Who what where?
So, after years and years of Marvel staying under the radar, relegated to releasing free cell phone games, they're finally making an aggressive move back into console gaming. Marvel vs Capcom Infinite and this new Square Enix thing is Marvel laying the gauntlet DOWN B****!

Rumor: Marvel Heroes code points to a PlayStation port; Beast and Black Bolt on the way

Its easy to get carried away based on circumstantial evidence when speculating about the future. Players have been suspecting that Marvel Heroes might be making plans to port over to consoles, but theres been little real evidence.
Skills are getting more simplified, sure, but they had gotten overcomplicated. Only one skill tray to use? That could just be a UI cleanup. Simpler systems? Again, fighting against overcomplication! Code snippets in the official game referring to the PlayStation?
All right, that one does probably mean something.
Yes, careful fan examination has revealed a few tags in the games client that point toward various PlayStation 4-specific functions, which may very well be the smoking gun necessary to support this particular theory; combined with several other elements that could be pointing toward a console port (and the fact that discussion about it has been deleted from the forums), and everything lines up rather nicely. Obviously, nothing has been formally announced or confirmed, so it all remains well within the realm of speculation, but its now well within the realm of plausible speculation with supporting evidence.

Coool!
I hope they don't just use the avengers cast from the movies though.
I kinda doubt that. I got the sense that its about them returning. As cool as the new characters can be, there's still much that can be done with the classics.
You can bank on the movies rosters being in this. Imo.
The ideal playable characters for this are the ones that got a solo mcu movie and the others that joined the Avengers in the films.
As it's a multi-film deal it's going to be very interesting to see what material the follow up projects might cover. Best possible news. First Disney sorts out Star Wars films, then Star Wars games and now MCU games.
These games are not MCU related, they are all original stories,same for Spidey. Better this way imo.
Yes sorry I didn't mean to write MCU. And agreed that it's definitely better as it gives them scope to do whatever works best for them without being limited by the films.

Yeah glad they aren't rushing this out. Good to have the announcement and now I'm prepared to wait for them to take their time to produce top quality games that can build a foundation for the future. It just took one game, Arkham Asylum, to change Batman games (hopefully for good) and I hope they can aspire to that level of quality in the first game they put out.
Spider-Man and this new Avengers project have so much potential, they also chose great developers. I think we are going to see great things. Marvel vs Capcom isn't really my thing and I never played a Telltale game so I don't know what to expect from it.
It's pretty much the best news that could possibly have been announced in gaming for me. I remember when they announced that Star Wars was finally going to get taken seriously with top developers announced for all the planned games and it looks like we are getting this finally with the much neglected Marvel stable.
But in regards to the 2 you mention, MvC is very much my thing and I love Telltale..played nearly everything they've put out multiple times and will probably be done with everything left in about a month. What a time to be a Marvel fan, film fan and games fan!
Same here.I'll probably give Spider-Man a try but MVC and the Avengers game are my priorities rn. I enjoy getting a large spectrum of Marvel heroes to play as, usually.
Square-Enix isnt having their Japanese RPG team make this. Its their western studios that make Tomb Raider and Deus ExAvengers Project, MvC:I and Spider-Man... It's like Marvel finally realized where their gap in entertainment was. When was the last good Marvel game released?
But man alive... Avengers themed Final Fantasy? That would be so awesome. (I know that's probably not exactly what we're gonna get). But I'd be so down.
That's kind of boring. One thing I've absolutely hated under Disney (though they have gradually been moving away from it) was demanding that the Avengers in all media be those 6 Avengers and those 6 alone, give or take maybe a few additions. It's why I had such a hard time getting into the stupid Avengers Assemble show.
So while the movie Avengers will definitely be the selling point I hope the studio reaches beyond that a bit.
What six avengers? Its the big four plus Strange, Spidey, Ant Man, Black Panther, Capt Marvel, the twins, Black Widow, Hawkeye, War Machine, Falcon and whoever new Avengers are in A3. That's a decent line up for a game that I am assuming to be different than the MvCI. Some of those characters have yet to appear in an AAA console game that isn't made by Capcom or aren't designed as toys or Legos.
What six avengers?
