Square Enix's Avengers

[Kuwolski]

I don't want the FF or X-Men in this...It's an Avengers game. I wouldn't mind Wolverine or Beast as DLC, but anything more and it just dilutes the various franchises by mixing them up. We are getting MUA3 for our Marvel Universe fix, keep this focused on the Avengers, which I believe they will

They signed a multi-game pact with Square, so I'm sure we'll get a FF or X-Men game down the road.

 

[The Caped Knight]

So is this game a MCU game or a Marvel Ultimate Alliance game that has The Avengers, X-men, Fantastic Four, Inhumans, Defenders etc?!

 

[Gamma Goliath]

It's just an Avengers game. As far as we understand it's set in the gamerverse possibly on the same universe as Marvel's Spiderman game. It's not ultimate alliance, that sequel is on switch exclusively.

It's an original Avengers game set within it's own universe. Nothing to do with the MCU. Doing their own thing like Insomniac's Spider-Man.

 

[HexualCirce]

It depends if it's based on the mythology of the comics or the MCU

But they are still going to want to use the most recognizable characters. Those three being the most recognizable women associated with the Avengers at the present. I'm also wondering if they're planning on expanding the roster through DLC. It seems like a no brainer, however who knows what the game dynamics are like yet.

It can still be an Avengers focused game while featuring cameos from non Avengers characters and it wouldn't be mixing them up. There could be a cutscene where Tony Stark goes to the baxter building to talk with Reed Richards and unlock the F4 that way and then Steve Rogers or Bruce Banner goes to the X mansion and speaks with Charles and a small X-Men group.

If there's free roam then they don't have to be featured at all beyond referenced and be bonus dlc characters. They can have an F4 or X-Men banner on the character selection screen so they won't be mixed up.

Batman Arkham City has Catwoman as a playable character for free roam while Arkham Knight has Azrael and both games have Nightwing, Robin and Joker for challenge modes. Why can't this game have that for non Avengers?

 

[Kuwolski]

Those are all Bat-related characters and feel organic to that world. The Fantastic Four are it's own franchise, ditto the X-Men. This may be part of a greater Marvel games universe down the line, but I want a tightly focused Avengers-centric game. Save those teams for their own games, in which I wouldn't want (or need) Avengers characters/cameos. I understand it's fun to think about, but it feels like a cheap gimmick. I can see the possibility of a games universe leading to a big crossover game at some point, but if you can't make an Avengers game without including non-Avengers who are playable, then you aren't doing a good job.

 

[Zorro]

It would be a tightly Avengers centric game with all Avengers playable characters. Fine no cameos but references to establish that they exist is fine and dlc characters would simply be guest characters for fun and not interfere with the game, story or it's characters.

Tony mentioning Reed or Black Panther mentioning Storm or Hulk mentioning Wolverine wouldn't be a distraction. It's not neccisarily needed but it's a harmless inclusion to establish that they exist in that world. Batman Arkham and Spidey PS4 have easter eggs and mentions just fine

 

[BrollySupersj]

I would severely dial back expectations for this "reveal". I'm willing to bet it's just going to be another CGI trailer.

Easter eggs are more then fine, I would hope for that.

We've gotten a ton of Marvel U games out the wazoo the past decade, from an mmo to mobiles to Lego Marvel and now the upcoming MA3. My main point is the greatest Marvel game we've received, Spider-Man PS4 (Game of the Year candidate) was completely built around that character and his world. There were references and easter eggs, but self-contained within Spider-Man's world. This is how a AAA game (at least out of the gate) should be done. I'm certain it will. There will be DLC, but I'm sure it will feel organic and advance the story with Avengers characters from the comics

Very likely. I'm thinking a fall 2020/21 release, although I hope I'm wrong.

 

[Zorro]

Even if it'll be another cgi cinematic trailer, I'm still excited because we can get an idea what to expect. We can get a short story tease and see a couple of characters with their designs like a shot of Cap, Iron Man and Thor

 

[Silvermoth]

At least we know it’s still happening. I’ll be happy with just a cast list but they’ll probably drip feed that

Save the X-Men, the Fantastic Four and the Guardians to their own game.

Part of me is hoping its get released at the end of the year, but this is the first time in two years that they will be releasing ssomething. We would be lucky if there's already a gameplay video for this.

 

[Nathan]

At the very least I expect gameplay. If they are just showing off another CGI Trailer, then they shouldn't have bothered.

 

[AndrewGilkison]

I don't mind a trailer if it gives us more information about the game. We need something substantial after a vague teaser, followed by two years of silence.

Square Enix Avengers project worldwide reveal confirmed for E3 (June 10th)

 

[Gamma Goliath]

You're about a day late on that pal. Lol

 

[Iceman]

Yep, even if brief I really want to see a bit of gameplay.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

I expect a little bit of gameplay. I expect it to be a little like spidermans first big reveal trailer from e3.

 

[Zorro]

Trailer or not, would be nice if one of the developers take the stage afterwards and talks about the game like many do at E3 during conferences

[Zorro]

[The Caped Knight]

So it will feature Cap, Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye?!
