Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2: Fusion (360, PS3, Wii, DS)

[shadowdog]

Im more interested in the roster than anything else. If it's going to be heroes vs heroes, they need to bring in some heavy weights to use on whichever side of the issue we, as the player, will decide to stand, and if its going to be a hero and villain team up, I hope to god that the game developers aren't going to waste any spaces on un-interesting characters like Enchantress or Ultron, becuase lets face it, no one wants to play them.
If there are only going to be twenty-something playable characters, they had better use their noodles and give us a really great cast of characters.

I actually wouldn't mind playing Ultron, but other villain characters like Magneto, Venom, Sabretooth, Green Goblin, Doc Ock, Bullseye, etc. should be a priority.

I hope Iron Man has that missile move that he used against that tank.

Didn't know about this thread. Sweet. Too bad a missed the pics though.

Hopefully it'll end up being a mix of all the major Marvel storylines of recent and not just Civil War. Throw in some Annihilation and Planet/World War Hulk in there for some really awesome stuff. Annihilus and the Annihilation Wave would be one hell of a threat and it would still involve Thanos and Galactus.

Oh and we've gotta have Cable and Deadpool and Luke Cage and Iron Fist. Young Avengers should be thrown in too. This will probably be an Avengers dominated game anyway. Mighty Avengers, New Avengers, Secret Avengers, Classic Avengers, Avengers, West Coast Avengers, Young Avengers. House of M costumes for House of M teams even.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

The Runaways too dammit.

Im dissapointed that this game will be revolving around Civil War as that is one of my most disliked comic events ever...and the combining two powers attack sounds kinda hokey. Either way i'll be getting it cause i'm just that weak.

I was really hoping for an Infinity Gauntlet type storyline with Thanos as the villain.........not Cap vs Iron Man....

Infinity Gauntlet would be awesome.At least as an act.

I thought MUA was too big in scope and that they tried to do too much which resulted in it feeling chaotic and all over the place. I hope MUA2 has more of a focus and not the "hey lets throw in as much Marvel stuff in this as possible"

 

[shadowdog]

Yeah, I want a story that actually involves the characters you select, so that we don't get another game where it doesn't matter who you play because they are all just nameless, nonspeaking sprtes that punch and kick, I want to feel a connection to the characters.

 

[bored]

edit: Wait, nm. I remember.

I still didn't get to see those pics, though .

Playing X-men Legends 2 right now and they really should just go back to that formula but add the block button. It really is much better than the oversimplified Marvel: Ultimate Alliance.

pictures?

Yeah XML2 was a great game! They should do an XML3.

 

[shadowdog]

Hopefully MUA 2 will be better than the first and that it will revitalize the series, and we might FINALLY get an XML3

The block button was in MUA

I started playing XML2 again on PSP and it is such a great game. The powers were so much better then in MUA and the AI characters actually used their powers! It felt more like a comic book game because there were powers being used all over the place and destructible environments. The powers in MUA were a lot more toned down I think.

 

[Savage]

I know. X-men Legends II didn't.

Same here. I also like that the AI is smart enough to switch moves on their own and use HP an XP potions at their own discretion. It actually surprised me after playing MUA for so long to see the group working so well in such spectacular fashion as opposed to just wailing on people gangbanger style.

 

[Philly Phanboy]

The Runaways too dammit.

Having an uber powerful Molly that had to sleep after every big fight would certainly be unique.

Yeah, it makes no sense. In MUA it feels like its just you and then some other characters tagging along, but in XML2, it actually felt like a superhero team, not a team of thugs that just cluster****ed everyone. They would actually use their powers a lot so you could get combo after combo which adds a lot to the team mechanic. Its funny that in MUA they tried to get the whole team thing down, with being able to build your own team and all that, but they didnt' think about the AI when it came to actually fighting with the team.

 

[Storm22]

I remember in XML2 I had to put some of my team on defensive position cause they'd just barge in and destroy everyone straight away with various power combos.

 

[Savage]

And that is really just awesome because once enemies showed up there were fireworks everywhere. This would really look great on the next gen consoles if they just went back and stole their own game engine for MUA2.

 

[Hurm...]

Civil War?! Civil War in next MUA!???!!?!? WHAT!?









Freakin'sweet Can't wait!

 

[GL1]

...players will be able to "fuse" two character's powers together to give one character hybrid abilities

Uh... no thanks. Hopefully this will be a fully optional piece.

Civil War can be done very badly very easily, too..

Hopefully they'll put a Runaway or two in and that'll save it for me.

 

[Savage]

Yeah the powers thing does sound ridiculous but so did the deal with the costumes being powered up and I think that turned out fine.

I don't see how they can go wrong with Civil War if they just keep the basic concept and make up their own storyline so the player has SOME kind of control over who ends up on what side.
