKidd35 on 2008-03-12 20:50:32
Ability to add characters?
Ive always wondered why some game developer didnt figure out how to add characters and levels to a pre-existig game like MUA. Then after the game had been out for a while I think marvel released hulk, cyclops and some others. Thats a smart way to go.

Imagine if capcom had figured that out back in the day? They couldve sold us the Xmen COA, Xmen Vs Streetfighter, and marvel vs capcom packs all in addition to those original engines and they could STILL be making new packs.

Posted by sirviz on 2008-03-12 21:16:34
Marvel Knights
Also I think a gritty Marvel Knights game would be great! Moon Knight, Punisher, Daredevil...good times

Posted by sirviz on 2008-03-12 21:17:43
MUA II
Simply, a MUA sequel. Game was awesome!! Cable, Bishop, Iron Fist, Sentry, Punisher, Quasar, and many others could be added. A solo Captain America or Deadpool game would also be cool.

Great ideas from JimiZ9k
The idea of the comicbook levels its awesomeit worked on Marvl Ultimate Alliance with the special missions, a game covering those great key moments from the golden, to the silver,to 70`s,80`s,and present day would be awesome,by the way what about the unlockables,it would be graeat to read those storylines in our Marvel game and upload(if it goes for PC) missions and new charachters and by the way, someone from Marvel is reading this? or they are just trowing a piece of meat to be entertain to all Marvel Fans here and be posting like idiots,and let Marvel Zombies live!!!

Posted by Blodawn5 on 2008-03-12 22:59:31
Oh and by the way secret codes that could be in comics,that will allow us to get more unlockables!!!

My 2 Cents, and a question...
Hello Justin and Chris

Personally, I can't wait for more news on Activision's projects (New Spidey and M:UA). I know the 360 and PS3 get the lion's share of attention in new games, but I am currently gaming on the Wii and PSP, and hope those systems keep getting the Marvel love.

Speaking of which, I'm also looking forward to Sega's two summer movie games, although I was hoping they would both be out on PSP, only Iron Man has been announced, and not Incredible Hulk. I love playing the Marvel games on PSP, so I am curious as to why Sega is making an Iron Man game for PSP, but not Incredible Hulk?

As for your questions, I would love to see a Daredevil game, an Avengers Legends game a la X-Men Legends, and, of course, everyone's favorite long shot: Marvel Vs. Capcom 3!

Thanks for reading!
