Request for interview with Marvel Interactive
With the advent of Marvel Universe Online's cancellation, I was wondering if you could answer some questions. (Questions 1-3 and 11)
1, Is there any chance you guys might bring this game back to life? Particularly considering the sources at IGN suggesting that DC is trying to come out with its own mmo?
2. If the theoretical concept for Marvel Universe Online were to be resurrected, is there any chance you guys could bring it out for the PS3, Wii, and X-Box 360 as well as for the PC?
3. If (and this is a hypothetical big if here) Marvel Universe Online were to be resurrected and released, could you guys consider creating some kinda ultimate limited edition bundle collector kit to go with it? (Though this could be a neat idea for any Marvel game) :D
4. Will there ever be a Marvel Civil War game, where you pick two sides (One is Pro-registration, while the other is Anti-registration) and have a unique ending depending on which side you pick?
5. Will there ever be a Secret Invasion game in the future?
6. Would you guys consider developing/making an X-Men Legends 3 in the future?
7. If given the option, would Marvel consider doing like a real-time strategy game?
8. Would it be possible to make a game based on the Annihilation or World War Hulk arcs?
9. What's it like working at Marvel Interactive (if I am not being too nosey)?
10. Out of all the games developed for Marvel (I.E. X-Men Legends, the Spiderman games, Marvel Ultimate Alliance), which one was your favorite?
11. I was randomly browsing Wikipedia the other day when I came accross an article on an old Marvel Super Heroes RPG, and was wondering. If Marvel Universe Online could be salvaged, would it be possible to structure it somewhat like this RPG (Which I shall provide the link for below.)

With great appreciation and gratitude to Marvel for making such great video games over the years, and for the hosts of this blog taking the time to read our input...

Details if you please
Ok...Im not trying to be critical here...Im really not....but you guys are as about as inside men as you can possibly get. Youre "in the know" and the best you could do was to say there will be Captain America and Thor games down the road? This is old news...I read this in Wizard magazine already! We want hot n juicy tips...straight from Marvel!! We want to know what you guys know, and we know that you know A LOT!! You made mention of the multiple characters that we're clamoring to see digitized into a game but you did not directly answer a single one!! We want details man...details!!! C'mon...share the wealth of knowledge that we KNOW you have!! Pwetty pwease??? :-P

Aziroth,
I think you can actually find that RPG and all of the sourcebooks online. I played it for a while when I was in middle school and it was a lot of fun to play. Get some friends together and break that bad boy out and kill a weekend!

Posted by Aziroth on 2008-04-05 19:37:33

Punisher
I think you guys should make a new Punisher game. It should be an open world game. Something like Grand Theft Auto. It should take place in New york using the same kind of map as Spider-man 2 and 3 and like in the new Hulk game. There should be like a hide out but big with stuff to do inside like call for supplies and guns. He should have cool cinimatic fight scenes, like god of War, using his black ops training.

Punisher should get a second chance
The first punisher game was not that great. He deserves a second chance. On ps3 and the xbox 360 the graphics could be alot better. It could be a good open world game. There could be alot more content fit into it. I also thought it should be like Assasins Creed where if you kill a civilian or cop you lose a part of your health. You should get to kill gansters and mobsters. It would make it interesting trying to escape from the cops after taking out a gang member and trying not to kill the cops in the process.

Ultimate Alliance 2
The next Ultimate Alliance game should feature a civil war story line. Like you should get to pick which side you want to be on then the charecters you want to be on that team. New charecters should be avalible for your team as you play.

Marvel vs. Capcom
I think my life would be completed with a Marvel vs. Capcom 3 for the Xbox 360...

I wonder if..
Captain Falcon is a Capcom Character? If he is, I hope they include him in any sequel Marvel makes.

Punisher 2 plus more
Since he is getting a movie coming out (which im looking forward to) why not have the game play like crackdown world but with Frank castles ability's & have it that if Frank kills an innocent he losing a hit or percentage drain from his ability's & raises his wanted level if seen doing so .
X-men legends 3 we all know how it x-men 2 ended & we need a third installment to keep the unused x-men from MUA2 in x-men 3 ? as it would fit & have them battle the purifiers or something .
Juggernaut Free roam game & have him battle many different characters ? would be cool .

Important question concernin' MUA 2
Someone has quoted Wizard Magazine asserting that insiders mentioned something about Marvel Ultimatae Alliance 2 having elements of the Civil War. Here is the quote below:
[quote="matthood5"]Wizard magazine recentley had this too say.
"Although news is just breaking, Activision has confirmed there will be a sequel to Marvel Ultimate Alliance in 2008! The cooperative gameplay that allowed fans to play through the biggest and baddest of the Marvel Universe will reportedly return with expanded characters and powers at the end of the year. There's no word on specifics for the game's storyline but insiders tell us at least part of the game will be based on last years Civil War event."
Is anyone ese finding out any news on the game ?
I hope the civil war doesnt affect the game too much as some of my favourite heroes such as She Hulk and Storm were on opposing sides and I would like them on the same team.
Well who knows, this statement may not even be true, but i just thought i would share it.
Any more info found by you lot?[/quote]
My question to either Justin or CBaker: Is there any truth to this?
Thanks.

More info?
Aziroth, do you have a link to that statement? Ive searched the Wizard website and can find no mention of this at all. Im not doubting you, Im just saying I cant find anything out there to back it up. If true though, it would be very cool. The prospect has me even MORE excited for MUA 2!!
