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

I'm happy that they're ditching the traditional camera angle from the past games and actually putting some effort into the environment and character models. All they have to do this time is include characters that are a bit more A-list than Elektra and Blade.

and look how much that sucked. Im very worried about this title

Theres nothing to be worried about tho? If you enjoyed the first one then theres a good chance youll enjoy this one. If you didnt like the first one, then i highly doubt this one will offer anything thatll change your mind.

I want to see sabretooth and dr. strange return with a new addition such as Namor or Punisher, definetly Punisher.

The only real reason I think Blade and Elektra were in it was because they had movies,and so non comic readers might recognize them a bit more. This time around we definitely need more characters involved in the comics nowadays. She-Hulk,Thunderbolts,eyc.

I hope that they really read the VIP boards of the first MUA. Meaning that they've seen enough people complain and Blade and Elektra won't make a return.

We don't know they're changing the traditional camera angle yet, we still haven't seen any solid actual gameplay footage.

 

[Nathan]

Well, somewhere they mentioned that they would give certain situations a more cinematic feel, like pulling the camera back while you go crazy on the streets. I really do hope that we won't have a bird's eye view most of the time.

 

[shadowdog]

yeah they had said that they are trying some new things they are trying with the camera for the cinematics and that they are trying to incorporate it into the gameplay.
And luckily they have been reading boards in their research, so hopefully all of our collective *****ing will pay off- I knew it would eventually.

 

[Storm22]

Yeah, I'm just eager to see some gameplay footage now though.

 

[0neDisturbedSOB]

Have they released a street date or a roster of characters yet?

 

[shadowdog]

by the end of the fiscal year, which I believe is March 09.
There have been 15/24 characters confirmed so far

looks interesting... is it a fighting game, or a fighting/strategy game

 

[bootlegbaker]

This plays like the old game but imagine a much bigger scale....theres a lot of co-op between the charaters powers as well, hence Fusion, they showed a small trailer at Comic Con and it looks amazing!

 

[ProjectPat2280]

There is already a thread on this, plus this is a MULTIPLATFORM title so it had no business in the MS section in the first place.

MUA 2 Preview

Interesting article on the game. Good to hear about the much improved character models but concerns are raised over the same engine being used for the game.

Off the top of my head...

1. Spider-Man
2. Iron Man

He is, he's one of the confirmed playable characters, along with the others on my list above.

this game is being made by a different set of developers. Theres no guarantee that one that one that enjoyed the last game will enjoy this one. Considering Vicarious Visions track record with games, I am worried about this one. I for one hope they dont disapoint, but I definetly wont be surpised if they do

 

[Hulkfan2008!]

He is, he's one of the confirmed playable characters, along with the others on my list above.

mr fantastic has been confirmed by gameinformer magizine they said he has much better powers now so your list is 100% acurate for now.

 

[Hulkfan2008!]

i know this is a corny site but has valuable info, so read up it has the gameinformer interview. i have the book myself and its confirmed that they did indeed change camera angles and has mr fantastic and also takes up on the nick fury's secret wars story and my indeed go into the civil war.

The art style is perhaps the largest change that has been made from the first game to Fusion. Vicarious is using Steve McNiven's vision of a more realistic and down-to-earth character design which makes the action hit closer to home. The character models that I saw during the demo featured a much thicker layer of detail, with muscles and pieces of armor bursting out in places while the characters themselves had a more human look to them

That, for me, is a HUGE upside. I wasnt at all crazy about the look of most of the characters from the previous game.
