Marvel: Ultimate Alliance

[spideyboy_1111]

her "absorbing" power was kinda not used very well in the legends games though

[Agent Thermal]

her "absorbing" power was kinda not used very well in the legends games though

Agreed - but I always thought it was my incompetence in action. :D Like I wasn't performing the move properly or something...?

[Savage]

Yeah, she was only able to absorb the powers of grunts, which sucked. I wanted some boss powers. Tried to absorb Michail(SP?) and start multiplying or something but no such luck there.

Used what I could though. Her together with Gambit was a perfect couple. Made for two of the best groups in the game. Dark Past and Double Date. Just unstoppable and rendered everyone else obsolete. Charging up a car and having Rogue throw it=awesome.

[GoldGoblin]

You guys really think there will be like five X-Men characters that are playable?

[Savage]

I don't see why not. I think 4 sounds better though. 4 or 5 From each team and the rest a free for all of Marvel's big names.

Oh, and I think Firestar will be in this. Spider-man and his Amazing Friends was probably why Iceman was a no brainer to them. That being said, I think Beast will make it since he's a former Avenger and so will Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver. Cyclops and Storm would be there because they are both team leaders and pure representatives of the X-men.

[jaydawg]

More likely than not. I'm guessing Cyclops and Storm are going to round out the x-men team. IF there are any extra X-men, I wouldn't be surprised if Rogue or Colossus made the cut. After all, X-men wise theres no tank. So I'm pretty optimystic about Rogue. At least one of the Wii or PSP exclusives is probably a reused X-man anyways.

[블라스]

Ugh, not Colossus.
Rogue or Beast, I'd say.

[WorthyStevens]

That being said, I think Beast will make it since he's a former Avenger and so will Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver. Cyclops and Storm would be there because they are both team leaders and pure representatives of the X-men.

Quicksilver would be pretty wicked. I'm still hoping for Hawkeye.

[Horrorfan]

Colossus rocks. He beats both rogue and beast in my opinion.


I also agree that they need to get rid of the ****ing timer on the danger room esque training. Everytime I wanted a good Juggernaught vs Colossus slug fest, the timer ran out just it heated up :down

[The_Vision]

My fave team was Rogue, Iceman, Xavier and Gambit.

Btw any new updates?

[Charlie No-One]

Magneto Rogue/Scarlet Witch Storm Iceman

[Gambit_Fan]

Nooo Activision don't have the rights to put Iron Man in any of their games so guess he wont be in this after all

still kant believe Activision lost the rights for Iron Man i was looking forward to playing as him i notice that has soon as it was reported Activision lost the rights they changd the case on the official site so Iron Man's head is not on it :(

[Savage]

Doubtfull. The game's already in progress and close to finished, unlike the Iron Man movie game. I'm positive he'll still be in it just like Aquaman was in Justice League Unlimited even AFTER the embargo because his eps were already made.

[Gambit_Fan]

i hope your right

[Nathan]

I'm pretty confident that Iron Man will still make the cut.

[The_Vision]

Hes got to be in if the Mandarin is

[GoldGoblin]

Thunderball is added
http://www.marvelultimatealliance.com/characters.php?id=66

Wrecker is added
http://www.marvelultimatealliance.com/characters.php?id=67

[Cyrusbales]

Well they won't have collossus, he's too much like the thing as a big hitter, and they'll put enough people to have the classic avengers line up, so iron man thor cap and any other really.

Also the best character in XML2 was juggernaught!

[jaydawg]

Good to see alot Rogue love here.

I'm just wondering what roll Black Panther will play in the game. After all, its really appearant that these heroes are going damn near everywhere they can (Space, Helicarrier, Atlantis, Asgard, Hell, Murderworld, even the freakin Mandarin's castle). Since its confirmed he's in the game, is it Silver Surfer style in Wakanda? Or like Namor?

[Savage]

I'm betting it's like Namor. Maybe it's a choice between saving Wakanda and saving Atlantis.

[Barbossa]

That would be an interesting choice. I honestly can't decide which i'd pick to save :(

[Agent Thermal]

I'm trying to imagine a team of people like Elektra, Captain America, Blade, and Daredevil against the Wrecking Crew...:D

Yet somehow, even with those characters, the game will still allow you a good fighting chance. ;) And that's what I love about it!

[Charlie No-One]

Atlantis. Namor>Black Panther.

[Savage]

Black Panther for me. I'd still get to see Namor and fight him as a boss. Black Panther would probably take care of things himself or get help from someone else and I'd have to play the game again to even see the character.

Besides, I'm more of a BP fan than Namor, who I can play in skirmish later anyway. :)

[Red]

Still no word on DD.

[Trigger]

Nope, none at all. Maybe this is just me, but why is Thunderball named the way he is? His profile didn't mention any electrical-based attacks.

[Brainiac 8]

I'm still hoping for Adam Warlock, I so want him playable....or Quasar.:up: :)

[The_Vision]

I hope Juggys in as a boss

[TrailerCues]

I can not wait for this & that DC Game. More teamup style games need to be made

[Spidey-Bat]

I don't think Iron Man will be in this. I saw on GameStop that Activision isn't making the Iron Man movie game and it could be b/c they lost the rights to him.

[Superman \S/]

Now that Marvel did tis with all the heroes, i hope Dc in teh future does the same.

[Spidey-Bat]

Now that Marvel did tis with all the heroes, i hope Dc in teh future does the same.

[Savage]

He'll be in. They made the game already. They didn't even start on the Iron Man movie game. They're not going to drop a character from the game that's already made just because they lost the rights. The game is out in 2, 3 months and has been in production for quite a while. Taking him out now would be like going back and taking him out of The Punisher game.

[spideyboy_1111]

ummm they took angel out of X-men legends last minute... as well as lizard from spidey 2 movie game

[Savage]

They took Angel out because they couldn't figure out how to work him or something like that. Nothing to do with rights. My guess is the same goes for Lizard. I can't think of one time where a character was removed for rights. There was an Aquaman embargo on Justice League Unlimited because of the show. This wasn't able to come into play till the last season because the episodes were already drawn and finished with him in it. Same goes here. Iron Man was done since X-men Legends II. He was probably the first guy in there. The game is almost finished. I don't see him going anywhere.

[Charlie No-One]

I hope your right.

[Savage]

Besides, Bruce Banner is in the game and he's not even under Activision. Sierra holds the rights to both Hulk and Bruce Banner yet he's in there and I'm positive that the Hulk will be in there as well. I'm sure of pretty much the entire original Avengers line-up with the exception of Antman/Giantman and Wasp. They'd probably be too difficult to do and are more than likely to be NPCs.

just saying.. it can be done.

plus.. Lizard was taken out last minutes do to raimi possibly wanting to use him for the 3rd movie.. (wich he didnt)

[Savage]

ah...Damn. There goes my half of my hope.:(
Still got my fingers crossed for Iron Man though. Just read Extremis and mama mia does he kick ass.

[Savage]

Hey, just thought of something that would be an awesome addition. Got the idea while watching the Nightcrawler vid. The ability during an attack to press jump twice and drop your opponent from up high. It'd be cool for the flyers and guys like Spider-man. Too bad Nightcrawler's not playable.

[Spidey-Bat]

He'll be in. They made the game already. They didn't even start on the Iron Man movie game. They're not going to drop a character from the game that's already made just because they lost the rights. The game is out in 2, 3 months and has been in production for quite a while. Taking him out now would be like going back and taking him out of The Punisher game.

Has he even been cofirmed as a PC?

[Savage]

Well he was in X-men Legends II as kind of an easter egg/teaser. It'd be kind of wrong for him not to be there for the game he basicly introduced.

[Spidey-Bat]

I don't think they'd care if it was wrong:o

[Sabretooth]

I wouldn't mind THAT much if Iron Man didn't make it in. I liked him in XML2,but he never interested me outside of Avengers.

[GoldGoblin]

So I guess Iron Man's alternate costume will be War Machine.

[Trigger]

Most likely, but that's assuming Jim Rhodes doesn't make a cameo.

[Savage]

I think Iron Man not making it would be an even bigger injustice than Daredvil not making it. Even right now in Civil War he's pretty much leading the opposing team against Captain America. He's one of the biggest of names and the heaviest of the hitters.

That and I want to see his old school armor in there. :up::D

[블라스]

I am so sure Iron Man will be there, that I'd cut my pinky toe if he didn't make it.
There's a reason he was a bonus in XML2....they were already planning this.

[Sabretooth]

Does this game take place during CW?

[Savage]

Does this game take place during CW?
Oh no. Just pointing out how much of a big deal he is. I don't see Blade in the Civil War.

[Brainiac 8]

just saying.. it can be done.

plus.. Lizard was taken out last minutes do to raimi possibly wanting to use him for the 3rd movie.. (wich he didnt)


Which is why I'm really hoping that means we get Lizard for the third game.:up:

[Sabretooth]

Oh no. Just pointing out how much of a big deal he is. I don't see Blade in the Civil War.
Then again,CW is just a rip off of IC and about the ''Big Three' splitting apart. ANd I'm not saying he's unimportant,I just can't get interested in him.

[Agent Thermal]

That and I want to see his old school armor in there. :up::D

Ha ha - that WOULD be interesting...:D

[블라스]

-\S/

[dafunk_jr]

saw in a trailer for the game that you upgrade your different suits and that if you dont save atlantis then Namor dies.said there will be many other situations like this where heroes might die.

[imaperson2]

yeah....your talking about the comic con one right?

[Agent Thermal]

said there will be many other situations like this where heroes might die.

Oh, don't worry about that - in my initial stages of playing this game, MANY heroes will die. :D ;)

[Barbossa]

Awwwww....come on, at least put a spoiler tag on it for other people :(. I was looking forward to finding out what reaction that decision caused :(

[dafunk_jr]

sorry man,didnt mean to spoil it for you.and yes it was from the comic con video.i could have sworn i saw hawkeye's name come up as a playable(possibly)in the video

[Barbossa]

sorry man,didnt mean to spoil it for you.and yes it was from the comic con video.i could have sworn i saw hawkeye's name come up as a playable(possibly)in the video

lol it's cool, hopefully I forget anyways. But if you did indeed see Hawkeye as a playable then that more than makes up for it :up:

[Trigger]

sorry man,didnt mean to spoil it for you.and yes it was from the comic con video.i could have sworn i saw hawkeye's name come up as a playable(possibly)in the video

Which one? The only mention of Namor in a Comic-con video was one saying we'd choose wether to save Atlantis or not. I don't recall it ever being said that he'd die.

[dafunk_jr]

you could hear them say it in the background while they were showing people play the game.

[The_Vision]

yeah you can let him live or die i think

[Gambit_Fan]

we need updates every week lol

[Trigger]

We will, once we get closer to release. With such a massive game, and so many characters, I'd imagine it will take longer to post updates.

[imaperson2]

yeah you can let him live or die i think
actually...im pretty sure he said that you can help him...or not help him. i dont think it never said anything about him dying. but it did say that there will be other decisions like this in the game with key characters being able to die.

[bored]

Who saw the Nightcrawler cinematic on the official site? He fights Doombots!

[Nathan]

A week ago. Or was it two?

[imaperson2]

yeah....its quite old.

Did anyone see the Invisible Woman video?

[iceberg325]

Thats cool punisher is in it. I think my starting 4 would be spidey, blade, punisher, and capt america.

[Nathan]

Who's next? Squirrel girl? I'm seriously starting to lose faith in this game. You make a game about Marvel's greatest Heroes and include someone who's only purpose in life is to kill thugs.

Anyway, another slot gone that could've been filled with a more worthy character.

[xwolverine2]

why isnt monkey woman or major victory in this?

[TheCardPlayer]

The Punisher! YES!!!!!



Blade
The Punisher
Elektra
Iron Man maybe.


Hell yes! All my favs are in!

[Nathan]

Someone that is actually in the Superhero business.

[Dark Carnage]

Now, I'm not the only one who isn't impressed with the display quality am I?

I mean, those models look horrendous.

[imaperson2]

huh? the style is done like that on purpose.

[Sparta*]

Punisher??? Meh...

They could have given that spot to another more worthy character like Daredevil. The article that talked about the Punisher also mentioned the Hulk, so he'll probably be playable which is cool. Now we need Iron Man!!

[Delusive]

The one thing that worries me about this game is that some characters may get the shaft, as in, this game may focus on quantity over quality. Anyway, I'm still going to get it, I'm just a tad worried about the game from screens and whatnot (I'm afraid that some moves may be reused by different characters).

Anyway, I can not wait until they confirm Iron Man. This game can not, no, must not exist without him.

[Thanos_6383]

Gah.No Thanos.

[Sebastos]

Cool that Punisher is in it.

[Sebastos]

Wait, i clicked the link....where is he?

[TheCardPlayer]

They say that the game contains heroes such as Blade and The Punisher.

[Axid]

Holy **** I can't wait for this :cmad: :eek:

[xphoenix_forcex]

as long as jean grey is in and playable as both jean and the pheonix, then this game is a definate buy for me. so far im conent with eveyone else included , although i hatw how all fantastic four characters are in and only a few xmen. i know there are alot more xmen, but it still angers me!
but as long as i can have jean/phoenix , i think ill be fine.
i know some people think she wont be playable, but i ave a feeling she will. i mean she is in the trailer and seen in a stillshot of a liveaction scene with other characters so i think thats a good indication, and evenmoreso, i think after X3 she is one of the more recognizable and memorable marvel characters, and also marvel villans (should she be used as one.)

[spideyboy_1111]

jean isnt playable... infact.. all the pics we've seen so far are of her in her DP outfit... soo chances are you might have to face her at one point (ala angel in XML2)

[블라스]

Ok, Punisher is in....so Daredevil has to be in as well.

[lars573]

Hmm. sounds like the logic of a desperate man to me.

The game is called marvel Ultimate Alliance, not XML 3.

[imaperson2]

exactly what was on my mind.

[Agent Thermal]

Yep - unfortunately for THIS game, they have to leave SOME kind of room for an XML sequel. :O As long as they have the "base" X-Men, this game should be good to go as far as that's concerned. :up: Just my opinion.

[WorthyStevens]

Hmm. sounds like the logic of a desperate man to me.

Daredevil IS in... he just hasn't been announced yet...

[jaydawg]

I'll take that link with a grain of salt. Why the hell is no one noticing it also "confirms" Hulk as playable too? If it didnt say that, I'd be more inclined to believe is reliable.

[블라스]

Hmm. sounds like the logic of a desperate man to me.

That's because I am desperate :confused:
But yeah, DD is in, I know it.

[imaperson2]

bad news Gammy, he isnt in. :(

[GoldGoblin]

The game is called marvel Ultimate Alliance, not XML 3.

^Exactly,this game shouldn't have too many X-Men in it.

[Nathan]

Only enough to form a X-Men Team. So I hope we don't get more than 4.

[Barbossa]

The four X-Men should be Wolvie, Iceman, Angel and Colossus. That way you have a fairly balanced team that also only has X-Men in it. Although someone can probably come up with a better one than me :(

[The_Vision]

they ony need 2 playable x-men, 3 max.

[블라스]

bad news Gammy, he isnt in. :(

That joke still isn't funny :( :down

[Axid]

I'll probably have Jean on my team the entire time, seeing how much fun I had with her in XML......

[Charlie No-One]

She isn't playable!

[The_Vision]

and she dosent need to be. She already been playable in 2 games

[Trigger]

Though we could use a few good psychics.

[lars573]

That's because I am desperate :confused:
But yeah, DD is in, I know it.
More and more you look like the crazy guy in the street with a sign that says "The end is f--king nigh b**ches!!"

I'd much rather have Psylocke, than Jean.

[lars573]

And I'd rather not have any X-characters be playable at all.

[Trigger]

I think Psylocke is a bit too...unpopular (for lack of a better word). I think Jean would get chosen over her.

X-Men FTW!! :mad:

[lars573]

Not only are the X-men the least interesting of all Marvel's families (with the FF being a close second) but they had 2 freaking games already. GIVE OTHER MARVEL CHARACTERS ROOM GODDAMMIT!

Pffff. X-men is teh roxxors.

[lars573]

Pedestrian.

[WorthyStevens]

Iron Man has been in XML2 and also has an Iron Man movie game coming out. That doesn't mean he should be excluded from MUA...

[Nightwing]

Iron Man has been in XML2 and also has an Iron Man movie game coming out. That doesn't mean he should be excluded from MUA...

He was also playable in Marvel: Rise of the Imperfects. Which, gave a good feel on the character. You're able to use repulsar rays, rockets, a lot of combat moves, fly around for a decent amount of time using jet boots, and use the uni beam as a finishing move.

[Barbossa]

[WorthyStevens]

I don't think an appearence as an unlockable in a game and an upcoming movie game are equal to two already published games based on only the X-Men :o

To be technical, XML2's roster wasn't COMPLETELY based on the X-Men, as Tony made his way into the game...

I was just rebutting that poster's opinion that no X-Men should be in the game.

AND he is the only Marvel character to have a crossover game with a comic-book character from another publishing company (that'd be XO Manowar).

I think they did. Why would they change the cover? Mystery.

I think Iron Man would be an awesome character, considering al the weapons he has.

[WorthyStevens]

Well, if Iron Man ultimately isn't in the game, here's why (For those who haven't read about it yet):

I totally forgot about that. Man, that has to be the reason Iron Man won't appear in this game. That's really a downer as Iron Man and Captain America are really the only two Marvel characters that stand out for me. Oh, well, I'll most likely still end up getting the game (I don't really like X-Men but I still got X-Men Legends).

[Barbossa]

The game is nearly finished. It's likely he was added before they lost the rights. It's all been explained earlier in the thread...

[Delusive]

That's probably true. I'm sure the game will be great without him, I just really hope he's in it. Anyway, I'm not losing hope yet.

[블라스]

That sucks, I want Iron Man in the game too.
He's one of the Marvel big guns.

[Charlie No-One]

The game is nearly finished. It's likely he was added before they lost the rights. It's all been explained earlier in the thread...

It has also been explained that characters can be pulled, like Angel. If they take him off the cover, I am sure that it had to do with the whole copy-right thing.

[Barbossa]

He probably has been pulled. Which is a shame, hes a crucial member of the Avengers and would have been great fun to put in a team with Cap America and Thor :(

[Agent Thermal]

Could they perhaps bring in War Machine...? :p

[villejo]

Probably.

[lars573]

I didn't say it did. But Ironman hasn't been in many games. IIRC the last time he had an outing was on the PS1. Spidey and the X-men have had the bulk of the Marvel games in the last 15 years.


Least interesting? I think you'd be suprised how many people can relate to the X-Men.
X-men is like a high school, just all the bad parts. I've always identified with Spidey, Ironman, or Punisher the most.

[Manic]

I take it you never liked The Breakfast Club.

Never even watched it. After about 100 seconds I develop this overwhelming urge to smash the TV with a bat. I can't stand 80's teen movies. They need to be burned for the good of humanity

[Savage]

I think they took it off for spoiler reasons personally. They're planning on revealing these characters 1 at a time and here's one they didn't release yet; so now the cover has your basic start-out characters.

And may I add that Elektra looks incredibly hot in that pic. Reminds me of Julia Bond. :)

[Topdawg]

elektra..mmmmm.

[Spidey-Bat]

I think they took it off for spoiler reasons personally. They're planning on revealing these characters 1 at a time and here's one they didn't release yet; so now the cover has your basic start-out characters.
Sounds like you're grasping at straws. If Activision lost the right to make the Iron Man movie game, it doesn't seem very likely he'd be in UA.

[Savage]

Grasping at straws? There's a reason we're seeing the characters we start off with and not guys like the Human Torch and Iceman on there. It's simple as that. If Iron Man isn't in there then Bruce Banner/Hulk should not even be making an appearance considering he's not Activision related in the least.

[dafunk_jr]

its possible that they took ironman off the box cuz they didnt know if they would have to take him out of the game.hope that article means the hulk is in cuz that would be awsome to have captain america,ironman,hulk,and spiderman on the team

[jaydawg]

Why is no one paying attention to the Hulk mention!?!?!?!??!

[Savage]

Hey I am. Pretty exciting news if it's true and more reason for Iron Man to be in there to complete the classic Avengers line-up. :up:

[Untilteld]

This game looks so sick.

[Hulkster]

Well, if Iron Man ultimately isn't in the game, here's why (For those who haven't read about it yet):

http://www.superherohype.com/news/ironmannews.php?id=4583

Man, that sucks. I was hoping to play multiplayer with my friends(Cap vs Iron) just like in Civil War.:(

I hope Hulk will be playable.:)

[Kahoot]

This game looks so sick.
Is that a good thing? I can't tell anymore.

I was watching some Rock version of American Pop Idol the other week there (I say watching it was just back round noise really) people kept saying, "You killed that." as some sort of good thing... You killed that? That's a bad thing surely?

Pedestrian.:o :p

I think everyone just got wrapped in the Iron- Man speculation. I think we all knew Hulk would be in there in some form.

[Agent Thermal]

Right - 'cuz we know that Bruce Banner is in it, but we can't say the same for Mr. Stark. :(

[Savage]

Which is just all kinds of ridiculous.

[dafunk_jr]

they said that they dont have the rights to make an ironman game but never anything about a marvel ultimate alliance game.plus cant marvel just give them permission anyway?cuz if not then thats just stupid.Hulk will be awsome

[FromHell...]

The developers said they could choose ANY marvel characters they want. I agree, so they can't make an Iron Man game, doesn't mean he won't show up here.

[Barbossa]

Don't know if it's been mentioned before, and it should be taken with a pinch of salt because I found it on Wikipedia, but Black Panther has been confirmed, and is to be voiced by Phill LaMarr. Hopefully it's true :)

[imaperson2]

it has been mentioned but who knows...

[Cyrusbales]

I think Hulk would be too overpowered to be in it, same goes for captain marvel, although he would be kinda cool!

But Thor and blade are definately gonna be in my usual line-up when playing this game!

[Savage]

All the bruiser characters seem to have the same base level strength. Hulk will probably be as strong as The Thing and Thor. No problem.

[spideyboy_1111]

I hope dracula is a boss in the game.. after all.. i think there would have to be vampires in the game in order for blade to even consider joining them... hes kinda a loner.. and would see no buisness helping heroes unless it was vampire related...

[Cyrusbales]

I think they could put other characters in rathe than hulk, He's not exactly a team player, there are much more intersting choices out there.

[GoldGoblin]

Shocker is now put up
http://www.marvelultimatealliance.com/characters.php?id=41

[Cyrusbales]

I'm hoping that there are lots of badguys, so rather than lots of 'evil minion 2' etc, we get the likes of shocker and thunderball cropping up without being silly overpowered boss battles!

[lars573]

You hope in vain then. If they didn't it would be very original, thus it's not going to happen. There will be hordes of disposible minions like XML1 and 2.

[Barbossa]

I think that's one of the reasons they made Doom the main enemy. Lots and lots of Doombots to smash up :up:

[jaydawg]

Look, its a freaking game, not the comic. If Hulk can get taken down by Chung Freakin Li in Marvel vs. Capcom, if a series of tanks can kill him in Ultimate Destruction, the guy can be in this game too.

Hell, freakin Thor is a goddamn starter. This is a man who can go toe to toe with Hulk, no problem. Isn't it a bit late to be arguing about power levels?

[lars573]

Well we are talking of comic characters. Whose powers and abilities vary according to the whims and skills of the creator.

You've got it so right :up:. I'm really looking forward to playing as him in M:UA. He's great fun in Ultimate Alliance, and is going to be even more fun in a team!

[Lactophiliac]

My problem with Hulk being in the game is that he pulls focus away from the Thing not to mention they're abilities aren't really going to be that different.

[lars573]

Actually Thing may be about as strong as Hulk but he's not as durable. So you give Hulk a wolvie-esque regeneration feat and an assload of hit points. Give Thing about 75% as much HP (assuming both are the same level). Also Hulk should have some anger based power buffs. Like when you get to 20% health his attack power doubles.

[Charlie No-One]

And the leaping ability too.

The Thing moves at such a slow rate. Hulk jumps at a ginormous rate. That is like a huge difference right there.

[Agent Thermal]

I think there's enough Thing fans to warrant his inclusion. :) Myself included. Honestly, I'd like to have him AND Hulk on the same team - let's see anyone (besides Galactus) physically handle THAT! :eek:

That's it though all the Thing would be is a less useful Hulk.

[Agent Thermal]

That's it though all the Thing would be is a less useful Hulk.

There COULD be, though, an inhibition they could put in the Hulk - such as, once he reaches a certain low health level (or uses a certain move), he has a strong chance of becoming "enraged," where he'll just go berserk and the human player loses control of him - he's then capable of even hurting his own teammates, or falling off a cliff or something. That risk might make some people re-consider choosing him for the team.

Just a thought. :O

[Charlie No-One]

The Thing would have his advantages too. He could fart rocks out of his anal hole.

Just a thought. :OYeah maybe, but I doubt they'd do that. Hopefully they are just more creative then me and can come up with something to make the Thing have advantages.

[Barbossa]

The Thing will probably only be there to complete the FF if the Hulk is indeed in. I can't really see any advantages he has compared to Hulk :confused:

[Agent Thermal]

Yeah maybe, but I doubt they'd do that. Hopefully they are just more creative then me and can come up with something to make the Thing have advantages.

Oh, I seriously doubt it too. :D I'm just trying to show how an ordinary guy can come up with some DISADVANTAGES to Hulk, thereby indicating how much moreso an actual game developer could do it, and do it better at that. Key word being COULD. ;)

[lars573]

That's it though all the Thing would be is a less useful Hulk.
Actually the basic differences in the characters can lead you down desgin paths that make them both different and useful. Thing is all about defense he may not have Hulk's regen or HP but he should have a load of def boosting passive feats. As his rocky hide will be a natural armour suit. Also his rocky nature should make him immune (or at least nearly immune) to fire and cold attacks for sure and maybe poison too. Hulk is all about offense. His regen and high HP are there to make up for his rock bottom defense. Where as Thing soaks up damage like a sponge, Hulk deals it like a Gamma bomb. He should have a large variety or heavy damage dealing hard to block attacks, and his ultra moves should be among the strongest. But after he uses these powers he needs a cool down period where he can't move or block. His rage spikes when he uses they attacks so he need a minute to regain some control.

[Savage]

I seriously think that the two won't have that many differences. In the comics, Juggernaut and Collossus can't really be compared. In X-men Legends 2 they were downright the same. As far as I was concerned they were both unstoppable forces. Same will go for Hulk and The Thing, I'm sure. It'll only come down to a matter of preference of characters.

Aaah. Specials. That's where Juggernaut and the Collosus were different as well. Collossus's defense went up and Juggernaut's fists glowed red and made him stronger. Took out my Iron Man in one punch.

[jaydawg]

Yay!! People talking about the Hulk!

[GoldGoblin]

Shouldn't they release 2 characters a day on the site,because the game is coming out soon.

[Savage]

It's not coming out THAT soon.

[FromHell...]

I wish at points in the game they would make you select two different four man teams for the missions that happen at the same time. Like in X-Men Legends II you can select which mission you do first but you would have to put together two different teams for the two missions. Then you'd have to use some strategy to balance out the two teams and it forces you to try more characters. I don't know about you guys but I had a hard time not using my favorites in Legends throughout the entire game. I don't know. Just an idea I thought would be cool.

[Savage]

Yeah, it was more in my second run that I varied more. Even then though I found it difficult to let go of my Cyclops+Wolverine combo and branch out though.

I've concluded that Bishop is pretty much useless unless you're a fan of the character though. There is pretty much no point to having him in the game besides the relation to Apocalypse and even then, they should have had Cable in there too instead of just an exclusive for the PSP (Exclusives suck, no matter how you put it.)

[블라스]

I thought he was going to be a cool and useful character, Savage.
I mean, he had 2 guns and all.
So he sucks?

[Savage]

He didn't suck. There was just nothing special about him. Nothing that stuck out there. No reason to choose him unless you're a fan of the character or just want variety. I didn't even find him fun to play. He was just...meh.

[FromHell...]

I loved playing as Bishop. His gun attacks were extremely fun to pull off.

[블라스]

I see...
Well, the fact that they were able to make gun attacks work is what gives me hope that The Punisher is going to kick ass in M:UA.

[FromHell...]

Of course my favorite attack with Bishop was pretty much the same one Deadpool has where he just starts blasting people with his two guns. And in the end, Deadpool was more fun to play as.

[FromHell...]

I see...
Well, the fact that they were able to make gun attacks work is what gives me hope that The Punisher is going to kick ass in M:UA.

Yeah, I think Punisher will kick a$$. Plus they could throw in some attacks using explosives.

[Savage]

hmm. For me by the time he even pulled out the guns Storm fried the guy or Wolverine is literally on top of the guy wailing on him. He just didn't pack that "wow" that even the likes of Sunfire had going for him. Plus once you unlock Deadpool and Iron Man, the guy seems even more attractive.

Now if they had really perfected that ability to dish out even more than he takes, I would have been all for him. I'm talking blasting out bursts that take up a quarter of the screen after being hit enough. Maybe punching a guy through a wall or something.

For what it's worth though he was awesome in X-men: Next Dimension. :up:

[Savage]

I see...

o0o yeah! Now him I'm a fan of. Granted he's not as powerful as most, nor is he as visually impressive, but just because I'm a fan I want him in there. :up:

Everything you say is very true but I think one of the reasons I enjoyed playing with him was the fact that he didn't kill everyone right away. And you sort of had to aim with the gun.

Yeah, Bishop ruled in X-men: Next Dimension. The move where he knocks the guy out and then shoots him in the back of the head was pretty sweet.

[블라스]

People think that because of my complete devotion to Daredevil, I hate other characters, but I don't.

"Welcome back, Frank" is probably one of my favorite graphic novels EVER.

And I want to start buying Hulk volumes :up:

In other words, I'd love for those guys to be there.

I know Hulk is a long shot, but hey, at least we have Hulk: UD.

But at least we know Frank is in UA (although he already has a badass game, which I should get again)

Can't wait to see the skull and trenchcoat

[SsM]

the graphics look like crap from what theyve shown.. not something worth being on a next generation platform

[Savage]

It's a port. What did you expect? Besides that, these games have a style all of their own. They're not supposed to look like Oblivion or Resident Evil 4 or even God of War. They're more like chess pieces...Hence why there aren't any close-ups in the game but instead the camera is kind of far back.

I think the gameplay more than makes up for it though...Like Grand Theft Auto. People keep coming back to it for a reason.

[SsM]

true I guess.

[Horrorfan]

X Men Next Dimension was a travesty. I brought it for GC and I literally can't give it away (partly because no one here takes GC trade ins anymore :( ). But it's a blight on my collection.

**** yes. Now i''m complete. So can't wait to play Punisher in this game and i'll defiently be forming some sort of a Marvel Knights team. Can't wait. :unisher:

Could it suck any more?

No insult can ruin the joy of forming a Marvel Knights team with The Punisher. :o

The Punisher only makes it better

:up:

^Cool

:up:

Thats cool punisher is in it. I think my starting 4 would be spidey, blade, punisher, and capt america.

Awesomeness.

Who's next? Squirrel girl? I'm seriously starting to lose faith in this game. You make a game about Marvel's greatest Heroes and include someone who's only purpose in life is to kill thugs.

Anyway, another slot gone that could've been filled with a more worthy character.

Meh, **** you Nathan. :cmad:

The Punisher! YES!!!!!



Blade
The Punisher
Elektra
Iron Man maybe.


Hell yes! All my favs are in!

Indeed.

Someone that is actually in the Superhero business.

Cool that Punisher is in it.

But of course. :unishr: :up:
